	Abrahamic mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abrahamic mythology is a term used in comparative mythology to refer to those aspects of religious belief and tradition common to the Abrahamic religions, as distinct from those of the "Pagan religions" from which most mainstream research in this field suggests they developed.
		Some Abrahamic religionists reject the categorisation of their beliefs as mythology, arguing that the term connotes untruth and has more commonly been used to refer to beliefs they regard as fiction.
		The traditional perspective of adherents of the Abrahamic faiths is that there is indeed a common source and history for the world's religions, and borrowing which has produced a shared folklore, which is a kind of shared memory of the truth, partially obscured elsewhere, but preserved in Scripture by divine revelation.

		In modern Abrahamic religions and other various mythology, Satan is generally viewed as a preternatural entity who is the central embodiment of evil.
		In Neopagan religions that have assimilated aspects of Abrahamic mythology into their own pantheons, Satan, Lucifer, and Beelzebub are often seen as distinct and separate beings who perform necessary cosmic functions.

		The only difference between scientific mythology and religious mythology are (a) method, and (b) the nature of the questions being asked.
		(Admitedly, scientific mythology has the benefit of being less dogmatic, though that is not always the case, and one could argue that dogmatists aren't in pursuit of truth anyway; they're the museum guards, rather than it's patrons).

		The towers themselves, in Abrahamic mythology, have three uses: They are places created when mankind lost the Garden of Eden (which exists in the Heavens, above Jerusalem, in this mythology) from which the archangels are directed to watch mankind in case his hubris causes God to smite him again.
		At the time the horseman are released, the towers collapse, the baddest nasties in Abrahamic mythology walk the earth and it's just a bad scene, all around.
		It's not my idea of a good scene, but it's the underlying mythology in the ceremonial magic Gardner bases his circle on, and you see this when he gives each element both a swing around the circle (as in the containment circle) and a compass point (as in Dee's protection circle).
