MYTH MONDAYS: U is for "Uranus"
Uranus (meaning “Heaven”) was an important entity in the Ancient Greek pantheon, considered to be the Sky Father. Depending on the era and religious cult, there are a number of legends that explain his origins, the oldest and most prominent of which is that he was the son and consort of Gaia (Mother Earth). Together, they produced the first generation of Titans (the ancestors of the Olympians) as well as the one-eyed Cyclopes and the hundred-ha...nded Hekatonkheires. According to the creation myth, Uranus was a foul being who hated his children, and imprisoned them deep within Gaia in the vaults of Tartarus (the Greek equivalent of Hell). To end her suffering, Gaia shaped a great sickle with which to castrate her husband, though only Kronos – youngest of the Titans – was brave enough to use it. Kronos defeated his father and claimed rule over the universe, but was foretold to be overthrown by his own son (Zeus), and thus became just as wicked. In his weakened state, Uranus could no longer visit Gaia, but remained an ever-present feature of the world.

MYTH MONDAYS: T is for "Tuath Dé"
In Ancient Celtic lore of Ireland, the Tuath Dé (literally “Tribe of Gods”) were the deities who represented various elements of life and nature. They were believed to dwell in the Otherworld, a collection of islands far to the West called Tír na nÓg (Land of the Eternal Young), but had means of communicating with the mortal world. They controlled everything from the flight of the sun and the flow of particular rivers, to healing spells and l...anguage, often depicted as beautiful and red-haired. In later mythologies, their name evolved into Tuatha Dé Danann (Peoples of the Goddess Danu), and were said to be the old kings and queens of Ireland who had once travelled from Tír na nÓg with the blessing of Danu (the primordial “Mother”), bringing their culture and knowledge. When the Celtic religions were replaced by Christianity, the transition was explained as the Tuath Dé retreating back into the earth, eventually called the Aos Sídhe (a fairy- or elf-like race).

MYTH MONDAYS: S is for "Svarog"
Until about 1,000 years ago, Svarog was a name for the celestial abode of the gods according to the Eastern Slavs, often associated with the Western Slavs’ eternal paradise of Rai (however, the latter was actually closer to an underworld). Very little is known about Old Slavic culture in general, but some details of their cosmologies and pantheons have been preserved in medieval texts. Like the Norsemen and Saxons, they believed in a World Tree..., though it was only separated into three realms: Heaven (Svarog), Earth (Zemlja) and the Underworld (Irij). Svarog – also the name of the East’s chief deity (similar to the West’s Perun) – was described as a bright place filled with joy, very much mirroring the field-, forest- and river-based topography of the mortal world. Here, the air was never too hot or too cold, there was a floral scent on the breeze, and airborne chariots could often be seen. The word “Svarog” itself is derived from the Vedic “Svar” (literally meaning “Heaven”), thus sharing a root with the Svarga of Hinduism.

MYTH MONDAYS: R is for "Ranginui"
In the creation story of Maori legend, Ranginui (Great Sky) was the primordial father of the first generation of gods. According to the myth, he and the earth mother, Papa (World), had been lying in a tight and loving embrace since the dawn of time. They had given birth to many sons, each of whom were crushed in darkness between the pair, until one day they were able to prise their parents apart. Ranginui thus rose into the heavens, and becam...e like a distant stranger to his children. Tane – the god who had eventually succeeded in the forceful parting – believed his father to be inappropriately dressed, and so sent him the celestial light of the sun, moon and stars to make him handsome again. It is said that Ranginui will forever grieve for his beloved Papatuanuku (World Separated), and that rain is the tears he sheds for her.

MYTH MONDAYS: Q is for "Qalupalik"
In the folktales of the Inuit peoples of the Arctic, there is a terrifying creature called the Qalupalik who is said to abduct children who disobey their parents. The Qalupalik is described as a half-aquatic-half-humanoid female with long hair, green skin and fingernails so protracted that they look like claws. She lurks beneath the surface of the seashore, waiting to snatch stray youngsters into her amautik (a native garment with a hooded p...ouch for carrying little ones) and take them to her underwater lair where they will remain forever. It is believed that she draws energy from the kids so as to retain her immortality as they grow older. Children are often warned to steer clear of the water’s edge if they hear an unusual sound, for the Qalupalik will try to lure them with distinctive humming before she strikes. Some Inuit tribes claim that there are multiple monsters (Qalupaliit), while others say that the Qalupalik always eats her catch.
