Ancient Customs

Götter, Göttinnen, Feen und übernatürliche Wesen sind die Hauptfiguren in keltischen Geschichten und Erzählungen aus längst vergangenen Zeiten. Mythen wurden oft zur Erklärung von Naturphänomenen, Leben und Tod und unserer Existenz herangezogen und vermittelten den Menschen im Altertum Erkenntnisse über ihr Leben. Durch das Hören von Geschichten über heldenhafte und fantastische Abenteuer lernten unsere Vorfahren etwas über die Erwartungen, die die Gesellschaft an sie stellte. Das war auch bei den Kelten nicht anders.

This wonderfully romantic tale is only found in the paper copies of The Eddas, an unnamed collection of Norse works. Snorri, an Icelandic historian and poet, doesn’t mention it elsewhere in his works. It is probably not much older than the 17th century. Being that we cannot trace its origin much further back than that, it is largely ignored. But I believe we do so at the risk of missing how these grand tales became what they are today.

Thoth, or Tehuti, was a highly composite deity. His birth was coeval with that of Ra. Let us enumerate his attributes before we seek to disentangle his significance. He is alluded to as the counter of the stars, the measurer and enumerator of the earth, as being twice great and thrice great lord of books, scribe of the gods, and as possessing knowledge of divine speech, in which he was "mighty". In general, he was figured in human form with the head of an ibis, but sometimes he appears in the shape of that bird.

"Mythologie Grecque et Romaine : Héros et Demi-Dieux". Conçu comme un guide destiné au plus grand nombre, cet ouvrage avait pour sous-titre "Introduction facile et méthodique à la lecture des poètes." L'objectif de son auteur, Jean Humbert, était d'écrire un livre "qui pût instruire sans ennui, qui fût clair avec décence, où la narration s'animât, et où l'unité de récit, ce point capital, ne fût pas sacrifiée."

Doués, la plupart, d'une force extraordinaire et d'un grand courage, ils parcouraient la terre et principalement la Grèce.
