As I see it, there are many entities that exist beyond the basic senses, to me the difference between a God or landveattir is subjective. A Myth is a well spread and examined fairy tale.
People in all cultures had dealings with such beings, and explained them to each other and themselves in a way that made sense to their world. They all also made those stories to make sense of the wisdom they received.
Of all those ancient peoples I feel the most connected to those that lived in the same lands as me and, as I learned had a similar world-view as me. Therefore I consider it appropriate that I start off in their footsteps as I find my own way to connect to the worlds around me.
