Reptiles Throughout Mythology By Norman A. Rubin http://www.viewzone.com/israel.html Reptiles vary in size. Some are carnivorous and others are vegetarians. Some are dangerous and others are harmless. Yet the traits of reptiles and their habits have been utilized in the creativity and mythology of humans. "Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble fillet of fennel, snake, toad, adder's fork, lizard's leg ..." As the witches of Macbeth stirred the magical potion in the large kettle, superstitions, symbols and myths on reptiles had already been stirring for ages. The various myths reveal the association of certain sacred reptiles with the supernatural and with so-called magical powers. These themes are encountered among civilizations millennia in the past to our own present culture. Take the snake and serpents, for example: There is no creature more widely found in the mythologies of the world than snakes. Mythical legends frequently occur in lands where there are no snakes such as with the Eskimos who live in the ice bound Arctic. Saint Patrick may have driven the reptiles out of Ireland, but his efforts could not cleanse the country of snake legends. The Bible does not narrate favorably about the reptile; the "Good Book" compared everything evil to the venomous snake.

Exposing the "militia" mythology Excerpt from the book 'Limits of Dissent.' Aletheia Press, Amhurst, MA 1996 by Thomas Halpern and Brian Levin Militias and the Constitution - Brian Levin The "well-Regulated militia" is the National Guard of each of the fifty states, not the armed civilian militias. The "state militia" in 1903 known as the Dick Act, the state militias are the National Guard of the fifty states. Thus, well-regulated militias, state militia and the National Guard are more or less synonymous terms because they refer to the same thing, though labeled differently to reflect the historical and legal contexts in which they are used. The "unorganized militia" also was established by the Dick Act, you and I are subject by this statute to be called into military service if and when our political representatives find it necessary. This federal statute, and similar statutes, do not give you and me the legal right to go out and form our own private armed militia. The "sedentary militia" is another term used to refer to the unorganized militia that I just described.

Previous 2 of 4 Next Permanent Collection Part III Roaring 90's: The Rise of Contemporary Vietnamese Art In the 1990's Vietnamese contemporary art proliferated rapidly. Although influenced by the outside world, many young artists felt it important to maintain their cultural identity. Well respected among the younger crowd, senior artist Nghiem was one of the first to look back to ancient traditions and village folklore as inspirations. His courage to innovate and respect for the past helped give balance to the younger artists as they were thrust into the limelight. Nguyen Tu Nghiem (1922-) The Dragon's Realm, 1994 gouache on rice paper, 21" x 30" Amit May Collection Dang Xuan Hoa is one of the first new generation artists to gain international recognition in the early 1990's. Encouraged by the preceding generation like Nghiem (above), Hoa works to express his own unique Vietnamese sensibility. "I paint not what I see, but what lies beneath what I see."

New Directions in Folklore 7 2003 Newfolk NDF Archive Issue 7 Songs of the Vietnam War: An Occupational Folk Tradition Les Cleveland Whatever the military perplexities of Vietnam, at least the social behavior of its Western participants conformed to some of the traditional experience of modern warfare. Like a previous generation of U. S. and other Allied services personnel in World War II, the troops in Vietnam used occupational folksong to define the complexities of their situation. This can be explored by applying the concept of organizational culture to a selection of the songs that were current during the war. Edgar H. Schein (1985:9) defines the culture of groups within occupational communities and organizations as a pattern of basic assumptions invented or developed by a given group as it learns to cope with its problems of external advantage and internal integration. This pattern of assumptions needs to have worked well enough to be considered valid and therefore to be taught to new members as the correct way to think and feel in relation to these problems. In other words, organizational culture is the way groups face the world and maintain their own internal solidarity. Their cultures can be studied formally through officially sponsored customs and observances of particular units, or they can be investigated informally through a group's folklore.

