DESCRIPTION: Everyone loves a good bouquet of flowers, especially the pretty ones with vibrant colors and unique designs, but not every flower is loved by everyone; some are seen as a nuisance that holds too many thorns and heavy meanings and are never loved or appreciated for what they are. That's what Maria was, a nuisance, an unwanted or appreciated flower, that held too many thorns to be loved by her students or herself. But despite how lonely it might sound, she loved it because it was easier to keep it that way, to keep disappointment away, to keep hope away, and to keep her regrets away. But as the story goes, you can't stop nature from finding its way to bloom, just as you can't stop shame from finding its way to blossom. SYNOPSIS: Did you know that each flower has its own specific meaning? Like sunflowers! Sunflowers are looked at as cozy, joyful, and especially edible little things that provide people warmth and comfort, as with our sun. In cultures such as Greek mythology, it symbolizes unrequited love! While in Native America it's revered as a physical manifestation of harvest. Wow! How crazy is that? Totally different meanings depending on the context and culture of what the author wants to portray! *Sigh*, writing is such a wide and creative practice. Speaking of writing...

Korean mythology consists of national legends and folk-tales which come from all over the Korean Peninsula. The origin may be a blend of Korean shamanism, Buddhist, Chinese myths, Confucian and Taoist legends and myths. The legends may also vary greatly by region, even within the country. For example, the people of Jejudo have a very different lifestyle from that of the mainland and so can generate different forms of the same myths. In Korean shamanism, animism was dominant as the prime source for religious life for the Korean people. Particular worship of mountains, animals, plants stem from the belief that they had souls and often show up in the folktales as well as talk about tributes and sacrifices, whether literal, or figurative. At the same time, there were gods that occupied certain domains and they would often show up in folktales as distant protectors that called on humans when asked to rather than interfering with every day life. Early in Korean history, the shamanistic religion was dominant and because early Korea was divided often into smaller domains, such as Silla and Goguryeo, Baekje, the folktales and myths tended to differ also by those regions. With the arrival of Buddhism in the 3-4th century, the myths and native religion began to change as did the myths. With the advent of Neo Confucianism, the native religion was suppressed by the government where shamans were often killed for practicing and so many of the legends either changed or were blended into existing legends. - This Book contains: - Creation myth - List of Deities and Famous Figures - Explanation about korean shamanism. - The Flood Myth - Collections of stories, myths and legends - 2018 -Completed-

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-
