	Mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Mythology is the study of myths: stories of a particular culture that it believes to be true and that feature a specific religious or belief system.
		Myths are generally stories based on tradition and legend designed to explain the universal and local beginnings ("creation myths" and "founding myths"), natural phenomena, inexplicable cultural conventions, and anything else for which no simple explanation presents itself.
		However, it is important to keep in mind that while some view the Norse and Celtic pantheons as mere fable, others hold them as a religion, though the modern versions of these beliefs usually have little to no resemblance to the originals (see Neopaganism).

		In the study of mythology, folklore and religion, a trickster is a god, goddess, spirit or human hero who breaks the rules of the gods or nature, sometimes maliciously (for example, Loki) but usually with ultimately positive effects.
		In many North American Indian mythologies, the coyote spirit stole fire from the gods (or stars or sun) and is more of a trickster than a culture hero.
		This is primarily because of other stories involving the coyote spirit; Prometheus was a Titan, whereas a coyote is usually seen as a jokester and prankster.

		Narratives about gods and their deeds are referred to as myths, the study of which is mythology.

		In this view, God (Allah, Brahman, Waheguru, Elohim, etc...) is not a god or deity, and the anthropomorphic mythology and iconography associated with Him is regarded as symbolism, allowing worshippers to speak and think about something which otherwise would be beyond human comprehension.
