The text implies that I have to personally set aside what is realistic, to explore the world as if it is “inherently magical” in order to completely understand what myths can represent. I will have to accept that the fairy tales have morals of love and sex and how they originated to form an outline of ageless rules to follow. Time does not disregard the existence of truth in the myth, but how it is interpreted. As well as how every mind can think the same no matter what placement it has in the world or what culture it was raised in. Mythology can have a self evident truth even without factual proof, and being open minded allows for that truth to be possible.
