Hello! How's everything going? And welcome once again to the skeptic side kick? Well, we kinda delve into a lot of the Miss Fairy tales per normal Ufos see it eccentric. The es, the esoterico, as well as the all the wonderful things that you want to know with me, is always the smart, talented Mercy thinks she's she's sexy. My sister Kim Rodriguez.
hey? How's it going?
All right? How about yourself
doing pretty good? I had a very interesting experience the other day. Yes, Mercy and I went out to eat at our favorite Mexican restaurant. Excuse Me Mexican restaurant. and as we were there waiting for our food. I noticed this couple walked in. It was, you know, a man and a woman, and the guy looked very much native American not in his dress or his attire, but just you know his features. He appeared like he would be native American, and I was like, Oh, that's interesting.
Well, when the waitress brought our food I noticed that this gentleman was talking to the hostess. and I saw like it almost looked like a smoke. and it just kind of like came off of the gentleman, and it lingered in the air after he walked off. and my first thought was, Oh, well, he just came out from Smoke here like he was smoking a cigarette. But this is a no smoking restaurant, so he couldn't have been smoking restaurant, so that I was like, Oh, my gosh! Is the restaurant on fire!
But the smoke just kind of dissipated. So it was like, no, it's not on fire either. so it almost makes me wonder if maybe there was like a spirit lingering in the restaurant. That either knew this guy or came in with this guy and it just kinda like I was able to see it in smoke form. I talked to one of my friends who's a psychic medium. And she did say, like her mother, see spirits in in a smoke form like that. So, yeah, that was very interesting, very, very odd situation.
But I just wanted to share that, and, you know, get people's thoughts and opinions on it. What are your thoughts?
Who knows? Maybe you saw something?
Well, it does run in our family. But I tried to think of all the rational things that could be, and like I said it couldn't be cigarette smoke, because there's no smoking
It was far enough away from the kitchen that it wasn't coming from the kitchen.
and so I don't know. It's just very, very odd.
I don't know, either.
So tonight we are continuing our conversation on sacred birds.
I hope you all were at the edge of your seats waiting after last week's fabulous episode.
the sacred birds are Fabu.
Yeah.
okay. so like. sorry. Why don't we kick it off?
I was gonna kick it off. But no, I changed my mind. Oh, come on, this is what the people are here for. maybe.
Well, then, if we're not going to talk about that, what are we going to talk about?
I just just talk about me. Why not talk about me, Toby Keith? Let's talk about birds. Alright. The Greeks believe that all crows were once white. that they were cursed with the darkness after a crow opposed to God. Apollo, to tell him his human is, you may know. lover, a Thessalonian princess named Cornelia.
No, I know Coronius Coronas.
who was pregnant with Apollo's child. had become enabled by a man named E. Isithia. Apollos. Texas. Okay. and anger? Demanded his sister Artemis. Stay slay the Princess. A lot of people actually died, thanks to the plague ridden arrows that Artemis rang down the or Apollo in anger. Dark in the Apollo. also I the fit, darken the feathers of the Coronas. He did, however, at least bear the child. Some stories claim that he recovered the child from his faithless lover.
swoom as it was thrown onto the fire, and then handed the child over to Chyron to raise, though other tales, insisted Hermes, who actually rescued the unborn child. Coronas was eventually set apart at the Constellation Corvus.
Now corvids are often tied 2 stories of mourning. the thought of early Europeans coming to dislike them and to hearken them back to root infestations that were prevalent across Europe, Asia, and Russia. It's a cycle that I'm sorry. It's a cycle of life that some species are unaffected by a disease or find favourable locations that allow them to boom and grow. Though nature typically holds these in balance. Rooks, however. are thought to be the reason that Nat Crap legends came into being.
Try saying that 5 times. That's crap! That's crap, snatch, crap, natch, crep, nap, scrap! About the time of the stories that came to life. There were a route a rook, infestation. and scavengers with inky black feathers began being talked about as the flocks were growing. The farmers were upset, that they were devouring the seeds, and you know they were just as bad as the carry-ons.
and the Talpho, who looked at the mass of flocks loudly calling as they flew overhead in the dark cloud. No, I can attest to how annoying that is because we do have. They're not. They're a type of blackbird, but they're not crows. However they are. I think they might be related to the pro family. I'll have to look up at the name of those.
