I dreamed once of unicorns and dragons. Fairies and mermaids. All the mystical creatures from stories I'd read as a child and, let's face it...an adult. There is something very romantic about mythological creatures. Something that grabs hold of us and brings out the mystic in us all. When we imagine these creatures we aren't surrounded by skyscrapers or an industrious nation. No...we are instantly transported back to chivalry and mischief. Danger and damsels. Hero's and bloodshed....and long slow kisses you can only experience when you have been gripped in deaths fist and escaped unscathed, if not a little worse for the wear.
You may wonder where I am going with this. Well...as I always say, trust me...I have a point. Lol. My point is that these creatures bring out the best and the worst in us.
But why is that? Why do we fantasize about something that doesn't exist? Things people tell us have never existed? That's what people want the masses to believe, anyway. Well...let me ask you this....if vampires never existed then why are there accounts of strikingly similar creatures from all corners of the world from as far back as 4000 years ago? Keep in mind when you ponder this that there was no way for people from all over the world to communicate with each other, like there is now, so how could they have experienced such similar things? As someone who has been to New Orleans ALOT...I can tell you for certain that something is out there! Lol!
The same goes for Bigfoot, Aliens, Loch Ness, Werewolves, etc...etc...
It wasn't too terribly long ago when the greatest minds of their time thought the earth was flat, right? In the last decade scientist have rediscovered species they thought extinct for over 10,000 years. So...taking these things into consideration, how can anyone say for certain that creatures of myth don't, and have never, existed? Well, for one thing, we need to believe in them. We need to believe in the magic of the moment. We need to believe that a small part of it still exist. We need to dream. That part is very simple, the need. That explains why the stories live on to this day.
That having been said, it still doesn't explain how people separated by such distance could see the same things, does it? Well....my opinion is not popular among the scientific community, but that's okay. Lol. I truly don't mind. You see, I believe that all myths have some basis in fact. The stories of Gods and Goddesess. Of Atlantis and creatures unlike anything we can see today. If these creatures and places never existed, if there was absolutely no evidence that they ever inhabited the earth or the heavens, then why are they still ever present today? Why are they studied and hunted? Why are there still sightings? Attempts at communication? Worship placed at their unseen feet?
The simple answer is that the world is full of nuts and that people will believe anything. Yes...that is the simple answer...but is it the right one? Just food for thought....
Blessed Be, my pretties...)O(
