In a recent article (which I have tried unsuccessfully to load a reference of to the Publications list on this site), I tried to outline a wisdom approach which a number of friends and I have loosely termed ancient wisdom studies. I am interested if anyone else might be interested in this topic and especially in composite wisdom diagrams and epic tales which encapsulate a culture's wisdom.
