Is the word “mythology” a wrong or pejorative term to describe the sacred corpus of ancient traditions?
Many mistakenly believe that the term “myth” has the meaning of “fictitious story”, “false” or even sometimes it has used as a synonym for a “lie”. The fact that we and the society in which we live is not mythical does not imply that the myth must be understood in a pejorative sense, as if what is myth is not valid. When Christianity spread like a pestilent plague, the pagan myths acquired a pejorative context and the word myth was first used as a synonym of false belief.
However, this usage obviously does not come from an objective and serious study of myths. The myth is not intended to be as an accurate narration of an event, but a symbolic, allegorical and psychological narration which has a transcendental significance that goes beyond the images and words.
The myth is not a historical truth, and that’s why those who do not understand the mythologies, specially Abrahamic monotheistic idiots, mock them, and they think that we truly believe in a set of stories and creatures as if they had happened in that way, because they are so ignorant and naïve that they actually believe in their own mythologies in that simplistic way.
They boast to having alleged "historical" desert characters, as if their historical existence and deeds were scientifically, definitely, undoubtedly and without question proven. But their existence and deeds are in no way much more historical than those european heroes of antiquity who stood out by his feats and naturally became in myths, ie, truths, not external ones, but for our spiritual inner.
