Abatwas Tiny Creature of Southern Africa

The Abatwas-

The Abatwa working
with and friendly
ant worker

It is said that these Abatwas are the tiniest creature of human form in existence, these little people standing at only 1/2inches tall coexist peacefully with the ants in the anthills of Southern Africa and life on the foraging from the roots of grasses and other types of plants they can find in the areas where they live. They are very shy and so elusive too, however they tend to reveal themselves to only very young children, wizards and pregnant women.. It is said that the Abatwa will only allow children from age four and younger to seen them. Also if a seventh-month pregnant woman will give birth to a boy if she sees a male Abatwa.
In African folklore they see these legendary little people as a peaceably group that lives within the anthill of
South Africa, living on the roots, grasses and many other different plants. The anthills that they live in can
go very deep, so deep that the human eye can not see these tiny Abatwas. As they have made their homes in the ant hills of Africa which can be quite complex tunnels with highly structured tunnels beneath the earth. Mountains were also good homes for the Abatwas too. They were very good at digging highly structured tunnel in any kinda earth.
It is said that these tiny creatures the Abatwas have many different languages; These could be that of the

Abatwa Riding and Ant 

Elves; Fairies; Dwarves; Goblins; or even that of the Gremlins. Then are usually are gentle and generous spirit creatures, but can be at times mean- spirited and dangerous if provoked . Just like in Ireland myth has
its Leprechaun/ /Scandinavias Myth has the Nornir, And Africa has their little people called the Abatwa
The word 'Abatwa' comes from South Africans mythology in referring to small human-like creatures,
who generally looks exactly like a primitive African tribes, but just very very small. In the ancient myth, the Abatwa were born from Nature spirits, the Vash' Nok's tear the burst and fell to the earth.

African Tribes who maybe generally
from the Abatwas people 

Some believe that the world originally came from allude to the Twa people, also known as the Batwa or the Pygmies who live in the Great Lakes regions of Africa. What is now called Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic or the Congo which is more credible because the Twa people also have smaller figures and stature to this day. Standing at only 1.5 meters / 5 feet tall.
It is said that the Abatwa is only 1/2 inch in height, which would give them the ability to ride on the ants of Africa, live with the ants peacefully in their sometimes huge anthills and hide beneath the tall blades of grass on the enormous planes too. It hasn't really said in how the Abatwas people relate with the ants, but I think in some ways they has a special kinda communicate that only the ants and the Abatwas could understand. I think in someway they used their minds to communicate and it might had a little to do with the ants antennae too. I believe that the Abatwas were able to communicate with many other small animals too do their size and the intelligence with their minds.  Why you may ask? Well Ant societies are very  untied and cohesion, they help each other and obviously distribute their duties among each other and so with the Abatwa people, I feel they might have had a big influence on

Human & Abatwa

the ants social structure including women roles in the society. If you don't know already the ants are a hierarchy society that is ruled by a Queen Ant, and most of her workers male/female, therefore, Its not surprising that the Abatwas first president was a woman.
Some have said that because of their appearance, some cultures may confuse these tiny people of Africa, the
Abatwa with dwarfs or even fairies. Even though they are very much like a fairy they don't have any of the magick power of an Fairy. They are more like tiny humans or nomads with highly hunting-gathering skills. The Abatwas were natural born hunters, despite their tiny body. They can slay their prey several times larger than themselves with their small poisoned arrows which is very virulent, it can bring down small animals.
I found this to be interesting about the folklore of the Abatwa, I hope you do too.. It is said that if an
traveler unexpectedly encounters a Abatwa, it will ask the traveler:
"From where did you first see me? The traveler must answer that he first saw them from far away. If the traveler replies that he/she just saw them right in front of him, the Abatwa will hunt him down. To sun up, Abatwa is an Africans mythical creature that has a very tiny perfect human form. It refers to the Twa people - A native tribe in Africa. Even though they are shy and peaceful, they are born hunters and gathers of all types of plants. their ultimate weapon is a dealy poison arrows. They are a quiet people, but can be very vindictive and extremly dangerous if one mentions their small size. You may found near the anthill or the grassly planes of Africa, but watch your step! If you step in the wrong place it could be the last time you stand with a lethal venom arrow in your foot, without even knowning it because it would feel like a tiny stink.' 

