With all my talk about the upcoming rebirth of mythology; I haven't dug deep into what I see when designing characters, and the journeys they must go on in order to add a new vibrational energy to the collective thoughts of the reader. So, let me start by saying, I believe that this world we live in is nothing but a simulation of information that was imprinted on each and every thought being in existence. We are not as individuals, or as a collective, the Source of our experience though we do get to decide when and how to experience our experiences. This fact is the core of my characters.
For too long, it has been said that we authors have little say in what goes on in our novel. That we as gods or creators of an imaginary, far reaching, world which we share with our reality, have no sway over what is going to happen in them. That we are writing with one headlight in the fog, even after we've completed the first draft. Bullshit! Is there any wonder why novels are recycling stories, with that mentality? We as reflective creator gods, have to put our foot down like all powerful people do. We have to tell our characters that the buck stops with us. Once we gain that type confidence then we can do anything. And by anything I'm suggesting we fulfill the need for a new style . . . I mean hero. That is going to take some getting used to but let's look at what the Unnamed and Unseen Creator God is sending through the gridlines. We can do this not by what anyone says but what everyone say. First, we say we are spirits having a material experience. Yet, we have forgotten that to be spirits we must become Spirits. That ain't easy. Which means, mythologist, that we have something to write about right there. Second, we say we are gods, not God but in God which makes us gods. No one has really defined how to learn how to be gods because it takes a god to raise a god. What are we? Mythologist, we are gods . . . creator gods; especially when we are on our own spiritual adventure. Hence another thing to write about. Third, we say we are immortal. No one speaks in common language of immortality as if we were immortals. Sounds like a job for a few mythologists. Lastly, for the sake of space, we say we are lightworkers from the stars. How many stories can you think of, mythologist, which touch on this subject. Remember I have stated that if we do our job correctly, the publishing houses will be knocking down our doors. Because no matter what, we must still tell a good story. Just like life within this thought simulator, the rules and understanding of the basic principles have been laid out for us. We know there is a beginning, a middle, and an end. Hopefully we also know what goes in each section and not just a beginning, middle, and end. We know that there is a greed, a hunger, for stories which takes readers to superhero status in places far, far away or in the next big city. Upon accompanying the author on an adventure of a divine character created just for them- or at least feels that way, they will be craving for more. We are guides, way-showers, and until we embrace this fact, we will never be trusted with the raw material of stories covering subjects such as those four mentioned above. It's hard but it isn't difficult. As Denzel Washington said, "If it was easy," there would be no masters of the craft. As we are all at the bottom awaiting to rise, like yeast, know that embracing the craft and owning our mastery is what will convince the Universe to "give" us the chances we need. Because, we will have risen in vibration and the thinker behind the thought beings will rise to meet us. Always! Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew

There is much advice about having an audience. Some say have that one person in mind, while others say write for self. I say, and this is only my opinion, that we renaissance mythologist, born of the mother of comparative mythology must do both. We need to know that we are talking to people who most likely spend their free time reading and digesting mythology, religion, and philosophy. That's important. Yet, we need to be open to the collective thought which is being birth through us. We need to be completely responsible to us but for us by us. Plus, we need to be a little bit responsible to society as a whole.
The world is made up of different religious beliefs (which is really what mythology is) and as such we really need to know where people have been and are at order to lead them where they are trying to go. I have stated many times, mythology is the road map to manifestation of a new story and new directions for all people. This means that we don't just explain concepts we make them, and we need to know who we are making these new concepts for. Which takes a lot of confidence not in our own imagination but in the combination of what we've been gifted with and the forethought of the Unnamed, Unseen, Unlimited Creator. To state that we have such confidence, not with our words but with our creations, says a lot about us. Knowing that we are the old kids on the new block, will take us far. We are more likely to listen to the muses which whispers guidance and steady our hands as we sculpt new masterpieces. Now there are going to be people that we will not be able to communicate with, no matter what. I'm talking about the far reaching people whether they be right or left. Presenting our new instruction to a wide audience just ain't going to cut it. We are not rock stars and we will never be one, so if you plan on becoming so filthy rich you can't stand it then think again. We are the way showers, the tellers of the new style, and the new living waters. So, take all the consequences of this game like a grown ass adult. This is a big task and many people are going to be afraid of our boat rocking at this lifeline; but trust in self, those who came before us, and the true One god- because something somewhere created all this even if it is just a dream. Do not let the opinions and thoughts of being exiled, laughed at, or excommunicated convince you to back down. Stand your ground because life is in constant change and we currently have no idea who we or what we really, really will influence. That's the key. The one person who we are writing for hasn't been born; maybe. The one person is a professor in the making; probably. Or the one person is just a lover of all things religious, mythological, and philosophical; most likely. But anyway, the reader we must have in mind cannot be simple because our work will reflect it. Be brave, stand strong, and know that we will get our day, mythologist. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew One of the things about being on the front lines of creativity during the start of the new "Golden Era," we have no molds to fit into. We can't be forced to make our works fit into the cookie cutter shape because not even the dough has been made. The publishers don't know what will sell and what won't they don't know where the next Homer is coming from or what she will talk about. Yeah, they may have a general, ballpark, estimate but they know not for sure; this isn't YA or a retelling we're talking about. Once again, these houses will be trying to catch lightening in a bottle after the first one of us light up the skies of publishing.
