Punta Cana Think To Do

Christmas, Yule and the Winter Solstice

For the Christian Church, December 25 is associated with the celebrations of the birth of Christ, but in the folk tradition is an amalgam of pagan festivals and traditions, dating back long before the birth of Christ.

For our ancestors, the shortest day of the year (December 21) has always represented the lowest point of the year, but also the day of rebirth of the Sun (Sol Invictus Latin), which gradually took over more and more force culminating in the apotheosis of the Summer Solstice. Many ancient standing stones, stone circles and other megalithic monuments are aligned with the sunrise on December 21. The example most famous is the complex Newgrange, Ireland , where the dawn of the solstice, a ray of sunlight shining, long dark entry, filtering by a narrow opening above the entrance of the monument and illuminating the room Central. Other sites have an array corresponding to the rising of the sun at the Summer Solstice, which makes us understand the importance attached by the ancients to those dates.
The Yule log
Yule is the traditional name given to the period of the celebrations around December 25th, a feast lasting twelve days, which are now The Twelve Days of Christmas. The origin of the word Yule seems to derive from an Anglo-Saxon concepts pertaining to the "Sun" and "Light." In many places, bonfires and candles were lit and left burning throughout the twelve days that related to the festivities. Another tradition is connected to the fire of the Yule log, of course, also known as "Yule log". Normally, this strain was of oak (sacred tree par excellence) and his ashes and charred remains, seemed to have the power to ward off fire and lightning, and then became talismans of profit. The ashes also seemed that if scattered over a field would ensure a good harvest in years a venire. I resti del ceppo, venivano anche conservati per poter poi alimentare il fuoco che avrebbe arso il ceppo dell’anno seguente, in modo tale da “consacrare” il fuoco e trasferire i poteri benevoli al nuovo ceppo. Probabilmente tutto il folklore riguardante il ceppo di Yule/Natale deriva direttamente dagli antichi falò sacri delle celebrazioni solstiziali.
Molti dei simboli del Natale sono echi dei suoi antichi aspetti di rinascita e di speranza, di fine imminente del periodo di oscurità. L’agrifoglio è un simbolo importate in questo contesto, vista la sua proprietà di avere le foglie sempre verdi sia in estate che nel pieno dei rigori invernali, come a significare che la scintilla vitale e feconda dell’estate è presente, anche se assopita, anche nel pieno dell’inverno. L’agrifoglio è inoltre considerata un simbolo maschile, come l’edera è considerata femminile. Per questo motivo ghirlande intrecciate di queste due piante ornavano le abitazioni anche in tempi molto antichi, come simboli augurali di fertilità per la nuova stagione luminosa che stava per arrivare.
C'era anche la convinzione che le piante e gli alberi sempreverdi fossero rifugi per gli Spiriti bosco durante i rigidi mesi invernali. L'albero di Natale potrebbe essere una specie di simbolo “superstite” di queste credenze.
Il vischio è un'altra pianta associata a questo periodo dell’anno. Sacro ai druidi, si può far tranquillamente risalire il suo valore simbolico agli antichi Celti, anche se il suo significato originario appare oggi piuttosto nebuloso, anche se quasi certamente collegato anch’esso alla fertilità ( da cui la credenza che porti fortuna alle coppie baciarsi sotto a un rametto di vischio).
Il 25 dicembre era considerato dai Romani il giorno di nascita del dio Mitra (che però era originario dell’Asia Minore) divinità solare che con la propria nascita poneva fine alla parte oscura dell’anno (la già citata ricorrenza del Sol Invictus)e festeggiavano i Saturnalia in onore di Saturno e Dioniso. I primi cristiani utilizzarono la data del 25 dicembre come nascita di Cristo solo intorno al 3° o 4° secolo, quando uscirono dalla clandestinità. The decision to use this data derives from the religious significance that this time of year for many forms of religion, and therefore easily comparable to the newly converted more understandable anchor nurtured pagan community.

At the level of personal consideration, I believe that the success of the Christian religion is precisely due to his modus operandi, or engulf ancient rituals and celebrations, ineradicable folklore. Fortunately, the ancient beliefs have never died.

Water Toys From The 80's

Loughcrew (Sliabh na Caille)

Sliabh na Caille, the Mountain Witch. This is also known in Gaelic Loughcrew the site, west of the town of Kells and the south of Oldcastle, County Meath. As part of a large portion of the mountains and hills, extending in an area of \u200b\u200babout 4 km, the area of \u200b\u200bLoughcrew is literally strewn with ancient monuments. On top of each peak is a Cairns Group closed chamber and, originally, there were probably about 40 monuments in total.

