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. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew It has been asked if we can and/or will grow into our upcoming new mythologies. Those questioning, wonder if the idea of individuals transforming or going through a transmutation based on the stories they hear, is a little too farfetched. Any creative writer worth their weight in gold knows that in fact we are already living mythologies; but they are the mythologies of yesterday. Apparently, the people who control the media is purposefully keeping humanity stuck in a vicious cycle of depending on their gods and goddesses of yesterday or depending on one's own imagination and understanding. Either choice will lead, has led, the residents of this planet into uncharted land and darken confusion. Why? Because, if you always do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always got, and to think otherwise is insanity. Not my kind of insanity . . . but insanity, nonetheless.
I believe, once again, that a new mythology is being birthed as we speak. That no longer will an individual have to depend on yesterday in order to manifest tomorrow. Instead, people will be able to be in the present moment and allow the tomorrows to manifest naturally. If there are Laws which every Life Form has to obey, then the Spa Planet: Earth has got to take the reins of its existence because what happened to Mars could very well happen to this beauty if we aren't careful. Consciousness is not a result of the mind, but the mind is a result of consciousness; therefore, the Universe is listening, watching even, and if we can destroy and start over so can it. We are about to enter in a 13,000 year cycle of light and enlightenment. That is the new world, that is the thing which frighten those holding on to the old mythologies. Black Bag Operatives are now on the ground and the battle for control of this planet will not be pretty because . . . well it will not be pretty that's all. With our being in the physical positioning of light, someone of light has to present options of existence on the table. Is there anyone one better than the true creative minds, the novelists, the storytellers, these black ops maybe, to present the options. We know from multiple histories of this planet (I'm not too certain about Mars') that the ones who tell the stories rule the planet. This means that the fight will not be over minerals, paper, or land, but over the ones who can motivate the populous to get off their ass and strive for the minerals, paper, and land, or a higher spirituality and divinity. This is why I know that whatever mythologies come out on top will determine what direction we head in. And I bet cha, the mythologies of tomorrow will not be like those of yesterday, because the Slave Race will be freed, the Hosts of the Spa Planet: Earth will be trained by a consciousness outside of their own (the Great Mystery/Prime Creator,) and every one else will enjoy being here fulfilling their assumed purpose and intent. Mythologist will and have played an important role in the development of civilization, once again- thanks Plato. Always have and always will, tuck that away some place safe. It isn't the job of the mythologist that has changed but the subject matter, as well as the level of vibration of existence, not to mention that the races other than the gods and their puppet workers are starting to stir- they just don't know what to do or where to go yet and mythologist will show them. Again, always do what you've always done… that. So, like the "New Age" thinking has instructed, stay in the now, mythologist; because the shift in position of the Sun will shift the thinking of the people, as it has always done, and can't no one manipulate or entice the Sun by means of Bullshit. This is a tricky thing, being a mythologist during the dawn of the new age, the new time. But stand your ground because it gets easier. I promise. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew There is an unwritten agreement between the mythologist and the reader/listener. We, the mythologist, will give understanding of humanity to the reader. This is different than explaining a concept. There is a degree of control the writer must have that the mythologist doesn't. During this time in history, having someone capable of explaining what's unfolding as well as what the upcoming stage of the unfolding should look like, is of the greatest importance to all who claim to be part of the global evolution, which can be labelled another age of enlightening, taking place now.
The bottom line about our position is we must be able to entertain a four year old as well as educate a forty-four year old. Mythology is gospel and we are the scribes who are receiving information for 2020 and beyond. This is an important step in the understanding of humanity- the species with 'amnesia." One which many humans have overlooked. Even the most spiritually attuned individual has not prophesized the coming of new myths. But we know better, right? I for one do not take this once in a lifetime, an era even, for granted. I used to wonder why it was taking me so long to complete Hour of Change. With the exception of discovering who was really rooting for me, I could see no advantage to holding a mythologist back. Living information . . . who wants to block that? We mythologist are the ones with the keys to the vibrational locks, for Christ sake. It's in our DNA and the recycling of information, dead information, will fall by the wayside until the collective has become drunk off our stories. From rewriting/rewiring the beginning to answering/executing possibilities, the new myths will do it all. I just hope that I'm able to live long enough to see the manifestation of the alterations, which will come, since our mythologies will therefore give the motivation to the next generations of Souls, Minds, and Bodies. But, of course, I believe that the living being is immortal whether by creation or co-creation. A living being which lives off raw information and processed wisdom will be first in line- if the mythology is right . . . nah, it'll be right. Here's to open hearts and dedicated minds of mythologist of today and tomorrow! Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew One of the first thing I had to learn is there is the written storytelling voice and the oral one. Being that during the pinnacle of my storytelling apprenticeship I was telling oral stories almost daily, it took me a while to even realize that there was a difference between the two. If you're just starting out as an author of novels then you, too, may not even know that there is a difference. They're two different voices, for the most part, according to the greater teachers, of the novelist's platform.