I hope you Enjoyed my new Post on the Abatwas Creatures of South Africa. I am tring to cover all over the world on their differnt mythologys so in time I hope at some point I will have covered one of your places of home! 

Hope you all are well my dears!

Nemesis Goddess

NEMESIS GODDESS-
I thought would do another Goddess of the Ancient Greeks of

Goddess Nemesis
in the heavens of
Olympians 

Olympians. I have done quite a few as of 2014 and I know there are still
many more that I can still do. I was just surfing the web and Nemesis caught
my eye. I hope that this goddess will be as interesting as Many of the Goddesses
that I have done before. Although this goddess Nemesis is a bit more I would say
feminist for one in the ancient Gods and Goddesses of the Olympians. In someways
I think she was a bit before her time.
Nemesis was the Goddess of indignation against and retribution for, evil deeds
and undeserved good fortune. She was a personification of the resentment of any

Goddess Nemesis
Maintaining balance in the
World

type of aroused in men by those who committed crimes with apparent impunity or who had
inordinate good fortune. Nemesis directed all human affairs in such away as to maintain equilibrium in the world/ In a word she brought balance in the human world you could say. Her name meant, 'She who distributes or deals out, happiness and  unhappiness were measured out by her, caring being taken that happiness was not too frequent or too excessive.'  If any of these things happened, it was Nemesis the Goddess that could bring about losses and
suffering, because of those things. As one who checked extravagant favours Goddess Fortune, then Nemesis was regarded as an avenging or punishing divinity or Goddess. In the Myth of Nemesis particularly in matters of love, the Goddess appears as an avenging agent in the ancient tales whose callous actions brought about death and sadness. In some versions of the Trojan War, she was the mother of Helene and is shown in scenes of her seduction by Paris, pointing an accusing finger at the girl.
I also found when looking for images for the Goddess that she was depicted as a winged Goddess quite
often. She will generally be holding a apple-branch, rein, lash, sword or balance. I found this Goddess to be not quite as well known but still yet she is a powerful Goddess in her time. Holding balance in the world as the greek Olympians would gods and Goddesses to bring peace to the earth, but at times I wonder if she might have over used her godly powers too! Its hard to know back in the days of the ancient Greeks.
I hope you Enjoy this new post on Nemesis Goddess my dear Friends and Followers!

Love you All! Your Wendy!

Hippocampus

Hippocampus-
Since I just did a post on the Aughisky Fairy horse 
of Ireland, I thought I would continue with this theme and

Hippocampus

do the Hippocampus creature. These two Mythology creatures 
are very different in their looks and their origins too. The Aughisky Fairy horse
as I just did is from Ireland/Scotland Gaelic ancient times and the 
Hippocampus creature is from Greek-Roman Mythology times. Two very different ares.
The hippocampus is a creature with the upper body of a horse, this includes the 
head neck and forelegs which are quite real and the lower body of a 
dolphin usually ,but sometimes a fish. Although 
there are some rare cases of it being that of a serpent.
But I haven't been able to find any pictures to show of
the hippocampus of the lower body with the serpent, thus
the word rare. In my search for these
fabulous Mythology creatures, I found that, the word Hippocampus is literally means
a sea-horse. Which kinda makes since if you look at these

Hippocampus

amazing Magick creatures they do have a look of a 
Sea-horse just much much larger and more powerful, 
strong and vast is size too. From what I could find on the 
hippocampus horse, it seems that they com 
from the Greek word 'hippos' which is said to mean
horse and 'kampos' means sea monster. So the ancient Greeks
put the two together in my opinion and they came up with
Hippocampus. They are alternatively described as having the lower 
body of a sea-monster, but this just depends on who you are talking too or who you might
be reading on about these I feel in my! opinion beautiful Magick Creatures.
In Greek mythology Poseidon's chariot was drawn by a team of these beautiful 
Hippocampi's. There were other Greek gods of the seas that were often shown sitting or even
riding on this wondrous animals of the sea and ocean. The 

