Bulgae
08/14/22 • 2 min
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.

Pangu
Human beings are nothing but fleas upon the earth. Sounds pretty cynical, huh? A little self-loathing perhaps. Well, the Chinese didn't think so. They thought is was a very humble and apt beginning to there existence. I'm Tanner Campbell and this is the Dictionary of Mythology and Folklore's entry for Pangu.

Dybbuk
The idea of spiritual posession is not unique across religions or mythologies, but in Jewish mythology there is a certain kind of spirit who can possess humans, animals, or even blades of grass. So long as the thing it attached itself to is a living thing, this spirit can do its work. I'm Tanner Campbell and this is the Dictionary of Mythology and Folklore's entry for "Dybbuk"
