Another site has been kind enough to run an item of mine. In this case a list of the Top 10 Deities In Shinto Mythology. The Shinto pantheon gets just enough attention that I didn’t feel it merited a whole page from me so I just did a Top 10 (with lots of side-references to lesser Shinto gods and goddesses) and submitted it elsewhere.

JANUARY 30TH UPDATE OF MY VIETNAMESE MYTHOLOGY PAGE
I just updated the page with the final chapter of the saga of the god Thach Sanh and with two new entries – one on Song Truong, the god of the tides and one on Ba Set, the goddess of lightning.

JANUARY 16TH UPDATE TO VIETNAMESE MYTHOLOGY PAGE
Just a note to point out that I added two more chapters to the saga of the god Thach Sanh and added an all-new entry – this time on the Ba Co. If you need a quick, glib comparison think of the Ba Co as the Vietnamese pantheon’s equivalent of the Sirens from Graeco-Roman myth or the goddess Ran from Teutono-Norse myth.

THE TRUNG SISTERS – Trung Trac and her sister Trung Nhi occupy a special place in Vietnamese mythology. If you want a glib or simplistic comparison to approach their story with think of them as an ancient Vietnamese version of Lakshmibai of Jhansi in the history of India or Joan of Arc in Western lore. In the early 40’s C.E. Trung Trac led an uprising against the latest Chinese occupiers with Continue reading
