HP Approaches the Magic World

Jon can certainly take care of his own life.

While Secretary Jin was delivering the box, Jon even made himself a cup of coffee, then sat on the sofa and read some reference books left by Joanne.

Research on ancient mythological civilizations in the Muggle world for me.

Joanne saw this because she wanted to improve the worldview in her novels. After all, her novels are now more realistic biographies, but after all, there are many fictional things. The magical world itself is in a state of civilization, and she wants to

To improve the world view of this book, it is impossible to write it exactly the same as the current magical world, so it is very necessary to learn from the creative descriptions of the "fictional" world by predecessors.

At this point, Jon's and Joanne's views are basically very similar.

His research direction is mainly the evolution of world civilization, and the mythical age, as the most important content in this part, occupies a very large position in his research.

Because the Western magical civilization ended in the Dark Ages, and it was the home of the Age of Myths before the Dark Ages, so these myths are of great reference to him.

After all, the Muggle world and the wizarding world are both worlds made up of humans. The difference in their records of some things was not particularly big in those very ancient times.

What does myth mean to people of their time now?

If we put aside the magical world, it is just a way for ordinary people in ancient times to observe the world around them, and myths are the result of the events that formed their observation of the world.

For ordinary people, mythology is not just a collection of stories that narrate the ages of gods and describe heroes. It also provides ordinary people with some ways to understand the world.

Because at that time, people would not understand why a huge sun would rise in the sky tomorrow morning, then circle around in the sky, and finally sink into the west.

They didn't know what it was or how it moved. And since they didn't know whether it was due to gravity or the rotation of other galaxies, the emergence of the myth seemed very logical.

This is just a conclusion, and it just so happens that while this factual phenomenon exists, there are indeed gods appearing in this world. They have some influence on the world through the power and rules they control. For example, they can form in a certain place

They have the magical effect of blocking out the sky and the sun, but they cannot directly affect the operation of the entire world.

Because for gods, the world is also the basis of their existence, and not all gods can live in chaos and chaos.

Therefore, the gods themselves are also promoting the formation of mythological systems among ordinary people. These conclusions are a very good thing for ordinary people who cannot access the mysterious world.

If they should see something, they can attribute the occurrence of this situation to the existence of myths and gods, and their explanation will allow them to further form their unique understanding and perception of the world, and then let this experience

A relatively mature system was formed. In this shaping process, gods also participated in it and formed an indispensable part of the content.

Because in a world where not all life is in a mythical state, and where technology is not developed, the existence of myth can become a mechanism to protect life against the indifference of reality, driven by the gods hidden behind the scenes.

, Myth can become a cultural pillar in the society of ordinary people. It supports the life of this society and faces ignorance and unknown, thus making people's lives more meaningful.

This is the so-called spiritual pillar. As the gods of a world, they have the obligation to guide ordinary people - even ordinary people without magic, to live in this world, because for gods, no matter they are wizards with magic

Or ordinary people without magic, they are not much different.

But this is not the case for ordinary people. In the era of ignorance, wizards with magic can gain a deeper understanding of the world by delving into magic. However, it is difficult for ordinary people to see the world without the help of timely science.

The true appearance of the world, and the unknown will bring many problems, such as chaos and fear. The role of myth is to stabilize chaos. While giving ordinary people spiritual faith, it brings order, controllability and a certain degree of stability.

Knowledge, in the Age of Gods and the early Dark Ages, was the result of research by wizards living on one side of the mysterious world, teaching ordinary people how to live in this world.

Unlike the deeds of gods created artificially after the Dark Ages, these mythological systems naturally derived from the mythical age can be perfectly embedded into the lives of every ordinary person.

Unlike some religions that preach that the Lord is omnipotent and supreme, in these ancient myths and stories, myths and stories linger outside of people's lives every day.

He is constantly repeating the process of creation, destruction, re-creation, and re-destruction every day. In this cycle, mythology is no longer exclusive to gods, but is involved in the self-lives of ordinary people.

This resulted in ordinary people and even wizards living in that era occasionally becoming the protagonists in a mythical story. When mysteries led society, wizards with mysterious powers were often the authorities to explain some unusual things.

.

And these wizards are often subordinates or believers of gods. Under the instruction of the superior will, they interpret these unusual events as insignificant natural phenomena like ordinary events that occur in secular life, and attribute them to

It is the influence and change of gods on the world, thus bringing gods closer to the world of ordinary people.

At this stage, the gods are not aloof. They occasionally appear in the world and act as guides to play their role. Combined with some of the classics that Jon has read, behind all this is the will of the world, which is [Deep Blue Sea]

] is driving everything to happen.

The world is developing in an upward spiral, and as the will of the entire world, He only wants the world to develop in a good direction and has no other ideas.

Jon found a research material on ancient Egyptian mythology from Joanne's collection of books. This kind of material was described and reshaped by latecomers and could only serve as an auxiliary function. Just as he was about to open it, the doorbell

Suddenly it rang.
