ABSTRACT

Myth has crystallised into magical formulæ, and bears testimony to the authenticity of myth. It gives a full character sketch of the hero as a daring sailor and adventurer, the second part of the story, the hero endowed again with magical powers far superior to those of the present-day wizards. Close behind it, two islands, Tewara and Uwama, the mythical straits of Kadimwatu. There is a village make gardens on both islands, has no commercial or industrial importance, but is notable because of its mythological associations. As we return to our party, who sailing past the mythical centre of Tewara, make for the island of Sanaro'a, the first thing to be related about them, brings us straight to another mythological story. To understand this association better, it must be realised that similar offerings are given in certain forms of magic to ancestral and to spirits of Kultur heroes, who have founded the institution in which the magic is practise.
