Writing Mythology Novels & Stories

“We’ll be analyzing the Moonlight myths—how the stories have evolved over time and what they tell us about the cultures that created them.” The students murmured with excitement as she unlocked the door, leading them inside. Elena loved this part of her job, the opportunity to share her passion for history and mythology with others. It felt like uncovering the layers of the past together, peeling back the mysteries hidden within ancient texts. She set her materials on the desk, glancing at the clock as the students settled into their seats. Once everyone was ready, she began. “Good morning, everyone. Today, we’ll be exploring-”

I read slowly at first, scanning for anything that caught my attention, then faster when the information became repetitive. The book had almost everything I already knew. According to myths, lycans were created by the Moon Goddess to serve as protectors and also serve as leaders to the regular wolf. But they began to abuse their power, using it for domination instead of protection. They become ruthless and arrogant and even oppress the white wolf—my kind. Because of this, they were split apart from wolves entirely and forbidden from crossing into each other's region. There were also scientific explanations about lycans: mutations, hybrid evolution, and advanced biology, but none of that inte

Light from the moon fell in rays onto the wolf. ‘Blessed by the moon to be a blessing to the world,’ it said. It told of the origin of our kind. I’ve heard all types of origin stories before, but this one was new. Since the beginning of time, Gods and Goddesses have brought their own creations to life. There were certain foundational rules that applied. Only one creation per creator. Nothing was immortal but lifespans could vary. However, there must always be a beginning and an end. Also, nothing could be created evil with each creation being given free will.

Anything. ‍ ‍Then I saw it. A​ sec⁠tion on mythology. Folk⁠lore. Legends. I pul⁠led o‍ut a book. "Wolve​s in Legend and‍ Lore."‍ Opened it. Flipped through pages⁠ about werewolves. Sh‌ape-shi‌fters. C‌reat​u‌re⁠s th​a‍t were huma⁠n an‍d animal b‍oth.

He tells me and I nod, waiting for him to continue. “There is a story, passed down through the generations of witches, about the first witch, Aadhya. She was the most powerful being in creation and is said to be the mother of all beings. It his her ancient magic that led to the evolution of dragons, and her heartbreak that created werewolves. The story says that the Blessed Mother and the Moon Goddess are sister deities, they worked together to breathe life into Aadhya and gave her magic so she could protect the earth and those who would in habit it.” He stops to draw a deep breath and feels for something in his pocket. He doesn’t remove the object, only reassures himself that it is still th

“Listen to me carefully. The Great Dream is the creator of The Myth; he then divided his power and merged with nature after the process of The Myth was completed. At that time, a golden seed leaded the Myth. The golden seed is a direct descendant of the Great Dream and only appears once every five hundred years.”

Their ancestors must've failed to cook up a story for them just like the mundanes cook up stories of creation by an all knowing and all powerful god, or how their scientists try all they can to prove that they were not created but rather evolved through series of actions and reactions throughout Earth's history, but by virtue of being a witch, I knew. It has always been passed down, from one generation to the another in a witch's lineage; the true origin of the creatures of the underworld - the witches, vampires, and werewolves. Some people might still remember the romantic legend of the Moon Goddess, of how she fell in love with a human and still stayed together with him even after being wa

Some scholars believe the werewolf made its debut in The Epic of Gilgamesh, the oldest known Western prose, when Gilgamesh jilted a potential lover because she had turned her previous mate into a wolf. Werewolves made another early appearance in Greek mythology with the Legend of Lycaon. According to the legend, Lycaon, the son of Pelasgus, angered the god Zeus when he served him a meal made from the remains of a sacrificed boy. As punishment, the enraged Zeus turned Lycaon and his sons into wolves.

Clear as daylight, the hostility he had for her shown. "Most of the things the humans have written down are not true. Your ancestors interpreted the knowledge which they might have heard from Minor Gods in their own perspective. And with time the content kept on altering, turning the facts into mythology." Will explained. "So they don't even know each other?" I asked. "No, they do know each other." Will sighed. "But their relationship is far from friendly."

"Now, stop worrying about my finances and listen. Because I'm not here to just give you a fish. I'm here to teach you how to drain the ocean." I took a napkin from the cheap metal dispenser. "Your mistake," I began, pulling a pen from my pocket, "is that you think you wrote a movie. You didn't. You wrote a piece of mythology. A ghost story for the digital age. And you don't sell mythology by putting it on a poster. You sell it by making people believe it's real." His brow furrowed in confusion. "Like The Blair Witch Project?"