No? Well, that's see. I think that's the English name for it, but they have a different name in Spanish. I just have to look up what it is. and when these birds. In the winter they come by the masses, and it it looks like a scene from the birds. I mean, they are just everywhere, and they're so loud and so annoying what? They're squawking. So yeah, I can understand how annoying the they must have been, you know, in Europe at this time.
Right. The Ned Crap. or night raping is Eurasian myth that variants can be found around the world. There are stories to the positive and negative surroundings. These Covid and the night rate. Let's hit the negative negatives first. The night Raven, as depicted in house mythology. Oh, Norse mythology has simply applied sockets for eyes, and if you look into them it will cause death.
Its wings are filled with hosts in which the illness and disease fall from the spot. If you spot them. Europeans believe that. It leaves the hiding places at night in order to hunt for food. Any children who seize the bird are so abducted and carried off to their nest. where they are necessarily devoured. First their limbs are pulled off and eaten while they're still alive. only to die. This one's open, the bird reaches in and eats their heart in front of them.
Some stories have mentioned the nightmares fuel by saying that instead. just And said that the birds puts the children into a bag and carries them away. There's a virgin of an angry night raven in Germany that doesn't abduct children, but rather crows loudly and beats its wings about until fussy children are frozen in terror and unable to make a move. There is, however, an Australian version known as the good knight Gravin. who enters children's bedroom and gently sings them to sleep. Sheep.
sheep! I can see your eyes getting heavier, heavier. I am an Australian. Good night, Raven.
Wonderful music! I will sing to you, cause I am a children of the night. I am still trying to find that the name of that bird. But in the meantime the Russians do have tales of volcanos. which is a creature that possesses the body of a bird and the head of a woman. Now this does sound familiar to tales of the siren and the harpy. This you know, the siren can be sort of the alter ego of us Al Sano's, or I'm sorry. Elkano's. and it is not a destructive force that lures me into their jam.
She does sing enchanted melodies. However, her voice instead causes those to hear it, to let go of their world whirl worldly worries. and they want nothing more of their lives. Now this could still sounds horrific to some. I mean, what would life be like if we never wanted anything? However, she is considered a creature of good luck. and this is also a symbol of harmony and peace. and only happy people are able to hear it.
The iconost rules over the day. while the siren and her dark persona are rulers of the night. The occanost has a voice of danger warning.
The Romans believed in a snowy white bird called Calais. I think the siren says it. Her voice is a danger warning. I'm not sure.
Okay, I apologize for that. but I guess yeah. The siren would be a danger warning because they're the ones who lure you to your death. But I digress. The Romans believed in a snowy bird called Calladrius. and it's said to live in the home of the king. There are 2 legends about this bird. The first is that the Caladrius had the ability to to absorb illness from a sick person. as the bird would draw the disease away as it flew away with it.
and the second does not mention the birth healing ability. but rather that she perches on your bed and looks over you. And you would live. So basically, this bird comes into your home, sees you laying in bed sick, the bird flies away, and you're alive. Praise the gods!
Yes. But however, what happens when it doesn't look at you
if she looks away?
Yeah. alright. So Arabian. This contained the tails of a huge bird creature called the rock, and it doesn't smell what is cooking. She has appeared in tales of Sin Bed, the sailor from the Caribbean Knights Collection, and Marco Polo, the Venetian explorer, claims an appearance of beggars back. Did it? Beggar's belief, saying. it is for the world like an eagle. but misled of enormous side.
as big, in fact, that the quills would wear 12 traces long and thick in proportion as it is strong, it will seize an elephant with its talons, and carry him high into the air and drop him so that it smashed to pieces. Having killed him, the bird would swoop down and the on him and eat at his leisure. Given that elephants depending on the genus can weigh between 8,000 to 16,000 pounds. So that's about half a ton to a 10 and a half
that one. Me's insanely strong. Bird illustrates over the ages, depicting that the elephant, looking as small as a mouse. would when compared to a bald eagle. Paulo Polo would go on to say to claim that the rocks flew from the southern region up to Madame Gascar. and that the great Asians Khan has sent messengers to Madagascar to fetch him one for the birds feathers. It is often revered. Bird, and many have offshoot from the magnet guest, gar, Larry Bird. namely, the
elephant bird. This bird has numerous sightings from 1420 to 60. 1668, when sailors would pass into the Cape of Good Hope Fund, and not only this huge but but flightless bird itself, but the enormous eggs it would lay. Europeans traveling to Madagascar in the 18 hundreds, retrieved eggs and broke the shells which would later scientists were able to monitor and confirm the beginning of the elephant bird.
