I recently had the privilege to lay my eyes on Lark's 'a creation myth' on tangledmoon.org. I have to say it's a great piece of work. It shows just how knowledgeable Lark is as a spiritualist. What do you think of the writing?
Lark was High Priestess of Tangledmoon coven, until it ceased about five or six years ago. Yes, it's one of the many myths.Romantic; colourful; but only a myth. The truth of creation is a bit more complicated than that!
Which creation myth is this? Is it the one where the Lord and Lady came together to create the universe? I like that one. It is fun studying mythology. I read one once that the earth and sky were lovers but their embrace was so close they were crushing humanity so another god forced them apart and that's why it rains because the sky misses the earth. [I forget which culture that was from, I read a huge book of creation myths in high school] never really bought any, I always felt they were a nice story and nothing more. The closest I've come to believing is the God and Goddess coming together and creating the universe because I feel it can work with the big bang theory and the belief the divine is in everyone and everything.
UnitedKingdom was speaking about a creation myth that I wrote back in 2005:
And in the beginning was the Goddess. And She lay dreaming in the dark that had neither form nor place. And there was nothing except the Goddess.
And in Her silent sleep there came a dream, and within the dream a thought. And with the dream, and with the thought, a smile appeared upon Her lips. Her eyes opened upon the darkness of the primeval womb and She breathed a sigh for the beauty of the dream.
And the Lady's breath opened the darkness, and the light of Her beauty shown forth where only night had been. And Her breath stirred the winds of space and the suns burst into life, the planets took up their stations, and the wandering comets were born.
And the Lady looked upon the jeweled heavens of Her creation, and She danced upon the cosmic winds with the joy of Her dream. And as She danced, another came. Another crowned with horn and blazing like the suns. And They danced and They loved there amongst the stars.
And as They danced, They came upon a certain world, as beautiful as an opal suspended in the velvet blackness. And They breathed upon this priceless gem and Their breath stirred the waters, and the waters brought forth life. And They breathed and the air was filled with birds, the seas with fish, and the land brought forth beasts of every kind.
And the Lord and Lady brought forth mankind in their image, and They breathed the Breath of Life into them. And with the Breath came both Wisdom to know the Gods without and Spirit to know the Gods within.
For the breath of the Goddess that is the Air, is the breath of life itself, and the love of the Goddess made manifest.
That is the one. I read it from tangled moon. I have read a number of creation myths, even the Sumerian tablets. I also know the big bang theory. Have they figured out what caused the 'explosion'? But on the other hand it has got somewhat 'a testable theory'. But I enjoy myths. Does anyone know what the criteria was in the tests used?
