Oral teaching or storytelling – Continuation
The Pagan worshipers and their oral tradition:
The word Oral means: to use the mouth to speak as an oracle or spokes man, who is deriving his inspiration of speech from the spiritual beings or realm that governs the systematic habits of his or her traditions.
But also this word oral means; to administer or to transmit spiritual traits, images, ideas, instructions, influence or inspiration through the ability of speaking with the mouth.
When the pagan stories that structured the customs and the traditions of the pagans were being passed down through storytelling, these stories also contained a spiritual environment of negative energies or unclean spirits, that had the ability to inspired and influence the listeners in a negative way.
For example: through oral storytelling, the story tellers invoked and gave spiritual authority to the negative forces, or evil spiritual powers via the exaggeration, and the over expression that they used to express the images, and the characters that were in their stories.
Scary stories (fables and fairy tales) that were ignorantly used for the sake of making their children into a character of well behaved manners, these same stories became a description of a spiritual reality that governs the spiritual world of the demonic unclean beings, gods, deities, or spirits, which took over the children’s ability to think, to visualize, to imagine, to fantasize, and to dream through the stories that were spoken orally.
