Mythology Definition Numero Uno
Scott Michael Potter 1966 (Grand Rapids, MI)
Myths, as living stories,
free us from our surround
while fastening us to it—
depending partially upon the environment
and interpretation or translation—
usually center on deities or spirits—
responsible for creation or the creation of mystery,
tensions and change in our world,
including natural and so-called unnatural phenomenon,
and as such wield a sacred influence,
an element of mystery
and some ineffable power
to inform our actions—
share similar building blocks, incorporating archetypes;
all of which affects our psyche;
touching the unreachable and
untouchable part of us—
the entire Self—
that compels us to react
emotionally,
psychologically,
physiologically,
spiritually and
intellectually.
