Christianity is just another form of Mythology when all said and done .. I prefer spirituality and I do love the stores of maritime regardless of the culture sharing them . Myths and legends have made this world that we know and in the end nobody really knows the truths to them all ..
I think Joseph Campbell said it well when he referenced religions to be like programs and people to be like computers , as not all are compatible at reading multiple programs or even one .. I was born and raised in a spiritual realm of belief with no religion to condemn my heart and soul or torture my worldly mind .
I ll add a story here in addition to the interesting ones posted by Buckaroo .. This one is about the Underwater Panther who lives in the Great Lakes , for this has been in our culture and beliefs for ages untold .. We call him Mishipeshu The Great Lynx ..
Great cats are usually not thought of as especially good swimmers, much less water dwellers. But one of the major players in the creature lore of North America's Ojibwe Ottawa and Cree people is Mishipeshu, the great water lynx or water panther. Its name has been spelled in myriad ways due to its wide territory, and descriptions can vary, but these tribes believed it to be the special guardian of the ancient copper mines of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Its home was Michipicoten Island, and taking any of the pure chunks of copper ore from that island was considered strictly taboo. One oft-repeated story is of four Ojibwe who tried to steal copper from Mishipeshu, only to be followed home by the screaming water panther. The trip was fatal for all four thieves.
The curse of Mishipeshu continued as Europeans discovered the fortune in copper nuggets on the Upper Peninsula in the mid-1800s. Ships carrying copper would capsize in sudden storms, such as the one that sank the Algoma in 1885 with 45 people aboard. The storms, the Ojibwe believed, were stirred purposely by Mishipeshu. Ten ships were sunk in the area of Isle Royale alone.
Underwater Panther, sometimes called eature originates from Native American mythology particularly the Odawa, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi nations around the Great Lakes area of the US and Canada.
Underwater Panthers are considered to be water monsters, and have various descriptions and personality traits depending on the legend. The beast can take a variety of forms... the body of a wild feline (lynx or mountain lion), the horns of a deer or bison with upright scales on its back and occasionally feathers. They usually have extremely long tails, and hiss or roar. They are said to live in the darkest, deepest parts of lakes or rivers and can cause storms.
PerMishipeshu is not alone in his quest to guard the sacred copper. Mishi Ginabig, a serpent-like creature that bore antler-like horns and measured the same length as the tallest pine trees, was reportedly spotted in the Great Lakes area in the early 1800s. Both Mishipeshu and Mishi Ginabig are enemies of the great Thunderbird, a spirit-being in the shape of a giant bird, which battles them to restore balance between powers of the water and of the air.