Studying mythology, you may discover that the ancient stories were written in the oral voice, you know songs and metaphors, as a matter of fact those are the ones which have withstood the test of time. We're modern mythologists and that means that we have a new standard to live by . . . a new style. The written wine in oral skins. And whereas the written word is really a cold and stiff language, it can become like warm putty in the right hands. The first thing; learn your own oral voice. Knowing how you roll words off your tongue. This is going to give you the confidence you'll need to stand up as one of the first in this field of modern mythology novels. If you know your oral voice you will be wise enough to create your own style without even trying to. You want it so that by the time the reader is 50 pages in, they know that it is you who is talking. The second thing; learn to capture your story. The actual task of writing a full length mythological novel will require you to sit back and let the story come to you. This is not something you can fully plan like you can with traditional novels nor pants it like some novelist. You have to let the voice of the collective story come to you then speak itself (verbally/orally) on paper. Afterwards you can translate the oral story into a written one. It's a messy process but modern mythologists are more akin to clay and marble artists. The third thing; learn to divine your written words. Divinity is claimed by everyone, today. I'm not saying that we aren't all carrying the divine spark; but we aren't all the gods and goddess that we claim ourselves to be. That is where modern mythology comes in; it teaches gods to be gods and goddesses to be goddesses. As a modern mythologist, one has to step out of the obscurity of everything; including the field of written storytelling. One has to let their immortality lead and influence their mortality. It's a long process, tedious process. But trust me, it'll come. The light of the lighthouse assigned to you will eventually shine bright enough to aid boaters in this stream of life. These three things can and will enable you to not only write that verbal mythological novel your soul is calling out to be manifested, but your own individual, signature, tones, sounds, and style, will give you an abundance of "stories" to tell. It gets easier with time. You get stronger with time. Thereby, you will be able to witness the unfolding of the divine Power which you were born to shine onto the collective. Creativity. That's how we give information. Every voice of creativity burst beyond the limits of writing. Embrace your verbally written mythology. Then share it. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew I got to thinking about how these ideas, beliefs, truths, of mythology have spread wide and far. Wider and farther than the pollen carried on the lips of bees. I mean we can say it started with the Sumerians, but truth be told, it was pretty much everywhere. With that, let's say for those who feel mythology is nothing but old wives' tales and stories to scare wee ones, we pretend that there was no god, no gods, and no aliens, but plain old Earthlings living and doing plain old Earthling stuff when it comes to storytelling. Now the question becomes just how did mythology get its mobility?
Industrious, that's what Earthlings are. I do not and would not put it pass the reasoning of necessity of understanding for the stories that would eventually stick in the collective psyche to be born. Saying and agreeing with that, we must go further. Either we are all connected and therefore pulled on the same key ingredients of necessity or one group was somehow more ingenious than all the rest of us and came up with motifs which would answer everyone's primitive and far reaching questions for understanding of this creation of matter called life. We know the answer; there is a collective truth which must be expressed for the creation to move forth, hence the mobility of mythology- then and now. It is my belief that new stories (new mythologies) are about to be born and with them a shift in experience and wisdom. But the effectiveness of these new stories will be gaged by how well the embedded information translate and how portable the desire to manifest will be. Mobility of mythology is a tricky thing. One must be able to speak to the Spirit of the listener and have enough self-confidence that she knows the seeds which she is dropping will bloom one day into wild adventures and deep longings. So what are some of the things today's mythologist can do? One, release all connections to the current mythologies. I mean not even in storytelling can one really effectively put new wine in old skins. Two, release the high speed life of society. It will take a lot of solitude and vulnerability to hear the future and we can only hear the future while living in the present by giving up the past. Three, release the mob or pack mentality. You cannot provide the vision for tomorrow by trying to be loved, looked up to, and embraced by the masses today. It may sound strange, depending on isolation and innovation to create mobile stories of motivation; but that is the only way we can receive clean stories without duplication. Individuality is the key to mobility. Individuality is the new (or improved) tool of today's mythologist. And remember, if you are immortal, you will get to see, maybe live, the stories you share, one day but not . . .anyway, hold on to the truth that mobility, even with the speed of the internet, is a slow moving, slow learning fix. Without the gods to assist. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew The idea that writing a story is simple and the author only need to take pauses here and there for fresh eyes is a fictitious telling in and of itself. The entire process is an emotional development of the author. Especially if one wish to develop the emotions of the readers. Unlike other writings which, for the most part, requires light effort for writers born with the gift of storytelling, mythological creations demand heavy bench pressing.