With all that said, we as mythologist must deliver something original and mold breaking. I've talked on the different kinds of mythologist, how we're to use the logical side of our brain and think like a scientist, and even the mobility of mythology; but I haven't stressed the importance of allowing the Great Mystery to download and brief us on the protocol for the new Thought Being coming down the pipe line of our reality. See, today, thanks to monotheism we have the choice to talk to the Unnamed God ourselves. The Christians, Muslims, Egyptians, and Buddhist may not have intended us to be empowered enough to jump over the heads of custodian gods and talk to this Source of All and true One, but I for one am taking the opportunity which allows us to justifiably speak with this Unnamed God itself. No longer is the Thought Beings of the Dark Age going to be able to survive; adapt or die. And I know that people have been talking up the fact that the Spa Planet: Earth is now rotating back into the time period of increased sunlight and therefore receiving more influential energies from the sun, but even the speakers of yesterday said that what I speak of would happen during today era. Remember 2012 was the end of a calendar era. We got over 12,000 years of bright energies coming so we, you and I mythologist, have to be careful of what we say, how we say, and when we say. All the while we must maintain a level of Truth in the things we say. Truth is the metal, or plastic, which the mold is made of and we must bring new Truths to the table. Meditation and contemplation on what you receive during meditation will enable you to bring these new Truths out. Again, we are not alone in doing this. Real artisans are about to begin new reincarnation cycle as we are no longer hampered by the darkness of ignorance meaning we will not be able to do justice to the field of Truth and Influence in one lifetime. Once again true channelers of life thoughts for Thought Beings are about to be identified and they will not be what we have seen in the past majority. There is no need to fret, hopefully these words don't weird you out. If they do, just return to you center as an artist, a creator of the ideologies and mythologies of tomorrow, and pray; for you are needed and it is not my intention to force anyone open or frighten them. If you want to think I'm a little weird, it's okay. I'll take that. I will continue to harp on this mythology stuff till the day I die. I'm almost complete with my first mythology; with me having to do only the editing and rewriting of the last 10 chapters of the 30 that I've written. Over 94,000 words this Hour of Change is. My first mythology takes place in a different dimension of Earth, named Welnikov. I selected, or better it was shown to me, because we are multidimensional Thought Beings and will one day be conscious about traversing the many different dimensions that our Unnamed Creator has provided for us. This is the mold breaking type of stuff which I speak of. We all have gifts which needs to be exploited until there is nothing left, like the mythologist of yesterday did. Again, done properly, we will gain control of the publishing reins and the big publishing house will have to act accordingly. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew There are few deep in this game, or there will be, but of this few some, not all, have a basic rule missing. This rule is, being a mythologist is a little bit scientist. Here's why; you must be able to show you know history, mythology, the process of science, and wrap it up in the ability to stand on your own damn feet. It's not hard because we have to deliver messages. Nor is it difficult because we must start with an original nucleus of a story. It is challenging because we have to know a wide range of everything that anything of importance. We, mythologist, are the storytelling handyman. We keep shit together and working.
