Another Mythology blog/journal/thingy!

This time Isisiris24 (link: isisiris24.deviantart.com/ ) asked me for info on the Qilin.

So, I figured let's go investigate Eastern mythology!

The Kilin (or Qilin as it's also known) is part of several Eastern mythologies including China, Korea and Japan. (They're the ones I'm going to focus on later)

The name is actually from the Somali word, Geri – that means giraffe. Ages ago in the Ming Dynasty, when giraffes were brought over from Somalia, the people of China thought they were magic creatures, cause they were so odd looking. Cool huh! Despite this, Kilin/Qilin are more often look more or less like a stylised tiger with antlers – like an antelope – and scales, like a fish or dragon.  They were quite peaceful creatures and the appearance of one in a story often meant some rich traveller or a wise man was coming. However, if a pure or innocent person was about to be harmed on their watch, a Kilin/Qilin would fight fiercely to protect them (fire breathing and everything!)

The Kilin/Qilin is a good omen, bringing rui – roughly translates as peace or riches. They are said to be hooved creatures, and much like chimera ( a creature usually depicted as a hideous creature: a lion, with the head of a goat arising from its back, and a tail that ended in a snake head) they are a combination of different creatures, most often deer, dragons, ox and horses. It was also often depicted with fire all over its body. It's sometimes called the "Chinese unicorn" but this is unreliable and incorrect, a name made up by Westerners.

Over the centuries (and between cultures) the Kilin/Qilin has been portrayed differently, for instance in China Kilin/Qilin are more likely to be portrayed as a mixture of horse and dragon (usually horse body and dragon head with fire and smoke etc.) as the main animals. Where as in Korea (where it's pronounced Kirin) It's more likely to be some kind of creature with a mane, a mixture of deer, ox and horse as the main animals (The Kirin was also one of Korea's four divine creatures – the other three were the dragon, the phoenix and – wait for it – the turtle!) In Japan, the Kilin/Qilin was also pronounced Kirin (as in Korea) and Kirin now means giraffe in the Japanese language. Japanese Kirin are more deer like than the others. They also are more likely to have a unicorn-like horn (backwards and curvy).

Laters!

Hi y'all!
A little more mythology info for you. Just 'cause. C:
I was having a type-conversation with GinPhin509 ( ginphin509.deviantart.com/ ) about mythology, and they asked about the difference between mermaids and sirens.
Figured someone might be interested ...

Well, Both mermaids and sirens (originally) were dangerous female, sea beings.
Mermaids have been portrayed in a much better light of late. (Take movies like "The Little Mermaid" for instance) but originally mermaids were dangerous and mystical and not to be meddled with. Like sirens they like to call men to them, and 'keep' them. This could mean anything from eating them to drowning them for fun or, if a mermaid took a fancy to you, actually saving you, and letting you breathe underwater. They could then take you to their home. They then decided whether you were going to be their slave or husband. Or both.
A famous mermaid story is that of the goddess Sedna, in of Inuit mythology. Although versions of the story vary, they all end the same way. (Warning: this is gross) Her father takes her out in a kayak, and somehow her fingers (and sometimes whole hands) are chopped/bitten/frozen off. These dismembered fingers then become seals, whales and other sea creatures for the Inuit to hunt, and Sedna becomes the goddess of the sea, and sometimes the Underworld. Sedna was extremely feared. One of the Inuit names for her literally mean "Big Bad Woman". However, Sedna was said to show extreme kindness to those who would brush her hair for her, considering she couldn't do it herself after her incident with the kayak.
The sirens were made famous in Homer's "Odyssey." Legend was that no man could pass their island and survive, as they would be called by the beautiful siren song - the most beautiful sound in the world - and jump overboard or stir their ship into the rocks surounding the island. Either way the sailors die. It is assumed that the sirens eat their prey.
Odysseus, who the story "Odyssey" revolves around, overcame the sirens by making all his crew plug in their ears with beeswax, on the advice of a sorceress Circe. He was tied to the mast, with no beeswax, because he still wanted to hear the song.
When Odysseus heard the song, he begged his men to release him, but as they couldn't hear him, courtesy of the beeswax, they did not release him. Everyone escaped unharmed that day.
However a siren's biology is different to a mermaid's in significant ways. At least originally. Sirens were part bird part human. It was usually the top half that was human. They would have birds feet and maybe wings instead of or in addition to arms.
However, as time has gone on, the mythologies have been muddled and now sirens are also portrayed as part fishy beings.  Originally sirens were different, but now in some stories their biology has become extremely similiar to a mermaid's.

Hope that was another interesting quick Mythology 101!

So I was out getting a new book and I saw this nifty metal bookmark that had "50 Books to Read Before You Die" engraved on it and I figured why not? (My usual response to everything, don't cha know? ;P ) And I bought it.

And then I decided that maybe some other people would like to join me on the venture to read the 50 books with me ... maybe ... maybe I'm not popular enough on the internet to encourage a united reading force ...

OH WELL!

Here are the 50 books anyway!

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien
1984 by George Orwell
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
A Passage to India by E.M. Forester
The Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Hamlet by William Shakespeare
A Bend in the River by V.S. Naipaul

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
The Diary of Anne Frank by Anne Frank
Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
The Bible by Various (lol, writing all the authors would have taken up too much space, apparently, it's a small bookmark ...)
The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer
Ulysses by James Joyce
The Quiet American by Graham Greene
Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks
Money by Martin Amis
Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling (done and dusted a long time ago, but still one of my favourite series!)

The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
His Dark Materials Trilogy by Phillip Pullman
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
Alice's Adventures on Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

On the Road by Jack Kerouac
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
The Way We Live Now by Anthony Trollope
The Outsider by Albert Camus
The Colour Purple by Alice Walker (what the hell???? Weird title. Never heard of it ... intrigued ...)
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Frankenstein by Mary Shelly (Always meant to read this, now I have another reason! ha ha)
The War of Worlds by H.G. Wells
Men Without Women by Ernest Hemingway (hmmm ...)
Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift (I've never read the original story, this will be interesting)
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kensey (Oo ... I watched the film of this for R.E. ... this is gonna be sad ... :( )
Catch 22 by Joseph Heller
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas (My, my, that sounds exciting!)
Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
The Divine Comedy by Alighieri Dante
The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde

I've read a few of these before (Pride and Prejudice, To Kill a Mockingbird, Hamlet (I'm making an effort to read all his plays), Harry Potter, The Wind in the Willows, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Life of Pi and A Christmas Carol) but I'm gonna read them over again. CAUSE I CAN!

I'm also going to add a few, cause I reckon you should read these before you die.

The Last Dragon Chronicles by Chris D'Lacey
The Phoenix Files Series by Chris Morphew
Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers
The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
A Midsummer-Night's Dream by William Shakespeare
The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey (age limit 13+ - reason: adult themes)
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
Burned Alive by Souad (This last one I'm putting an age limit on as well, cause it's pretty graphic and traumatic, it's a woman's memoirs of being part of an "honour killing". I'm gonna say 14+, please adhere to it. please. )

So there you are 50 (or 57 ... he he ) books to read before you die. Join me in a quest for better literature!

Oh, and p.s. In case you were wondering, the books I was buying when I found the bookmark (remember I mentioned it before – up the top) was 4th and 5th books in the Last Dragon Chronicles – The Fire Eternal and Dark Fire -  I'm gonna finish that series before doing the 50.

Have fun reading!