This site was probably dedicated to the goddess, which became, in Christian times, a witch named Garavogue. A legend narra di come i cumuli di pietre presenti sul territorio, siano caduti dal grembiule della strega quando questa saltò un bel giorno in vetta alla collina.
Le colline principali sono: Cairnbane a ovest, Sliabh na Caillì al centro e Patrickstown a Est. Esisteva anche almeno un cumulo di pietre su una quarta collina, chiamata Sliabh Rua o Carrigbrack. Tutti i siti di Loughcrew sono edificati ad una quota approssimativa di 200 m di altezza, e il punto più alto del complesso è la cima del Cairn T, a quota 276 m sul livello del mare.
Sette monumenti rimangono a Sliabh na Caillí, la vetta più alta e centrale. Il Cairn T, la struttura principale è in buone condizioni, con tetto and the burial chamber intact, while others are in various states of degradation, due to the removal of the stones in the past, as a material used by the locals.
On top of Cairbane West there are fifteen monuments, including the Cairn L in fair condition, although it was restored in 1930 with a concrete roof, and the Cairn D, the most impressive, but unfortunately devastated by reckless searches archaeological sites of the 19th Century, sealed today.
The site is in worse condition Patrickstown the eastern hill, the 21 monuments have been heavily looted over the centuries, and of which there are only three structures, including a wonderful stone calendar.
Let's look at the most important structures of Sliabh na Caille:

The Cairn T

Cairn T
From the parking lot, after a short but steep walk to the summit of the hill, where it immediately raises the Cairn T. From the very top of the mound, as already mentioned is the highest peak of Loughcrew, you can enjoy a magnificent view, which some days seems limpinde areas in 18 counties, definitely one of the best vantage points in all of Ireland! The Cairn T is in excellent condition but is not complete, it lacks the key to the inner chamber, acting on a metal grid and the coating of quartz, similar to Newgrange, which was unfortunately removed over the centuries and more restored. A circle of 38 kerbstones defines the mound.



Hag's Chair
On the north side of the mound we can find a large kerbstone two "horns", from the vague shape of a seat. In fact the stone is called the "Seat of the Witch" (the Hag's Chair). According to local folklore, the stone sits normally Garavogue to observe the night sky. The stone seems to be aligned with the North Star. The folk tradition also says that a large plate, carved in a block of quartz, filled with human bones to be buried near the seat of the Witch, but to date has not yet been found. The seat is carved a cross, in addition to the Christian era, as was the custom to do to "consecrate" places of the Old Religion still rooted in the imagination of the people. The remains of six small mounds surrounding the Cairn T.


engravings on the wall of the passage

The Cairn T is closed by a gate, but its interior can be visited by requiring the key to Loughcrew Garden Tea House, on the south side of the hill, leaving a small deposit or a document (driver's license or passport are fine) as collateral. Just entered in the barrow, the visitor is immediately faced with engraved stones entrambi i lati del passaggio. Una delle più belle caratteristiche di Loughcrew è l'abbondanza di antiche incisioni, che possono tranquillamente venire considerate tra le più antiche forme di arte visuale di tutta l’Irlanda. tra la prima scrittura in questo paese. Procedendo verso l’interno incontriamo una pietra di notevoli dimensioni eretta verticalmente a separare il passaggio dalla camera centrale. La camera si presenta con la classica forma a croce, tipica delle tombe a passaggio irlandesi.
Sliabh na Caillí Equinox Stone
Il Cairn T di Loughcrew è, probabilmente, uno degli the oldest buildings still standing in the world, seeing that the dates could make it back about 4000 years before Christ. According to the Classima cross shape, unfold from the central three smaller rooms, oriented to the south, west and north. The main wall to the west of the environment is richly carved with motifs similar to those found at other sites in County Meath (Newgrange and Knowth), called "Sliabh na Caille Equinox Stone", on which are the pits that are to appear indicate the progressive shift of the point where the light fell during the equinoxes.

Cairn U


Camera centrale CairnU

Cairn U

Il Cairn U è il primo monumento che si para davanti al visitatore appena oltrepassa il cancelletto che delimita il sito sulla cima della collina. Misura circa 13 metri di diametro, con un anello di 16 kerbstones, la maggior parte delle quali sono ancora in piedi. Le pietre del tumulo sopravvissute si trovano a livello degli ortostrati, che è di circa 1,5 metri di altezza. Il passaggio e la camera, o quel che ne rimane, measured nearly 7 feet long, surrounded by 13 engraved stones, including two more panels. The time has unfortunately disappeared.
The room is as usual cruciform, with a termination right greater than left. The latter is separated from the rest of the room by a stone, and it is conceivable that the environment was left with such a "divider." To enter what's left of the passage must cross a high ledge of rock, similarmete to that of Cairn T. This mound appears to have been oriented to receive light at dawn on November 1 (Samhain) and Candlemas day (early February)

Sheela na Gig

A Sheela Na Gig is now a particular stone carving, although in the past there were also pieces of wood, have been lost over the centuries. Usually they are carved rectangular stone blocks, forty to sixty centimeters high and wide about half. Sheela Some are carved in high or low relief, some relief as a fake and some are simply set in stone. The bill varies greatly, and you go to pieces very well carved and detailed figures sketchy.

