    The way you fully engage in the story you are speaking is downright magical. It is as if your entire body and essence becomes the story. It is so cool!
    I was particularly struck with your performance in this story because I actually see a part of myself reflected in it. Ever since I was quite young I have had a talent for writing and performing deeply moving speeches/monologues, but I have never really been all too sure about how to use that talent. In recent years I have been working as a solo game dev. Taking a break from the industry to build the game that will be chock full of stories, characters, and themes that truly speak to my heart. Even though I am deep in the technical work (programming, data management, systems, etc.), dialogues/monologues, sketches, paintings, of some the characters are already starting to fill some journals. And so it seems... the pieces of me start coming together, they just have not fully manifested yet.
    The day my vision fully manifests and people play my game, I want them to feel what I felt while I took in this story. In other words, I want them to see themselves in it and hence feel inspired to bring the greatest rendition of their creativity to this world too.

      The fact that you'd mention Hermes is so appropriate, on a number of levels. A few years back I undertook a meditation that is meant to reveal to you your spirit guides, and lo and behold the symbology of Hermes came to me while deep in that session. He most certainly is with me.

    This is very much like the Japanese Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, who found and adopted the Moon Princess. Its an idea that the 'sky tribe' would foster their kids out with kindly workers among the humans who would gain the favor of the gods for that work. She would spread their ways, but she would inevitably return to them after learning a lesson, that she could bring back to them.

    i´ve never heard of that tale, it´s
    possible that it´s from one of the
    sami tribes.. it´s not the "sami"
    in the real tradition, it´s different
    tribes that had different beliefs.
    usually though both sun (sun mother,
    Beaivi) and her daughter (Beaivi-nieda)
    are female.
    akka is usually the latter part of
    the deity name (meaning old woman,
    so it was daughter of old woman).
    they literally call the sun god Beaivi
    "the mother of humans" (humans
    meaning the sami).
    personally i agree with her being
    female because also the finnish
    equilevant of that name Päivi is female.
    also it´s female in most of the other
    uralic tribes (Kou-niamy=sun-mother
    for the nganasans and so forth).
    but you know, it was families of deities,
    so it´s however you want to see it,
    from patriarcal or matriarcal point
    of view :)

    • @TheStoryCrow
      @TheStoryCrow  7 місяців тому

      Thanks for sharing this. This folktale is primarily taken from the book ‘Siberian Folktales’ where it is attributed to ‘The Sami’. I’ve seen her same spelt differently and variations on the tale, but always ‘Sami’. But of course, beliefs between tribes under this vague umbrella term may vary of course.
