Badalisc Sep 07, 2022

Imagine you're skulking about your house. Your spouse is gone, you slink to the back door, it butts up against the forest, and you let your secret lover in to do secret lover things. The next day a creature is captured from the woods, a beast with a big mouth, a big mouth in the sense of gossip. Your affair won't remain a secret for long. I'm Tanner Campbell and this is the Dictionary of Mythology and Folklore's entry for Badalisc.

Bulgae Aug 14, 2022

Dogs and wolves play a role in practicaly every mythological pantheon that exists. In Norse Mythology there's Sköll and Hati. In the Wales there's the Gwllgi. In Italy there's Lupa the she-wolf of Rome. In Africa there is Wepwawet of Egypt. The list goes on. And while dogs and wolves are common in the west, the further east you get the more often you are to see foxes more than wolves, or cats more than dogs, but in Korean mythology there is a type of dog that plays a central role in the cosmology of the world. I'm Tanner Campbell, and this is the Dictionary of Mythology and Folklore's entry for the Bulgae of Korean Mythology.

Shuten Dōji Aug 01, 2022

You may or may not be familiar with the concept of Yokai. Yokai are, essentially, the physical forms that unexplained phenomena give rise to. Did your television turn on in the middle of the night and you can't figure out why? It was probabaly a Yokai. Did you hear a something run across your roof, but when you go out to check, there's nothing or no one there? It was probably a Yokai. But some Yokai don't explain the unexplainable, some Yokai are just part of the Yokai administrative structure. I'm Tanner Campbell and this is the Dictionary of Mythology and Folklore's entry for Shuten dōji.

Cá ōng Jul 31, 2022

This entry has been flagged for re-recording. Read on to discover why. Re-recordings happen on the first of every month.

There is perhaps nothing more majestic in feeling than to be crusing along, in a boat, looking over the Port or Starboard side and seeing a pod of Dolphins swimming along side you. But would you believe it if I told you that to look beside your boat to see the body of a dead dolphin is even better? Not if you're sane you wouldn't, but it's true. I'm Tanner Campbell and this is the Dictionary of Mythology and Folkore's entry for Cá ōng.

Corrections: In intial research Cá ōng was the spelling most commonly found, but in later texts the spelling Cá ông began to appear (1950s vs 2000s). I have a preference to go with older texts but I may have been wrong to do so here. If the correct spelling is indeed the latter, then this is not Dolphin worship it is Whale worship. Indeed there are far more instances of Cá ông referring to whales than Cá ōng to dolphins. Dolphins do seem to be included in this worship, but whales seem to be the most common. For additional reading on Whale worship among the Vietnamese, please click this link: https://www.haivenu-vietnam.com/vietnam-religion-whale-cult.htm