Sheela na Gig Killinaboy
The Sheelas, but do not want to be realistic works, but they are part of an ancient symbols. Although each sculpture has its own characteristics, the characteristic that unites them all is the fact that attention is deliberately focused on the vulva of the statue. In addition, the Sheela na Gigs often possess a combination of the following characteristics:

- Big Shoulders
- bulging eyes
- Ribs in view
- streaks on the cheeks and eyelashes
-
oversized head - Hair Loss
- Breasts flaccid
- Mouth wide open
- teeth gnashing
- ears

The laying of Sheela Na Gigs is not always the same, are Sheelas crouching, standing or bent. Most of the time have both arms outstretched to the vulvar area. However, the position of the arms is varied, may go behind or in front of the legs, hands can touch the vulva or not and, in cases where the arms are not in the same position, indicating a limb may be another element of the sculpture, usually in one ear. There are a few examples of Sheela with both arms raised, sometimes intent on brandishing a round object or a sword-shaped (a foul?).

Sheela na Gig on the riverside of Fethard
In the past, there have been deliberate attempts to make it appear the Sheela na Gig as a bad figure, grotesque and horrible, in light of the fact that contravened any Western standard of beauty, but they were all errors of categorization, as the Sheelas are not, as already mentioned, faithful representations, but symbolic, incomprehensible to the conscience of the populace. The Sheela na Gigs, taken as a symbolic pictures, leave nothing to chance, including the physical resemblance to the most common representation of death and exaggerated reference to the birth canal.

The position today of a Sheela Na Gig is no concrete evidence to prove a theory about its true origin. today are not evidence to prove the theories of its origin. The vast majority of the sculptures are not in their original position, as they are often being moved over the centuries. Thus, we have two distinct types of Sheelas: a type that is in its primary site, well integrated within a broader architectural motif, and another type that shows the location as a secondary site, as evidenced by the different types of stone, from not reflect the main architectural motifs and the presence in the local folklore stories about the original location of the sculpture. To begin an analysis, the country in which they are often defines the type of position of a Sheela:

- In Ireland, we find the widest range of locations for this type of sculpture, placed tra le rovine di  alcune chiese, monasteri, sulle chiavi di volta di alcuni castelli, su architravi, finestre, round towers, mura porte e pilastri.
- In Inghilterra, quasi tutte le Sheelas si trovano sulle proprietà di una chiesa o di una abbazia.
- In Francia e in Spagna si trovano esclusivamente nei particolari architettonici di chiese Normanne.

In questi ultimi casi, la loro presenza nell'architettura Normanna fa subito sorgere un dubbio sull'origine: Le Sheela na Gigs sono nate sul continente e si sono successivamente diffuse nelle Isole Britanniche o vice versa?

Nel complesso, potrebbe essere facile risalire all'età di una Sheela, ricavandola dal contesto architettonico, e per Some of this is possible, but in many cases that were often moved, making it difficult a precise date.

Sheela na Gig - Museum of Rock of Cashel
As for dating the paintings, the original buildings were built in which are inserted between the thirteenth and seventeenth century. The oldest of these buildings in Ireland, are the ruins of the convent and the monastery of Killinaboy Athlone, both dating to about 1200. The presence of such sculptures in Irish castles marked a period of revival of the traditional style, started in mid-'500 (Ballynderry Castle), and lasted for more than a century, until the building of Moate Castle, 1649.
However, these were often relocated Sheelas castles, being the oldest from other places (as it probably bears witness to the Sheela na Gig exposed in Rock of Cashel).

The conservation status of these sculptures is obviously related with its position. Those best preserved from the elements, positioned on the internal elements do not necessarily have been saved from being vandalized during the religious campaign - misogyny that the Church has perpetrated over the centuries. The systematic destruction of
Sheelas, at least in Ireland, began in 1600, with a provisional state that ordered the priests to hide all traces of this type of sculpture. Some specimens are impossible to remove, were so disfigured or destroyed. Unfortunately, then, by want of evidence, either for their religious fervor, the conservation status of these images is almost never optimal.

