However, I have just posted an article on Haitian Vodou whose Adsense and Amazon revenue are donated directly to Hope for Haiti, a good charity helping with Haiti relief efforts.

		<title>Hope, Blessings, and a Return</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, that was a longer absence than intended. Moving into my new home, starting my dissertation, and a flurry of life happenings pushed my mythology blog onto the back burner for nine months. Let me jump right back in on a current topic: politics and myth.
The recent U.S. election campaigns revolved largely around myth in [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Atlantis Legend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ (Syncroblog suggested by Mahud: Theme &#8220;Landscapes&#8221;)
I&#8217;ll tell you a story about Atlantis, the Lost Land.
Once upon a time, a  Greek philosopher named Plato was writing about his mentor Socrates and their circle of learned friends. Sometimes they would talk about right and wrong, the soul and other erudite matters by telling stories that [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Have Made a Myth-Take!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought I was being both original and clever with this title, to misquote Frodo in the &#8220;Conspiracy Unmasked&#8221; chapter of Fellowship of the Ring. Alas, it turns out I have been clever, but not original.
Behold:  Mythprint, the monthly newsletter of the Mythopoeic Society. As active as I&#8217;ve been among Tolkien-enthusiasts over the years, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It depends on what your definition of &#8220;true&#8221; is, to misquote a slippery politician in a tight place.
I&#8217;ve decided to pose this as a true/false question on Wis.dom. Click here to answer:
Is mythology true?
Now, let me tell you a story about Joseph Campbell, which will explain why I asked the question. Warning: Deep Thoughts Ahead!

		<title>The Goddess Athena</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In ancient times, there was not simply Apollo or Athena. Each area, city, or shrine had its particular god, who may have evolved from an earlier local deity that later became merged with one of the popular, Olympian gods that spread throughout the Greek-speaking world. (Amazingly, the popular epics about the Trojan War composed by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Featured Storyteller: Sister Unity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Normally I mean to share my own research and retellings of world mythology, but I have stumbled across a bard who truly deserves the title. Her performances speak for themselves; so do the myths she tells.

Here&#8217;s Unity&#8217;s performances of The Story of Durga Part II, The Story of Ganesh and The Rabbit and the Moon.
