Ways to Read Myths
Part 1
by Nancy R. Fenn

Astrology is for Skeptics

Real astrology doesn't tell you how to run your life.

It doesn't make your decisions for you.

It doesn't say you're consigned to a certain "fate."

Real astrology charts life's natural cycles.

It describes your experiences in ways that make sense.

1. Read myths with the eyes of wonder transparent to their universal meaning ... [and] their meaning transparent to its mysterious source.

The hounds of Diana tore Actaeon the hunter apart when he stumbled upon her bathing in the nude. So, then, what is it about the stumbling upon fountains of godheads that tears one apart, a thousand years ago in Greece and today in Omaha?

2. Read myths in the present tense: Eternity is now and you are Coatlique.

Coatlique was first impregnated by an obsidian knife and gave birth to Coyolxanuhqui, goddess of the moon, and to a group of male offspring, who became the stars.

Then one day Coatlique found a ball of feathers, which she tucked into her bosom. When she looked for it later, it was gone, at which time she realized that she was again pregnant. Her children, the moon and stars did not believe her story. [Aztec creation myth]

In the present tense, read instead and with great excitement: Coatlique is impregnated by an obsidian knife and gives birth to Coyolxanuhqui, goddess of the moon, and to a group of male offspring, who become the stars.

Then one day Coatlique finds a ball of feathers, which she tucks into her bosom. When she looks for it later, it wis gone, at which time she realizes that she is again pregnant. Her children, the moon and stars do not believe her story. ["What happens next!?" is the feeling this kind of reading evokes.]

3. Read myths in the first person plural ("we"): the Gods and Goddesses of ancient mythology still live within you.

Reading an Australian Aboriginal creation myth in the first person plural and in the present tense, we discover much about ourselves: We, the eternal ancestors arise, in the Dreamtime, and wander the earth, sometimes in animal form -- as kangaroos, or emus, or lizards -- sometimes in human shape, sometimes part animal and human, sometimes as part human and plant.

Two of us self-create out of nothing, and are the Ungambikula. Wandering the world, we find half-made human beings. They are made of animals and plants, but are shapeless bundles, lying higgledy-piggledy, near where water holes and salt lakes can be created. The people are all doubled over into balls, vague and unfinished, without limbs or features. [Wow! What comes next? we wonder.]

Are you ready for this one? "And we so love the earth that we create our only begotten son." [Remembering, always, that our religion is another man's myth.]

4. Any myth worth its salt exerts a powerful magnetism.

Notice the images and stories that you are drawn to and repelled by. Investigate the field of associated images and stories.

Can you accept that a turtle created the world or would you prefer to have a goddess who tires of masturbating and mates with a snake? Or how about a patriarch who makes the letters of the alphabet dance and sing? It's your world. Create it your way.
