Tungkol sa may-akda
Lewis Spence (1874-1955) was a Scottish journalist, folklorist, and prolific author whose works delved into mythology, the occult, and ancient civilizations. Born in Forfar, Scotland, Spence's early career was marked by his contributions to journalism, but he soon found his true calling in the exploration of myths and legends. His fascination with the mystical and the arcane led him to produce an extensive body of work that sought to preserve and interpret the folklore of various cultures.Spence's writings were revolutionary for their time, as they challenged the prevailing academic skepticism towards mythological studies. He was a pioneer in treating myths not merely as fanciful tales but as windows into the collective psyche and historical experiences of ancient peoples. His works often bridged the gap between scholarly research and popular interest, making complex ideas accessible to a broader audience.One of the more intriguing aspects of Spence's career was his involvement with the occult. He was a member of the Theosophical Society and the Scottish Anthropological and Folklore Society, where he mingled with other intellectuals who shared his interest in the esoteric. This association sometimes led to controversies, as critics often questioned the scientific rigor of his work. Nevertheless, his contributions to the study of mythology and folklore have had a lasting impact, influencing contemporary writers and researchers who continue to explore these fields.Spence's legacy is one of curiosity and dedication to uncovering the hidden stories of humanity. His work remains a testament to the enduring power of myth and the importance of preserving cultural heritage.
