Crodur's hyperfocus stash

We have already discussed a great deal of Selk’nam tenets, looking back! There’s still a lot to talk over if we want to fully understand how they viewed the world, and their own kin. Today, we will talk about how their society organized, but specially about how they viewed and treated both genders, and even the reasons they gave towards following their own status quo from a mythological…

Hello, everyone! I’m making this post to address several important points that concern this site, it’s future, and how I’ll be working on it in the near and long-term future. My first reason to write this: To show I’m alive and kicking. Yes, I still check the site daily, and I also keep researching new content, cultures, folklore, mythology and the like. As a matter of fact, I can tell you I…

Note for subscribers.: Finally, a new entry regarding the Selk’nam! To those of you subscribed to our website, you may have received a message showing this article, as if already published. That seemed to be an error; an incomplete version that was sadly uploaded by accident before ending up complete. Apologies for that blunder! This is the full revised version, more thoroughly investigated. Hope…

In previous entries about Selk’nam culture, we discussed their origins, their creation mythos, and recalled the mythical past of some of their Howenh1. This article will be about other, very important part of their cosmology, this time related to humanity, and what’s their place amidst this vast spiritual world. We will talk about the role the average (Selk’nam) human takes in this world, and…

Hello, to anyone invested in Crodur and reading the articles. I am afraid there will be a small delay until the next one is published. It pains me to communicate this, but many issues (most of them my fault, let’s not beat around the bush) arised. As a little spoiler, the next article was on Hells and Heavens series, this time featuring the Tuonela of the Finnic mythology. Unfortunately, the…

A new series I decided to start while I gather content for the other ones1, focused entirely in afterlifes, hells, heavens and other planes of existence for the death that cultures from all the world ideated through the ages. In every part of this section, we will cover an specific civilization’s Underworld(s), what they consisted of, who went there and why, and what could one expect in those…

The Hopi are a very interesting group of Native Americans that I have been hearing about lately, and after skimming through some information about their culture and way of living, they quickly have caught my interest, to the point that I decided I will dedicate a series of articles covering most of what I find worth mentioning, just like I did with the Selk’nam people. As always, I’ll dedicate…

Hello again, to any readers that may have missed our site activity. I’m happy to confirm that, after a (frankly sudden) break of two months, Crodur is up and going once more. Hooray! Live Pakal the Great reaction to Crodur resuming it’s activities It’s been a while! Abandoning this site (even if briefly) has gotten me a little bit discouraged, especially after having racked up over 10 different…

Sorry, I have a lot going on IRL and sometimes finding time to investigate, find sources (apart from Wikipedia...) and build a semi readable piece of information is too much.

At the absolute worst I'll bring new stuff right before the end of the year. After all, I'm still paying for the domain, gotta give it use!

A recurring joke among those interested in classic History (such as myself) exists around the Roman and Greek mythos, specially how the later are depicted as an original creation, made by the Hellas1 natives, and/or immigrant waves that eventually settled in, and the Romans just… claimed it as their own, slapped a couple names on the acquired Gods and… that’s it, a new religion emerged! The…

CIVILIZATIONS THAT COUNTED TO A MILLION

Ever wondered which peoples across the world reached the number one million on their calculus, and how did they display it? Many cultures have done it on their own, and this text briefly glosses over some of them.

Of course, I couldn't mention all of them, but there's 5 of them listed and explained!

Third part. Also corrected the second one a little bit since some details were off. Everything is alright now!

In the previous articles regarding Selk’nam peoples, we explored a -somewhat rushed- summary of their past and major contacts with the world, and then the basics of their mythology, and we even dropped the name of their most important god, Temáukel, along with the mythical ancestors or Howehn. Let’s talk about them with a little more detail! Temáukel: The supreme being Temáukel is the name the…

In future articles, I will also ditch the bold lettering to put emphasis on words. It becomes a little bit distracting, or even patronizing (as if I'm grabbing the reader by their hand and telling them where to focus).
