Mythos & Logos - World Mythology and Religions
США
Добавлен 20 окт 2017
My name is Seán. Welcome to Mythos & Logos.
Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”
I am not a Guru, Shaman, Preacher, Therapist, or Scholar. I am a former History Teacher and Lay Minister, but make no claim to any type of authority, academic or religious.
This channel is a collection of thoughts of one person on the important stories that we humans have shared with each other. I believe that, in respectfully approaching storytelling traditions, we can find timeless wisdom and beauty that apply to modern life. I do my best to find and share that wisdom. I encourage you to share your thoughts and stories as well.
The stories presented here have all been freely shared by their original tellers. I encourage you to study each story directly and consult traditional sources whenever possible.
I credit all wisdom to the stories and all errors to myself.
“Emancipate yourself from mental slavery; none but ourselves can free our minds.”

The Philosopher Poet & the Mythic Peng Bird: Expressing the Unknown in Zhuangzi (Taoist Philosophy)
Просмотров 83910 месяцев назад
A philosopher has the unique challenge of expressing that which is beyond us through the limitations of language. For many, this is done through a series of logical arguments; for the Taoist philosopher Zhuangzi 莊子 the Way of Nature, called Tao 道 is best approached in another way, through the powerful, poetic language of metaphor. Zhuangzi sets the tone through the marvelous image of the mythol...
Fall of Phaeton & the Chariot of the Sun: Harnessing the Powers of the Gods (Greek Mythology)
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.Год назад
In the ancient days of Greek and Roman mythology, the story was told of Phaeton, the son of the sun god Helios (often equivocated with Apollo) who asked his father to command the chariot of the sun on its journey across the sky. The power of the god was too much for this mortal, and his bold attempt to wield it nearly destroyed all of creation. Today we wield many of the same powers once attrib...

The Tuatha Dé Danaan were NOT gods. The Tuatha are the PEOPLE of the God (Dé) called Danu which in the genitive case (an Tuiseal Ginideach) is Danaan.
No fighting in low places. For it favors the snakes.

This is an excellent explanation of Brigid. Thank you.

And the DINE talk about Coyote not "native americans" none of us are "native americans" we are the Dine, Anishinaabe, Lakota, Etc man.
Its very disrespectful for white people to talk about this and label it "mythogy". This is history, knowledge, information.
I would recommend reading the description of the video; “mythology” does not use “myth” in the modern sense of a “lie” but in the classical sense meaning “symbolic story.” This project uses the same word to talk about symbolic stories from across cultural traditions, mine included. And regarding your second comment, if you watch the video each story does tell the specific nation that it is from, and even the specific person when possible. I always make sure to only share stories that have been freely shared before. I appreciate your concerns; please know that I have absolutely taken those into consideration in the making of this project.
Love this video, thank you!🤗
Thank you for your kind comment!
Scared religiouus. Raised that " if you are bad, you will be punished eternal" can't seld delete, you will become a tree that feels pain. If you were born before jesus, you can't go to heaven. No baptism. I think you choose right because it feels right and resisting wrong because you feel it's wrong. I don't know for sure, but i try not to hurt, cheat, lie, or wish ill upon anyone. I serve God. I try to be a humble servant. If i sin, i ask forgiveness.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Yes, in the end living the best life you can is the most important thing.
It’s so nice to see a mythology video that isn’t AI generated. Love it!
Loved this thank you ❤️
❤Thank you❤
Your channel is mystical yet also historical Thank you for all the research!!🙏❤️
Again
thank you great spirit✨❤️✨
Many thanks for your great video. Well, you nailed it, an excellent balance between inclusive Christianity and gentle Paganism. As an Irish Catholic I see huge opportunity for all spiritual people who explore and promote Christopaganism with this gentle spirit.
Thank you for sharing. With that said, my innerstanding is that the stories/teachings were reversed as part of a malevolent deception. The winged Serpent was actually a protector of Humanity and it was the Thunderbird that caused the great flood. In ancient Sumarian cuniforms text it says that Enlil (depicted by some cultures as a thunderbird) wanted to destroy humanity and Enki (depicted by some cultures as a serpent) was the protector, warning humanity of Enlil's intention to flood the earth.
Mahsi cho (ty in dene) for your content Shawn, I really appreciate your narratives! You tell stories good! Please refrain from calling the sacred ceremonies, "rituals,". I am Dene from Northern Alberta and there are over 50 dialects of Dene so there are more languages than recorded. The ceremonies vary from each nation. We all have our own stories <3 that i believe are all similar too. I love the strength of all Indigenous people coming together reclaiming our ways once forbidden less than 50 years ago
You are very welcome, and thank you for sharing your perspective!
Thank you for sharing ☺️
You are very welcome! Best wishes!
🐦 🔥 ❤
Im on a vision quest right now looking for the beast I'm seeking the inner power started this week will do it for a month
Very elegantly done.
Thank you kindly!
This channel is absolutely killer dude
That really is great to hear, thank you!
Jacob became Israel by wrestling with "God"
It really is such an interesting parallel!
True Men of God seek the message from God to preach and the anointing from the Holy GHOST to know the Creator and His Son.
I'm Native
The gods kinda seem like a buncha goofs

