Three Mythical Elements

"After thus partaking of the sanctified fruits, a man is himself sanctified for the whole year, and may immediately get in his crops.  It is believed for that if any man were to partake of the new fruits before the festival, he would die; if he were detected, he would be put to death, or at least all his cattle would be taken from him."

A feather......

Floating with ease through wind and air. The extension of a bird and the working warmth of a down comforter.

A snowflake.....

Each more unique then the next. No two are the same but do share the same make up, as with the stories of myth and their uniqueness.

A coal......

Burns slowly and low, but it heat is instant and intense. Stories of myth behave much this same way.  They may lay low and not be fully realize, but when they are discovered their message and ideas can be intense.