Although history is a hard art, something that cannot be molded into a new form once it has congealed, it is an art which takes a strong creative eye which will able to call Bullshit! When we see it. We must know what was done and how it was done, because although we can never duplicate, we can imitate the works of the Great Mystery. Want to know how many hard tests we should put this protagonist through, watch somebody's life go through a growth spurt. Want to know what a villain looks like, listen to some of the very people who are disliked. But we know this, you say. No, we know what used to be the norm. This is now the beginning of the middle of the Information Age and although the wild, wild, west is pretty much over, the dust hasn't completely settled, and this means that what is today's main event will be tomorrow's history. We've still to learn what wisdom to share because we as a society is still collecting information which turns into energy (thoughts and wishes), which turns into experience, which turns into wisdom. Our job, mythologist, is to go through the process without going through the process and that takes skills. The skill is to recognize historical events as they are happening. Mythology ain't no better because although the stories are the same, they are so different. I've often said, hell I barely got the mythologies of yesterday down how can I be at the front lines telling mythologies of tomorrow? But we've got to do it. We've. Got. To. Do. It! We got to know which god has changed his named twenty or thirty times and on top of that what were those names and how did the characteristic traits differ from each other. How else are we going to be able to call Bullshit! when we see it? At the least we need to know that the major gods are supposed to have come out of an area named Sumer and that these deities were aliens, spacemen. Yeah, it's a dirty game and you've got to keep your mind sharp and on the stories. What readers need too know is what these gods and goddesses will do next based on three things: what they've done, the current Information Age, and the upcoming renaissance of the era of enlightenment. Remember our information will turn into tomorrow's wisdom. The process of science is what's going to separate the goats from the sheep. This is the process where we must not only observe and theorize but we must be consistent and accurate while doing it. You know R Kelly before he became jail Kelly. That man can't read or write (which he admitted) but he can sing a hit song into existence. Time after time after time. We must form our own opinions based on our own spirituality. We must be rational and logical while being creative and original. This is something that demands one's own voice and, again, there may not be many of us but those who make the cut will not be able to be fucked with. Time is our friend and ally as it will allow us to be the apprentice, which becomes the fellow, and therefore the eventual master. People are living longer so we, mythologist, have the easy job of translating concepts which are now in the tailpipe. With dedication and much trial and error, you'll be a little scientist. Never too late to start, always reconsider quitting, because ultimately its between you and the Great Spirit and the little spirits which personally and intentionally does the Great Mystery bidding; disembodied but embodied here and there. I used to say if there one, then there are two . . . and so on- you've heard it before. But now I say if there two then there are few, and I will be happy because this game is deep. It's chess man, it's chess. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew It may seem that I'm all rainbows and sunshine about being a mythologist- all the time. But as we know, looks may be deceiving. I too am in the dark when it comes to this birthing of a new mythology. Hell, I barely got the old mythology down. But I do know that I must keep forward or I will die. It's like the Floetry song, "I'll die." I would bet my two pennies, no by two dollars, that you are in the same boat; yet you cannot ignore writing. Not if you're still reading this blog post.
Being in the darkness isn't too bad. Yeah, there are creepy crawling things and its cold to the point you think you're in the land of the dead, but you are cocooned from the brightness of the light and the brutal toughness of the wind. At this moment we are not in danger of being snatched up by something bigger and meaner. These are just some of the benefits of being in the dark. Not all things will align. Many drafts will be needed to tell a good story and deliver a message. But as far as history has shown, the message is the thing that must be damn near flawless. We are held to a standard which fluffy, eye-candy is not. Plus, we are the renaissance of mythology. We can't just go about doing whatever we like, there are still rules to this even if it appears no one is watching. Who knows which of us may be taught in the high schools and colleges in a couple of centuries? Although as a writer we are to write for ourselves, as a mythologist the aim is to write in order to change the social momentum. So yes, we are stumbling in the darkness. Just as society is trying to learn to tie its shoes. And although we can say that the key factors of today are love, light, and peace, what will be the key factors of tomorrow? We as the regeneration should not look at the generated as hope because we will find no answers there. Always done, always get. Solutions' vibration must be higher than the vibration of the problem's. The bright side of all this is our freedom. At the moment we have no restraints or restrains as we are the bringers of the dawn. We are able to co-create with the publishing house, especially since what we are writing follow basic protocol. They can't do this without us and at the moment we can't do this without us. Because we are in our own lane delivering Truths from the Universe and the Collective Oneness, we become identifiers of the standards of tomorrow. Hold on! The sunshine and all the other things we ignorantly wish for are on the way. There is a collective, a whisper, that only the Great Mystery knows about in details. But it is not our business to know the details. We must keep the Keep while the heathens are banging at the door. Can you image their predicament? Trying to stop us. No matter the size of our group, the time is coming near for us to arise and maintain the new standard. Stay at this. Learn the darkness. And know that it will not last forever. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew According to the sixth step of the twelve steps of the Hero's Journey, this is when the hero gain allies and learn enemies. But what makes a "good" enemy? We all know you can only develop as far as your resistance can push you. With that said, you're only as good as you can push. This is truer in the world of mythology. The villain is the hero, and the hero is the villain; because it is all perspective and we as mythologist need to hold both as well as we hold one.
