Subject: more pine cone mythology in other parts of the world..
In reply to: JC 's message, "Re: ok , im back....." on 08:31:56 02/01/10 Mon

In my personal studies regarding the Indo-European people, the pine-cone was a sacred symbol for protection. The Indo-European goddess Zisa, wife of the god Ziu (aka Tyr), and the patron goddess of Augsburg, Bavaria in southern Germany is closely associated with the pine-cone. Even Augsburg's city emblem has a pine-cone in the middle of it...........

Zisa's feast day was listed as September 28 and according to documents found, was still being celebrated by the city of Augsburg during the 11th century a.d. There is a rumor that the eldest church of Augsburg still harbors a small statue of a woman figure holding a basket of pine-cones known as "The Lady" which is believed to originally have been created in the honor of the patron goddess Zisa......




Could the relief, from the temple of the storm god Adda, depicting the "fisherman" carrying a pine-cone and bucket be proof that the ancient Indo-Europeans from the Augsburg region in Bavaria and 14th century b.c. people indigenous to Syria interacted or traded with one another? Shared each others spiritual beliefs and symbols...

or


are we dealing with collective consciousness?