Madagascar, however, has had a long camp claimed in host, not only to the giant rock, but giant lemurs and pygmy hippos. There has been fossil foul in the ice, however. the bargain. They belong to the new extinct Madagascari crowned eagle. It was not the same species as the elephant bird, however, this smaller it bird, white
while able to fly and become an apex predator. was about the size of a modern golden eagle. Definitely large creature, however, as far as small, decided to have the eagle in the traces of a rock.
Hmm. Interesting. Now the rock has also been thought to be mistaken for its African ostrich. The adult ostrich is unable to fly. and it is thought to perhaps been confused as a chick for a much larger species of bird. Yes, the ostrich looks nothing like an eagle. but odds were. No one was seeing these creatures up close as ostriches can be extremely dangerous on their own. I don't see still, how they could. A ostrich for an eagle even far away, that just that doesn't make sense.
In 1228 a d cho chufei, or I'm sorry, Zao. We Faye wrote a large island off the African. I'm sorry. A large island off of Africa that had birds large enough, that their quills could be used as water reservoirs. And it is thought that he was given Franz from Arafa Paul. and while he remained safe in Kubla Khan.
Kubla Khan. Yes.
It said that. You know these these feathers were, you know, different than a actual rock feathers. Also the rock is thought to have originated from India. and there is a story of a bird called Go Garuda, Whoa. that carried off an elephant. That was at the time battling a crocodile. No one in the scientific community has ever discovered what creature Vishnu's giant eagle could have been. as nothing in the fossil records have ever been discovered to date on that
now the rock Even drawn compar comparisons to hastifer Eagle. an ancient eagle that went extinct in Fifth. In the fifteenth century, New Zealand, which boasted a 10 foot Wingspan. or the Mararie legend of the Tihaq way. The Marari. Legendary creature, however, was not, was said in the huge and widely colorful which descendants to earth. to be carried off by humans to eat.
Its cry occasionally heard, not only was seen by unfortunate victims. While the tikara theory, however, it was discovered at the 1988 that a local they snipe bird, would create an unusually loud roaring sound with the tails. When fighting another male for the chance to mate. it is now generally believed that the loud noises is why the malaria only heard the noise, but never witnessed the enormous bird they believed to be seen inside and be able to make the sound.
Now griffins had the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. and these were first mentioned in Greek mythology. How's Griffendo? Or Sorry off topic. And these were the guardians that protected the treasure of Apollo. and it was said in some of these texts that the Griffin singular was male. and he would lay his eggs in the carcasses of burrows. And if you discovered the nest that it would be shown with golden nuggets, so I'm assuming that the griffins were asexual.
I mean, if they could, if they were considered male. But they could lay eggs. We have to ask Vicky about that.
Yes. in Dante's purgatory he uses the Griffin as a representation of Christ. Given that the lion is the king of beasts, and that the eagle is the King of birds. However, before Dante's writing. the Griffin had already gone from a fierce protector to an indifferent god. to a symbol of Satanism. After Dante, however. griffins are now seen as a more benevolent creature. and they began to peer in royal sigiles and family crests. However.
Dante was not the first to write about the Griffin. as tales go all the way back to artices in seventh century BC. By artists description. It was a sharp, beaked, unbarking hounds of Zeus. and so that would leave people to consider the Griffin to be wingless. Yet Pliny the elder, who we talked about before in the first century BC. First insisted that griffins not only possess wings. but that they also have long ears. Then we go to the Greek philosopher philosopher Apelinus of China.
or I'm sorry, Tiana, and he wrote that not long after Pliny, that the griffins did not have wings. but whether web feet and this allowed them to glide for short distances. Pliny insisted that the creatures were found in Ethiopia and India. and Science wondered if he somehow mixed up the lore of Griffin's with that of gold digging ants of India. The ants were said to be of dog or fox sized insects. Dang! That's some big ants. and they dug up gold in the sand.
Though these stories are considered to be from Ethiopia and transfer to India over time. Then Isidore of Seville claimed that griffins were natural enemies to horses, as tales were already circulating at the time that ancient giants called Aramispians rode large horses that would raid Griffin's nests for their gold. So it's really interesting. The different ideas and thoughts that people had as to what these griffins must look like. I mean from one extreme to another. is it?
I might be wrong on this. You can correct me. I am wrong. I'm not even gonna ask, because I know the answer is, no. So I'm gonna skip that but yeah, I went from having wings to not having wings to having web feet to being the enemy of horses. So I think people just, you know. decided they wanted to go against the grain and like, Oh, well, no, you've you're wrong. It's actually this. Oh, no, you're wrong. It's actually this, it's like, Come on, people. Can we agree on one thing?
Yep. that's how was the thing. Now, why not properly worship the Chi Chilean. Alecardo Bird was sought by by the miners of a region like a guiding star. It was considered a nocturnal bird that is incapable of fight. whose wings shone at night, its metallic colors. and the eyes smiling, its strange light depending on the myth. If you would follow the bird's wings, would change. depending on what sort of or
it is eaten, while others claim it was always the eyes that reflected of one's of the oar. It is recently consumed in these later stories it was said that the birds wings where a coppery green as he a lechant, was flightless. It was thought that the faster the Angentian ran. Then there was an or in the area. but if a miner was able to follow the slower Achillio without being spotted, then the bird would eventually lead him to a mineral deposit.
It wouldn't be hard to follow the bird with the glow of the wings in the dark of the desert. But if the miner was spotted, then the italian would simply snuff out its light and escape in the assering darkness and if it was not for the good hearted man. If he had a hearted heart of darkness, then the ensuro would simply read, lead you to a clip before extinguishing it, light that way, fumbling in the darkness, intense darkness, the wicked minor which fit would plummet to the edge and die
myth, those unfolded upon a real person in the tale of. After one good old Ray discovered a large outcrop of silver. Back at 1832, Gordy discovered led to the Chachilian silver rush.
and another mythical bird that was not exactly worshipped per se was the antsu. This is an ancient Sumerian bird. who, like the reverse of the griffin sport at the body of an eagle. and it had the head of a lion at the pre dawn time of Add Zoo. massive in size and might, it managed to steal the tablet of destinies from the gods. answered his great sides. The only tray that could hold his nest straddled, straddled the head of the 7 Rivers in Utu
the Sung. I'm sorry it shadowed the head of the 7 rivers of Utoo, which was a sun god. As Anzi launched himself into flight. His wings stirred up dust. and God's thought of him as an opponent that would be difficult to kill. Enlil, who was the son of one of the gods followed, and Zoo, in order to bring the tablet back. Most myths do agree that this minor deity battles antsu on the primordial world, primordial world meaning our world.
And this unleashed flood waters along with winds and storms. and these all taking their part in shaping the world as it is to be Enlil does manage to slay the giant bird and returns home in triumph, having the tablet. But the world was already affected by an zoo. And so, yeah, that was that this tale does date back around 1,200 BC.
And the Assyrian kings did eventually change the story of the battle to instead insert themselves as the victory of the battles. So, like most fiction, you just can't keep a bad guy down.
No
Israeli folklore eventually allowed Anzu to return from the grave as a powerful creature for the Israelis. and they did offer sacrifices to him to keep him appeased.
Hmm! Now let's talk about the wonderful. Hoponi bird. It's a real creature that is indistinct, of an appearance due to its raised crest feathers on top of its head that resembles crowns. These birds ranged from Egypt to large parts of Africa and even on Madagascar. we've already talked about Madagascar, that's where the rock was supposed to be now the Egyptian consider them as sacred. and the bird is often and depicted on walls of Tombs and
temples alike. it was considered a symbol of a children being the ha! Sorry my eyes are getting tired. Bingley. Helle! The heel heir to the fathers! And thus were approved, imported it to the royalty. The Minuan's empire in Crete, during the Bronze age. had their small birds in similar way to the Egyptians. This bird was even listed, listed by name in the natura. though it considers it to be detestable bird, that is not the kosher, and therefore it is not to be eaten.
