Culturopoiesis, or Culture-Making

We live in sophisticated systems often best understood through psychological inquiry into inter-referential mythologies. The more we are aware of this process enough to participate in creation the more culture is made on purpose. I have practiced, am now, and aspire to be a better Culturesmith. This is a collection of existing evidence of public contributions to the culture-making process, with comments and original work from those who have asked to be represented here.

Mythopo...

Slochower writes mythopoesis
Hillman writes mythopoiesis

Dictionaries go back to poiein but extend it into both versions in the construction of derivative words.

Google shows 21,500 without the i or 1,190 with
but 439,000 for poiesis (backed up by dictionaries) and 432,000 for poesis (no dictionary backup).

arrgh.

Is there a Place which is the font of correct spellings for many of the "technical" terms I'm likely to use a bunch?
I SO would like to avoid having to do massive corrections of this kind later.

So consistency in any of these words is key.
Choose one spelling and stick to it.
Keep truckin my friend.
