Weigle's Types of Creation Myths - Part II
Yesterday I have shared to you the first part of Marta Weigle's Types of Creation Myths, for those who haven't read it yet, you can visit it anytime. So, let's get started for the continuation. https://read.cash/@Ling01/weigles-types-of-creation-myths-b397fbae ***But first let me Flex to you my sponsors, one of those persons who guide and support me throughout my journey here. You guys can check them too:)*** ________________________ Accretion or Conjunction This type of myth states that the world was created as the result of the combination of primal elements like water, fire, soil, wave, air, etc; the mixture of substance. This focus on the potency of primal matter; if other myths states that the world was created by the primordial gods, then this type of myth only involved inanimate matter, there's no action taken by a god. Secretion According to qtd. in Leonard and McClure 35, this type of myth states that the world was created by; **vomit** - In Bushongo Mythology, the universe was created when a god named M'Bombo became ill, because of this he vomit and eveything in the universe occurred, even the animals and humans **sweat** - In Norse Mythology, there is a god named Ymir. When he slept, a man and woman formed from his sweat under his left arm. **urination and defecation** - Water is very important element in the creation of the world, ancient believe that water is a big part of the creation, even the water that coming to a god's body, same as the bowel movement. **masturbation** - In Egyptian Mythology, the sun god Atum masturbate in order to create universe and all the living things; note, in their mythology masturbation is a holy ritual. **webspinning** - example of this is the myth of Arachne, in Greek mythology. She transformed by Athena the goddess of wisdom into a spider, a punishment to weave for eternity. **parthenogenesis** - from Greek words means "*virgin birth*", these form without the help of a sperm; the development of an offspring from unfertilized egg or gamete. Sacrifice As we know, there are still some cultures who practices body or blood sacrifice. In other mythology, god sacrifice one's body in order to build a new creation, some are buried alive, killed to sacrifice the blood and cut one's body to offer. Division or Consummation There are two kinds of this type of myth. The first one states that the world was created by sexual intercourse or when two primordial gods unite to form an offspring. Just like in Greek Mythology, the sky god Uranus and mother earth Gaia unite and produced their first offspring which are the Cyclopes and Hecatonchires.
The second kind is about the Cosmogenic Egg. That life begins from an egg, here are those mythology who believed in cosmic egg
Earth-diver
Life emerges from the smallest particle, according to this myth. Typically, the god goes into a primordial sea to retrieve the elements required to create the world. It can be about cosmogonic water - the creation made by the water; or a creature that dives into the ocean to grab a piece of land. This is common in Native American folklore, like Cherokee creation myth. *That's it everyone, only a brief explanation about the type of myths based to Marta Weigle. As according to some beliefs, "God made man, because he liked to hear story", and now we have thousands of stories in different mythology.* ________________________ ***Lead image was edited using*** *****PicsArt***** *** Author's love message : ***Hello lovely readers!

Concepts and theories of creation are really all over the world based on their culture. But all to that, we're blessed that we have Jesus in our lives.
I am a new bie here first of all you did a wonderful research by searching about the myth . I love them all .I also learnt that life is emerged from the smallest particles through the myth
In my country so many still believe in making sacrifices especially during their festivals. Everyone is usually advised to stay indoor during this period, as any one caught at unawares may fall victim of these fetish peeps. I'm not a fan of this practice.
People in different countries still have this kind of tradition. Different people still believe these. I like Cherokee creation myth.
This is my first time Reading about this mythology.
It's also fun to read from yesterday's continuation, but like my perception yesterday that this is only used as material for knowledge and not used as an element of belief. because this myth like this comes from the ancients or ancient times where belief still depends on cultural life. The spiritual teaching that we experience today in each religion may be different so I made this material for knowledge.
sorry ling but its so strange for me but anyway you wrote gooooooooodddddddddd:-))))) <333
There's a lot of mythology around the world. It's like a bedtime story just to give some entertainment to the listener. I loved watching movies too base on mythology hehe.
Thus mythology doesn’t match with other. Little weird.
Ngayon ko lang to nalaman thanks for this
