Writing about national parks and their connection with ancient pagan religions.

When we are thinking about the holy places of ancient pagans, we might ask, how they choose those places? What was so special in those places, and who selected them? Sometimes I have thought that maybe those ancient ritual places are somehow visible in our maps as the national parks because those places might be thought of as cursed.

National parks are usually really nice places to spend time, and some of them are near city centers. The thing is that many national parks or forests have a history as the area, where there are not many houses, and that's why those beautiful places have been protected, and people can come from the city centers for enjoying those places. But why those places have not built?

That is one very good question, and the answer could be that there are some bad stories of myths about some places. When we are thinking about the case, that some places have been so-called cursed, what that thing exactly mean? It means the "no go" zone, or area, where is not allowed to go.

Some of those stories are told for protecting people against the volcanoes, but the origin of some stories has ever found out. So if we want to track the origin of those stories, we must find out when the markings of those stories are begun, and the thing that there are no markings would also tell something about the birth of the tales.

And when we are thinking about the national or commuter memory the stories and myths are causing the bloodline of some cases, what might happen a long time ago, in the early ages of Christianity. When we are looking at the origin of those myths, people might act in some areas to their children, that they should not go to some areas, and then they created stories about some kind of monsters and wolves, which might be dangerous in real life.

But the purpose of those stories has been keeping wrong people away from the forests, where pagans made their rituals and what was holy to them. The stories are forgotten but it's possible that people still react negatively, when they are facing things, that somebody wants to go to some areas. If the fear is put in the mind of people at a very young age, they would transfer it to the next generations, because that kind of things causes reflex, that the prohibiting of things is very rough.

And that causes fear, which will transfer to children over the generations. But what might be the secret in the forest, what causes that kind of reaction, what is still visible in the maps? The thing is that the ancient pagans might think that some kind of place was holy to them, and they wanted to keep people out of those places.

When the new religion Christianity turns the ancient pagan religions away, there was a short period, when those religions were influenced by people at the same time. And in that situation, there were made contracts, which might not be wanted to show either to Vatican or local people.

The force or sword mission was possible when the military force was behind the priests and secular authorities turned to support the mission. As you might see, that Christianity was not always been the top religion in the world. And in the 1st to 14th century AD, the forming of the church has just begun. So at that time many books and writings are lost. And that means that part of those centuries are called as dark or "phantom time" because some noblemen destroyed their relationship with old religions.
