Children get more from one day in the forest than a lifetime in a church.
They do not need indoctrination, but creative and spiritual freedom.
The wild is our sanctuary, where we have communion with our gods and healing of the soul is found there.
“Nature and children are natural playmates; they're both wild and messy, unpredictable and beautiful.”
- Mark Hoelterhoff
Gaulish soldier and his daughter captive in Rome, Fèlix-Joseph Barrias (1847).

Generally, as a Greek, i would say that the Erasmian pronunciation of Ancient Greek is awful and not just that. I feel like it is a disgrace to kill the language like that, the above post is enough from the Greek side to understand that Ancient Greek is more melodic than the garbage the West shows!
Seikilos Epitaph, the oldest Greek song - by Nektaria Karantzi
Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ
πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶ τὸ ζῆν
τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.

While you live, shine
Don't suffer anything at all;
Life exists only a short while
And time demands its toll.
The Seikilos epitaph is the oldest surviving example of a complete musical composition, including musical notation in the world. The song, the melody of which is recorded, alongside its lyrics, in the ancient Greek musical notation, was found engraved on a tombstone, in the Hellenistic town of Tralles, near Aidin, present day Turkey (not far from Ephesus). The find has been dated variously from around 200 BC to around AD 100.
It is a Hellenistic Ionic song in either the Phrygian octave species or Iastian tonos. While older music with notation exists (for example the Hurrian songs), all of it is in fragments; the Seikilos epitaph is unique in that it is a complete, though short, composition.

Wild Boar (Sus Scrofa)
A creature of myth and magic, the Wild Boar has been revered across the Isles for thousands of years. Honoured for its strength and courage, the boar (Eofor) features on many ancient heraldic crests.
In the Isles, Wild Boar are closely associated with the ‘otherworld’; linked with folk idols as Fionn Mac Cumhaill, Culhwch & Olwen, and Odin, the creature was a precious totem for those of a warrior or hunter persuasion.
Amongst wise folk, the tusks of the boar were coveted as greatly powerful in keeping away malignant forces as well as an aid for women during child birth, their bristles would be boiled with fresh water in copper cauldrons to conjure rain and storms, and it’s flesh would be ritually consumed to impart valour and victory when going into battle.
