The Tao of The Inklings

Welcome to the Tao of The Inklings, I’m your host Wes Durham.  Chances are, every fantasy book you’ve ever read has been influenced in some way by a society of writers who called themselves the Inklings. C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Owen Barfield, Charles Williams, and their friends held informal meetings at pubs and parlors in England throughout the mid-1900s. These authors held day jobs as Oxford academics with a concentration in all the fairytales and fantasy that came before them.  In conversation with each other, they wrote the most fascinating and fantastical tales, encoded with secret meanings and shrouded in mystery even to this day. Join me each week as I dive into their texts, uncovering the hidden symbolism, mysticism, and connections between worlds. Whether you’ve read their books once, a hundred times, or have yet to enter their realms, experience the sense of magic that comes from seeing a story come to life in the most unexpected ways.
