Myths

Good evening, and thank you all for joining me here for our defy lecture together. Tonight, we ar going to go over mythologys impact on a particular group, and how that myth has helped to skeletal system this groups believes and foundation.

Now it may already be unmingled to you all, but I would like to draw the obvious comparing for you between the development and practice of the Wiccan religion, and the mythology of Christianity.