First, you have to decide on writing about something you know. Then have at it; which means opening up your soul and receiving a story about the topic which you've selected. As much as you may know about this topic, your first draft will be primeval soup. Some of it will have mass (meat to keep) and the rest will be liquid (soup to toss) but know that without the first draft there is nothing to eat; so, get your ears tune to the pitch of the Universe. Second, you have to see how your first draft can fit into the formula that has been agreed upon by the collective 'we' of readers. It doesn't matter that your delivered idea is original and has the philosophy to support it; what is key is that bread looks like bread that can be served on a plate and water looks like water that can be served in a cup. Third, you have to recompose your first draft into a final product. This part takes many tries and will change the texture and taste of your offering to the reading gods. But keep the first two steps close, constantly read and re-read your mythology until you know the story; now start rethinking what mythology means to you. Fourth, you have a final product which adhere to industry requirements at this point, so let's add in two things, the requirements of mythology and the requirements of compassion. Your writing is the food and/or the elixir for the community. Considering that you've experienced this journey that you're sharing, the sharing should come easy. It is your communal passion after all. Just as it feeds your soul, it should feed the collective soul. Your mythology should motivate or prompt others to get out and obtain what you gained. Finally, have faith that this new mythology will answer the pleas of the community. Then, be prepared to take that first step over and continue the process until you feel you can no longer stand and be a channel for the voice of Spirit, the voice of the Universe. Remember, mythologist spider, your job is to spin webs and change the flies caught on your web into independent spiders out there spinning webs with you. We are all one and that means that we are all spider-storytellers; capable of overcoming the largest of obstacles and calming the wildest of beasts. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew I have undergone a transformation which affect my writing in oh so many ways; therefore, I will not even begin to explain where I've been or what I've been doing. Just know that Hour of Change is still on the burner and this 94,000 word story is being honored as only someone who has walked in Mow Yen's shoes can.
It is said that a writer is constantly mining the soul, their soul, for what is unknown, for what hasn't been felt, and for understanding their core beliefs. This is something that I now embrace and share. Not the mining for feelings or capturing the unknown but for understanding of core beliefs. I have never thought to myself how I was mining for my core beliefs through my writing. Even with Hour of Change, where I'm pouring my heartbreak onto the world, I never thought I was sharing CORE BELIEFS. I never knew I had it in me to leave a relationship which has spread across my many incarnations. I never thought that I would feel the confusion, fear, and anticipation of starting new with a different god or gods; or the deep need to grieve the illusion of perfection which I held for Yahweh. Thereby, letting another god or gods in the private quarters of my heart. I never would have guess that my core beliefs would be changing this incarnation. But all that is going on and more. All because, as the bible says, your mouth provides for your belly. I have decided to quit Yahweh. Now, I don't know what that means for my religious life (which wasn't there to begin with) but for my spirit it means freedom. At least that is my core belief. Yahweh is for the youngsters who need hands on guidance. I am no youngster. Being that I'm sober, I am not about to sit up here and bash and spit upon the people who still give their ultimate devotion and obedience to Yahweh. Again, I just left the fold; keeping the love I was taught and disposing of the rest. I will not go into lack, because I feel they lack nothing, and all of their needs are met. I will say that as much as they claim to be the more powerful religious organization of followers on the Earth currently, they walk in fear. Now if you ask or point this truth out, you'll receive opposition. But these are the people who claim to forgive but not forget. How? These are the people who claim they need no "outside" books to support theirs. They can't deal with the questioning of their beliefs and often threaten with the promise of Hell. As the saying goes, one needs originality, but it must be backed, if not matched, by philosophy and comparison critical thinking. I could go on, but I will give one last point to ponder. There is a mistrusting of anyone who is outside their community. There is a hole where diversity belong within their organization whose collective has splintered into more denominations than any other main group of religious devotees. They are sheep and the shepherds have place the fear of Yahweh in them. I wasn't a follower of Yahweh by any