User talk:Notmyhandle

Hello, Notmyhandle. I am Mighty Erick, and I have just started a wiki on Mythopoia(Constructed Mythology), and I wonder if you have some original ideas for creative myths and related themes. So it is like an invitation, I check recent changes and I saw you have knownledge on Norse mythology, and I just said "Oh, may be he would like to join to this new wiki".

Thanks for your attention.

Well, Thanks, but we are not finding for J.R.R. Tolkien's beastiaries, but for creative beastiaries from users. You can create your own beastiary if you like to. We are just trying to emulate what Tolkien did, not to document directly what he did. That wiki is just a place where people can submit their own fantasy content. Yes, it is not such an educational project, just a hobbie. :) It is funny to create fantasy worlds, you know.

I just was wondering if you have some ideas for constructed mythologies, sometimes people with knowledege on Mythology want to experiment the myth-building too. If you want to try out, you are welcomed.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Generally when I try to invite people they just did never answer back. :)

I know our ancestors were right. You can say a star is a pointless bright thing lost in the Universe, but you can also say a star is a beautiful light-bringer nocturnal being that brings joy to the eyes who watch her. And the second definition is not bad, to me, it is valid too. That is why I love to play I am imagining the things as our ancestors imagined them. The Universe was a marvelous thing for them, and everything was deign to be deified and venerated, everything was full of awesome mysteries; although nowadays Universe is a doomed hopeless thing that came from a bang and it will end in a cold thermical death. Moon was a beautiful goddess who inspired poetry and helped travelers to not get lost at night, but then NASA went there, and she became a big fat rock that is floating in the space with no apparent purpose.

It is not about parodying our ancestors, mythopoia is just a way to look things like they did. I do not think Tolkien was parodying them, he just loved the antique civilization.

But I understand your doubts about the site, I know the site is very unorganized, and it lacks at this moment of a defined approach or at least a complete mythology, but it is just a beginning.

Give me some time, I am just starting. :) 14:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
