According to scholar Joseph Campbell: Four purposes of myth:

1. To instill a sense of awe toward the mysteries of the universe.

2. To explain the workings of the natural world.

3. To support and validate social customs. “ Mythology defines a culture's perceptions of the world and reality, and the meaning behind the actions and symbols represented throughout daily life.” –(Gill, S. D. Native American Religions, An Introduction)

4. To guide people through the trials of living.
