Hey guys, Christine recommended I join tis group and post my current research question:
I am presently performing such original research (so far as I know!). Anyway, I was wondering if anyone here might be aware of any scholastic journal articles or books that pontificate about the apparent Indo-European cultural and religious themes from many extensive cultures as they align with Samhain, Imbolc (for which I have found some in Rome as well as Lithuania!), Beltane and Lughnasadh! Sadly, to date, I haven't found any (which is why I ask). But, these same seasonal portals are also roughly found in China! Although, given this occurence in China and Lithuania, there's a possibility that it may also be pre-Indo-European. This comperative methodology, for what it's worth, is known as phenomonology. Sadly, I have read no material that saught to deal with I-E religious holidays!
Also, I'm interested in researching the providence of the hearth-deities (esp. I-E), but...I've found no academic literature that has decided to discuss this particular phenomenon. Is anyone presently familiar with any? (If course, there are many hearth-goddesses, from Hestia, Vesta, Brighid, Gabija, and Tabieta, etc.!) Heck, it seems like no scholars have studied *either* of these potential topics, so far as I know!
Take Care,
