I see that some categories like "fire elemental" don't seem to exist but do? Like you can click on the fire elemental category from "salamander" but you can't look it up with Category:Fire Elemental in the searchbar. And that there seems to be some contention on "Spirit" vs "Elemental" with the terms. Do the categories need work?

Also, shouldn't they also be in a greater category of "Elemental" or "Elemental spirits"?

If you could be the god or goddess of anything, what would it be?

In my opinion, we should not put digital art or fan-made art of gods, monsters, etc., because the myths belong to a certain culture or time period and we should use art that is from those time periods

For example for Greek gods, instead of digital art there should be vases, statues, paintings, reliefs, depicting the Greek gods.

Let me know your thoughts please

Mine is Greek mythology, I've been interested in it since I was 6 years old. I love how unique it is. it has so many magical characters and intriguing stories, i just adore it. what are yours?

Weord question that occured to me today - should phoenixes technically count as undead?

I know they currently don't, but phoenixes are similar to vampires and werewolves (both undead) in that the birds are pretty hard to kill. Vampires easily come alive again, which is exactly the same as what phoenixes do.

Please let me know your thoughts on these :3

The Rainbow Bridge is the theme of several works of poetry written in the 1980s and 1990s that speak of an other-worldly place where pets go upon death, eventually to be reunited with their owners. One is a prose poem whose original creator is uncertain. The other is a six-stanza poem of rhyming pentameter couplets, created by a couple to help ease the pain of friends who lost pets. Each has gained popularity around the world among animal lovers who have lost a pet or wild animals that are cared for.

According to the story, when a pet departs, it goes to the meadow, restored to perfect health and free of any injuries. The pet runs and plays all day with the others; there is always fresh food and water, and the sun is always shining. However, it is said that while the pet is at peace and happy, it also misses its owner whom it left behind on Earth.

When its owner departs, he/she too arrives at the meadow, and that is when the pet stops playing, turns, sniffs at the air and looks into the distance where it sees its beloved owner. Excited, it runs as fast as it can, until owner and pet are once more united. The pet greets its former owner in great joy while the human looks into the soft, trusting eyes of the pet, who might have been gone and absent on Earth but never absent in the heart. Then side by side, they cross the Rainbow Bridge together into Heaven, to play again and be together in love and happiness, never again to be separated.

In memory of all the pets that have touched our human souls...

The Egyptians believed that before the world was formed, there was a watery mass of dark, directionless chaos.

In this chaos lived the Ogdoad of Khmunu (Hermopolis), four frog gods and four snake goddesses of chaos. In the Greco-Roman period, Kek's male form was depicted as a frog-headed man, and the female form as a serpent-headed woman, as were all four dualistic concepts in the Ogdoad.

In 2016, individuals associated with online message boards, such as 4chan, noted a similarity between Kek and the character Pepe the Frog. This, combined with the frequent use of the term "kek" as a popular stand-in for the internet slang "lol", which was often paired with images of Pepe, resulted in a resurgence of interest in the ancient deity.

Happy Memorial Day and thank you to all the United States soldiers that sacrificed their lives in service to their country. Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for mourning the U.S. military personnel who have died while serving in the United States armed forces. In honor of the history and legends surrounding the United States Military, here are some cryptids encountered by US soldiers.

Batututs - these mysterious creatures by American troops in the jungles of Vietnam throughout the course of the Vietnam War. Sightings of rock apes by Viet Cong and NVA troops were also common enough that an NVA General organized an expedition in 1974 to try to capture or at least kill one.

Old Green Eyes - a North American ghoul like creature reported to have been sighted among the corpses of the American Civil War. A beast with green, glowing eyes is claimed to have haunted the land long before the arrival of the Civil War. After the Battle of Chickamauga, some reported seeing such a creature moving among the corpses near Snodgrass Hill. Such reports allegedly described the monster as being human-like, with eerie, green eyes and a huge, deformed jaw, from which terrifying fangs protruded.

Red Ghost- , also known as Fantasma Colorado, is a cryptid and a well known legend of Arizona. The Red Ghost appears as a very large, demonically hideous camel like creature, with a human skeleton tied to it's back. The U.S. Army introduced camels to the Southwest back in the 1850s, using them as beasts of burden while surveying a road across northern Arizona. But, the Civil War interrupted the great camel experiment, and most of the homely critters were sold at auction. A few were turned loose to run wild—and therein lies the basis for the legend of Red Ghost.

So I just joined here and thought this is interesting. I'm going to start making some articles related to some civilizations that were important to the development of these myths and folklores. Hope everyone is having a great day!

I just wanted to know bc i read some articles about Chinese lores and tales