Welcome!
Thank you.
You are welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed.
Beautiful, you did a great job of honoring both. Loved it.
That’s exactly what I aim for, thank you!
How do I fast and is it ok to drink water
A very good question! Different traditions have different practices (some have a dry fast during certain hours of the day, others will abstain from only certain foods, etc.) I would definitely recommend consulting a trusted elder or spiritual leader to learn a bit more about your particular tradition of choice :)
Love it! And thanks for the plug! ❤
Any time! I have really been enjoying your work and love to share the benefit.
Why not both? St. Michael is a member of the Angelic Host along with Gabriel and Raphael. There is most likely a human woman, but should we think it impossible another member of the Choir's remained faithful and is remembered by name?
1st- timer here. This was the deepest, most beautiful meditation I've had in a while listening to you give this. Thankyou!!
Wow, that really means a lot to hear. Thank you!
The Holy Grail is the Chalice of princess Urraca. It´s in the museum of S. Isidoro de Leon Basilique.
Beautiful work.
Thank you kindly!
I understand this but I wonder what is your story in all of this b/c you have one. What is mythology Mr Mythos if we can't influence it?
That’s a very great question! I live on land on which the Wichita historically roamed, so I do think that it’s important for me to pay respects to those who were here before; helping keep the voices alive for future generations to hear. It’s a small part, but one I like to play :)
Merry Christmas my friend.all good blessings to you and your family 🙏🦅☝️
Merry Christmas and the same to you and yours!
Thank you for this. Thoroughly enjoyed. From an Irish woman 😊😊
You are very welcome, and thank you!
Super beautiful!
Thank you so very much!
Thank you Matt Benjamin. I talked to you one night. Thank you thank you
He’s a great guy!
I loved how calming your video and the way you talk are. I'm Japanese and born in Shinto family. One of my relatives actually owns a shrine. I love forest bathing too. It was interesting how you relate Shinto and forest bathing. I too feel Shinto is to feel, not too practice.
Wow, what a personal connection! That’s wonderful and I thank you for sharing. I’m glad that this resonates well with you ⛩️
I have been siting at the feet of prophet ❤ your words have healed me in so many ways thank you for putting this out into the universe where I was ready to receive it ❤
You are very kind. I’m no prophet, just a sinner like the rest of us, but I think I’m good at recognizing wisdom, and I’m so, so glad that this helped to heal you ♥️
Amazing. I was glued to the screen.
Wow, I appreciate that! Thanks!
Amazing wisdom
I’m glad that I could help pass it down!
Learn the proper pronunciation for the names.
Я изучал русский язык в университете. Я плохо говорю по-русски, но я знаю что это «БАба яГА.» )
What amazing story telling skills you have.
Thank you very kindly :)
How wonderfully you tell our stories.
You are very kind, thank you and I’m glad you enjoy them.
My first time here.. Thank you for the excellent indepth info.! 🤍🏴 I've been searching out early Christianity in the British Isles, trying to find my Christian roots. I grew up in Somerset, England - Avalon.. and took part in many of the ancient Christian Pagan festivals and ceremonies of the countryside, but never understood them. Thanks again.. I look forward to learning much more! 🕊️
Welcome! There is so much great history in that part of the world, I wish you all the best as you explore it :)
@@mythosandlogos Thank you 🤍
Thank you. It's my birthday and I woke up angry. Your work helped me heal today.
Happy birthday! And thank you ♥️
