Time, isolation and perpetual debunking by those who continue to hunt us have managed to whittle our existence into a figment of imagination, a part of your local folklore---stories so gnarled and distorted. No more than legends to scare your offspring into obedience or courageous attempts to explain the arcane. Shame, the place we take in the society today. We are now tales plummeting into obsolescence.

The African Folktale: Collection Of Tales [Completed]
Folk tales and myths serve as a means of handing down traditions and customs from one generation to the next in Africa. For several generations, stories from Africa have traditionally been passed down by word of mouth. Often, after a hard day's work, the adults would gather the children together by moonlight, around a village fire and tell stories. This is traditionally called Tales by Moonlight. Usually the stories are meant to prepare young people for life, and so taught a lesson or moral.Complete

When gods walk the earth, even shadows must remember their names. A small village stands at the edge of ruin, its people caught between mortal fear and divine silence.

In a world where myths still bleed into reality, balance itself may not be salvation - only the calm before another storm.

Philippine Mythology
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-Complete
