Magical Lore of Animals

by Yvonne Aburrow

Folklore and mythology from all over the world is full of animal stories, and many deities have animal totems associated with them. The animals, birds, trees, and places connected with each deity link all Nature in a web of symbols, showing that everything depends on everything else. Animals represent the power of the deity at work in the world, a visible manifestation of the numinous.

Nothing here that you cannot find on the web.Nothing on real lore of animals.In fact you will reap more on the lore of animals and birds from the old Countryman magazines.
