Hey Freya...who's Nick?
I be Fuzz of the Budd.
All i'm saying is...
Its called Mythology right...well that presupposes that its all based on Myth right? as in stuff that may well not have happened right?
When really it could all be down to Archetypes...Story telling...Meta phores, Collective Unconscious....memories? future echoes? past echoes? present echoes?
of stuff that did is or will maybe going gone go on...
make sense?
eg. the Lockness Monster...Nessie...
SHe part of Myth and Legend right?
If someone is a legend....the had to do something right?
If someone is only known about through myth....that could mean waht to you me they us?
they did jack shit? or didn't exist?
hence...Robin Hood and King Arthur legend...
Jesus H. Christ mythology? legend?
grey area...grey matter...so before you dismiss Nick let him be slightly annony mouse...ok?
thanks....
like i said or meant to say somewhere....I talk preverbial shit. not the real stuff. i mean shit..erm.
BE Seeing You...
btw...who is the Magickian who makes the grass green?
(Sufi Riddle)

Fuzz,
you are not going to be dissmissed except if you trash people here on a regulare basis.
I like the way you write and i understand you.
Mythology is longer than Legend, Legend is longer than today, Prophecy is for what to come.
Logness is a Legend, people still seem to see him so that makes him a legend.
King arthur is a Myth, Robin Hood is a Myth too.
Have you ever thought about this, image this; 2000 years ago, there where monsters, magicians etc. But during time this reallity got split up in several reallities that are seperate now and will merge once more... soon.

Myths and legends hold more truth than people think, but seeing as most myths were passed down by word of mouth, over time they tend to get more and more fantastical, more exagerrated. The stories are made more Heroic in order to entertain the audience, but it does not make them totally false.

Well whatd'ya know..and Would you Adam and Eve it? What do you meant though Dude...trash people? Who? I gotta a right to remain silent and annonymous...Freya said something ikinda didn't like I've known her for about a year or os now...I'm sure i didn't offend her. Am Paranoid...waht do you mean TRASH people? erm, glad you like the riting. I am gonna think about what you said too...it makes sense...LOTR was kinda real once...goblins dragons gold etc...to whatever degree. The amount of fucking propagander flying around the world now though in 200 years if there are still people witch i believe there will be then...waht will people make of the mysterious Bin Laden of the caves...George Bush might become a metaphor and Blair will make about as much sense as he does now only less...that's weird. BARBI is the Princess or Britney. Eminem is Bad or is he? Michael Jackson an alien...and Bill Gates and evil silly looking tyrant...cos they will have access to photos and video and where he fuck will the INTERNET be man? that's kinda scarey....i think humans will remain in control at least till the end...  erm...so yeah. I likes Chaos magick which combines all this. glad it makes sense. am kinda rambling on in directions...that where started by bits of conversations i have had or been "lectured" on....More Morrow. CHeers for the cheese. food for thought. Riddle me This: "Yoghurt knows Yoghurt." night  |

Then, we will speak of that on our time to solve it, Fuzz.
But myths, I believe were real at one time. As you guys said. Aswell as to where people changed them to make them better, or so they thought it would be better.
Surion, I reallu do hope that things will merge again. To live in the land of the magical and fantasies, which would then not be fantasy anymore, now would it?

apologies for being rude...I did mean missed-ology when i wrote it and i know what mythology means too. also at the time i didn't like Freya calling me Nick on here as i like a certain degree of annanomity (sp?) anyways...I think its all sorted now and i hope i didn't piss anyone off. I like this forum and want to stay and I am doing my best to stick to the guidlines.
So back to Mythology...what are your favourite myths and why? which do you believe to be more true than others?
what do you think from our time now will be mythology of the future?

To my understanding of myths that I have read and studied over time as well as what I remember from the mythology class I took; myths are based on fact.
For example, take the attackes of the so called monsters by ancient sailors. Here you have a superstious lot, sailing into areas unknown, with the idea that if they go to far they will fall off the sides of the world, having met then unknown cultures, away from family and friends, seeing creatures they had not till then know existed, ect ect ect. The list could go on and on.
So then an octopuss with tenicles up to 20 feet long comes near the ship. Perhaps it even throws a tennicle or two up on deck. That could frighten anyone of that time enough to think they were being attacked by actual monsters.
Now scientist today have shown Octopusses for what they are. And there are actualy species that grow up far beyond 20 feet in length of their arms.
So the people of the ship write down their stories. But we all know that at that time the stories got around by word of mouth more then any method.
Now to my second point, has anyone taken a psychology class where the did the following test? The teacher would whisper a sentance to the first person in the room and from there the sentance would be passed around until the last person. The last person would stand up and say the sentance aloud and it would end up 9 times out of 10, no where near what it started out as.
So now take that knowledge and pass around a story as such as the mariners, who say they were attacked by monsters. Not to mention personal embelishment, the way the person in question percieved that around him/perspective and so on and it is highly doubtful that after say..40 tellings of pass on, the story is as the original.
The same idea could be used in many of the myths that have been passed down throughout history.
As to my favorite myths, they have and will always be the Greek myths.
And as to todays beliefs, I woder if someday they will turn into myths much as many past time faiths have.
