Fables and Folklore

Ermm... No not unless you like to feed on blood and protect Moroi vampires.... :/

Well, if it flies on the side of your head, turns to you, then stares at you means you will die, but I don't know what happens if it just stares at you.

Unicorns and Centaurs. Centaurs have the body of a horse but the chest, head and arms of a man cut off at the waist. Unicorns are just like horses with a magical horn on their head.

The answer to this question hinges on one's view of the bible in general and Genesis 1-11 in particular. The way one answers this will be correlated with whether one things Eden, Adam and Eve, Cain, Noah and the Great flood were real or myths. I commend the view that Methuselah was real and Genesis can be trusted. However, Genesis 1-11 must be understood rightly, especially regarding the two different physical worlds which Genesis implies (ours and the 'pre-flood world' of Methuselah). Let me outline how Genesis 1-11 should be understood:

Eden is in another place, unlocatable by later man and beyond our present experience. But it was not just Adam and Eve who inhabited an unlocatable place beyond our present experience. Rather, all of the ancient patriarchs, from Adam through to Noah, lived in a different physical world to ours. The whole account of Genesis 2:4-4:10 and Genesis 4:25-8:14 is set in this other physical universe. There were two 'miraculous' crossings from that world to ours. The first is the eviction of Cain from that world to ours, explicitly mentioned in Genesis 4:11-14 with implications described and explained in Genesis 4:15-24. The second is the miraculous translation of the ark of Noah from that world to ours, implied between Genesis 8:14 and Genesis 8:15. The implications of the 'translation' of the ark into our world are spelt out in Genesis 8:16-9:18.The physical world in which they lived - the 'pre-flood world' - is a different world from ours. It is different in that people could not cross over from that world to ours without God's special intervention. It is different in that the pre-flood world has been destroyed, so that no humans or land-based animals now live there. It is different in its geography and topology from our world, likely having no mountains. It is different in that Eden is there, with the tree of life in the garden in Eden, and with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil also there. Those things are not in our world. It is different in that there are most likely no rainbows in that world. It is different in that it was once a place where people could live forever in perfection. It is a place where humans did not evolve through a process of evolution through natural selection. Therefore it was a place where humans and animals did not show apparent signs of 'poor design' in their anatomy. It is a world where life has not always been overshadowed by death. It is a world that has never known carnivorous activity. It is a very different world to ours.

Yet it is the same world as our world. It has (or had) rivers with the same names as rivers in our world, in analagous places. A place in our world can be spoken of as being 'to the East' of a place in that world. It can be thought of as a parallel world. Only Cain and Noah (with Noah's family and the animals) have ever crossed over from that world to ours. At the time of the sin of Adam, around 4000 B.C., the 70 million or so pre-humans in our world were made human by God, all at the same time. In around 3900/3800 BC, Cain was cast out of the pre-flood world into our world, and married a woman from our world, not far from Mesopotamia. Cain's entrance into our world was key in the rise of civilization, which was initiated in Mesopotamia shortly after Cain's arrival. It was the pre-flood world which was flooded and completely destroyed, around 2300 BC, while our present world was not ever destroyed by a global flood. Noah's ark was miraculously translated from that world to our world, after the waters had abated in that world (between Genesis 8:14 and Genesis 8:15). For a short time in human history, the descendants of people from the pre-flood world lived much longer lives than the descendants of people from our world. For a short time, they lived these long life-spans alongside other people who had much shorter life expectancies.

Each culture developed separately from each other, a bit like a religion. They each formed their own opinion of the world, and because of lack of easy transportation, the myths and legends of each culture had years to develop before they were taken and told in different areas. For instance, why would Europe know of the myth of the Mouse and the Douglas Fir Cone, when they have no Douglas Fir trees? They didn't know that Douglas Fir cones look like they have mouse butts sticking out of them, so they didn't come up with an explanation for it. So they didn't know it until they came to America and were told the myth by the Native Americans.

In addition, people came up with different explanations for the same phenomena. Why would the Greeks think that Apep swallowed the sun, when they never heard of him? And why would they have heard of him, with little to no contact with the Egyptians who came up with the Great Snake?

And they would also be influenced by the nature of certain animals in each area. For instance, most Asian cultures have snakes as a wise animal, because they are less likely to attack a person than a snake from, say, Austalia, where many extremely poisonous snakes reside.

Sorry that this answer is so long - you just asked a loaded question.

Pandora was created by the gods as part of a punishment against mankind after Prometheus stole fire from the gods. Pandora was 'gifted' by many of the gods, her make her seductive and 'perfect'. Now Pandora enchanted Prometheus's brother, Epimetheus, whom wished to marry her, against the warnings of his brother. Zeus gave Pandora the box on her wedding day and told her never to open it. But one of the gifts Pandora was given was the gift of curiosity and she opened it. When she did, all of the evils, ills, diseases, and burdensome labor that mankind had not known previously, escaped from the jar, but it is said, that at the very bottom of her jar, there lay hope.

the myth never intended to imply that Pandora acted out of malice in opening the jar as she quickly closed the jar immediately after opening it. Rather her curiosity is said to have been the cause of her actions.

Here is a simpler way of understanding it. Curiosity killed the cat. It's alright to have a healthy curiosity, but there could be consequences

Which type? Demon and Ghost are general names for groups of creatures. a polterguist could probably do huge damage, and not the easiest thing to get rid of

A general Haunting is more likely to be an echo of someone, normally not that dangerous.

Demon is used to cover a wide range of creatures including Vampires and some ghost types

In mythology Demons tend to appear stronger

Well, people beleived they were rejected angels, thristy for peoples blood to keep them alive, since their spirit was still in heaven, so they would feed off other poeples souls. It later changed to blood somehow. So people warded them off with the holy cross as if to remind the vampires what they had done to be rejected, which (sorry!) i don''t know.

Well in the Canterbury Tales, the characters were all on a pilgrimage to Canterbury, to the shrine of St. Thomas.

The June Bonfire Festival (Festas Juninas) in Brazil are a tradition originally in honor of St. John. It is said that for letting others and the Virgin Mary know when John had born, his mother Elizabeth told that she would light a fire and stand a pole with a doll on top, so from a distance others could know of his birth. So she did and John was born on June 24.

The festival was called Joanina before. Now it is dedicated to St. Anthony (June 13), St. John (June 24) and St. Peter (June 29). June bonfire festivals occur at squares, clubs, schools and churches and consist in a mock country wedding by light of bonfires as well as games, music, dance and fireworks.

There are people with blood fetishists who drink human blood, but a vampire is a person who physically needs the blood, not just enjoys drinking it. I have to drink blood or my heart goes crazy and I feel like my chest is splitting in half. Then blood comes out of my pores on my hand and I have to drink that. This has happened since I was born. Everyone at school calls me a vampire because my canine teeth are unusually large and also because if I bleed i suck more blood out. When I see blood I go crazy and my heart wants it. My chest starts up again and blood runs out. All my classmates are totally freaked out when it happens cause I look like I'm having some sort of seizure. My favorite blood type is O negative. It's the sweetest kind. My sister does this too. She is weaker about denying blood during the day. I'm weaker at night. That's when the worst pain of all starts. That's when I usually drink the blood. If I miss a day of drinking blood horrible things happen. I did that once and I woke up with blood all over me and three severed rabbit heads were beside me. My mom was so freaked out that she nearly passed out. Ever since then I've been careful not to forget to drink blood. Does that make me a vampire? What about my sister?
