     Most of my readings I hope to draw from a biblical perspective on some of these readings I am most excited for the biblical readings and I am also super excited for the celtic readings as I have a little Irish in myself. One topic that I would like to read about which I am not sure how closely it relates to mythology is the book of Revelation in the Bible. I would love to write a story in my project that could use aspects of the rapture and of the end of the world as we know it.

Shaun Beck Future New York Times Bestseller Introduction

Personal Photo            Welcome to my blog for this Mythology class. My name is Shaun Beck. I am currently pursuing a degree in Professional Writing through Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communications. My current plan is to receive my Bachelor’s degree in the field of Professional Writing. I am an LGBTQ Christian male who is an advocate for LGBT people, and I am also working to change the way that people view homosexuality within the church and outside of the church. Too often there is a stigma that surrounds gay men. This stigma is one of a sexual nature and portrays gay men and women as purely sexual beings that have no love. My goal as an author is to write romance novels that represent LGBT relationships in a positive light. This positive light is to portray them in a way that true love becomes evident within the relationships in my novels. I currently have a personal website that caters to my work as an author which I will link below.  Shaun Beck

The god ruled the forests of the world while the goddess ruled the fields and the moon. There was no other creature in sight, and the deities felt lonely. The goddess spoke to the god to whom she had given birth who had grown into adulthood and said to him “Why should we not create magical creatures of our own to be able to be one with nature and to be able to harness the power of our spirits to take care of the Earth in which I am?” Thereby the god replied to the goddess who gave birth to him “I do not see why we cannot do what you might suggest. Perhaps it would be nice to be able to leave the earth with this caretaker while we continue our reign from the heavens.” The goddess replied in earnest “Oh how I long to
