Molding: Organizations, Tales, Techniques. Cultures, Sub-Cultures, Shaping People

Uncle Remus Tales, Translations - Informal translations of the stories into more traditional spoken English, with references and footnotes. No substitute for dialect. Go back to it and read it aloud. Get the sound in your ear.

Migratory Patterns of Cultural Tales - Stories change change over time, pulled by cultural values. Where did the strong little girls go, until Disneyed to death. Fairy tales, Faerie Tales. The Fey. Archetypes. Meet them again. Red Riding Hood the vivisectionist? Mostly secular, some religious stories.

Vetting Roots. By the Heater. Martin Luther's Stove. Find original texts in transliterations. Mythological roots. Or ambiguity, inconsistency. Close readings. Then see ideologies get to work: add this, omit that, downplay the other thing, change meaning. Ideas squashed by systems. Sausage into casings.

Religious Text Analysis, Tools

By Dint:

Creation

Creation: How did Evil originate? Not with Eve
A small play that Eden as spun did not see play, but you may.

Translation, Transliteration, what origins of what concepts, and were they agenda-driven? Silly question, Ben.

Context
Mithraism, Religion of Rome and Paul
And roots of the Roman Catholic branch of Christianity.

Characters: Tracing Fact from Elaboration
Sara la Kali, Sara the Black, Roma Saint

Explanations, file under Other

Pantera (Tiberius Julius Abdes Pantera), and Religious Tradition 
A persistent but speculative secular explanation for events many see as divine.  Keep an open mind, now. Often the simplest is so, rather than the convoluted compled; and need not affect other matters.
