Agrarian mythology

Agrarian mythology refers to the body of beliefs and narratives that arise from agricultural societies, reflecting their relationship with the land, nature, and the cycles of planting and harvesting. These myths often feature deities, spirits, or legendary figures that symbolize fertility, growth, and the bounty of the earth. They emphasize themes such as the struggle for survival, seasonal change, and the interconnectedness of life. Agrarian mythology serves to explain natural phenomena, instill cultural values, and unite communities around shared practices and rituals tied to agriculture and the stewardship of the land.
