Welcome to “Mythological Lessons for the Trump Era,” beginning on April 1, 2025—a course that takes a deep dive into the intersection of myth, power, and the tumultuous political landscape of the United States under Donald Trump. By examining the timeless lessons from mythology, we aim to better understand the forces that have shaped Trump’s presidency and, in turn, the broader narrative of modern American politics.
Starting April 1, 2025, we’ll explore how figures from ancient myths embody critical lessons that resonate with the challenges and paradoxes of the Trump era. We begin with The Lost Sons and Fathers of America—an exploration of the fractured relationship between leadership, legacy, and inheritance in the American political system. Narcissus will reveal the dangers of self-obsession, as Trump’s deep engagement with his own image mirrors the myth of self-love that leads to ruin. Zeus offers insight into the unpredictable and often authoritarian tendencies that have defined much of Trump’s approach to power. Fáfnir, the greedy dragon, reflects the “America First” ethos and the pursuit of wealth and control that drives much of Trump’s political agenda.
We’ll also explore Cassandra—the ignored warnings about Trump and the prophetic voices whose concerns have too often been dismissed, yet proved eerily prescient. Lastly, we turn to Loki, the trickster who thrives on creating chaos, highlighting how Trump’s political strategies have often revolved around unpredictability and disruption.
Each lesson will use these mythological archetypes as a framework for understanding the forces at play in contemporary politics. By the end of the course, you’ll gain a unique perspective on how mythological themes continue to shape not only the figure of Donald Trump but the political environment that defines the modern world.

- Welcome to this unique course, where we use the power of mythology to better understand modern politics and global events. Myths are not just ancient stories—they are archetypal reflections of human nature. In this course, we will explore myths that provide deep insights into leadership, power, greed, isolation, and conflict. Our central figure is Donald Trump, a leader who has shaken the world. Is he a tragic hero like Narcissus, trapped in his own reflection? Is he a capricious Zeus, ruling with thunder and threats? Or is he a chaotic trickster like Loki, undermining old structures and reshaping the political landscape? In this course, you will go through six lessons, each based on a powerful myth. Every lesson includes: A detailed reading of the myth, as originally recorded in classical sources. An analysis of how the myth connects to Trump and modern world politics. A guided dream incubation session—a relaxing visualization exercise that helps you explore the lesson’s themes in your dreams. You are encouraged to share your dreams and insights in our private Facebook group, where we can dive even deeper into the wisdom of these ancient stories. Prepare for a journey through mythology—and into the psyche of the most powerful figures of our time.12
