Saffron Crocus Myths & Cultic Associations
It may not be quite a final draft but I've gone ahead & posted at my
website a preliminary version of a long essay on the Cretan, Greek, & Indic mythology of the oldest continuously cultivated flower in the world, the saffron crocus. It's divided into three pages which begin he http://www.paghat.com/saffronmyth.html illustrated with photos of the saffron crocuses in my gardens, & with pictures of numerous "saffron mothers" such as was the usual title of Dawn-goddesses. -paghat the ratgirl -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher. "Oh, sir! The flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature. -from Peter Newell's "Wild Flowers" See the Garden of Paghat the Ratgirl: http://www.paghat.com/ |