The charm of a Sheela na Gig, lies in the mystery surrounding its origins, in its symbolic function.
After careful analysis of current theories about why the phenomenon of Sheela may have developed, some ideas can be immediately set aside. shall be immediately removed. The first of these is the theory that are Sheela "raffigurazioni della fertilità". Il tentativo di inquadrare la Sheela all'interno della categoria delle raffigurazioni della Dea della Fertilità tradizionale, con il ventre prominente e il grosso seno, non riesce semplicemente a causa delle caratteristiche fisiche proprie della Sheela na Gig (Vedi sopra). Nel folklore che circonda le Sheela, il tema della fertilità sembra essere una recente aggiunta.
Infatti, nonostante il contesto più ovvio per cercare informazioni sulla funzionalità della Sheela potrebbe essere proprio il folklore, non ci sono fonti significative dell'antichità sufficiente a fornire elementi credibili.

Changelings

Sembra che il parto sia una difficile e traumatica esperienza per le femmine the Little People. Make many small die before being born, and those who survive are often stunted and misshapen creatures.

Fairies mature, the largely hedonistic and highly critical of (their) aesthetics, these children often find it repugnant, and have no desire to breed them, and then try to swap them with healthy children, abducted by the the world of mortals. The next creature left in place the baby in the cradle, it is generally known as the Changeling, and the ability to bring the evil in the family who had the misfortune to host it in spite of themselves. Every healthy child baptized or not too fussed, it is particularly at risk of being abducted and traded by the Little People.
However, the character and temperament, are the hallmark of a Changeling. Children are generally happy and joyful, and a child of Fate does not seem to almost never happy, except when some kind of disaster or calamity befalls the household. The Changeling screams and screeches incessantly at all hours of day and night, with an ever more stressful, which transcends by human endurance.
The Changelings can be of three types: the children fairy, Fairies old and decrepit that they want to pretend to be babies and inanimate objects, like a piece of wood, which take the form of children through the magic of being a Fairy.
Una caratteristica molto comune nei Changelings, è la pelle increspata e raggrinzita, di un colorito malsano tendente al giallo. La Fata avrà, quasi certamente, anche grandi occhi scuri, nei quali brilla una luce sinistra, che dimostra una saggezza maliziosa che un normale bambino non dovrebbe possedere. Altri attributi comuni sono varie deformità fisiche, come una schiena storta o una gamba zoppa.
Dopo sole due settimane dal suo arrivo in una casa, il Changeling presenterà già una completa e robusta dentatura, gambe sottili come ossa di pollo e mani curve e storte come artigli di uccello, coperte da una leggera peluria.
Nessuna fortuna verrà a una famiglia in cui vi è un Changeling, because the creature sucks up all the good luck that normally would be for a family. Therefore, these unfortunate people, tend to be very poor and struggle desperately to keep the ravenous monster that lurks in their midst.
A positive feature that this fairy may demonstrate is an aptitude for music. As it begins to grow, the Changeling requires parents "adopted" an instrument, often a violin or a flute, which he started to play with such skill that anyone stopping to listen, can not but be fascinated.

This story is from a village near Boho in County Fermanagh.

"I once saw a Changeling. He lived with two older brothers, not far from Dog's Well and looked like a withered monkey. He was about ten or eleven, but he could not walk really, just hanging around. He knew, however, play the flute so well that no one was able to match it. He knew old tunes, so old that the people had forgotten for so long. One day, he left, I do not know anything about what happened to him ... "

Prevention is better than cure, in fact, the popular tradition leaves us with many ways to protect children from the sights of the Little People. Place a crucifix or iron tongs above the cradle scongiura il pericolo di ritrovarsi ad allevare un Changeling, in quanto le Fate sembrano essere molto spaventate da questi oggetti. Allo stesso modo possono essere utilizzati alcuni capi d’abbigliamento del padre naturale del bambino, che pare sortiscano lo stesso effetto.
I Changelings hanno un prodigioso appetito, e mangiano avidamente tutto quello che gli si pone davanti. Il mostriciattolo, come detto in precedenza, possiede artigli e una buona dentatura, e quindi preferisce nutrirsi saccheggiando la dispensa piuttosto che prendendo il latte dal seno della madre adottiva come un neonato umano(per sua fortuna!). Quando la creatura finisce un pasto, domanda con insistenza dell’altro cibo, portando l’economia familiare al collasso. Nonostante l’enorme quantità di cibo ingerita, il Changeling non rimarrà mai soddisfatto e manterrà un aspetto magro e emaciato.
Ad ogni modo queste Fate non sopravvivono a lungo nel Mondo dei Mortali, solitamente muoiono dopo un tempo di circa due o tre anni umani. Alcuni riescono a sopravvivere più a lungo, ma pochissimi raggiungono l’adolescenza (vedi esempio raccontato poco sopra). Nel folklore, la morte della creatura è solitamente pianta come quella di un figlio vero, e in genere sepolto come ogni altro essere umano. Se la tomba viene scoperchiata, al posto del cadavere del piccolo si trovano solitamente un ramoscello annerito o un pezzo di legno di quercia.
There are cases in which someone who is mistaken is not a child but an adult. These do take almost exactly the shape of the person kidnapped, despite often show a much more sour and unfriendly as the original. The Changeling, in this case, will be a cold and aloof behavior towards family and friends. As for children, for adults as a drastic change in mood and personality may perceive an exchange.
A Changeling case be thrown out of a house. When this occurs, the human child or adult will invariably be returned unharmed. The less drastic method for rejecting one of these creatures is mislead the consumer and make them reveal his real age.
Another way, much more bloody, is to force him to swallow the fact with the addition of foxglove. His heart burn and will be forced to flee nell'Altromondo.

