Does Anybody Else Here Love Mythology?

Asian, Scandinavian, Greek, European, or any other type?

I Love the Mythology concerning the Gods, Demons, and Monsters, more than the actual people, etc.


Example of a cool story I found recently:

Kagatsuchi: A Fire God from Japan. Upon being born, he burned his mother to death by accident, since he was constantly on fire. Enraged by him burning his mother alive, but more because He Killed his father's Wife, his father took his sword, and hacked Kagatsuchi into many pieces, and as each piece was hacked off, the piece formed into a God of it's own, and even the Blood that stained Kagatsuchi's father's sword became a God. I forgot the name of that God, and the others, but the God that was made from the Blood on the Sword is a God Very Revered by Japanese Swordsmiths.

Hua Po: A Fairie/Pixie/Sprite/Demon, that is created/born when 3 people hang themselves in order to commit suicide, from the exact same tree.

Gozuh Tennoh : A Cow Headed Bhuddist God, or a God that Advocated Bhuddism.

Pisaca: In indian culture, when a man drank, gambled, or did other such activities in excess, a Pisaca was born from the emotions and energy associated with that.

Mizumi ( Spelling): A Japanese Snake that is made entirely of Water.

I'm a big fan of most mythologies. They are interesting to learn new things about. So many different ones from so many cool places, its a whirlwind of fun.

i like mythology i have an interes mainly in european mythology esp Greek/Roman, Norse, and Celtic i am also pretty familiar with Christian mythology but its nowhere near as interesting and a hell of a lot less mysterious

My favourite mythologies are Babylonian, Sumerian, Celtic and Finnish.

I like mythology a lot. I like Norse(well I am an Asatruar after all), Greek/Roman, and African the best.

Asatruar?


That seems familiar, but I forgot what it meant.

For some reason I doubt that to a large extent, as any contemporary Norse mythos-based worship would be largely exaggerated and skewed. ALso, the fact that you are still alive is sort've an oddity... either that, or you are seriously straying from your devine path. If I happen to be wrong, then I'm very sorry, and a hearty hail Tyrto you.

I enjoy to see how Myths and legends warp to accomodate history, and the other way around.
