You called “x” story a “myth” but it’s part of my religious practice. What gives?

Willing & Fable is a mythology and story podcast and is therefore looking at tales from around the world with the same level of importance and validity.

In line with the study of mythology, Willing & Fable follows this definition of a myth:

“a traditional story, especially one concerning the early history of a people or explaining some natural or social phenomenon, and typically involving supernatural beings or events.” — Oxford Languages

While the hosts will occasionally question their own personal beliefs alongside the stories (ex. Rowan is on a desperate hunt to find a ghost, while Tracey would much prefer that ghosts don’t exist because, oh boy does she get scared!), the team at Willing & Fable never have the goal to prove or disprove any religious practice.

Please listen to the audio track below “What the Heck is a Myth?” to hear the team discusses this more in detail.

Or read this article from Encyclopedia Brittanica that expertly describes the different classifications of story. It was one of the key sources for Episode 1.
