The Symbolism of the Woods in Fairy Tales

You are right. Some animals are more often used as representatives of the evil. In case of Grimms' fairy tales they can be called just 'beasts' (like in Hansel and Gretel or Snow White). This means the wolf, the fox, and the bear being mostly in negative roles. This is not a hard rule. In Snow White and Rose Red we can find the bear as a positive character (except for the killing of the evil dwarf) and an eagle in negative role.

Review: Home: A Time Traveller's Tales from Britain's Prehistory

Strange, I was thinking of this issue this morning.Elites are ways in which powerful groups establish privilege. They tend to be male because to put it simply, males have the muscle. This is immoral, but what can be done about it.

Review: Home: A Time Traveller's Tales from Britain's Prehistory

The third paragraph to the first subheading, Bottom-up and top-down narratives, advises us that "His is a view that is more fair to women than the top down view,for as we know elites have tended to be male, and in their history women are seen as being of secondary importance, rather like ornaments or hangers on, but in Pryor's attitude to history, which studies ordinary life, women and ordinary men are the main subject, and are seen as the engine of change throughout history,making decisions and working collectively towards their goals."

Some ancient religions deferred to a mother goddess.

Why is it that a woman power-holder worked as a deity but not as ruling elites? Might mother-goddess religions have been in the minority in all places, throughout all times?

Flora of the Tides: edible seaweeds

Its taste is salty, but it is said to be very pure.

Flora of the Tides: edible seaweeds

Thank you for your comment below on Jan. 21, 2021, in answer to my previous observation and question Jan. 20, 2021.

Online sources extol Halen Môn ("salt Anglesey" literally) as organic and uncluttered by other ingredients.

Might it have a distinct taste or -- ;-{ -- might all salts basically have one, similar salty scent, taste, texture?

How To Buy A Golden Retriever Puppy?

The film The art of racing in the rain acquaints us with a golden retriever adopted by a race-car driver.

The race-car driver calls his adoptee Enzo (for Ferrari). Enzo comes along to race-car competitions. He enjoys watching race-car films, news and segments on television because Denny instructs Enzo's two front paws in driving moves, such as braking and wheel-turning.

Apart from a derogatory reference to twins and Enzo once unkindly getting called "bad" and "stupid" dog, it's a lovely film.

Might you have seen it?

The Symbolism of the Woods in Fairy Tales

The in-text image to the first subheading, Innocence, acquaints us with Snow White and Rose Red associating with forest animals.

The three animal types boast a deer, a long-eared squirrel and rabbits. Can those animals be considered as configuring the "lovely" woodsy side.

Do fairy tales depict certain animals as "darker side" animals? Who might such "darker side" animals be? Wolves and who else?

No, he never returned. As far as I know, there is no version with surviving kids or any additional info about the bad guys (don't forget the uncle).

Conceptions of God in World Religions

We have Christians praying to one person ofbthe Trinity, but theologically this is an error. The Trinity works as one united being. We should pray to the United three persons.

Growing in confined spaces

Yes.

I saw some examples of confined growing today, but more of that in the next article

A Flower Show, a gold medal and a mini-tornado

Yes. Spring is associated with geese migrating north, and swallows and swifts coming the same route. Cuckoos are linked to spring, even though cuckoos are becoming scarce.

I went to the Tatton show today. I have begun working on the article, but it is not long before 9 O'clock and so I am about to close down for the night.

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Area Unitedstatesians associate black cherry, Eastern tiger swallowtails, fireflies, forsythia, robins, serviceberry, spring-peeping frogs, tent caterpillars among spring-indicative wild-sentient presences.

Does the British Isles -- beyond greening landscapes and warming temperatures -- not have such traditional associations?

So mullein flowers and leaves can be eaten even as mullein seeds cannot!

Might mullein flowers and leaves mix with fruits and greens in fresh salads?

Conceptions of God in World Religions

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

It appeals to me to associate all miracles with God. Is that God in Godly entirety or is it sometimes God the Father or God the Son or God the Holy Spirit?
