Date palms typically begin to bear fruit in April or May, and are "ripe for the picking" around late August to September. Horse mating season begins in Apr/May and ends in Aug/Sep...Basically hot, sunny part of the year...I Persephone symbol of winter? Maybe just a coincidence...

Thread: Saint Tsar Lazar fresco from Curtea de Arges
Monastery, Romania. Pic from the paper: "Medieval name and ethnicity: Serbs and Vlachs" by Ştefan Stareţu, University of Bucharest. pressto.amu.edu.pl/index.php/bp/a… Image
This beautiful monastery church was built in the early 16th c. by Princess Milica Despina Branković, wife of the Duke Neagoe Basarab, Ruler of Wallachia... Milica was of Serbian origin, and closely related to Serbian noble houses of Branković and Lazarević... Image
Now there is an interesting legend about the building of the church. For some reason, the builders were not able to keep the church walls standing up. Whatever they build during the day, collapsed during the night...

Thread: If Christ is life, living nature, then his immaculate conception and virgin birth become easy to understand...
If Christ is life, living nature, then his death and resurrection become easy to understand...
If Christ is life, living nature, and we are part of life, living nature, then we are Christ. We truly live and move and have our being in Christ...This too then becomes easy to understand...

#FolkloreThursday Thread: I can vividly remember once walking through the garden hopping with tiny black frogs...After a late spring thunderstorm rumbled away...I must have been 6 or 7 or thereabouts... Image
I also remember that for a while I ran out after every storm looking for frogs...Eventually I stopped...I guess frog showers were not that common even then...
BTW, this frog rain memory was not a product of my overactive imagination. Frog showers do happen...It is now believed that these apparently inexplicable weather events are caused by small, localised tornadoes known as waterspouts...

Thread: Today I will talk about willow in Slavic spring fertility rituals, gardening and Cricket the cat 🙂

Here we go: Saturday before Palm Sunday is in Serbia known as Vrbica (Willow day). On that day kids and young women make and wear wreaths made of willow twigs and flowers
On that day, willow twigs with young leaves and flowers, like these, known in English as Pussy Willow (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pussy_wil…) are brought to the church where they are blessed the next day, Palm Sunday, which is in Serbia known as Cveti (Flowers day)...
According to the church, this whole willow business is the consequence of the fact that there are no palms in Serbia, and people replaced palm branches with willow branches...Move on, nothing so see here...

Thread: Sumerian Seal, Ur III period (22nd to 21st century BC)...Check every source related to this seal and all you find is: Gilgamesh...Weeeell...

Again we see bull (summer, May/Jun/Jul) and lion (autumn, Aug/Sep/Oct)

oldeuropeanculture.blogspot.com/2019/10/symbol… Image
The star between them is Ishtar (The Lady of heaven, Sirius) Because Sirius rises with the sun during Jul/Aug, at the end of summer (bull) and at the beginning of autumn (Lion)...
This period is marked by Leo, the beginning of the main mating season of the Eurasian lions. And this is why Ishtar, Inanna, is depicted riding on a lion

Thread: First I doubt this ring was made on the Mainland...It was most likely made on Minoan Crete, based on what is depicted on it...Was bull leaping a popular activity in Mycenae? Or is this just another looted treasure?

But this is not what makes this ring interesting...
You know how summer (May/Jun/Jul) starts in Taurus? And how bull is the symbol of summer, because summer starts with calving of wild Eurasian cattle and ends with mating of wild Eurasian cattle?

Now if we look at the scene depicted on the ring, the bull is walking away from a green branch and towards a dog...Why?
