Myths & Samsara

history, arts, books · EN

Time, a serpent, endlessly sheds its skin. On Myths & Samsara, we trace the scales left behind—myths, stories, and forgotten echoes of Sri Lanka and the Indian subcontinent. Samsara is more than a cycle—it is a vast and unyielding landscape where gods wage wars across kalpas, mortals are reborn as monsters, and the same soul drifts through ages, wearing a hundred faces. Through the lens of Buddhist cosmology, we explore ancient tales to set the stage for historical fiction—citing old magic, reborn in new worlds. What you’ll find here: • Deep dives into Buddhist cosmology, samsara, and the six realms of existence • Myths and folklore from the Indian subcontinent and Sri Lanka, retold with reverence and imagination • World-building insights drawn from centuries of spiritual and cultural lore • A glimpse into a fantasy saga spanning ten thousand years, where the dead do not rest and time itself is a labyrinth <
