I’m willing to bet there is a term out there that describes someone being addicted to mythology and folk tales. I know it would certainly apply to me. Anyone out there want to tell me what I’m afflicted with, if you know the word for it? Here is the latest trough from which I am gorging myself on mythological trivia and essays.
Folklore and Mythology Electronic Texts
I’ll probably make this a permanent link resource on the site, as it’s hardly something you can exhaust in a single browse. It’s got everything. Start alphabetically and work your way down, or skip around to the random link and see what you get from the grab bag.
For instance, there’s Singing Bones. Folktales about murder victims, whose body parts literally sing out for justice.
And check out this beautiful rune stone artwork from one of the image collections.
I find mythology an endless source of inspiration, aside from the fact that it can be fun just to browse through the endlessly unique and strange stories the world’s cultures have birthed. We’ve been telling stories for as long as we’ve known how to wag our tongues. I hope we aren’t stopping any time soon.
I see that smile.
