Endless Myth and Castaka
— Origins of Bloodline Mythology, Omniversal Structure, and the Expanding Jodoverse —
The novel Endless Myth and Castaka can both be understood as parts of larger cosmic mythological systems.
At the same time, Castaka occupies a foundational position within the universe created by Alejandro Jodorowsky—the so-called Jodoverse.
One represents an infinite, self-expanding omniversal structure,
while the other represents the origin point of a bloodline mythology that shapes an entire saga.
This article compares them through origin, lineage, cosmic structure, and the ongoing expansion of the Jodoverse.
1. Position in Myth: Infinite System vs. Origin Myth
Endless Myth is constructed as an infinite system from the beginning.
It expands through multiverses, higher dimensions, and omniversal layers without limit.
Castaka, however, functions as an origin story.
It depicts the beginning of the lineage that will later become The Metabarons.
In short:
Endless Myth: myth as infinite structure
Castaka: myth as origin point
2. The Jodoverse: A Connected Mythological Network
The Jodoverse is not a single work, but a network of interconnected narratives, including:
The Incal
Before the Incal
Castaka
The Metabarons
The Technopriests
Within this system, Castaka serves as the genealogical starting point of the Metabaron bloodline.
3. Bloodline vs. Structure
In Castaka, mythology is defined through lineage.
The origin of the warrior bloodline establishes a destiny that continues for generations.
In Endless Myth, mythology is defined through structure.
Existence itself expands beyond individuals, families, or even civilizations.
Thus:
Castaka: myth as lineage
Endless Myth: myth as structure
4. Scale: Family Saga vs. Cosmic System
Castaka begins at the level of a family.
Yet this family becomes the foundation of an entire cosmic saga.
Endless Myth begins at a cosmic scale.
It never relies on individuals or lineage as its primary framework.
5. Jodorowsky’s Artistic Vision: Origin as Myth
Alejandro Jodorowsky is known for transforming origins into mythology.
Castaka is not merely a prequel—it is a mythological genesis.
It turns violence, ritual, and inheritance into sacred narrative material.
This genesis then extends into The Metabarons and beyond, forming part of the larger Jodoverse.
6. Expansion of Myth: Beginning vs. Infinity
Endless Myth has no beginning or end—it is infinite by design.
Castaka defines the beginning of a mythological chain.
Yet the Jodoverse continues to expand today,
with each new interpretation or work reshaping its internal mythology.
Conclusion: Is Myth Infinite from the Start, or Born from Origins?
Endless Myth and Castaka present two different foundations of mythology:
Endless Myth: myth as pre-existing infinity
Castaka: myth as an origin that generates continuity
And the Jodoverse exists as a third model—
a mythology that continues to expand through connection and reinterpretation.
This comparison leads to a fundamental question:
Is myth something that exists infinitely from the beginning—
or something that grows endlessly from its origins?
