This is not a boring book, believe me. Plus, one chapter takes like what, a minute? As of now, this is a collection of myths, legends, and folklore about the pantheon from the ancient Tagalogs. From Bathala to Sitan and most deities I can find in between. Unlike some popular myths, *ahem ahem Greek ahem* they have a collection of these myths that are easily accessible (I'm looking at the Theogony). The Philippines is, well, absolutely the opposite. There are a lot of different and sometimes contradicting versions of one lore. Confusing isn't it? Don't blame me if you know a different version. Anyways, I really don't recommend this for thesis or other serious researches, as I am an unreliable source of information. This is for entertainment purposes only. (Maybe a bit of information but don't blame me if it's wrong)

❝ Philippine mythology is quite interesting, but besides the usual aswangs and tikbalangs, not a lot of it is known. If you've picked this up with the knowledge of only those creatures, then you'd be surprise at how much we've barely scratched the surface. ❞ ⎯ an informal, but informative take on ph mythology • the tales are rewritten but with the original events unaltered from its sources to the best of the author's abilities. book cover by adlao

Norse mythology refers to the Scandinavian mythological framework that was upheld during and around the time of the Viking Age (c. 790- c. 1100 CE). Complete with a creation myth that has the first gods slaying a giant and turning his body parts into the world, various realms spread out beneath the World Tree Yggdrasil, and the eventual destruction of the known world in the Ragnarök, the Nordic mythological world is both complex and comprehensive. Its polytheistic pantheon, headed by the one-eyed Odin, contains a great number of different gods and goddesses who were venerated in customs integrated into the ancient Scandinavians' daily lives.

Philippine mythology is the body of myths, tales, and superstitions held by Filipinos, mostly originating from beliefs held during the pre-Hispanic era. Some of these beliefs stem from pre-Christian religion that was specially influenced by the Hinduism and were regarded by the Spanish as "myth" and "superstition" in an effort to de-legitimize precolonial faith by replacing those native beliefs with colonial Catholic Christian myths and superstitions. Today, some of these precolonial beliefs are still held by Filipinos, especially in the provinces. Filipino myth is incorporated from various sources, having similarities with Indonesian and Malay myths, as well as Christian traditions, such as the notion of Heaven (kaluwalhatian, kalangitan, kamurawayan), Hell (impiyerno, kasamaan), and the human soul (kaluluwa). Filipino mythology attempts to explain the nature of the world through the lives and actions of gods, goddesses, heroes, and mythological creatures. A majority of these myths were passed on through oral tradition. - This Book contains : - the creation myth - list of deities - list of creatures - the story of Lapu-Lapu - 2018 -Completed-

Japanese mythology includes a vast number of gods, goddesses, and spirits. Most of the stories concern the creation of the world, the foundation of the islands of Japan, and the activities of deities, humans, animals, spirits, and magical creatures. Some myths describe characters and events associated with particular places in Japan. Others are set in legendary locations, such as the heavens or the underworld. The mythology of Japan has a long history dating back more than 2,000 years. It became part of two major religious traditions: Shinto, an indigenous religion, and Buddhism, which developed in India and came to Japan from China and Korea. 2021