means of actions other than proclamation and explanation of my behaviors and Biblical understandings. Nor was I a follower of Yahweh's actions and treatment of people. He, Yahweh, is a hard god for a hardheaded people and I'm not hardheaded. I was already torn by my inner drive for wisdom beyond my soul. The closer I got to my truest desire the further I got from Yahweh. I was questioning Yahweh, daring him and no commander likes that- least of all Yahweh. Therefore, I am going to let Yahweh go. I now allow Yahweh to go his way and I go mine. No hidden agenda. I honor Yahweh's power, strength, and even the devotion shown toward his people. There is nothing but love and relief in my heart. Part of me, deep down, wishes that there was something that Yahweh could still teach me; but the Greatest God got this, and my next teacher will appear. I had so much fear, so much anger, and so many restrictions to overcome. I can't speak for other followers, but Yahweh seems to be the type of relay runner who has come to the end of their stretch and refuse to pass the baton. I think that the inspired threats of men, has nothing to do with saving souls and more with binding people's mind and soul to Yahweh. Maybe Jesus wasn't celebrating Yahweh? I've still to conclude on that thesis. During the process of writing Hour of Change, I saw the characterize image, the one I made of him. I realized that I had not been given the chance to become who I was born to be, because of some inspired teachings of desert men and women which said that Yahweh way was the only way. I realized that if I was at war, fighting for my spiritual survival, then yes, Yahweh's way is the only way. Listen to me, I was that individual fighting my own guilt and consequences; Yahweh's was my savior as I ran from the truth of who and what I am. Yahweh is the one who will direct without considering the inner development of the one he's directing. Once I become still, I was able to see that it was Yahweh who had kept me running because all gods need someone to share their understanding with. I'm not trying to take that from Yahweh, what I am doing is stepping deeper into the light of the Greatest God. Once I am placed under another god, I will serve that god the way I served the god of war. I am no warrior-soldier anymore. I am a full blood soldier for peace fore I have been honorably discharged. Best of luck to Yahweh and the shepherds under him. Fore, your sheep are frighten and running off cliffs; mindless and lacking free will. And, best of luck to me. Core beliefs are a motherfucker! Daily, I'm polishing almost three complete chapters of my almost there 30 chapter manuscript. I'm constantly streamlining and re-visioning, even creating Author's Notes, 30 pages at a time, so I'll be ready for launch on the 31st of this month. This isn't the first time I've tried to capture and clearly communicate what's on my mind in a tome of collective words. This is, however, the first time that I'm patient, honest, open, humble, and reading my story out loud repetitively.
You've gotta love a story to read it over and over. Especially, if it's lacking as a written piece of art. Which got me to thinking; for those who are top-heavy creatives and you're willing and able to set quotas, goals, or call them steps (and fulfill them in a healthy manner) wouldn't the goal of sharing your work get accomplished in a quicker, feed the machine, type of way if you humble yourself? If you re-read your work, not after being away from it for a period of time, but after you've found the bliss of it; wouldn't your passion and love for it become discerned and detached? If you seriously took the advice that touched your soul and daily applied it to your work, wouldn't you be in a position to attract those Beta Readers who knows your work and you? Yeah, you'd become a better author. A prolific author. My feeling, sniff sniff, is authors get a bad wrap. Not every name on a published book is an author. We authors communicate a message while conveying an idea. Storytellers do that- tell stories thing. Authors are the elite craftsmen of this field of word slaying in the crystallized form. They communicate clearly and motivate with a good message wrapped up in one. This means the suck-it-up-Buttercup attitude that many authors have is often misunderstood. I believe that you become an author when you gain the author's ability to release and release and release; to feed the machine, again. Knowing that you are an author and not a storyteller will give you the compassion needed to get up everyday and count (therefore) slay the words. Knowing you are an author and not a storyteller will allow you to be fed by what you produce even if it doesn't see the light of professional bookstore day. Lastly, knowing you are an author and not a storyteller will put a pen in your hand & fingers on the keyboard, an ear for rhythm which comes from trial and error, and the humility to slowly walk down and gather readers who will follow you instead of a few book titles. Yeah, I'm an author, who knows many storytellers. That is what keep the publication world going round. A world I just love. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle |
