Been really into mythology lately

Ever since I was little I've been interested in this topic, but I had left it behind. Recently this interest has resurfaced.

It is beautiful how these centuries-old stories still influence our cultures.

What's your favorite myth?

... Read moreMythology has captivated humanity for centuries, serving not only as rich tapestries of storytelling but also as reflections of cultural values, beliefs, and history. From the epic tales of Greek mythology like the adventures of Hercules to the captivating legends of Norse gods such as Odin and Thor, each story intricately weaves human experiences, moral lessons, and historical events into their narratives. The resurgence of interest in mythology in contemporary culture can be seen through various mediums like literature, film, and even art, as creators draw inspiration from these timeless tales. Additionally, modern adaptations have allowed audiences to revisit these age-old legends with fresh perspectives. Book series, movies, and even video games have popularized mythological figures, breathing new life into their stories. Readers and viewers alike find connections between their own lives and the trials of mythical heroes, encouraging personal reflection and dialogue about enduring themes such as courage, betrayal, and redemption. Whether through classic interpretations or modern retellings, mythology continues to provide a source of inspiration and a way for societies to bond over shared narratives. As you rekindle your interest in these timeless stories, consider how myths not only shape culture but also connect generations through universal themes that resonate even today.

I’ve been really into crochet lately…
I find it difficult to finish projects so I have a million half done ones and I can’t wait to add a million more ! Art is about inspiration and finding something new everyday and so I’m not mad at myself about it and you shouldn’t be disappointed in yourself either !! #crochetinspiration #croche
