the place of myth

i think vast swaths of myth are exegesis useful in the moment but reaching reaching and lacking any insight into what they build upon
instruments 
fashioned 

 Like a coral reef? Building on the empty corpse of what once was living knowledge?

nothing that dramatic just there is a reality 
the gods exist
stories told about them shouldn't be sacrosanct

**some myths, and categories of myth are especially deforming of our understanding of the gods
myths that relate the gods to each other in an epic narrative esspcially
myths that are more focused on specific relationships less so, but judgement should be employed
that said
the modern ritualist/mythopoeicist should feel empowered to utilise myth in the manner it is used

preferably for spiritual ends though
