Myths are enjoyed as entertainment.
卍 Myths 卐
🟢
Myths are a collection of folk-takes, & are a form of education, & entertainment within fiction.
Myth is a word of Greek origin mythos meaning fiction.
-Ology comes from -logia, meaning study.

Myths are not considered to be real historic accounts, they are used to entertain, & educate.
As such, myths have their place in Wodenism, & that place is within the realm of culture.
Likewise modern myths of popular culture have their place too.
Indeed J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth stories are popular modern English myths.
Likewise, Star Wars tells a series of popular modern myths.
Indeed Marvel Comics have an entire comic book series based on Germanic myths in their Thor comics.
🟢
Today myths are explored, & enjoyed recreationally in books, films, music, comics, video-games, & table-top games.

Sadly many religious people actually do believe myths to be factual, which is embarrassing as this defies logic.
It is the inability of brain-washed, low-intelligence, gullible, fools to separate fact from fiction that has held the progression of mankind back for millennia.
Abrahamites are the worst religious types to fall into this category.
To anyone of average intelligence or above, it's clear that the Abrahamic holy books are myths, but their religious followers take them at face value, & have spent millennia arguing over who is right, & who is wrong in their interpretations.
Religious Jews believe that seas can be parted, & conversations with bushes are possible.
Religious Christians believe that 5000 people were fed on 2 loaves of bread, & 5 fish, & that Jesus came back from the dead.
Religious Muslims believe that Mohammed on the back of Buraq (a winged horse with a human head), flew to the moon, as well as to Jerusalem, & Mecca.
It is this lack of logic that leaves Abrahamites open to mockery.
🟢
Wodenists see the Germanic myths as just that: myths, stories, tales, & works of fiction.
This is why myths are not particularly important to Wodenists.
Our Wodenic faith differs greatly from their Abrahamic religion in this way.
