So, I think the biggest problem I have when trying to think about mythology is that I conceptualize the mythological figures as people who have a consciousness that works similar to mine. This cannot be true, however, because by thier nature they are symbolic representations of basic human drives. They are not people, even the ones that are presented as people are representaions of people...

Thanks for what you said in the Christianity Crappy? thread. I especially related to the "where is the female" aspect. That's what drew me to Paganism and Wicca. There is a neat Pagan Peeps group that you might want to check out.

We are always creating our own mythologies... Blessed be! smile

Hmmm....I think the fact that I wrote that I'm interesting automatically brings me down a few points. Damn. I guess that's what I get for being all stressed. I have to be hiding the fact that I'm writing in this journal from my boyfriend cause I spent far too long on the site last night and didn't do any work and now I'm all behind....

5 am. Still working. commenting to my own journal cause I'm still in the same train of thought and don't feel it warrants a new entry. It's my journal after all, why can't I comment to myslef. This is all just to get my words out of my head and somewhere where they can interact with the world. I figure I'm a new enough member here that no one is relly reading my journal anyway, and I really need to think about something other than buddhism for a few minutes. Maybe I should switch papers. Hmm...an idea. I will have to consider that. I don't want to lose my focus, but I don't want to be reaching either. I suppose it would be more productive in the long run than cleaning my room....

I emailed my parents this morning. My mom alreay got back to me that she was happy to hear from me. I'm still holding out hopes that maybe this summer we'll learn to get along....

Hello. This is my journal on this wonderful site. Hopefully I will be able to get a pic into my profile soon. I should be working on my finals right now, but since the school year is essentially over, I figured I should start letting my mind relax. It has been a whiel since I've kept any sort of journal, so it may take me...