Difference Furry Yiffy

The Pooka

There Fata in Ireland since the dreaded Pooka.

This is due to his habit of running around at night after sunset, making jokes and taking damage and evil terrifying appearance.
The form in which prefers to show, is an elegant dark horse, with sulfur yellow eyes and a long wild mane.
In this form, the Pooka overnight loves galloping around the countryside, knocking down fences, trampled fields, scaring the livestock to disperse and terrorizing the inhabitants of isolated farms.

In remote areas of County Down, the Pooka takes the form a deformed goblin who demands a part of the harvest from farmers at the end of the harvest. For this the workers often leave the field a small amount of harvest, called just "Part of the Pooka." In parts of County Laois, the Pooka becomes a huge, hairy bogeyman that frightens anyone caught outside at night, Waterford and Wexford, it appears as an eagle with a huge wingspan, and in Roscommon, as a black goat with curved horns.

This creature is the nightmare of traveling at night, to jump on his back and then throw them into muddy ditches or lose them in the peat bogs. One look at his pernicious, can stop the hens lay eggs and cows produrre latte.
Il Pooka è in grado di parlare la lingua degli uomini, e pare che a volte si fermi davanti all'uscio di una casa e cominci a gridare il nome di un abitante che vuole trascinare nelle sue scorribande notturne. Se questo sventurato si rifiuta di seguirlo, questa Fata vendicativa comincia a vandalizzare la proprietà del malcapitato.

Molte ipotesi sono state formulate sull'origine della figura del Pooka.
Il nome potrebbe derivare dallo Scandinavo "pook" o "puke", che significa 'Spirito della Natura'.
Tali esseri erano molto capricciosi, e doveva essere continuamente placati, o avrebbero creato il caos nelle campagne, distruggendo i raccolti e spargendo malattie negli farms. Alternatively, the religious cults of the Celtic World archaic, often worshiped gods in the form of a horse may have provided some kind of mythical figure on which the rural folk has also shaped the Pooka.
Other sources suggest that the name came by the Irish ancient "poc", meaning is "goat" and "coup poker".
The most plausible hypothesis is, however, that traces the origin of the Pooka to the cults of the horses, as they often were celebrated in the highlands and their mountains and plateaus are considered the favorite accommodation from this terrible Fairy.

There is a waterfall formed by the river Liffey in the mountains of Wicklow, known as Poula Phouk (Well of Pooka), and Mount Binlaughlin, County Fermanagh, is also known as "Peak of the talking horse." In some areas of the country, the Pooka is much more mysterious than dangerous, provided it is treated with respect. Sometimes it might even appear friendly, dispensing prophecies and warnings. For example, the folklorist Douglas Hyde, speaks of a "terrible steed, sleek and plump" that emerges from a hill in Leinster every Nov. 1, speaking with a human voice to people, giving intelligent answers to those who had put a question on what would happen to them in the first November. And this is why people used to leave gifts and children present on that collina.
Qualcosa di simile accadeva fino a poco tempo fa nel sud della Contea di Fermanagh, dove la gente era solita interrogare uno strano cavallo parlante sulla cima di una collina.

Soltanto un uomo è riuscito a cavalcare un Pooka in forma equina, e quest'uomo era nientemeno che Brian Boru, Re Supremo d'Irlanda. La leggenda narra che Brian utilizzò una speciale briglia, contenente tre peli della coda del Pooka, fino a quando la creatura, esausta, si piegò alla sua volontà. Il Re fece promettere solennemente alla Fata che non avrebbe mai più tormentato i cristiani e rovinare i raccolti, e che mai e poi mai avrebbe cercato di attaccare un Irlandese, a meno che non fosse stato ubriaco,fuori the borders of Ireland or intent on evil deeds. In these cases, he could attack with all the ferocity and viciousness of which was capable of.

