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 Ecological Archetype
The Drygand is the Ecological Archetype, the new God-idea for a world on the brink, with a prospect of terrible fate. He is a synthesis of previous gods (archetypes), according to the Value-idea of Deep Ecology, in itself a synthesis of thesis-- the primeval chthonic ethos of Man's embeddedness in and dependence upon Nature-- and its antithesis-- the dualist civilizational ethos of humanist distinctiveness and independence from Nature-- resulting in an evolutionary final ethos of Man as heroic protector of Nature, ensuring its survival and freedom from human interference, to wend its evolutionary Wyrd.. The Drygand, the avatar of Deep Ecology consciousness, embodies this transcendent Idea which offers hope for Life on Earth.
