Sorry for hijacking your thread DG we'll take our leave catch you later.
Oh, well DG your stuck, 'cause Filo as you under her "angel wings"
Actually, Filouke has taken really good care of since I've been made a member of this forum. Which is quite a change from the other topic based forums, which I am a member of.
That's good but I asked you before but you didn't answer, what kind of mythological books do you read? I'm in to mythological stuff, so I pretty much read every book I can find about gods/godesses and myth....
I read allot of supernatural reference books, which are basically mythological reference books as they fall into the same category.
ow ow i need to find a cool supernatural avatar for this week! don't you have an idea?
Sorry, must have skipped over that your reply. The discussions on this forum are really fast pace when compared to the other forums, which I am a member off.I like to learn about the mythologies of different countries and not just the ones which are tied to the UK (where I currently reside). My interest in mythology started with Greek mythology, I found a book about Greek Mythology in my high school library. That was what intially sparked my interest in mythology to begin with. I read allot of supernatural reference books, which are basically mythological reference books as they fall into the same category.
Yeah, I like to learn about myhologies of different countries too. Right now I'm more into Roman, Slavic and Hawaiian mythology.
I live in Norway, so I learned about Norse mythology in 5th grade
But all I got were lessons in Christianity, which is OK. But my dad is basically a religious fanatic, he is a Protestant. I remember one time when I was watching the Da Vinci Code, he started lecturing how they had gotten it all wrong. That there was no way that Jesus had a wife. What a headache I had that day...
Excellent, it's good to meet somebody who shares one of my interests. But I do find that the Roman mythology is way too similar to Greek Mythology Yeah that's true, Roman and Greek has nearly the same gods/godesses and myth but with different names.And I've been studying in different countrys a year ago, so I it was easy to get history lessons about Slavic and Hawaiian mythology I know how you feel...my father was studying different religions when he was young, so everytime we see anything that has to do with Jewish, Christianity and Islam he has to comment them..."That is so wrong, who does this man think he is? go study and then come with true facts you old fool, before you say it's true" I have to listen to that on every documentary about religion...
Hello,I love mythology, religion's History etc
Hello,Did you read Mircea Eliade's History of religious ideia?
Hello,And the similarity we find in Roman/greek are, I'm sure you know (being Mythology fans) is called religious syncretism. For those who don't know: it's more an absorbtive cultural phenomenon between 2 religion/beliefs etc more often than not contradictoryThat's why although we have diferent name for the "same" deity, said deity have diferent characteristics according to the places they were worshiped.The strangeness of the roman/greek are that the conquerors adapted their religion& philosophy & not the other way around... but then again it's the second religion that have to adapt to the first as the people don't give up their belief just because some conqueror says so.That's why most christian hollydays are on the same date as pagans, to adapt and overcome the previous religions.

try it! Kuroshitsuji is about an akuma or demon that serves as a Butler to a young Earl in England. It's cool. Definitely a must read. Dengeki Daisy would make you laugh. But in the middle part of that manga, I don't know. I kind of lost in the explanation of what happened to some bits. Hahaha. But I guess, I'm just slow in comprehending it.
