American Mythology LiesOfOzzy April 23, 2005 - There are two enduring myths that permeate American culture, which we all subscribe to in varying degrees, regardless of our religious views. They are the myth of an independent news industry consisting of diverse interests competing to bring you the truth, and the myth of our government protecting us from evil and harm. We immediately trust certain sources of information, because we were raised to believe that they’re "credible," and we do so without question. We immediately turn to our government for protection from all danger, because we believe it’s their purpose. These beliefs are so deeply ingrained in our culture, that expressing doubt about either’s validity will result in being ostracized by many members of our society. In other words, if you insist that the entire news industry is capable of collaborating to hide the truth, or try to tell someone that the U.S. government has murdered thousands of Americans, there’s a good chance they’ll think you’re crazy, and they’ll probably seek to avoid you. The truth is that today’s "credible" news sources are masterpieces in the art of deception, and they epitomize the propagandist’s skill. I’ve learned to appreciate the magic show, and I now know that the best way to make a nation’s constitution disappear, is to first distract the people with the court trial of a dancing pervert. And if I ever need to inspire hatred in my fellow countrymen for an innocent people, I only have to blow up a few buildings, and blame them for it. There’s no need to worry about the newspapers revealing the truth, and apparently, that hasn’t been a problem for a long time.

Dance Folklore Literature Movies Music Painting Poetry Sculpture Television Theater Visual arts The folklore of the United States , or American folklore , is the folk tradition which has evolved on the North American continent since Europeans arrived in the 16th century . While it contains much in the way of Native American tradition, it should not be confused with the actual tribal beliefs of any real band, nation or community of native people. American Folklore, rather, is that strange fusing of European ideals of "civilization" with a European obsession with the "exotic" and the "savage." Any way you slice it, American Folklore is essentially about immigrants and their misunderstanding of each other, and of the new landscape they found themselves conquering, and of the people that had already been there when the first "white men" arrived. Ultimately, American Folklore is a constant intertwining of the new and the old, the mechanical and the pastoral, the mundane and the miraculous, for no other purpose it seems than to fill up the space of a lazy afternoon.

Indeed, one particularly pervasive myth is that Columbus discovered America, as it is far easier to heroify a man than a complex series of waves of immigrants from multiple conditions and walks of life. According to some stories, Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in order to prove that the world was round, because he expected to reach the Far East by sailing west. Like most mythological "founders" Columbus' mission is then rendered entirely noble, intellectual and rational. He helped dispel the inaccurate myths of his time, and, so, it is concluded, the nation he founded must be a nation of intellect and logic.

Unlike every other book or manuscript that we offer this is the only one that is neither theological nor scriptural in its subject matter. It deals exclusively with issues of secular history. However like all the others it is written in the interest of truth. Errors creep into secular history as easily as they creep into men's theology. And once fossilized and accepted as history they acquire a mythological status that raises them above criticism as it were. It is the mission of this book to expose and debunk some of the more prevalent myths of accepted American history. This is a fun book. It is interesting and fascinating reading. It shows us that as far as history is concerned " political correctness " has been with us for centuries. It demonstrates the fiction of many of the famous episodes in American history and replaces it with the facts. This book would entertain anyone with an interest in history and one need not be an armchair historian to enjoy it. It would be especially of benefit to home-schoolers. After all if your going to reject the public schools and their canned curriculum why not do the job right? And unfortunately most of the home school curriculums parrot the historic myths with great fervor. Traditionalism wins out over truth! The book includes chapters on the following subjects and more… - Who really discovered America Plymouth Rock -The actual first settlements in North America.

Ages 4-8. INUIT MYTHOLOGY Storytellers told two kinds of stories: ancient and recent. Ancient stories told about encounters with animals in human form, and about witches and sea goddesses. Recent tales included the adventures of hunters on land and seastories about courage, strength, vanity, and conceit. KING ARTHUR AND HIS KNIGHTS IN MYTHOLOGY During the Dark Ages, Britain was without a king and the country was divided. Death and destruction reigned over the land as power-hungry overlords armed themselves and fought against their fellow countrymen. Out of those dark and violent centuries, a legendary leader arose; King Arthur became one of the most famous figures in British literature. ROMAN MYTHOLOGY Roman and Greek mythology share many of the same gods and goddesses. However, Roman myths have evolved more from real, historical figures and events than did tales from Greek mythology.

Contact us The Gods Of North American Mythology Native American Gods The current Top Ten: APOTAMKIN RAVEN COYOTE MANABOZHO KWATEE AAKULUUJJUSI AHAYUTA-ACHI SEDNA WENDEGO ABAANGUI More Info Introduction Once upon a time there were Red Indians. Then along came the Palefaces... But before the White Man came trampling all over the land, the many native tribes of what was still to become America had all the space in their world. They made good use of it, living close to nature in what might seem like a glorious camping holiday if there wasn't the constant threat of starvation and war. There was much in the way of free-range food, but hunting wasn't as easy as getting up in the morning, taking a stroll and shooting a few passing bison with your bow. Even Plains societies who lived off the prolific buffalo fell under the threat of starvation at times. When herds were found, the people were grateful and thanked the Gods profusely. The Native Americans had - and still have! - a huge respect for nature. Animals had powerful spirits and it was necessary to thank them and placate them if you wanted to make a meal of them. When corn came by courtesy of the deities, it was also given its due measure of respect. Living so close to nature, you could see into the souls of the BEAVER, BADGER and Buffaloes as they went about their business. You could feel the THUNDER-BIRD fixing the weather, and revel in the rascality of RAVEN, MANABOZHO and COYOTE with their tantalising tricks.
