It had been weeks since the hunters returned with meat for the families. The winter had been a long, cold one, and now, without fresh meat, it was becoming a desperate one. The food stores were growing low, and the community was growing concerned.

Finally, they came to the shamans to ask them to find out what was going on. After all, the hunters were very capable and never let their families grow hungry. Something far bigger had to be at hand.

This is a mythological view of the creation of the Universe. It is not meant to be taken literally. It is a metaphor based on Dragon Li’s mythology she refers to as Graxemicu.

The Graxean path is a system of tools and a structure for finding your own Path with reverence for Nature and the Universe. It does not subscribe to a particular culture or mythology. However, mythology itself has a strong influence in the Graxean Path as it once did in the culture, lives, and times where it was once popular and used appropriately (as a metaphor for life and the ways of the universe, not to be treated as historical fact.)

With the way our world is, it’s extremely difficult to have a mythology that drives people and ignites passion in their hearts on a mass scale. We’re both connected and very distant at the same time. Therefore, for a mythology to work, it has to apply to us personally. Therefore, mythology can take many forms.

My mythology has been with me from the beginning of my start on the Graxean path, but I knew that it would not apply to everyone or ignite their passion, their “Yes! That’s it!” as it does for me. However, I also knew that some would find inspiration in it or could indeed embrace it. In order to put forth the Graxean tools and structure without imposing my mythology on anyone who partakes of the tools and structure, I’ve decided to refer to my mythology as Graxemicu.

This allows me to share my metaphors with others without requiring them to accept them. It also allows others who have developed their own mythology with reverence for Nature and the Universe to share their tales. Therefore, when I reference something from my mythology, I will refer to it as Graxemicu.

The name itself stands for Graxe followed by the first letters of Myone (Sky God,) Irosa (Moon Goddess,) Cori (Sun God,) and Ukaye (Graxean for Universe.)

The term “myths” is often used nowadays to represent something untrue, false. Something that many people believe but isn’t true. However, mythology is, and was always meant to be, a metaphor for that which is unexplainable. It’s a way of connecting to the vast power of the universe in terms we can readily understand. It is a window to Spirit, something we see through in order to behold Spirit in ways our limited human minds can understand.