This is a Persian myth. AIDO HWEDO is the rainbow serpent from Dahomey mythology. During the creation of the universe, Mawu was carried by Aido Hwedo. When the world was finished it was too heavy, and risked toppling over. Mawu asked Aido Hwedo to coil up beneath the world to hold it in place. When he did this, she made sea around him as he was getting to hot. Aido Hwedo eats iron bars which are beneath the sea. One day, when these run out, he will eat his own tail, and the world will fall into the sea. Aido Hwedo also survives in both Surinam and Haitian vodun beliefs, by the name Aido Wedo.

This was a wonderful book to bring back most of those memories. It is well written. Simple yet engaging. Once I started I couldn't put it down. I've since used it as a teaching resourse in social studies and will be ordering other copies for fellow teachers I've shown it to and were equally impressed. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in native legends or mythology. A Haida legend primer I brought this book on a trip to Vancouver and Victoria and read it in the evenings after returning to my hotels. As a European American, I found it indispensable to understanding much of the art I saw on vacation (especially Totem Poles). This book relates many of the best known Haida stories, including those of the noble, tragic Bear; the intrepid, versatile human fisherman-hunter Nanasigmit and above all the amoral but always fascinating Raven. Almost all the stories are simple, yet strike a deep chord. Add this to "Looking at Totem Poles" and "Kwakuitl Legends", both also reasonably priced, and you'll be well on your way to understanding the basics of First Nations culture.

There are links here to almost every relevant page I can find "almost" because there are a few things I don't have here: pages not in English, usenet sites, urban folklore and cyberlore sites, or any pages relating to "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys."

Fog Watch: All The News Fit To Print The Vietnam War and the myth of a liberal media, Part 3 By Edward S. Herman It is part of conservative mythology that the mainstream media, especially the Vietnam War Context Having imposed a puppet, refused to allow the unifying election, evaded a local settlement that would give the majority representation, and resorted to extreme violence to compel the Vietnamese to accept our preferred rulers, a reasonable use of words tells us that the U.S. was engaging in aggression in Vietnam. New York Times In his Without Fear Or Favor , Harrison Salisbury acknowledged that in 1962 the Times began to question the war and moved into an increasingly oppositional stance, culminating in the publication of the Pentagon Papers in 1971. Times Times writers the patriotic double standard was internalized, and any oppositional tendency was fatally compromised by acceptance of the legitimacy of U.S. intervention, which limited their questioning to matters of tactics and costs.

"Common Dreams NewsCenter is a non-profit news service providing breaking news and views for the Progressive Community." Published on Thursday, May 3, 2001 The Mythology of Vietnam A Reality Check for a Clueless Nation by Ted Rall NEW YORK Historical memory has never done terribly well in this country, but our national case of collective amnesia over the VietnamWar surely sets a record for mass delusion. Former Sen. Bob Kerrey (finally) admits that he led a commando raid on the village of Thanh Phong on the night of Feb. 25, 1969, that ended up with the accidental killings of between 12 and 14 unarmed civilians. One of the six men under Kerrey's command alleges that Kerrey ordered the Vietnamese lined up and shot. For all we know, both men may be telling the truth as they remember it. According to Dr. Frank Ochberg, a former associate director of the National Institute of Mental Health, the stress of combat "makes it possible to remember things in a part of the brain that causes you to focus on certain events and completely ignore others."

Green Berets and "Born Killers": Myth-Making and the Vietnam War in American Film Alexander M. Bielakowski Alexander M. Bielakowski Department of History University of Findlay 1000 North Main Street Findlay, Ohio 45840 The war film has long been one of Hollywood’s oldest and most successful genres. The first Academy Award for Best Picture, Wings (1927), was awarded to a film about World War I, while several actors have made the war film a staple of their movie careers. For the most part, the films of this genre have followed a set pattern in their story development and characterization. As a result, the genre itself has become part of what has been termed “America’s mythic landscape” (Hellmann, 1986). The term myth is narrowly defined here to mean the stories containing a people’s image of themselves in history. These myths are extreme simplifications of reality, but they are also a necessary part of a nation’s culture and can act as a blueprint by which to examine a nation’s past or prepare for its future. “Myths may often distort or conceal, but these stories are nevertheless always true in the sense that they express deeply held
