Translation: Nalan Özkan Lecerf

1. A Myth forms the Story of the actions of Supernatural Beings;
2. This Story is considered absolutely real (because it is about the truth) and sacred (because it was created by Supernatural Beings);
3. The myth is always about a “creation”, it tells how something came to life, or how a behavior, an institution, a way of working was created; this is why myths form samples of every meaningful human-specific action;
4. Knowing the myth human also knows the “source” of objects and because of this he/she can rule and direct them as wished; here we don’t talk about a knowledge which is from “outside” or “abstract”, but from a knowledge which is necessarily “experienced” (because the myth is told in a ceremonial atmosphere or a ritual is done as a proof of it);
5. In one way or another a person “lives”the myth again, by the sacred, enthusiastic power of its events which make the myth being remembered and realized again.
6.