The Pooka reluctantly accepted these conditions. However, in later years, seems to have forgotten his promises (after all we are talking about one of the most capricious representatives of the Little People) and attacks on Christian property and sober travelers on their way home, apparently continue to this day ...

The Dolmen Poulnabrone

Poulnabrone The Dolmen is a portal tomb located in the beautiful Burren, the rugged karst area of \u200b\u200bCounty Clare in western Ireland. It is probably the dolmen known and most photographed of the island. The large capstone rises to about 1.8 meters high on the limestone pavement of the Burren, supported by impressive side stones.


Who is buried beneath the dolmen? Most likely this is a prominent person among the tribes of the Neolithic farmers who lived in the area and his family clan.

Radiocarbon dating of bones found in Poulnabroune, places them as dating from a period between 3800 BC and 3200 BC. Poulnabroune The name literally means "Well of Grief" in Irish Gaelic.

Excavations in 1986 and 1988 have brought to light many interesting findings, as well as allowing a restructuring of the dolmen, now protected by a small fence.

The burial chamber is about 25 cm deep. The dolmen consists of a single large slab of stone resting on two large monoliths that serve as load-bearing columns, complemented by two other major orthostats reinforcement. The monument is about 1.80 m high, with the entrance facing north. A stone cross as a large ledge in front of the entrance, and may be only part of a larger plate that maybe one time sealed the tomb. The dolmen
always stands with its unique profile of the plain karst of the Burren.

A Poulnabroune were found the remains of 22 people: Sixteen adults, six children and a baby. The bodies were not cremated, and Solta one of the adults had spent 40 years of age. Most of the children ranged from five to fifteen years. Many skeletons showed signs of arthritis, fractures healed well and more or less levels of tooth wear is such as to suggest a possible use of millstones for cereals. One of the skeletons had, set in a hip, a bit of flint, which suggests a violent death.
Before being deposed, the skeletons were stripped to the bone, probably by boiling.

What Does It Mean If Your Pee Is Cloudy

Wolf and Man, an unbreakable bond

Few animals on earth are capable of evoking strong emotions such as the wolf. And a few others have been subject to discrimination and persecution such as to cause the extinction of most of their ancestral lands.

Despite the reputation that many cultures attribute to him, the wolf is actually a timid creature, elusive and extremely intelligent.
The folk tales and legends about wolves abound, wrapped in a fog of fear, admiration (envy) and loathing hypocrite. I put the word envy in parentheses and added "hypocrite" at the end of disgust, because deep down the man, written tiny, meaning the animal man has always desired to possess the characteristics of his worst nemesis. The Wolf.

In ancient hunter-gatherers, the Wolf was the example to follow, the powerful totem to turn ... and a relentless competitor with which to measure the ongoing struggle for survival. It was clear that his figure was more than myth. With the advent of an economy of agriculture and pastoralism, the figure of the wolf has taken on more negative connotations, as was the continuing threat to cattle. But something remained of the old admiration. With the articulation of human society, the so-called civilization, many clan warriors began to consider how their own ancient ancestor the wolf.
Even ancient Rome, which has definitely brought a turning point in European history and culture (and world), was originally given a link with the wolf, nurse of the mythical founders Romulus and Remus.
As written earlier, the Norse revered the wolf dressed as a carrier of Chaos, Fenrir, the son of Loki, the monstrous wolf of Ragnarok, but also the two wolves were faithful companions of Odin, Geri and Freke, the Father of of lovingly nourished with the food that drops from his table in Valhalla.

E 'with the advent of Christianity that the wolf became a symbol only evil. Was indeed associated with the Devil, the Adversary (perhaps even as a distortion of the beliefs of ancient times when men competed in hunting and wolf), as opposed to Christ, "the Lamb of God", creating a metaphor perhaps obvious, but certainly very evocative .

The image of the werewolf in Figure

Nowadays there is no sign of wolves in Ireland, but things have not always been so. At one time wolves roamed free throughout the island, creating problems for the people in a society that was based a lot on farming. The Irish refer to as werewolves or Faoladh Conriocht, to be protagonists of legends are not based on Germanic myths.


These creatures were not seen as man-eating monsters, on the contrary were considered a kind of protectors that protect children and people injured in the woods, and escorted them to safe the lost travelers.
still a talisman in the shape of a wolf is believed to ward off evil influences.

