Psyche uses origin myths—particularly non-Western creation narratives like the Tibetan monkey-and-ogress story—to examine how civilizations encode their spiritual and psychological essence into their founding tales. These myths reveal what a culture considers sacred, primal, and necessary for survival, functioning as maps of collective consciousness rather than mere historical records.