The reason, apparently, but that the bird was a subtle and sly with its words. There's a story now that King Solomon was was rescued by the Hoopos, and gathered as the flock over his head to shade him beneath their wings. Other when he was lost in the desert. Hoponos birds like the pre-islamic chituins. and or hoarding countries bordering countries. Excuse me, sorry. consisted of the birds sacred and Oy goddess! Too short.
and could be only hunted if you were given permission by the goddess, high priest, and even if you could only be attained for medicinal purposes. Persia saw that the Hoopas, as a symbol of virtue by most European, considered this birds as an undesirable thief. Scandinavians considered the bird of a harder harper of war. Aesthetonia had them tied to the death. and the underworld, claiming, if you heard the song, it was a forefo foreshadowing mass. Death. though the death could only be silver.
only be slither of a person's maid. Arcado. neither of which would be seen as a positive.
interesting kind of a bit blurry tonight. Not a problem. You need. Glasses
need sleep
now by the medieval ages the hopo was shifted to a specifically evil bird that was used in magical spells and there were some spells in Germany that were called the Munich Manual of Demonic Magic. that would often cause call for a sacrifice of this bird for sevening demons, or another dark magic. Despite its past. The Hooper was named the National Bird of Israel in 2,008, and Germany and Latvia now both include the bird in numerous coat of arms
the logo. Sorry it is the logo of the University of Johannesburg. The bird, however, is still used in numerous locations around the world as an ingredient of folk. Medicine for a variety of health issues. Its days of being worshipped has definitely not helped the species much. In fact, it seems to have mostly than for the bird's detriment.
you know, for a bird being held as worthy for being one of the only species who's young. Take care of the elderly It's also damned by the same brush, seeming condemned by God upon creation. Now, what is it? Sin? It refuses to eat any food presented for it. so it was punished to only eat the poo from other animals for eternity. I guess that's how it got its name of the the hoop, or actually, it's hoo po! But you know I would say, hoo, poo! Since it eats the poo.
Well, you know, that's maybe why the it's that's a a animal that's forbidden by the Torah to eat.
That is very interesting, because I know that they're very like. That's the reason you don't eat shell fish. Also, the pig is considered to be a very dirty animal. That's why, you know they're for their donate pork, either, so that, you know, really makes sense. To put it up there with that
there are also tales i'm, sorry
there are also tales of the Cinemugulus. This is a bird from Arabia. and it said that this giant bird would construct its nest out of cinnamon sticks. Hmm! That smells good.
However, nobody knew where the bird would get these sticks from.
The Arabians, did devise a trick to obtain the cinnamon. As the bird nested off of sheer cliffs, where climbers could not reach for this trick they would sacrifice cattle. and they would cut the beasts into chunks for the birds to swoop down and eat. The theory that the weight of the meat would break the nest off the cliff. and the Radians would wait below to collect the cinnamon sticks that fell to the ground. Now you can continue
alright. Well, let's talk about Aristotle now. The birds created in the branches that topple tree far above where his climber could reach, withholding the limbs snapping beneath its weight. Aristotle said that these or spice collectors would instead use boughs to shoot arrows, or they would use bows to shoot arrows. Did you imagine shooting a a bow depends on how big the bow is?
These weighted arrows would cause the stay the slender branches the nest were to snap off and drop the nest down into the
into your hands. Pretty much pit need the elder poop poo the entire theory, insisting that the tales of the sentimentated nests were given, the justified, the high cost of the spice at the market. It does make you think. however, why such stories would be considered tasteful. Given that birds nestings on cinnamon would certainly be unsanitary. but then the practice of attaching the fanciful to product to render the most desirable, yet still full. So swing today.
not only can we call it marketing, but modern day marketing would have us a hard time shooting that the consumerism would with the consumers these days. Given that the modern birds avoid the scent of cinnamon as well as garlic, chili and cayenne. Yeah, you know, these spices were often what to cook them in folkler at the Scottish Highlands. Bring us the poopri. a shape shifting bird that does not fly, but rather uses its wings to swim.
and can be found in lakes and oceans along the country's western shores. It seems to often take the form of a cormorant or 2, or lou. but is considered to be perhaps based on the great auk which is now extinct. The ark. a flightless water burg died out in the nineteenth century. and we're We're from the genus PIN Guinness. or the name, and the look of the birds somewhere resembles a modern-day penguin.
