Marine Self-Concept Potential in the Worldview of a Closed Nature Cycle

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses a primal relationship with the sea. On the level of the oldest pagan worldview, this relationship is characterized as a closed nature cycle and a perception of personal worth. The relationship with the sea is special and relevant from a scientific, cultural, and educational point of view. Despite the reverent fear of gods, the pagan worldview and attitudes provided an opportunity to go to sea and experience an ambivalent tension full of conflicting feelings, natural fear, traditional mythological images, tribal obedience, and creative determination. Combining maritime activities with sea-gods provided reasons for a personal self-concept, as well as for natural personal and tribal needs and interests.
