Faerie Shadows Research Paper

The story of the Sky Woman, her daughter and twin grandsons depicts the beginning of the world and creates the belief that everyone is born with good and evil in them. The significance of nature influences how the Native Americans belief that nature, animals, and humans are equal counterparts. If it had not been for the help of the animals, Sky Woman would have died and the creation of earth would not exist. The twins play a significant role among the Iroquois that the good and evil are necessary for the world to be in balance. The belief that Sky Woman is the leader of all female life who “controls the rise and fall of the waters and a companion to the stars” (Olan, n.d.) and “regulates the monthly cycles of all females in which guarantees new life will be born” (Olan, n.d.). The myth signifies the Native American belief of how the creation and reincarnation of humans connects to the rise and fall of the sun and moon.

Light is used in the story to symbolize hope in a world full of despair and dark times. “We could not see our body nor feel it, and in that moment nothing existed save our two hands over a wire glowing in a black abyss” (Rand 60). Equality has discovered electrical light which was destroyed and hidden many years ago. The light also meant to symbolize Equality’s new found in a society where hope is outlawed leaving people sad and depressed with no knowledge of other emotion. A light in a world of “darkness” has

The goddess of nature named Aura, who created light and darkness as a balance. As darkness eroded over light, evil, pain and suffering inhabited the world along with humans and creatures such as giant spiders and lizards in which it represents fear. The goddess realized that this isn’t what was planned. The war between the goddess and the creatures who upset the equilibrium between light and darkness. As the goddess began to balance light and darkness, she traps the excess darkness into a sacred diamond surrounded by her divine powers. As that happened, the ginormous creatures shrunk to resemble the declension of darkness. The goddess next plan were to put the diamond in an area where the sequence of the sacred hierophany in a human form who

There were once a god, and a goddess whose names were The Sun Father, and the Moonlight-Giving Mother. The Zuni tribe of Pueblo, Western Mexico worshipped these two gods as night and day. One day the Sun Father, and Moonlight-Giving Mother came together during a solar eclipse causing the creation of a child who was named Lusio, The God of Light. Lusio was the creation of both the Sun Father, and Moonlight-Giving Mother, thus he had inherited both the powers of his parents. He had the ability to control the light of the sun during the day, and the light of the moon during the night, however; as he grew older he started to resent his parents because he did not see the need for two gods to control both when there could be one mighty and powerful god. One day he confronted them “Mother, father why must there be a Sun Father and Moonlight-Giving Mother if I can control both night and day, I should be the only god that can control light” Lusio said.

It was finally summer break and Lila Jefferson was glad that she gets a break from the harsh homework of Magicae Academy. Although the name sounds pretty cheesy, magicae (pronounced like magic-eye) being the Latin word for magic, it was a great school. The teachers were some of the most talented in the United States and taught spells according to the Elemental or Mental spell they excel at.

There was once a Kingdom,a kingdom on the moon.This Kingdom om Merrida consisting of Luna,Sera and Rhena.When Rhena Merrida had kids they had to kill them in order to stay alive because their children's

"Why should I care about some lady living in a tree?" Is the question that I asked myself before I read the book ‘The Legacy of Luna'. Like most people, I glanced at its contents ran my fingers through the pages and decided that it would not interest me. However it was not long before I changed my mind after reading about her magnificent inner strength and my doubts were soon disbanded for I began to realize its inspiration and the author's inner strength.

Despite being equal in both power and brilliance, the two sister goddesses were worlds apart in demeanor. Helia, the brilliant lady of the sun, was a goddess of the people and wrapped her followers in a warm embrace and a laugh that tinkled like the chiming of spring bells. While she was still mortal, she spent her days charming the citizens of her town, a gaggle of children never far behind her. By contrast, her sister, Mut, preferred solitude in the forest with the beasts of the wilderness as her sole company. Mut, the shimmering lady of the moon, was a mysterious beauty and rarely showed herself to any human. However, she was always the silent force, guiding her followers down the right path and keeping even the darkest of times illuminated

What the Light Was - This piece. What can I say? I wish it were ten more pages. As a (Nevadan) desert-born girl, I have loved trees for as long as I can remember. Maybe it's because I only got to see them every now and then, so they became special to me. Maybe it's because they called to my soul like a long-distance friend that you miss a little bit every day whether you notice it or not. The first line caught me immediately, "The ancient Mexicas, my ancestors, believed that if you are chosen to be loved by a particular tree, that love is the greatest love there is" (21).

Her beauty was inside of her. I shall resurrect She-Wolf in her true beauty. The Moon Goddess then waved her hand over the edge of the mountain and brings up She-Wolf. However, the She- Wolf that ascended was not the She-Wolf Wolf murdered. This wolf had silky white fur and eyes of jasper that pierced the soul. Wolf saw She-Wolf and craved for her. “The craving you feel now,” said the Moon Goddess, “is the craving you will feel for all eternity. Your craving for She-Wolf will not be satisfied. You will not be able to gaze upon She-Wolf ever again. All you will have is your memory. From now on She-Wolf will be with me in my realm on the moon.” With that, the Moon Goddess and She-Wolf disappeared in a flash of moonlight. Wolf was left in despair. From then on, on every full moon, Wolf climbed Snowy Summit-less Mountain, and howled at the full moon part in despair and part in hopes that She-Wolf would return. The Moon Goddess heard Wolf’s cry but he did not satisfy his want as she had promised. However, the Moon Goddess did send Wolf another female wolf, but the Goddess made it so that there was no connection between the two. The only purpose for the female wolf was for Wolf to pass on his permanent despair to his children, and now all of Wolf’s children howl to the full moon to mourn the loss of

“The waning moon hung defiantly in the night sky, enveloped by the thriving darkness. It hovered undefeated, ruling over the pitch-blackness cloaking the earth.” Lunam and Lux know that the darkness is to be feared, however they can’t help but question its existence to the elders in their village. They must learn to face their fears and dare the darkness to battle, and so the pair learn to be as the moonlight, shining bright in the face of the hungry darkness.

“Have you heard of the Goddess Edana?” Sven asked over the fire. The stars were already out, the night sky a blanket for the Kingdom of Felhine. And beneath the stars, sitting in the midst of a forest was a man and woman around a fire. The man a strong and proud warrior of the north, broad shoulders accompanied by defined and battle tested muscle. He looked very much the part of a barbarian, and the way he fought only confirmed that. But who Sven really was was a mercenary, and adventurer, a sell sword. Traveling the kingdom to experience life at it 's fullest. And the woman across from him? Her name was Charlotte, a daughter of a nobleman who up until a few hours ago was in the oh so

“Of course dear, your grandmother lived in a time of light―the world wasn’t dark like it is today. There was green everywhere and meager creepy crawlers danced around your feet. Grandmother told me of a sky that changed colors and something called warm. There were days where she would sit under a tree with its billowy branches and feel the warmth and the wind collide around her. She spoke of the sky and when it was full of fire and light. Many of these things are gone now Lum, ever since the Darkness came. That’s why your grandmomma is gone; the Darkness consumed many people upon its arrival. The fiery sky

She feels that the light was there when her prayers didn’t work anymore. The light gave her courage
