Mythology & Mystery

Nothing from our ancient past seems more deeply embedded in our modern consciousness than mythologies, tales and symbols. Were those myths something that existed in the minds of our ancestors, or were they based on true events? The extraordinary stories of societies, heroes, gods, the supernatural, and life and death resonate deep within us even now, surfacing generation after generation in books, art, culture, music and everyday wisdom. Some realms still remain hidden from us, as they may have for our ancient ancestors, and these anomalies need to be re-examined—mysteries and legends may hold truths that can unlock the secrets of our ancient origins.

Here we feature Myths and Mysteries:
