It reminded me of an excellent short story by R.K. Narayan called A Horse and Two Goats. It's also fascinating how many people around the world have worshipped a corn goddess. The British forgot that they used to worship a corn goddess as well, and that although the belief has been stamped out now, the legacy of it lingers in many of our rural traditions.Andrew Blackmanhttp://www.andrewblackman.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-18785739289860933352011-07-21T00:46:21.582+08:002011-07-21T00:46:21.582+08:00Excellent and most interesting post.
