Yes, like the pyramids, the man-beast, shapeshifter (or some like to generalize as "shaman" though it would be difficult for me to label Herne, say, as a shaman) is a symbol that pervades across the centuries. And in this way, these symbols are indeed universal. Yet I am not convinced that their meaning to different peoples at different times is universal. Which, I believe is what you too are saying. It is curious and I sometimes I wish that I was better educated in that arena.

In other words, we are all called to certain symbols, but we also all used them or interpreted them differently. It's a pretty fascinating and complex phenomenon, if I'm not totally off-base about it existing.Archer's Boneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15507043334472692421noreply@blogger.com
