Mythology and Paganism

I am an ex-Christian introduced to the world of Paganism after a ten year study of the Bible and mythology. I have a deep interest in world mythologies and comparative mythology, and the mythological symbolism of ‘dying (and rising) gods.’


New Religious Directions

  1. Creating the Cosmos for the very first time
  2. Weird Dreams and New Directions
  3. My Wasteland of a Reality
  4. Religion After Christianity?
  5. My Meditative Journey So Far

Cosmic Mysteries of Re-Creation

I am also fascinated with the so-called dying and rising god, or as Wikipedia terms it, a Life-death-rebirth deity, also referred to as a Pagan Godman, or Pagan Christ. I usually use the term Mythological Victim, because often he is not presented as a god, on occasion is actually female, doesn’t always rise from the dead, and is Pre-Christian.

World Myths

I find writing my own version of a particular myth helps me to become more familar with the theme.
