    Where would you go?

    Ireland is my first choice (2013 here I come!) I could possibly stay there and never come back...seriously the fairies can take me away! Japan is my second choice. I think the antique shops alone with their shiny samurai swords and dinnerware would have me entranced for at least 2 days. Asian...

Here is a bit of Irish lore handed down from my family to help you see Faeries; My grandmother said if you tend...

    Siouxsie and pan's labyrinth

    I absolutely love that movie. I think Guillmerro del Toro is pure genius. There are so many stories that tie into mythology or stories even...off the top of my head I think of Led Zepplin's Stairway to Heaven(The Pied piper and the May queen) Breathe by Pink floyd has a verse about the rabbit...

    Deep sea diver found in forest

    I think, Chintai, that is the glamourus effect of the mind being able to tell such bizarre stories. People are memorized :-)

    What's your favorite symbol associated with mythology?

    I thought it meant blue...like blue blooded because they were so pale? Kind of like how William Wallace painted himself blue in battle. Where r u getting the red reference? I wonder if I'm completely mistaken.

Hermes is on the very top...identified by his staff, Poseidon to the left, the trident, Hephaestus ( I think) looks like hes holding a hammer and the workers are turning metal into molten metal, black smoke behind them, under Poseidon that looks like Athena? On the bottom there I can't...

    Favorite poetry

    William Blake and Edgar Allen Poe are my favorite. I can't help but read anything by Robert Frost, he is amazing, and I like Sylvia Plath. I can recite "Nothing Gold Can Stay" from memory. That poem totally burned into my mind after I read"The Outsiders"

    Caillech similarities

    The only other deity I have ever come across that was compared to her was Hekate. I agree somewhat. I can't think of anyone else at this moment.

    What's your favorite symbol associated with mythology?

    I have not seen her Encyclopedia, however, I have a HUGE symbol encyclopedia that has symbols and secret signs. Love it. I will look hers up online. I just recently started to get into Sanskrit, I had to look up the Aum symbol but recognized it right away. Awesome! I also love celtic knotwork...

    Movies and mythology

    I can't find that movie anywhere! I really hate that my local video store had to close, they had everything. I bet I can find it online tho. I like this comparison chart a lot. I especially like the "chasing a lone animal" part. I never compared Star Wars to The Matrix before. There is...

    Nordic elements found in lord of the rings

    This is a great question for Old World American. He is a Wagnerian expert and could probably pick out the similarities quicker than I can. I know Tolkien said that the only thing in common with the wagner opera "The Ring" is that the rings in both stories are round. I disagree slightly. I can...
