Sicirus · 09-10-2002, 07:54 PM

Heres the centaur.

My favorite myth beast is probably a griffin.

Regarding some comments on this thread:

People are getting confused about the definition of a myth. "Myth" does not necessarily mean "untruth." Look it up. It seems that "myth" can, in effect, mean ANY story, true or not, told to explain natural phenomenon.

Silverstripe · 11-17-2002, 10:42 PM

Or for other reasons.

Look it up.

To sum up, Bible=myth. Anduril can choose Satan as his favorite mythological beast.

Yes, although I would advise against it, because it is a rather touchy area.

Technically, if you're looking for ANY "myth," you can choose something from the Bible. Even if every word of the Bible is true, which I believe is the case.

By the way, I am a Christian, in case anyone was wondering.

If Satan counts what about H.p Lovecraft creatures?Not Lovefcraft himself of course as he did exsist(possibly) but his great creation "Cthulhu" I would have to say him/her/it!

Silverstripe · 11-18-2002, 11:41 AM

Did you get my qualification of myths as not necessarily fictional? So technically you can choose just about anything found in any myth ... although I suppose if you followed that strictly, humans would be mythological as well.

Of course there are several definitions of "myth," so it's rather confusing.

Sorry if this thread is old, I found it interesting. I hope somebody responds. Did you know in the true Wicca religion, not the Hollywooded one, there is no devil/Satan?

My favorite creature are DRAGONS! I mean, how could you get any cooler than that? I challenge you, come up with something better than a dragon.

The last sane person · 02-23-2007, 01:11 AM

I've always liked pegasus...

tolkienfan · 02-23-2007, 02:11 AM

I think Gryphon.

Or Tolkien's Eagles...

durinsbane2244 · 02-23-2007, 07:37 AM

i think Fenrir was cooler than dragons...maybe...but i am quite the dragon lover...

Gwaimir Windgem · 02-23-2007, 03:17 PM

Pegasus is cool. So is Phoenix.

Dragonrider, I actually have never heard of a version of Wicca with Satan. I've of course heard of the distinction between real Wicca and "fluffy" Wicca, but I've never heard the latter associated with a belief in Satan. Maybe I just don't know enough fluffy Wiccans.

hectorberlioz · 02-23-2007, 03:20 PM

Speaking of Wiccans, in history class we watched a 90's A&E movie on the histroy of witchcraft in America. And right before they introduced the Satanist guy, one of the wiccan guys called satanists "fascists and jerks"

...

Gwai, you should've seen that satanist guy

, quite theatrical.

Gwaimir Windgem · 02-23-2007, 03:49 PM

They tend to be. Not always, but often. And I think they always have a theatrical streak, even if it isn't readily apparent.

Finrod Felagund · 02-28-2007, 01:37 AM

Well, I do enjoy the tales of the Jabberwocky!

The Questing Beats of Arthurian Legends is cool too, though i'm not really sure WHAt it is.

Gwaimir Windgem · 02-28-2007, 11:15 PM

The Jabberwocky? No, it's the Jabberwock. The poem is called "Jabberwocky" (no article); the beast is the Jabberwock.
