The more I dig into this mythology genre or niche (depends on who you ask) the more I’m seeing it is truly a lost art. There are many components that go into writing a powerful myth and when you add the guidelines of written storytelling it becomes more difficult. But, I have faith in our skills- even as they are developing. See history has proven that every age or so a group of powerful thinkers, artists, and leaders come into their own and change the social momentum.
Myth and the makers are part of this crew even before long written stories were the thing. Myths are for a violent world and the people who occupy it. To be able to dive deeply into the psychology of humanity then share the findings with society and not get lost in the mental waters takes a special kind of mind and personality. See the goal of myth has always been to explain that there is some good in this world, what that goodness looks like, and how to be that good. Myths motivated before fantasy/fiction knew the power of the written word. Now it is practiced by only a handful, like blacksmithing. Yet, we can’t give up. We have to support the practitioners of this rare art, especially when it is done correctly. Body, mind, soul, the myth-making mythologists are there to back you up. I just thought I would remind the universe that at least one mythologist is still kicking and to send the call out for the others who have become winded. Thanks for Listening! Oh, btw, I have a Patron Account/Page now! You can find me under my name Sabrina Louise Andielle. Hopefully, I’ll see you there soon. Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew

Myth gives context to experience, sometimes directions on how to live or what to do. The best thing is that these directions are not enforced orders. The Bible was grafted from pagan and druid myths relating characters to planets and stars. Such a shame the Romans made it into a military expedition.
