Music hath charms to sooth the savage breast
~ William Congreve
Like many other history nerds, I find mythology completely fascinating. The knowledge and perspectives one can gain from a culture's spiritual belief system can not only be helpful in terms of understanding it, but it also makes the individuals who comprised that culture or period of time seem like people we can actually relate to or learn from in some way. A perfect example would be the Old Norse/ Viking era. The practices and customs of this ancient civilization were often violent and brutal on a visceral level, yet at the same time, they also had a clear and evident love of poetry, sagas and music. I think in many ways our lives today can mirror the duality of that cold-blooded aggressiveness as well as the tender, primal yearnings of an artistic soul. Everyday we get to choose which one of those will we be........who will you choose to be today?
