Posted: February 3, 2020 – Updated: April 23, 2020
Welcome to my Blog on The Female Divine!
On this page, you will be able to learn about the female divine by browsing through each tab/page of my blog. I’m no professor or genius in mythology however, the information I have provided throughout these pages will include: multiple credible sources, my personal point of view and analysis of specific topics, as well as, a project/powerpoint on studying the female divine. Just to give you beautiful readers an idea of each tab/page here’s some information: Home: Welcome! You’re Here! Thanks for being here you wonderful bookworm! Mythology: Here, you can explore the background and history of the female divine. I will be providing more information on the female divine and a powerpoint presentation on teaching the female divine. Specifically, its history throughout mythology and connecting it to the myth of Callisto and Arcas. Blog: In this tab, I will be posting updates on where I see the female divine in my everyday life and how it can be seen in the present through many aspects of pop culture; for example, through media, art, film, music, etc. and how they are connected to the female divine through my understandings and analysis. Scholarship: Lastly, this page will give you all more information on the sources I have used throughout this blog. I will be arranging these sources by creating an annotated bibliography. When looking at each tab/page that includes quotes, it will be in MLA formatting allowing you to look up sources by the last names of authors in the “Scholarship” tab. About the Author: This page will give you more information on who I am and what I do. If you want to learn a little bit more about me, head over to that tab and learn about your fellow blogger.
What is Mythology?
Mythology is said to be many things: it tells stories about how life, the world, and the universe came to be. It teaches morals and tells tales about gods, monsters, tricksters, etc. My favorite definition of a myth is in a book titled Myth & Knowing: An Introduction to World Mythology by Scott Leonard and Michael McClure; they write, “…myths are ancient narratives…they are living texts with which living people continue to write or narrate or perform their unique answers to basic human questions” (2). Myths are tales but they are also more then that. They teach lessons and show readers how to behave and what not to do. They are passed down from family members and friends and are taught in schools and homes to this day. Myths are important parts of literature!
The background image: The Cave of Eternity by Luca Giordano located in Palazzo Medici Riccardi, Florence – “In the cave of eternity, the Moirae are on the right, intent at their work. Clotho holds the distaff in her hand while Lachesis, at her side, measures the thread of human life, and Atropos, is about to cut it” (Impelluso 314).
I believe in mythology. I guess I share Joseph Campbell’s notion that a culture or society without mythology would die, and we’re close to that.