In 1185, Giraldus Cambrensis wrote the first story about werewolves Irish, taking on a true story told by the Bishop of Ossory. Giraldus told of a strange adventure happened to a priest

A priest was traveling with his assistant for a major mission to Ulster Meath. The two, stopping in un bosco per passare la notte, si imbatterono in un lupo gigantesco. Erano terrorizzati, e sarebbero fuggiti a gambe levate, se l'animale non si fosse rivolto loro con voce umana. Il lupo raccontò loro di come san Natalia, famoso per il suo scostante carattere, maledì il popolo degli Ossoriani per il loro stile di vita peccaminoso. Da quel momento due persone, un uomo e una donna, erano costrette a vivere in forma di lupo per sette anni, trascorsi i quali sarebbero tornati al loro aspetto originale per essere sostituiti da altri due malcapitati. Il lupo disse al prete che sua moglie era in fin di vita, e lui era in cerca proprio di un sacerdote per potergli impartire l'Estrema Unzione. Il prete allora segue il lupo e amministra il sacramento alla moribonda, dying in peace. In gratitude, the wolf reveals to the priest about some of the prophecies of the English presence in Ireland. The priest offered to meet again with the wolf, once he found the human form, but these did not show up anymore.

Another legend tells how the people of Ossory can turn into wolves at will. When a
Ossorio turns into a wolf, leaving her body at home, in a death-like trance, supervised by a trusted friend with instructions to not move at all. In fact, if on his return he could not find his remains, was forced to stay in wolf form for the rest of his days!
Fit wolf of a man completely lost his humanity, and engage in normal activities of the animal, hunting in the woods and undermining the flocks of sheep and cattle near the villages. If surprised or attacked while eating, the "wolf" istintintivamente fled back home, trying to regain his human form.

In Irish folklore, there are references to the theme of the werewolf in the whole course of history. For example there are stories about the tribe of wolf-men stationed in County Tipperary. The ancient kings of Ireland were asked repeatedly for their help in battle when they felt threatened by enemies too powerful. This might suggest a connection with the wolf- Norse warriors, the Ulfhednar . This correlation could be found wide acceptance with Viking settlements in Ireland , although, as mentioned above, the Irish figure of the werewolf has been developed independently.

Irish Folklore in Folklore of the Wolf Global

In many ancient myths, the wolf was portrayed as brave, honorable, and intelligent. some of the best examples of this high regard comes from Native American folklore and tradition of ancient Rome (see the legend of Romulus and Remus and Lupercalia).



Picture taken in AlphaLoups, Le Boréon, Mercantour National Park
In Proto-Indo-European society, the wolf was probably associated with the warrior class, and the same Latin word (lupus) probably derived from a distorted form of the Indo-European tradition, wlkwos.

Many names of Germanic origin, contain the element "Wulf" or "Wolf", for example, Wulfstan, Wolfgang, Wolfthard.

In the modern western folklore, the wolf is a figure to be feared, as the Big Bad Wolf or werewolves, humans, through an evil spell or a curse, take the shape and behavior of wolves, and are then discriminated and emrginati by their (ex) like.


Fenrir in Norse mythology, there are three malevolent wolves: the giant Fenrir (hated and feared by the Æsir), eldest son of the god Loki and the giantess Angrboda, and two of his children, wolves Skoll and Hati, who will devour the Sun and the Moon during Ragnarok.

The fear of man against the wolves is responsible for all the persecution that our race has given to these proud animals, as well as the justification for bringing him to the brink of extinction in many parts of the planet. Fortunately, during the twentieth century, a greater knowledge habits of this animal, and a growing interest in the traditions and folklore of Native Americans, led to a much more positive picture in the wolf.

Despite their often negative reputation, is sometimes attributed to wolves in mythology or stories (as well as the detection of straight lines) used to protect and grow to save lost children, all between two famous examples, the above mentioned Romulus and Remus and Mowgli, the protagonist of "Jungle Book" Kipling.

In their mythology, the Mongols believed to be descended from a gray wolf and a white doe. Their greatest leader, Genghis Khan, liked to call his people "The Clan the gray wolf. "

Over the past 150 years, there has been no documented evidence of a human being killed by a healthy wolf, wolves in fact prefer to escape rather than attack a man. However, we speak the same attacks by wolves, which is probably attributable to animals infected with rabies, however, or even a large feral dogs. It 'always good to think twice before causing one or more wolves in the event of accidental encounters, seeing these wonderful animals are wild, and if they perceive danger to themselves or worse for their children, attacking defense.

