Seemingly the celebrated this perpetual creation at their weekly (?) holy night, which is obscurely known to us as the witches' sabbat or akelarre. It survived the Dark Ages but not the "illustrated" Inquisition of Modernity. <br /><br />I think we should pay more attention to the hidden truths in the surviving wisdom of the ancients. The fact that hunter-gatherers work just a few hours per day (on average) is clear sign that they are much wiser than us... even if less knowledgeable of some other things such as nuclear weapons, engineering or even some aspects of medicine. <br /><br />Their knowledge is still valid, not necesarily better but not worse either. It's a complementary point of view for those who can see through their eyes a little bit.Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563811638411839784.post-67761634847831549942010-03-24T12:56:10.116+01:002010-03-24T12:56:10.116+01:00No wonder that the ancients venerated the mountain...<i>No wonder that the ancients venerated the mountains as emblems of Divinity</i><br /><br />We can celebrate our ancestors ignorance as an innocence fun. However, it depresses to see some modern communities still living in that ignorance and other enlightened people celebrating them as living ancients.Manju Edangamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474338169829802934noreply@blogger.com