Today's villain is not evil for the sake of being. Let's say that we define evil as following. Something that is highly cultured and refined to the highest degree, which has the intent to constructively destroy belief systems and cultures; most times for the better but stereotypically presented as for the bad. Jesus was considered evil during his time. Taking this definition, we have to go beyond that funny drawing of a villain wanting to take over the world just because he wants to. The reason why a villain as one who wants to be sustained and nurtured by the entire ecosystem was accepted during earlier myths is because the guardian gods wanted such things and their co-creation, being stronger than creation, wanted the same things and hence a villain who wants the world in the palm of his hands. But the co-creation and the creation now sits at the same table when processing information during this emerging Age of Information. This leveled playing field means that we as mythologist must sculpt a new villain since we as an ecosystem face a new resistance and have new desires for change. Today's villain, however, cannot be evil for evil sake and, as we now know, cannot be driven by nothing. There must be a goal in the mind of the villain which someone, somewhere, can understand and agree with. Today's villains are just as desirable as the heroes if not more so. They tend to be wiser, stronger, and more in charge of themselves than the younger force that oppose them. The villain knows the world and is very good at manipulating it. As a matter of fact the villain has been doing so up until the hero and her team shows up. Being both outspoken and daring, the villain has learned to keep her temper in check. Often the villain's neighbors and coworkers will say that she was a nice person and that the behavior she just performed is out of character. When all along the villain's life is one of character. Just when we, as mythologist, got the process of the first five and fifty pages being the telling of what is about to unfold, we have to rethink our villains and know that they cannot, again, be evil for evil sake. Nor can they just want to be loved, because even the hero wants that and has wanted that since the days of the Mesopotamian stories. We'll figure this villain thing out because story can no longer replicate life; but life must replicate story- if our ecosystem is to survive this upcoming Age of Enlightenment. We are the harbinger of change because we understand that if we always write what we've always written, then society will always desire what it has always desired. Our villains must change . . . bottom line. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Let's for a moment play imagination. Now, let us imagine that what we write is Truth somewhere on some plane in some dimension. Let us say that we are the gods and goddesses that we proclaim that we are. That the bloodlines of those such as the Annunaki and the many members of global pantheons still pump through the veins of humans (and nonhuman alike.) Wouldn't that mean, mythologist, that we have a choice in our storytelling; just as those who deliver dreams to us have a choice in their deliverance?
There are two types of dreamers the Freudians and the Jungians. Here's a brief breakdown of the two. Freudians tell things which are to be healed and Jungians tell things which are already healed. Freudians tells what did happen and Jungians tells what will happen. And lastly, Freudians is victim mentality and Jungians is empowerment mentality. Personally, I am a Jungian. I'm certain that I don't agree with everything the man has said, but I don't agree with everything that Joseph Campbell said, and I support him still. Now combine those two paragraphs. We mythologist have to first discover what messages we are to deliver and to whom. A message can only be received on the vibration it was sent. You can't watch MTV on BET's frequency and vice versa. Once we discover what our individual frequency is then we will be able to churn out the messages as quick as our little hearts and minds can; and they won't land on deaf ears. Remember, those with ears to hear, as Jesus said. It will be broken down where the Freudians mythologist will be for the people who need to be warned and cooed and the Jungians mythologist will be for the people who needs to be rewarded and celebrated. There is no right or wrong, good or bad, there just is. There is the now don't let the descriptive wordings confuse you. I'm certain that these two men weren't thinking, "One day people will take our discoveries and used them in myths of new." So honor their intentions as we like our intentions to be honored. As far as what they did intent, I don't know. I mean they were once considered friends/mentor and mentee; until something or someone came between them. I believe that great minds don't debate but conversate, so it wasn't their difference in understanding of the messages from the gods but something more mortal in being. Anyway, as we daily sit before pad or screen in order to get a few pages done, remember that we are in fact delivering messages of how things are or how they should be. Don't flip-flop and know that there is an audience for both. Stay true to your path; stay in your lane. There is no need for bearing of arms when we all can just deliver what was delivered to us. Hope you keep this in mind when you begin sculpturing your latest and greatest masterpiece for someone somewhere. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew When I first got seriously interested in writing novels, I was so gun ho. I wanted what I wanted, and I wanted it then. Of course, that was me in a lot of the areas in my life back then, but anyway. It would take many disappointments and much sobriety and maturity for me to understand the best piece of writing advice I got during that time. I was told to live. Just that; live. I didn't understand. What did he mean by live? I was in my early twenties, hadn't I lived enough? No, I hadn't; but I didn't understand that.
