Garden of Doom E. 271 Peacocks are Proud
from Garden of Thought · host Jeff Lippman
Another curiosity checked off my list. Thanks to Cee the Superior, we finally tackled to Peacock. It's not just NBC that;s proud as a peacock. The peacock is ubiqitous in cosmologies, mythologies, and symbology around the world and across traditions. So, I sent Cee to researching. And research she did! But the unusual happened: I researched too. And acquired someone else's research and actually read it! He's Hera's favorite animal. He's pre-eminent in India. He's associated with Osiris. There's also the Peacock Angel in what we'll call the Abrahamic religions. I learned about the Yezidi who have The Peacock as both creator God and ruler of the world. So, my notion that the Peacock was more important than just being a pretty fella turned out to be true. Come on in and listen.
