Magical myths and marvels are found in cultures all around the world. These stories and legends capture the imagination and transport us to a world of enchantment and wonder. From ancient tales of gods and goddesses to modern urban legends, there is no shortage of magical stories to captivate us. In Greek mythology, there are countless magical myths and marvels. The story of Pandora's Box, for example, tells of a woman who opens a forbidden box and unleashes all the evils of the world. This myth serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of curiosity and the consequences of our actions.

Those of an older generation might remember her better as Mammy Yokum, the scrappy matriarch of Li'l Abner. Hayes played the character, which was born in the popular newspaper comic strips, both on stage and in the 1959 film. Here she is in character.

She became such an icon in a shockingly short amount of time Pufnstuf only aired for 17 episode that Hayes essentially played iterations of the same character on other shows. Following a couple of guest appearances on episodic TV in 1967 including a Mammy Yokum-type matriarch in the Hillbilly Honeymoon episode of The Monkees Hayes endeared herself to a generation of glued-to-the-tube Saturday morning viewers in 1969 as the eccentrically costumed, ever-cackling and always bumbling Witchiepoo full name Wilhelmina W.

This myth serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of curiosity and the consequences of our actions. In Norse mythology, the story of Thor's hammer is a marvel in itself. Thor, the god of thunder, wields a mighty hammer called Mjolnir, which gives him his immense power.

Series / H.R. Pufnstuf

First in a long line of surreal and sometimes disturbing offerings from Sid and Marty Krofft Productions. The show premiered in 1969 and was rerun until 1971. To get an idea as to what you're in for, we turn to VH1's "I Love the '70s" show, and their description of H.R. Pufnstuf:

Greg Proops: "So, the deal with H.R. Pufnstuf is, Sid and Marty Krofft did a lot of drugs back in the '70s when they were given a TV show. "

For a more technical description, read on.

Jimmy (Jack Wild), a young boy with a British accent and a speech impediment, is abducted by the sinister and disturbingly Oedipal witch Wilhelmina W. Witchiepoo (Billie Hayes) in a gambit to snatch his magical talking golden flute. Her plan involves tricking both boy and flute into riding inside a boat that at first looks lovely and inviting, then turns sinister and violent. Yes, really.

But Pufnstuf was watching too, and knew exactly what to do.

Jimmy is rescued by H.R. Pufnstuf (voiced by Lennie Weinrib), a large dragon muppet who serves as mayor of Living Island, a bizarre place where everything, even the trees, are "alive". (Yes, we know. Here "living" basically means "anthropomorphic" or "sentient".)

The short series (17 episodes aired) followed the adventures of Jimmy, Puf and Freddie [the flute], as they made several attempts to smuggle Jimmy off the island while staying clear of Witchiepoo and her henchmen. A film version, featuring guest stars Martha Raye and Cass Elliot, appeared in 1970, a year after the show's premiere.

To say that H.R. Pufnstuf was disturbing is like saying the ocean is wet. There is just something almost seductively creepy about the whole thing, from Jimmy's constant prancing and the vaguely homoerotic relationship among boy, flute, and full-bodied puppet, to the bizarrely twisted maternal figure of the witch, to the generally drug-induced artistic design of the costumes and sets. This is not a show to watch sober.

As a historical note, the basic design and characters of McDonald's "McDonaldland" commercials were blatantly plagiarized from H.R. Pufnstuf in 1971 after Sid & Marty Krofft refused to license the Pufnstuf characters for use in a McDonald's commercial campaign. The Kroffts sued in 1973, and won the case in 1977. For more information, see this article at Cecil Adams' The Straight Dope, or this one at coolcopyright.com. However, the Kroffts themselves were sued by the singer-songwriter Paul Simon who argued successfully in court that the show's Theme Song sounded too much like his song, "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)," and the court settlement included Simon getting a mention in the credits.

This myth showcases the incredible strength and bravery of the gods and their ability to overcome any obstacle. Moving to ancient Egypt, we find the myth of Isis and Osiris, which is filled with magical elements. In this myth, Isis uses her magical powers to resurrect her husband Osiris after he is killed by his jealous brother Set. This story highlights the power of love and the belief in the afterlife. Magical myths and marvels are not limited to ancient times, however. In modern times, we have urban legends such as the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot. These myths capture the imagination and continue to fascinate people around the world. Despite the lack of concrete evidence, the belief in these creatures persists, adding an air of mystery and enchantment to the world we live in. So whether it's the gods of ancient Greece or the legendary creatures of today, magical myths and marvels continue to spark our imagination and transport us to a world of enchantment. These stories offer us an escape from reality and remind us of the power of imagination and wonder..