This realization, that he was right, would take many slow years in the making. I would have to barely graduate from college; I would become a mother; I would move across state from my son father; I would become severely ill in many areas of my life; I would have to unlearn what I had learned; but most importantly I had to get me a library of my own. All of these things, and more, took time, but they allowed me to live. And all the while I kept telling stories. Now, here it is I look back and I see that my living was my apprenticeship. I didn't know it when I was in the hospital for this hurt or that hurt, but now that I'm on the road to recovery I see things with clarity. It wasn't the situation that was molding me into a writer but the development of character that was molding me into a professional of living and that is what makes a damn good storyteller. In today's era, we feel that we can squeeze a ten year marathon in a four year sprint. No, not if you're going to be a writer of mythology. Young Adult Fantasy? Yeah, you can dress up your teenage years and call them miniature adult years; you know brain candy. But when it comes to changing the social momentum, you have better had test driven life for all that it got. Don't think that I don't honor the teachings that university and college give a writer. I know quite well that it takes this structured type of education to know how to deliver act one in part one and act three in part three. These are things that can be taught, that can be short cut and driven around. Understanding the advanced concepts of mythology cannot. Take the time to invest in your own library. The library system here in Ohio is beautiful, but even it is not my own as I can't pick up something in the middle of the night on any night I wish. Your own library will aid in and cut years off life. Hell, it may even make you a better professional of life than living life can itself, if you read correctly. You will be very wise to become a collector of books or you will be slow in your mythological storytelling output because of the wear and tear you have to put on your Soul. This is something I wish he would have told me in addition to live. But I did live and now I know. That is my quick advice to all who wish to be a mythologist, live and read. Be discerning in what you live and inclusive in what you read. Take your time because this is not a hundred yard dash. Know that your vibration is everything and will go further than your voice will. But most of all, stand in Truth because although time changes Truth doesn't. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew Considering that today's era of Thought Beings doesn't embrace the power of mythology as a truth serum which can set one free, it could be easy for mythologist to take the easy route and not hold themselves to the standards of yesterday's storytellers. The truth is if no one reading the mythologist work but the mythologist, the myth maker needs to bring as much truth to their "fantasy" as possible. The fact that all writers are doing nothing more than explaining concepts should not be forgotten. In order to do so, there must be truth. And all truth hasn't been told otherwise we as a people wouldn't still be alive.
One of the things that I love about this wintery season, stories will be watched and told in abundance. In these stories, truth will be layered under pure nonsense. Is there such a thing as a talking snowman, no. Is there truth in the message of being oneself, no matter what, yes. And let's not get on the reindeer. No buddy, a glowing, red nose reindeer! Don't wait for the right time to layer your truth in your stories of "fantasy." Know that just as with non-fiction, history will determine which mythologists were brave enough to be ahead of their time and spoke truths that were considered unconventional during creation. No doubt that history has always and will continue to eventually determined who to call Bullshit on. But as a mythologist today, that is no more your concern than an immortal's popularity amongst mere mortals; honesty is. We are entering one of those energetically powerful decades which will lay foundation for decades and possibly centuries to come- be honest. We're all just trying to survive out here, but there is a different level of commitment and expectations for the keepers of the keys. And that, my fellow mythologist is what we are.
