Mythology Should Be Fun!

With all of the stress about mythology presentations, I think people just forgot that mythology can be such a fun subject. There are so many fascinating things about the cultures around us, as well as those cultures of the past. It's amazing to find the similarities and differences between different groups of people.

I have to say that I was at first a little upset to present Myths of Sacred Places, but the material was so much more interesting and applicable than I previously realized. We all, whether religious or not, hold different places sacred. It can be your home, the beach, a public area, a private space. Anywhere! This unit made me so much more interested in connecting with people via the places that they hold sacred. You can really learn so much about an individual that way.

It made me think of all the places that I hold sacred myself. There's the obvious religious places like the LDS Temples that take a strong hold in my heart. But then there are the more subtle places...like birth areas in the hospital and libraries. I hold both of these places sacred as well.
