Hercules Invictus

Hercules was raised on the mythic tales of his Greek ancestors and embraced Olympian spirituality very early in life. Whereas most little boys in the days of his youth wanted to be firemen, policemen or soldiers when they grew up he wanted to be a modern day Hercules.
 
Hercules has devoted over 30 years to his professional career in Education and the Human Services, deeming these the best arenas for righting social ills. In Pennsylvania his Labors have focused on Family Literacy and Workforce Development. He also runs numerous Workshops on a wide range of topics ranging from Personal Marketing to Ghost Hunting.
 
His public explorations of living mythology first began in 1973 and have continued ever since.  
 
As 'Thor the Barbarian' he has adventured on fringe cable TV, the hinterlands of UHF and indie films. NJN has named him the 'Motivational Barbarian' and the 'Human Services Superhero'.
 
With his wife Athena (aka Muninn) he branched out into comic strips, e-radio and local fundraisers for worthy causes.
 
Together they founded Hercules Invictus 501(c), a non-profit corporation that promotes life-long personal development, human empowerment, out-of-the box thinking, creative self-expression and a dedication of one's unique talents to community service.

Hercules Invictus also celebrates the Hero's Journey in myth, legend, spirituality, popular culture and in daily life. Hercules and Athena also founded the Regional Folklore Society, Mythikos Labyrinthos and Olympian Starseeds.

Athena Victory

Since pre-school, I felt drawn to the powerful goddesses of Ancient Greece, especially Athena and Artemis.  The rich pantheon of heroes and gods resonated with me.  These influences lead to a lifelong interest in mythology and polytheism.
 
I believe that humans should define themselves as heroes and do their utmost to make this world better place for all its creatures. There is so much to learn and experience in this magickal world!  We walk a path both spiritual and physical.  As we interact with our environment, we touch hidden depths within ourselves.  As a teacher, I like to show others how to find the Divine within themselves.

I usually describe myself as a mental magpie because my restless intellect bounces all over the place looking for shiny bits of knowledge and lore.  A few years back, I created Sabertooth's Pride, an eclectic collection of paleontology, feline spirituality, cat mythology, and cats in popular culture.  I'm always cross referencing and researching something! 
 
I've presented various workshops and art classes at the Hawley Public Library and for Wallenpaupack Adult Community Education.  Some of my past workshops have been Goddess Power, Practical Magic, The Many Faces of Dracula, Bat Fest, and Prehistoric Cats.

In this life, I considered myself blessed with my husband, children, and friends.  Hercules Invictus (our 501(c)) has been an endless opportunity to explore and define my spirituality and re-discover myself.  I look forward to sharing my journey through our workshops.

Christopher Wright
Being a father, Christopher understands the challenge of keeping children occupied at camping events. Table games are a way for children to relax and connect with their parents in a fun way.

Christopher has spent 15 years active in the Society for Creative Anachronisms, where he developed a love of period board games and period dance. He has enjoyed teaching both to groups of all sizes and ages .

Christopher has been on an eclectic spiritual journey for more than 2 decades. It's been a wonderful path, leading him to the study of many different philosophies and beliefs, each one opening a door to another. He sees religion as a walk along an endless beach, picking up shells as we go along and finding joy and wonder in the unique Beauty of each.


The Fall Frolic Staff would like to thank all of our great presenters this year for coming out and making it another wonderful year!