The 2 species were completely unrelated. Pigments received their names because they were vaguely resembled to the great up.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Now to the squats, the booberry was found of cattle. and it could pull from ships also it ate otters.
which were abundant in the region. Oh, the poor baby otters!
Now, since this bird was a shape shifter, it could take on the manifestation of a water bowl or water horses. and in this form it galloped across the waters as if it were solid ground. Even its hoofbeats sounded as if it was striking the earth. Now mythos say in the summers it was often spotted as a large insect. it would suck the blood from the horses and other knives, stop lamps and calves. who are also a culprit. To many of the creatures untimely death. The brewery had a loud bellowing call.
and some scholars have attributed this to a real call. who have the common bitter. This is a small but loud bird. and they were occasionally found in Scotland. However, they did not natively reside there. The brewery was considered a benevolent creature. and one tell of his capture tells a farmer I'm sorry, tells of a farmer and his son that were plowing afield. This was on the island of Mall. and that is located west of Scotland, and amongst the inner Hebrides, Lylands.
On this occasion the farmer and his son had 4 horses that were hitched to a PAL. One of the horses threw a shoe, so the plow, the ploughing had to be haunted, halted. haunted, halted tomatoes. Yeah, we are told that today I do apologize. People a BD bad today. words hard. So they had to plow. They had to halt the plowing, and the farmer and his son didn't notice a horse grazing nearby. and so he thought it would he. I'm sorry they thought
they would see if it could be used as a replacement for their laying force. So it's like, Hey, Dad! Look! There's a horse over there in the pasture. Why don't we try using that one? Apparently it was easy enough to capture the animal and to get it harnessed up. as it seemed to be familiar with plowing. So they continued on as the plowing took them closer to a lock at the end of the field. The new horse became restless.
so in our in order to calm it, the farmer snapped a whip alongside the animal.
you know, kind of as an incentive to get back to work.
Yeah, I should take that whip and slap him. However, to their amazement, the so called horse chick form into a giant boobury. and it dove into the lock. However, the new shape did fail to allow it to get out of the cornice
Vietnam harness.
So the farmer's plow and the other 3 horses were pulled in with it. Horses did did not surface again. The farmer and his son waited at the lock's edge for 7 h. and you know sadly their horses did demise
right now. The boobery however, also have a feature testimonial positivity in the sometimes John Campbell of Isley. a specialist in Celtic studies back in the mid 18 hundreds, shared a tail of a booby who had taken form of a bull.
a boobri, not a booby.
a ruby
boobree. We don't. We're not talking about boobies here.
Yes, they're very nice birds now. The the animal was wounded and was standing beside a lock in Argyll, where it was found by young men who nursed it back to health. A few months later, after finding the pull and his return to health, the young man's girlfriend was attacked by a former boyfriend alongside the lock. The water boil, appeared and knocked him, knocked the attacker over. then knelt as the frightened girl could climb on to its back.
He carried her to safety and then disappeared that night, not to be seen again. The fate of the World Bowl translation from original Gaelic claims that the poor beast had been a Boobury under the spell of a bondage that it kept trapped in the water. But from the 300 years, thanks to young man's healing it, repayment by saving the maiden from the water. That the water bowl now revealed to be a blueberry, was freed from its landscape, and once again his presence.
if, of course the blue bring was not a creation to be worshipped or considered sacred. It is certainly a superstition that still stirs today in the Scottish folklore.
