I like the Norse, Dex. I wonder if the Bible is at least partly myth. Seems possible to me. To my way of thinking, I shouldn't think so. We don't know the whole truth involved in our Creation so things that we normally think of as magical is definitely within the realms of possibilities so quite feasable and not necessarily myth.
