What are the possible real navel stories in different cultures?

In Hindu culture, the navel is considered the origin of life. It is believed that the universe was created from Lord Vishnu's navel, from which a lotus grew, and Brahma, the creator, emerged. This shows the high significance of the navel in their religious beliefs.

In Middle Eastern cultures, a mom who is very public about her family's private matters might be considered breaking a taboo. Family privacy is highly valued there. She might share things like financial problems or family disputes outside the family, which is not acceptable. In African cultures, there could be a taboo story about a mom who doesn't follow the traditional ways of passing on cultural values to her children. For instance, if she doesn't teach her daughters the traditional ways of cooking or dressing in a particular ethnic style.

In ancient Greek culture, sculptures often depicted the female form with a certain elegance regarding the torso area which could be related to the navel and breast areas. These sculptures were seen as ideals of beauty. In the context of wives, they were expected to maintain a certain grace and beauty. The way the body was presented in art was also a reflection of how society saw the female body at that time. But again, it was more about art and cultural ideals rather than anything improper. There are also African cultures where the female body, including the breast area, is celebrated in a more natural and tribal - art - related way, and wives play important roles in the family and community, and their bodies are seen as part of the cultural fabric.

In some cultures, there are taboos about a mother showing too much physical affection in public after a certain age of the child. It's seen as inappropriate. For example, in some conservative Asian cultures, a mother hugging or kissing a teenage son in a very public way might be frowned upon as it goes against the cultural norms of propriety and modesty.

Yes, in Greek mythology, there are stories related to mermaid - like creatures. The Sirens were half - bird, half - woman, but they had an alluring quality similar to mermaids. They lured sailors with their songs. While not exactly a traditional love story, it shows the connection between human and these mythical beings. Some sailors were so entranced that they might have been considered 'in love' in a sense.

In Welsh mythology, there is the story of the Red Dragon. It was a symbol of Wales. According to the legend, the Red Dragon fought against a white dragon which represented the Saxons. Eventually, the Red Dragon prevailed. This story is not only about a dragon but also about national identity and pride in Wales.

Well, different origin stories in various cultures can have a big impact on how people view the world. For example, in some Native American origin stories, nature is seen as a living entity that humans are a part of. This can lead to a more sustainable way of living. In contrast, some Western origin stories focus more on a single creator and the idea of humans having dominion over nature, which has led to different environmental attitudes.

In Western cultures, as mentioned before, it's related to the clash between pagan and Christian beliefs. Christianity tried to overshadow pagan symbols, and the goat, being a significant symbol in paganism, was made into a symbol of the devil. In some African cultures, there are different interpretations. Some local superstitions may associate the goat with negative spirits not exactly the same as the Western 'devil' but still malevolent entities. This could be due to the behavior of goats during certain times, like when they seem to act erratically during a lunar eclipse or other natural phenomena.

Yes. In Chinese folklore, there are stories of jiangshi, which are a type of vampire - like creature. They are reanimated corpses that hop around and are often said to be created when a person's soul fails to leave the body properly after death. They are different from the Western vampire as they don't usually have the fangs and the seductive allure that Western vampires are known for.

In some European cultures, a mother - daughter relationship might involve a daughter painting her mother's toenails as a bonding experience. This can be seen as a form of 'feet worship' in a light - hearted way, as it's an act of care and closeness. It shows how the daughter values her mother and wants to do something special for her.