Leprechauns and Clurichauns

Leprechauns


The leprechaun is a solitary creature, which avoids the most contact with mortals and other members of the Little People. He devotes all his concentration and dedication in carrying out the work as a shoemaker, in fact, a Leprechaun is always portrayed with a shoe and a hammer in his hand.
A Leprechaun according to a popular press
Most of them are ugly, toothless and no higher than a boy of 10 or 11 years, definitely not very attractive ! They are also often plump and ruddy cheeks, piercing eyes that sparkle with a mischievous light and a certain grace in the move, despite not just the body dry.
Despite possessing great wealth (especially in the form of gold coins), the Leprechauns prefer to dress in a simple, often even squalid! Often wear coats in gray or green, with large pockets, they also bring dirty aprons cobbler, and very often, polverisi green hats or at least red rust.
These elves are distinguished by their foul-mouthed way of talking, the habit of smoking pipe bombs but also for their innate passion for alcoholic beverages, especially beer and whiskey.
Despite these characteristics, not exactly "like gentlemen", the Leprechauns are tolerated by the other fairies because they play the role of guardians their treasures.
must pay close attention to all the tall people who want to steal their gold. A legend says that only the leprechauns, rather than greedy, they knew in advance the places where they would be landed in Ireland looters Vikings, to be always ready to hide their assets.
Despite all precautions, the presence of their treasures is revealed by rainbows, and often in the stories, take advantage of the Mortals.
This means that a leprechaun is often restless, because they can not steal his pot of gold at the rainbows in spite of the constantly moving from one place to another.
If a leprechaun is caught and interrogated harshly, it could also reveal the hiding place of his gold, but it rarely happens, and often the Goblin tries to take revenge, even more violently. Despite this, the leprechauns are generally very friendly if you offer them a drink, and it may happen that, after several laps, he has to give part of his treasure. The Irish Folklore
never speaks of female leprechaun, and this explains why sometimes, this type of fairy is more "well disposed" towards a beautiful mortal woman, rather than a burly farmer!

Clurichauns

There has been much discussion about the true nature of Clurichauns, knowing if they are only a bit of the Leprechauns' over the top, or whether if in a kind of Fate, though closely related to the Leprechauns.
In fact, with the exception of perennial red hue on the tip of the nose, the two types of Fate are similar physically to perfection. In contrast, however, you will never see a Clurichaun wear the apron, and gripping a hammer or a shoe, in fact they have not the slightest intention to work!
wear silver buckles on shoes, gold laces their caps and blue socks pulled up to the calf.
One of their favorite activities is to enter the cellars of the rich, and completely dry the barrels, making a terrifying spree.
love to dress up for fun goats or sheep, and so disguised himself to pursue the fields and bogs unfortunate mistake them for pastors who lost a leader of his flock. Leprechauns
I will never admit a relationship between them and these mischievous cousins, but some believe that others would not be that Clurichans Leprechauns too drunk to realize what they do!

Why Does Alabama Have A 12 On It's Helmet?

Animals Fatati

Many animals roam the land for his fairy dell'Altromondo and watercourses, and often go away to get to the Kingdoms of tall people, or the world as we know it.


Great fairy horses out an imposing and majestic waves of the sea, only to end up miserably trapped panting and helpless in the networks of some fisherman. Sometimes, the strange cows emerge from the waves in search of green grass and fat to feed their calves. In particular during the period of the First of May (the ancient feast of Beltane), it seems that the fairy cows tend to show, bringing luck to the owners of the fields where farmers graze. At times, some lucky mortal, has the honor of hosting in its field Gaivlen Glas, the sacred white cow spots with bright green. Wherever they are grazing, the grass gets greener and nutritious, potatoes and hay larger more abundant. A real blessing for the poor farmers in Ireland!

Big cats blacks and monstrous snakes lakes ensure watch over the treasures of the Little People and inputs dell'Altromondo. Some legends say that cats are really reincarnate snakes, and for this reason they are so elusive and difficult to capture.

The predominant feature of the Animals Fairy is their ability to defy the laws of nature. Cows and pigs underwater breathing easily able to appear and disappear at will, trout and salmon are able to converse fluently in Irish with tall people are good examples of the extraordinary ability of these creatures. A fairy hare can be caught, skinned and cooked, but it will not taste good stew, and no tooth is deadly able to chew his meat! It also says that a fairy trout, tossed in a pan to cook both blown away and the fire has fled fast from the kitchen after taking the shape of a bright young man!

Selkie
Some are suspected of actually taking Fate elusive forms to tease or torment the tall people, for example, leaping hares that appear and disappear , making chase, but never take from a few unfortunate to death. Some animals, like seals, is believed to have an ambiguous nature, part animal, part being Fairy, male or female. to be part animal and part fairy man or woman. All seals are tied up with the little people, and in a pack that takes the sun on the rocks, you can never be sure if they are all normal or if seal between them there is nothing Selkie, a kind of Fata able to take form of seal is that of a beautiful woman, present in the Celtic tradition.

course, sheep and cows can be fatal to graze in the fields dell'Altromondo, as some stories speak of the stolen cattle herds and herds of humans to meet the needs of the Little People.

Finally a question: The Fairy Pets are true Fate and proper? Or are they simply animals?
folklore and old stories do not give a definitive answer.
Think about it, next time you encounter an animal in the woods ...