Hippocamppus

hippocamppus are commonly see 
in ancient Greek art and is a mythical creature associated with the Greek God of ocean Poseidon/
Neptune in Roman myth.
These most beautiful hippocampus horse have been depicted in many different
colors. From the pure white to blues, deep greens, blue/greens light blues, silvers,
bronzes, reds and even rainbow colors and more. What these magnificent hippocampus 
do in the sea is a perfect metaphor for the plunging into wave as if the water was butter. 

Hippocamppus

The waves could be even a 100feet in height but they could will move toward them like
they were a small lapping lake. They have been know to save drowning sailor from ships, to pull them 
through difficult passages and do battle with various dreadful monsters of the depths of the
oceans. In the ancient Phoenician and Etruscan fashion, they were sometimes depicted
with wings. Poseidon's favorite Hippocampoi was a stallion named Skylla and a mare named
Sthenios. 
I did find many different cultures other than that of Greece that have their own myths on the
hippocampus. One is among the Seri Indians of Northwestern Mexico, there is a legend  of a
man who had fled into the ocean to escaped his pursuers, before going into the ocean he
tucked his sandals into the back of his shirt above his belt. Once into the water he
was transformed into a seahorse, thus explaining the origin of that animal. Another culture would be that of the hippocampus - Sea-Horse in European with webbed feet in place of hooves, and a long dorsal fin down its back, was in Australia. And finally in Scandinavian Folklore, the call the hippocampus, a Havhest -sea-horse meaning to the Scandinavian people a gigantic Sea-Serpent. Their hippocampus is described as a gigantic sea-serpent with a horselike head and a double-lobed tail like that of a fish. It has glittering yellow eyes, a long mane that goes down its entire back spine and his forelimbs are like that of a seal's. There is more! It has a double row of fangs that can grow up to six feet long. And they say, the hippocampus can also breathes fire too! This hippocampus is more like a hippocampus demon-serpent in my opinion. Why because this one will sink ships and has been only seen a few times since the 19th century.
It is said to this day that the name Hippocampus is now the scientific name to the curious little fish known as the seahorse which I have done a post a while back. Which I find interesting, that they put the two creatures together. They do kinda look some what alike, but in size and the nature of each is quite different. If you look at them the Mythic Creature compared to the seahorse is only tops 14inches long. And that is the biggest, most of the seahorses are on average 6inches or lower. I found this Magick Creature to be very delightful 
much more so that the Aughisky Fairy horse. I wish that If I could go back in time i could ride one of these 
kind and wonderous creatures. I hope you Enjoy the Hippocampus as much a myself :o) I will continue to try and bring you wonderous and magick stories to you all my dear Friends and Followers! 

Love you All! Your Wendy!

The Hippocampus is commonly seen in ancient Greek art and is a mythical creature associated with the Greek god of the ocean - Poseidon (or Neptune in Roman myth). The Hippocampus has the top half of a horse including head neck and forelegs and the lower part of a fish, a dolphin or in some rare cases a serpent. Therefore the Hippocampus is literally a sea-horse. The name comes from the Greek ‘hippos’ meaning horse and ‘kampos’ meaning sea monster.
Poseidon was the god of horses as well as the god of the sea and earthquakes. Many Hippocampi were needed to draw the chariot of the sea of Poseidon. Homer describes Poseidon as driving a chariot pulled by brazen-hoofed horses across the sea. The Hippocampus appears frequently in bronzeware, silverware and paintings of the ancient Greeks and the Etruscans but also feature in the artworks of India and Mesopotamia. According to one tale when the city of Helike was submerged by an earthquake the Hippocampi swam free above the city and pulled on the lines of fisherman's rods. The Hippocampus are also the mounts for the Nerieds and spiritual beings. There are 4 other fish tailed animals like the Hippocampus:
