    This is actually a fascinating look into how these people understood what we now know to be various cycles in nature. The salt in the sea really is the run-off from the land. The water really does carry solutes from the land out to sea, where evaporation creates pure water again and returns it to the land. They would have been able to observe that lands that are drained with a continuous flow are much nicer (for humans) than marshy areas where water stagnates (and you get tons of "xrafstars".)
    All those dead creatures are a part of the carbon cycle, whereby carbon shifts back and forth from CO2 to living systems to minerals.

    Thank you! This was wonderful! Your explanations & examinations of the various passages & charms then connected to evident cosmogeny helped me to see similarities learned from Traditional Oriental Medicine theory.
    For example, the charms moving outward from the core is similar to how the Meridians are worked with in acupuncture & acupressure.
    In this ancient healing practice, it is all about balancing the dichotomy, elements, functions, microcosm & macrocosm. Depending on specific diagnosis & treatment - Top to Bottom, Left to Right, Front to Back, from the center outward, and deep to superficial.
    There is also the roots of Feng Shui as a way to connect the human & their activities with the personal & local environments, as well as the Cosmos. ❤️♾️❤️ I enjoy discussing & learning about the foundations of our humanity! So appreciate your channel & your work!

    PIE keeps on amazing me. The man is the cosmos since cosmos is made of man, so healing the cosmos heals the man...
    On the other hand, Slavic cosmogony is nothing like PIE, almost Biblical. Still from what we know Slavic myth and languages are firmly Indoeuropean. Would you mind to explain what happened there?

    • @Crecganford
      @Crecganford  7 месяцев назад +10

      In short, as I may try and make a video about this one day, the cultures there had no written record before Christianity came along, and when it did it took the myths of the local cultrures and Christianised them, and his turned myth into folklore, and folklore evolves more freely than myth as it isn't deemed so sacred. But you can still find elements of the original myth in some of this folklore, good characters replaced by Jesus, bad gods by the devil, but sometimes elements of the plot remain.

    I personally love the Charm of the Nine Herbs and I found this video helped me look at it in a new light. I love local folk tales of herb names and uses and find it fascinating it can be stemmed from the knowledge that plants came from the primordial being as did we so we can use the various things to help aid us when ill/injured. Another thought I had was on the various sites of healing such as springs and methods of healing such as warm or cold stones to reduce inflammation or pain, though the thought of ancient man rubbing gravel in his wound when you mentions rubbing stone to bone made me chuckle.

    I've been imagining myself using Granny's Drawing Salve for slivers, and to aid other forms of extraction for deeply embedded items beneath the skin, boils etc. It's totally plant based, pine tar, and powerfully healing, an old folk magic recipe that makes me wonder how far back it can be traced.
