Rawhead And Bloody Bones Aka Rawhead Cover
For a supposedly made up creature thousands of children have feared him and still do. Said to be as tall as a two story building, he is a terror to behold. His raw head is flayed open and often looks more like a boar's head than a human one. Or sometimes you can see the bloody veins with no skin at all.

His bloody bones are thick and massive. They need covering just like his head you see. And it needs to be very young and tender flesh to cover him. Otherwise he is sore and in a worse temper than usual. Bad children can expect a raw bloody hand to smash through a window. Or perhaps from underneath the bed. He is so very clever. And magical. He'll always find a way in.

There's no escape from him and adults somehow always know about children who went missing. Of course he serves a useful purpose. Scared children do not wander outside at night where very real danger exists. They are also wary of strangers as Rawhead is not above appearing as a human. He is the more acceptable face of death that masks the real horrors of the world.

At the risk of dating myself, he reminds me a lot of Rawhead Rex.

Parvati Great Goddess Of India

Parvati Great Goddess Of India Image
PARVATI ( SHE WHO IS OF THE MOUNTAINS) IS THE GREAT GODDESS OF INDIA; SHE IS THE GODDESS OF FEMININITY AND REPRESENTS THE BEAUTY OF WOMANHOOD. SHE IS THE MAIDEN ASPECT OF THE TRIPLE GODDESS, FORMING THE TRIAD WITH DURGA AND KALI MA. SHE WAS THE DAUGHTER OF HEMAYAT, LORD OF THE HIMALAYAN MOUNTAINS, AND HIS QUEEN, MENA. SHE IS USUALLY DESCRIBED AS VERY BEAUTIFUL, AND IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT THE REASON FOR HER BIRTH WAS TO LURE THE GOD, SHIVA, INTO MARRIAGE. SHE SYMBOLIZES THE NOBLE VIRTUES WHICH ARE GREATLY ADMIRED IN THE HINDU RELIGION. PARVATI IS AN EARTHY GODDESS, FOND OF DANCING AND THE PLEASURES OF THE BODY.

LEGEND GOES THAT SHIVA HAD BECOME DESPONDENT OVER THE DEATH OF HIS WIFE, SO HE TURNED TO THE LIFE OF A HERMIT. THE GODS WERE VERY WORRIED AND BEGGED SHAKTI, THE MOTHER, FOR HELP. IN RESPONSE, SHE TOOK ON THE FORM OF PARVATI, THE PRINCESS OF THE MOUNTAINS, AND SOUGHT TO GAIN SHIVA'S ATTENTION, AND ALTHOUGH AT FIRST HE PAID NO ATTENTION, THE SKILLED AND PATIENT GODDESS EVENTUALLY SEDUCED HIM WITH HER BEAUTY, CHARM, AND WIT.

IT SEEMS THE COUPLE HAD MANY DISPUTES ABOUT HAVING CHILDREN, AND WHEN PARVATI BORE A SON, SHIVA CHOPPED HIS HEAD OFF; THEN, FEELING GUILTY, HE REPLACED IT WITH THE HEAD OF AN ELEPHANT. THE CHILD BECAME THE GOD, GANESH, A HINDU GOD OF GOOD FORTUNE.

THE STORY OF PARVATI GIVES US A CLUE AS TO THE ONLY WAY OUT OF A QUANDRY. THE GODDESS DECIDED THAT SHE WAS GOING TO WIN HER LOVE AND WENT AFTER HIM, NO MATTER WHAT IT TOOK. PARVATI'S STORY REMINDS US THAT WE NEED TO BE CLEAR ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT WE REALLY WANT TO HAVE CHILDREN...AND WHETHER BOTH PARENTS ARE IN AGREEMENT. WOMEN NEED NOT FEEL OBLIGATED TO REPRODUCE; INSTEAD, IF WE SO CHOSE, WE CAN TAKE JOY IN THE CHILDREN OF OTHERS.

Wuriupranili Aboriginal Solar Goddess

Wuriupranili Aboriginal Solar Goddess Image
IN AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINAL MYTHOLOGY, SHE IS KNOWN AS THE SUN WOMAN. "WURIUPRANILI" IS THE ABORIGINAL SOLAR GODDESS WHO TRAVELS ACROSS THE SKY. EVERY MORNING SHE LIGHTS A TORCH MADE OUT OF BARK AND CARRIES IT ACROSS THE HEAVENS FROM EAST TO WEST. THEN, AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN SHE REACHES THE WESTERN COAST, SHE DOUSES THE TORCH TO THE WATER AND USES ITS GLOWING EMBERS TO GUIDE HER WAY BENEATH THE EARTH TO REACH EAST AGAIN. AND EACH MORNING, SHE RISES ONCE AGAIN INTO THE HEAVENS, AND THE FIRE IS ONCE AGAIN LIT TO PROVIDE THE FIRST LIGHT OF DAWN. THE CLOUDS OF THE SUNRISE AND SUNSET IS A REFLECTION OF THE OCHRE BODY PAINTS SHE WEARS.

ONE SUCH TALE DESCRIBES HOW "WURIUPRANILI" AND THE MOON-MAN, "JAPARA", TRAVEL AT DIFFERENT TIMES ACROSS THE SKY. EACH CARRIES A TORCH OF FLAMING BARK, BUT WHEN THEY REACH THE WESTERN HORIZON THEY EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES AND USE THE SMOLDERING ENDS TO LIGHT THEIR WAY AS THEY RETURN EASTWARDS THROUGH THE DARKNESS OF THE UNDERGROUND WORLD.
