good thing psychological research has progressed since this was published in 1968 (now they would prove it with a big online survey) https://t.co/T0paPL1JM1 https://t.co/Bl2LskxvM3
@bigmastertroll @literalbanana You learn this stuff almost automatically if you lived on a farm due to the demands of animal husbandry. Some native American tribes, as well as Viking cultures, seemed to even have these things as part of the way they frame the calendar.
@bigmastertroll @literalbanana "hare moon" seems to often be the 'honey moon'. Turns out a barrel full of mead as a gift for a weddings would make people fuck like rabbits. So much that it became part of their cultural time keeping norms.
@bigmastertroll @literalbanana It seems in many of these cultures, health knowledge used to be the domain of the woman. Gods that were a 'keeper of the hearth' show up a lot. Likely be teaching their daughters and sisters how to ... perform rituals, like baby making.
@bigmastertroll @literalbanana I often wonder what these old stories are supposed to be about. https://t.co/I5NAygs74kDo you think it was about pissing on tree saplings to grow the forests that they used wood from, to make boats out of?
@bigmastertroll @literalbanana I remember in grade school that we learned about reproduction in frogs in like 2nd grade. Didn't have a reproductive health class until high-school, and the facts were often wrong or misleading.Its funny how many people think you impregnate via the belly button. https://t.co/Ahgern0lma
