The black color in mythology

2 min readDec 30, 2014

I’ve always wondered why people automatically show negative reactions when it comes to anything associated with black — whether it’s objects, clothing, or animals. What is the reason behind this fear that many of us have? Sunday is a “black” day, ravens are a sign of death, seeing an owl is misfortune, black cats and dogs bring jinx, and wearing black means you’re sad or depressed. The list goes on…

If anything bad is meant to happen, it will happen anyway, and that’s something beyond our control. There’s no such thing as “bad signs.” There’s always silence before a storm, and even in the hottest days of summer, it can rain sometimes.

The source of these ignorant beliefs comes from a lack of intelligence and knowledge. It’s like saying, “I make mistakes because I’m human,” but as humans, we have brains to use before we make those mistakes. That’s what makes us different from other creatures.

These false ideas have traveled through the centuries, passed down from one generation to another, until they became part of our daily lives.

It’s sad to know that black animals are considered less adoptable simply because of their color. God created everything for a purpose, so there’s no need to panic or jump to misleading conclusions.

These superstitions seriously need to vanish forever, and we must think more rationally about them. Following this outdated thinking and applying it won’t lead us anywhere. I believe that every color is essential and unique. It doesn’t define what’s good or bad but symbolizes something specific.

Black is simply badass — fierce, sexy, classy, bold, and powerful, all in one package ☺ Without black, no color has any depth!
