Here you will find examples of the mythology, legends traditions and folklore that have evolved over the centuries to help humans understand the world and the human condition. Although interpretations of meaning may be presented the reader is encouraged to form their own interpretations and their own meanings based on their own knowledge, experience, beliefs and values. In doing so please respect the ideas of other people from the past, present and future. They all have value!
Many of the legends, myths, folklore and traditions presented here may go back hundreds, even thousands of years and tell of our ancestor's struggles with nature, with themselves, how they made sense of their world and much more besides. They are threads that run from humankind's early history to the present day, weaving rich tapestries that give insights into how our ancestors made their way in the world and their hopes and fears. They are the golden threads that connect all of us living in the present to those people of the distant past and will in turn connect those people in the future to us and those in the past. Through these golden threads the past, present and future are bound, connected and woven into one and many realms - the Folkrealm.
