In the beginning, there was an idea.

I've loved myths and folktales as long as I can remember. They were among the first material I read as a young child, and knowing them has enriched my sense of spirituality and made me feel like a part of something greater. Being a writer, I tell stories as well, but no matter what I write about, I always feel as though these stories, these ancient tales that were passed down from generation to generation, are more perfect than anything that has come from the mind of a writer in this day and age. So, recently, I began to toy with the idea of sharing these myths with readers all over the world. Only a few days before this blog was created, my mother and I were talking and she suggested I make a blog and gather together information that would otherwise remain scattered over literature and the Internet. Why not myths? Why not make a blog that tells, picks apart, and analyzes popular (and even not-so-popular) myths, stories and folktales from around the world?

Looks like I'll have to practice on the machine...

My mother and I came up with a brilliant business idea, and I thought, "why not use this, also, as a way to promote Myth Fix?" I think it's a brilliant idea. A soft, fluffy, ingeniously brilliant idea. And couches everywhere shall look amazing, should this plan take wing.

If you haven't already guessed, I'm making throw pillows.

But not just any throw pillows--oh, no! They're Myth Fix throw pillows, inspired by mythological symbolism from cultures around the world. The plan is still in its fledgling stage, but as soon as the needle hits the fabric and the price has been determined, you, my beloved readers, will be the first to know.

My mother's favorite Native American symbol is, and has always been (at least, as far as I can remember) the kokopelli, so it was the first design I thought of. I have more design ideas listed, mostly animals, but suggestions are always welcome.
