The Mythopoeic Society is a nonprofit organization focused on the study, discussion, and enjoyment of fantastic and mythopoeic literature, with particular emphasis on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Charles Williams. Based in Altadena, California, it operates internationally and engages its audience through books, periodicals, annual conferences, discussion groups, and awards. The society aims to balance an appreciation for its core authors with a broader examination of myth-making in literature, avoiding both doctrinal propagation and cult-like adulation while encouraging scholarly and casual engagement alike. It serves readers, scholars, and fans interested in the Inklings and related mythopoeic traditions, providing communities and events that foster discussion and critique. Recent activities include announcing and shortlisting winners and finalists for the Mythopoeic Awards, reflecting ongoing participation in its established program of recognition and community events.
