Resources for Studying Mythology and Religion
This page is intended primarily as a reference for students of world literature and culture. Mythology here refers to traditional stories that describe a god or gods, or the relation between people and gods. Religion , in this context, designates beliefs that are still widely practised. The terms do occasionally overlap, however, depending on the viewpoint of the person using them. On this page, there is no attempt to validate or question any belief system, past or present. Rather, by providing a variety of experiences, this page offers readers an opportunity to further understand their own beliefs and appreciate the beliefs of others.

Okay, just to set the record straight... when I decided to do a links page, my first thought was, well, there's like, Perseus, Bullfinch's, Gutenburg for originals... short list, right? And then I started looking. And looking. I filtered out most of the crap, and I still had a list longer than my arm, and about ten hours blocked-off to make this page. So yeah, it's about as well-organized as my sock drawer, but deal with it! We've got more important things to do for the moment, heh.

Adventure Articles
Louis Trichart, Thoyandou
a cultural adventure in a land of myths and legends
Article and photos by Lynette Oxley On the border between South Africa and Zimbabwe (Beitbridge), just south of the Limpopo one can find the picturesque town of Louis Trichart in the mountainous area of the Soutpansberg. On a recent trip back from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe we visited this area as well as the Njelele valley (close to Toyandou town) in the neighbouring Venda. This geographical area is blessed with a rich historical background full of legends and myths and is one of a few remaining unspoilt areas of South Africa. Today, the history is still evident in the names of the two major towns in the area namely Louis Trichard that was named after a Voortrekker leader and Thoyandou after a historical chief of the VhaVenda nation. After we left the beautiful Motana Forests, Marius took us to show us Mpephu's village. It was here that we started to experience the deep mysticism of this area which was carried forward into our next day's excursions with Johan Kloppers (Eagle Adventures). It is therefore important to discuss the historical background to the area before we can discuss Mpephu's village in more detail. Legends, myths and religions play an important role in a society, it is a way of adapting human behaviour to the demands of an ecosystem or pressure of demography. It can also be used by the ruling class to maintain their class in terms of other people in the society. Myths are living social events, intelligible only in the context of real humans in real places involved in some or other social interaction. The VhaVenda nation has a rich history of myths and legends, some still influences their daily life even today. These myths and legends have developed with the VhaVenda nation, and have been adapted over the centuries with their changing social and physical environment.

To Guide Entry
The great myths can teach us many things for in them we find history and geography and astronomy and word origins. But most of all, we find the struggles of human beings including all the passions and frailties that are to be found in humans today. We are connected to these ancient civilizations in Greece and Rome by some words in our language, to be sure, but we are even more directly connected to them by these myths, for it is in these tales that we see ourselves. We struggle just as the ancients did to know where we fit on this planet and how we should conduct our lives, and we wonder on occasion just as any culture does, whether our lives and actions are all part of some grand plan. When earlier civilizations struggled (to understand the mysteries of life) they wrote stories to help them see their world and their place in the world more clearly. The Greeks had a word for it all right; to them the word for story was mythos The great myths are valuable in their own right, not just because they provide the mental “hooks” or schemata, but also because they enable us to gather and understand new material. These myths have survived through the centuries because they have had something important to say, and because people of widely disparate ages and cultures have found in these tales lessons and inspiration for their own lives. This enables us to appreciate people of all cultures.
