Basque mythology is the cultural and religious beliefs of the Basque people, an ethnic group native to the Basque Country, the region straddling the border of Spain and France. Basque mythology reflects a rich tradition that dates back thousands of years, with influences from prehistoric pagan religions, and other cultural exchanges.
The Basque people have a deep connection to nature, with gods and goddesses focused on various elements such as water, fire, and the earth. One of the most prominent characters in Basque mythology is Mari, the goddess of nature and fertility. Mari is often depicted as a beautiful woman living in caves or pools of water, and she is connected to the underworld and the afterlife.
Basque mythology also features a range of supernatural creatures, such as the jentilak, giant beings who are associated with the construction of megaliths across the region.
Another important facet of Basque mythology is the existence of spirits and divinities associated with various elements of daily life, such as houses, wells, and caves.
Basque mythology also includes a rich range of folktales and legends, including tales of Basajaun, the spirit of the woods, and other stories that have been retold for generations.
The Basque people have a unique relationship with their mythology, with many of these beliefs still being practiced and celebrated in modern times. Basque mythology is an essential aspect of Basque culture and continues to be a source of inspiration for art, literature, and music. Through their mythology, the Basque people demonstrate their deep connection to nature, respect for their ancestors, and a belief in the enduring power of myth and legend.
