The Edhli-menning is a drygand-- a chimaera. It is a growth out of need, an organic growth, something new and strange. It is an inwyrdhing of the Edhli-mind, a dream-work, an immynd-welling. It is a bildung of the Wolken in the minds of the Alfar. It is a falling-together of many far-come elements to fit in a samrade gestalt. It is a mystery, a wonder, it is hope.
Edhli-menning= the future ecological civilization.
Chimaera= a creature assembled from the parts of various other creatures into a coherently functional whole.
Inwyrdhing= a centripetal evolution.
Immynd= the visionary imagination.
Bildung= development.
Wolken= the evolved biospherical Being.
Alfar= the post-human hominid.
Samrade= united, harmonious.
Gestalt= a combination of parts in a holistic pattern.
The Shaggy Mythos is evolving Deep Ecology religion, creative intuitive as well as rational intellectual, which draws on worldwide mythology and folklore as well as scholarly labors of thought, to uncover and reveal the truth of things. Herein you will learn of Feorgen of the Wyke, the Drygand and his Lode, the Searuvel and Dilgoth, and of the Menning and its Menschen, who all play their part in the titanic struggle of our time to save the Biosphere and thus ourselves-as-Ecological-Self.

The Three Stages of Civilization
The ethos of the first stage is a naive, fuzzy-minded Monism (=holism) which is metaphorical and mythic and superstitious. It seeks stability, balance, and harmony.
The ethos of the second stage is a sophisticated, sharp-minded Dualism which is literalistic and rationalizing and nihilistic. It seeks progress and power.
These two stages are often found together in some kind of hybrid proportion.
The ethos of the third stage is a sophisticated, subtle-minded Monism of Ecology, which seeks an optimal, balanced relationship between the elements of the two earlier stages with preservation of the Ecosphere the guiding principle. Such a civilization is called the Edhli-menning.

The Three Rynisch Wealds of the Ferth
(word-meanings at end)
The Sowel is like a dark sun within, that seats in the deep marrow, the ground of being and feeling. The Sowel heats the Innoth, seeps its warmth to all the nooks within, and is seen only as it sets things alight in the inner dark, which then glow in rich hues. The Sowel makes the Ferth to glow with warmth and farben of feeling-being.
Guyst is like the crackling one feels before a spark shoots forth. It is tingling nenning, sharp and light. It crackles, flickers, runs-through, fills one. And it can come into one from without, from the luft or the ground, or from within, spreading or shooting.
Samen is the shining mist, the glowing life-flowoth that enlivens, and begets life. Its cool flow streams, roils, drenches the whole Life-world, and it builds in the Ferth, it bathes the Innoth and feeds the means of growth.
Rynisch Wealds= mysterious powers.
Ferth= psyche, soul, person.
Sowel
Farben= colors.
Guyst= spirit-energy.
Nenning= energy.
Luft= air.
Samen= life-fluid(flowoth).
Life-world= Biosphere.

Troth to Edhlifrith!
(word-meanings at end)
Edhlifrith is the mynt of the Wolken: to seek heolorth and stadhol of the Web of Life woven of the Three Kingdoms of Wyrtcynren, Dyrcynren, and Rotcynren.
As the Wolken has grown in knowledge and wisdom, it has seen the threat of Gumenn to the Verden. And so the Drygand was made strong and cunning and sent to range the lands and waters, watching for harm wreaked by Guman Wargs and Args upon the Webwork. And where he could he fought this, with the help of the Alfar, those Frith-keepers, Loden-kynechts, who well know their lands and waters.
And in our time, as the threat to our Green Verden has grown, and much of our Klode has become Wasteland, and the more likely that our Erkan Edhli will fall, it is ever more of need that worthy Menschen heed the Alf-call, and rise to Alfhad to fight these Earth-forraeders who hold no troth to the Holy Verden that has borne and bears them, and to make a New Menning for Mankind that will let the Edhli wyrdhe its way unharmed and free. Troth to Edhlifrith!
Edhlifrith='Nature-peace', protection of Nature.
Mynt= intention.
Wolken= the Nature-mind.
Heolorth= balance.
Stadhol= stability.
Wyrtcynren= the Plants.

Args= base, inert humans.
Alfar= the Edhli-folk.
Loden-kynechts= Knights of the Lode-stone.
Klode= planet.
Erkan= precious, marvelous.
Mensch= person.
Alfhad= being Alfar.
Forraeder= traitor.
Menning= civilization.
Wyrdhe= unfold, evolve.