Now we go on to Persia. Which I just recently found out was historical Germany. But I digress. The Persian mythos holds that the chamrush is a large bird that lives on the summit of Mount Albros. the Ying to Chamois's Yank. I'm sorry. Let me start that over. The Persian mythos holds that the Chamroch is a large word that lives on a summit of mouth. Aberos. and it has a command companion in Amroch.
a simmer that is the Ying to Shimashus, the Yank Chamrush lives beneath a Soma tree and has the body of a dog and the head of an eagle. while Amrush nests in the Soma tree and has the head of a dog and the body of an eagle. So I guess maybe it's like a kind of weird thing where something happened in the dog and the eagle were together, and then you know, it split into 2 creatures.
Hmm! Maybe
the Creator! I'll rust placed the Selma tree along the seashore of the Sea of Verook Kasha, and then created Chamroash and Amrosh to fulfill a sacred duty. Now both of these birds are immortal, immortal. and their duty is to the tree and its unusual crop. Every year the tree gains a thousand new branches that grow all of the seeds of the world. As these seeds ripen and Rush sits on each branch in turn. and they will shake the tree
and dropping the seeds to the ground. Now Shadrash's task is to strike the seeds from the ground with his wings. and this knocks them into the sea. The seeds are then drawn from the sea into the clouds. and which rain comes down with the seeds to earth in their proper places. There are, as we have pointed out, earlier, several birds that are held up in myth, not worship. but as an example of punishment for the wicked doings.
The Greeks originated the myth of the string or strychs. depending on which version you come across. And this myth did find its way to the Roman belief system. and then into the Middle Ages. Religious zeal tell us about the strange.
Yeah. The strange were originally said to have been 2 brothers who were cursed to become wild animalists for having killed and eaten a fellow man. Woo cannibals. once you become a sage, you're condemned to a life of being upside down, unable to eat food or drink, and we're blamed for all series. And just despair Despairing cries heard from the night.
Some mythos, like in the string with vampires, are witches. Oh, that's interesting, because the Italian word for vampire is Stringoli, which is very similar to string right? Others came to that the strange to be birds of prey during the day, and then which at night. It isn't a bird of prey to fear, but the witch. as it is said that when she strangles children and drains them of her's blood.
boy they don't like, which is too much there, much the same as the vampire. The witch can be detained by making amulet out of garlic to wear around their neck. Plenty. of course. had to weigh in on this myth, describing them as real creatures, but admits that he doesn't know much about them and their story. but the time the string hit the Middle Ages they had transitioned from damned to their own actions for being servants of the devil.
But then, of course. there are many more sacred animals that could easily work. We can cover. and another man's nightmares. Are there stories of birds that you, from your own religion, culture, or ethnicity, that hold a place in your heart. feel free to comment as we should be able to loved a team of more beliefs like this around the world.
Now, I know one that we didn't. Cover comes from the Mexican culture, which is the owl the. And basically in that belief. It said, an app an Al is actually a witch and bird form. it's really fascinating. I would love to to talk about that in future episodes if we can do that. But yeah, that's what I know locally in my area. but I digress. We've gone through the second half. Yes, and you had promised last week that you would inform us all who your fa, what your favorite mythical, sacred bird is
the rock?
How did I know
I had a feeling you were going to say the rock
interesting. I'm psychic.
No, you just know me very well. That could be it, too.
But I digress. This does conclude part 2 of our sacred birds. We do ask that you like, and subscribe, and again leave a comment, letting us know which bird you like the best, or if there's a bird we didn't cover from your culture again, let us know in the comments. and with that we look forward to next week.
We're gonna go a little more into the spookiness of next week, so make sure you look forward to that. Be talking more about haunting. So I'm excited. I'm not gonna say what we're gonna talk about, really, that you know, as a surprise to get you to listen in. But I'm super excited about next week's topic. Anything else you'd like to add tonight before we close off this episode. Yes, I just wanted to say that we do really enjoy your comments. Send us some.
We want to hear from you. We're so lonely. It's sad, it's pathetic, I know. But please drop us a line on our Facebook page skeptic sidekick. We also have a website, skeptic psychic com, where you can go up and make all the little comments email us@infoatskeptic.com. And you can catch us on any podcast out there, that is podcasting. And with that I like to say unpleasant nightmares. That's a lot of information. You can find all that in the links as well, but sweet dreams, everybody. Good night.
Okay, are you? There.
