Revamping the Library

 

Hello, my darlings. How do you like the new banner? I love libraries, especially the old, kinda creepy ones. That's where the best books are...and the darkest stories.

A few years back, I'd started a blog called Library of the Ancients. I had a great plan for the site. I was going to create posts about a wide variety of ancient histories and legends, along with links to more information, links to books on the subject, and shops where like-minded items could be purchased. Unfortunately, my timing sucks, and life threw my cool idea out the window.

Well, I'm going to try again. I absolutely love this blog, and I'm determined to make this a little library of information on histories, mysteries, and mythologies. And the older I get, the more I want to know about ancient religions and stories I'd never thought of before.

I'm not quite sure just how I'm going to catalogue everything yet, but I'll figure it out. When I try to do it on paper, I get overwhelmed and constantly second-guess myself. I'll get there. 

I've always had a love for ancient history and strange legends. Not just the ancient ones, but more modern mysteries as well. I thrive on it. It used to drive my grandmother crazy. She was a devout Christian and just knew I was going to hell because of it. My dad just told her to leave me alone as I'd grow out of it. Yea, that didn't happen. But I always looked at it as not just understanding the Christian faith, but all faiths. I understood at a very young age that these stories weren't just myths and legends; they were someone's religion.

I also fell in love with the ancient stories such as King Arthur, Beowulf, Queen Mebd, and so many more. I wanted to know all I could find about ancient kings and queens such as Alfred the Great and Boudicca. I just found it all fascinating.

I want to create a place where all those stories, religions, and legends can co-exist. Tales about vampires next to stories about blood-letting rituals. Sounds dark, and it kind of is, but it's oddly interesting. I'll be adding places you can find more information, links to books and videos on mysteries and legends, and weird tidbits of information just to make you think.

So, come along and see where this takes us. I can't promise miracles, but maybe I can convince the "others" to help me shape their stories and bring them all back to life.

Until next time,
Miss Chris!!!
