HAPPY FRIDAY!
This week's selection comes from the Dictionary of Symbols by Tom Chetwynd. It is based mainly on Jungian psychology which is only partly why I bought it. Why it's the closest to me right now is because I looked up in the sky the other day and saw two clouds next to each other that looked like frogs. Exactly like frogs. I was curious was Jung had to say about the symbology of frogs! So here's my 56:
This is under the symbology of the Body.
Youth juxtaposed with Old Age, or the Child with Man or Woman occur frequently in symbolism to depict the crises of change in the process of living through the different PERIODS of life.

Sounds like an interesting book! Haven't gone beyond skimming Jung for school but always thought he was fascinating.

So is that what Jung had to say about the symbology of frogs? Or is that the 56? I'm confuzzled.

Celebrating Biblical Feasts
by Martha Zimmerman
It was seriously the closest book! I'm gearing up for our school year and we'll be celebrating all the Old Testament feasts this year.
hahaha! That's the greatest quote Ruthanne! I don't even care what comes before or after, it's funny like that!
What an odd quote from what I'm guessing is an interesting book. I like how it ended up being closest!
Here's my Friday 56.

That sounds like an interesting book! I studied Jung in school as part of my degree in Human & Child Development. He is brilliant. I would love to see what he says about alligators/crocodiles. I dreamt of those when I was a child.
Oddly it doesn't say anything about either but there is a section on Animals, but it depends on what you're do with the animal: helping it, fighting it, turning into it, etc.
Very interesting.
My Friday 56 is HERE
