COMPARATIVE MYTHOLOGY for MYFAROG
Thank you for your interest in this project.
Below (on page 2 and 3) is a list of names for the different pan-European deities. The PIE (proto-Indo-European) names are reconstructions of the Scandinavian names only! Listen in brackets are the names of the regions of Thulê (the world of MYFAROG), and their corresponding 'real world' inspirations (e. g. Roman and Etruscan for the region Troskenia).
I am completely missing the Baltic, Basque, Celt-Iberian, Dacian/Thracian, Egyptian, Finnish, Iberian, Illyrian and Sanskrit names for the deities.
What I want from you is that you make lists like those below, of the deities according to your culture, and then post this in the comment section of the Comparative Mythology YouTube video on my channel. You can list them in the same order as below, or with the PIE names next to the names you list.
You can also post comments with suggestions to alternative names than those already listed by me or others.
Don't worry about the gender of the deities; Originally they were all defined as hermaphroditic spirits, and were only later anthropomorphized and named as gods or goddesses. Some of them became gods, others goddesses, and they were not anthropormorphized the same way all over Europe. They are still the same though, and e. g. any god of justice defined as a goddess somewhere in Europe, is the same as the other deities of justice in Europe. Please list the gender of the deities only when they differ form the deities listen in the PIE column below. Note also that some deities are still hermaphroditic some palces in Europe.
Note further, that some deities can be found in different versions in the same culture, although they are really the same. If so, please list both names for that deity, e. g. like this: Frigg/Freyja.
The complete list of European deities will be posted on www.myfarog.org as a FREE PDF, to be used for MYFAROG or as a tool by those interested in European mythology.
The purpose of this project, other than making MYFAROG more interesting for non-Scandinavians, is to cultivate YOUR interest in our OWN (i e. pre-Christian) cultural heritage, and also to create a common ground for all Europeans, that we all can stand on. Together.
The date for this project, just before Halloween, is not a coincidence: Halloween is the day when you are supposed to find yourself, to recognize yourself, as you were in your previous lives. Here we together try to find our own deities, and to recognize them, as they were when we lived in the past.
Our deities are not dead: they are still here in us. Bring them out! Bring them back to life!
