This was on my mind a
few days ago and I was thinking about how much astrology is in mythology and
religion. I was just casually thinking about the Griffin (actually it's a dragon) in Welsh mythology and
having never looked into it before. I went to Wikipedia for a quick answer
Ophichius /Opinicus/ Griffin/Opincus. It seems common misunderstanding has
confused the Griffin with a dragon. I am just one of many that confuse the two
mythical creatures, lol.
The mythical unicorn/ Monoceros as shown in a previous blog post is a
constellation too. Well at least we know that the wild Haggis of Scottish
humorous mythology is not a constellation in the night sky and is actually
food. So, you don't need to get your planisphere out to check for that.
Seriously though, mythology is a great subject that reveals so much to us
of human history, if we have the keys to understanding it. It also hides the
truth of human origins when examined closely.
This is the Welsh Red Dragon, represents the constellation of Draco.
