Echidna

Echidna-

Echidna 'Mother of all Monsters'

In this post my dears, I am going to bring you to Echidna. There have been many different versions of her
tale in Greek Mythology but, I found this account to be the most appealing and I would like to thing the most truth. Echidna parents were said to be Peiras and Styx long ago in the Age of the Gods of Zeus and Goddess of Hera. Echidna was a Drakaina, with the face and torso of a beautiful woman [sometimes said to be that of a beautiful Nymph on top] and the body of a serpent. Echidna - in Greek mean Exiova - ekhis - meaning 'she is a viper'. Who is a legendary monster in Greek Mythology. "MOTHER OF ALL MONSTERS''. because most of the monsters in Greek mythology were believed to be her offspring. You may ask why? its because the Gods described her as the Goddess fierce Echidna who is half a nymph with lusting eyes, fair cheeks and a sexual bodes. Then below her half again a huge snake, great and awful , with speckled skin. Eating raw flesh beneath the secret parts of the holy earth of her cave, that is deep down under a hollow rock far from the gods/goddess and all mortal men. There is where the Gods appointed her a glorious house to dwell in. And of course Echidna keeps guard of her home in Arima beneath the earth. In other versions of this tale some say Echidna was the daughter of Tartarus and Gaea/ or Ceto and Phorcys/Chrysaor and the naiad Challirhoe. It's really hard to tell it been so long ago. All we know is that is is the Mother of all the Monsters of the Greek Mythology. And the Gods/Goddess had placed her in high ranks to give her a grand home secret cave to live out her days in. The site of her cave was called 'Arima.' Now life wasn't always calm and quite for the Mother of all Monsters even though she was in a good light of sorts with Zeus God of the Olympians. There is one story that I did find about Echidna, that

Echidna in her Cave

Zeus had to punish her. Its seems that Echidna and her mate Typhon, went to attacked the Olympians. So Zeus had to beat them back and punish them. He punished Echidna lover Typhon by sealing him under Mount Etna. However, Zeus allowed Echidna and her children to live as a challenge to to future heroes. There were other stories according to the different gods and goddess of the Olympians. One of these stories was being that she was immortal and a ageless beautiful nymph - Echinda used to 'carry off passers to her cave' until she was finally killed where she slept by the Argus Panoptes the hundred-eyed giant. Of course there are many other stories of Echidna being that she is the mother of all monsters. It would be to hard to but all their offspring and stories in one post. So what I thought I would do is just name a few for you all; Echidna was the mother by Typhon by many
monstrous offspring; The two-headed dog; Cerberus - the many-headed dog which guarded the gates of Hades; The Lernaean Hydra - many-headed sea monster which when one of its heads was cut off grew two more; The Chimera - the fire breathing beast that was part lion,part goat and had a snake-head tail; Caucasian Eagle ; The Crommyonian Sow; The Gorgon; The Colchian Dragon - that guarded the Golden Fleece; The Teumessian Fox -A fox that was destined never to be caught;
Finally one of last of her offspring I think that rather interesting is that Ladon the dragon which guarded the Golden Apples in the Garden of the Hesperides. So there you have the Mother of all Monsters of the Greek Gods/Goddess of the Olympians. Most famous was her dragon that guarded the Golden Apples of Hesperos; the Hydra - the many-headed dragon/serpent; The Chimaera; The Orthus a hell-dog; And the

Cerberus - an more famous of the hell-dog with three heads; The Crommyonian Sow; the Cancasus Eagle and finally the Nemean Lion. Echidna was at times definitely a creepy and scary monster Yet beautiful monster of sorts with her beautiful Nymph upper half on top. She live with her mate Typhon [this was the monster who had challenged all the Greek Gods and ended up under Mt. Aetna or having it thrown on top of him by Zeus himself in a cave in Scythia. Which ended the happy relationship between Echindna and Typhon. However as I have noted above Zeus allowed Echidna and her children future monsters to live in her home cave to challenge future heroes. In fact that is what happened in Greek history.. So my dears,

Readers, Friends and Followers I hope that you find this Mother of all Monsters Echidna interesting as

I did myself I hope to find more interesting tales & stories for you all .I love you all very much your WENDY

Super Harvest Moon Last Night-

Harvest Moon Last Night-

SuperMoon In Seattle

Last night was an Super Moon which is called an Harvest Moon, the full moon that falls the closest to Autumnal Equinox.
Its considered to be the fullest moon that falls the closest to the earth the first day of autumn. This year it happens to be a super moon because it will be the closes to the earth last night 'Harvest Moon' and it won't happen again til the year 2017'. I myself got to see it last night and I must say it was beautiful hear in Seattle Washington. Standing in my garden we had a little family affair with my husband and my son around 6pm and then I check it out again at 12am and it was beautiful too. I could see the glow of my garden with the Harvest Moon. I hope that your folks all over the world had a peek at the Harvest Moon last night. Since we will have to wait till the next one til the year 2017..
How for a bit of history about the Harvest Moon - It seems that for many years farmers have taken advantage of the light of the Super moon after the sun had set. It allows them to work into the night to gather their Autumn harvest. Although last night will shed a bit more light on the farmers fields because the Harvest moon is a Supermoon'. This effect happens when the moons elliptical orbit brings it the closest to the Earth. I my research on SuperMoon we have had the total of 5-Supermoons! 2-in January; 1-July; 1-August and Now September, 9 2014 too. Now some say with these super full moons it coincides with natural disasters. And other believe that the appearance of these so many Supermoons within this year may trigger major disasters on our planet such as volcanic, enormous storms, earthquakes and even higher tides within the shorelines. The Native Americans and settlers of the south west would call the supermoon a huge moon of the summer the Comanche Moon. It has also been called at various times the Harvest Moon, Corn Moon, The Buck Moon and the Strugeon Moon. It's interesting with the Supermoon /Harvest Moon that we had Last night on September 9, 2014 had narrowly beat another October Full Moon Harvest Moon. It seems that if the September supermoon had happened 16hours earlier this year the October 2014 Full Moon would have claimed the Harvest Moon... So now it seem it was the last October Harvest Moon was Oct 4,2009 and the next one will occur in the year of 2017 of OCT 5.

I also discovered that all of us around the world will see the Supermoon Harvest Moon basically the same across the US and even from across the world. Which makes it quite unique in away if you think about! However, Some of us will see the Supermoon as a shining solitary splendor of glowing white, while others might see it as a big reddish moon low in the sky, even more might seen it low in the horizon as a splendor of glowing white moon just a bit smaller than some across the world. At any rate I hope that all of you were able to get a glimpse of the Supermoon last night, where ever you might be around thee world.

The image above is a shot I found of the Supermoon In Seattle where I am..

I love your all my dears,friends, readers and followers I hope your Monday is going well.

Brass Dragon

Brass Dragon-

A Brass Dragon High Up on a
Rock in the High Desert

For today's post I am going to bring you to the Sandy desert regions of the Brass dragons. Yes for my Love for the Dragon! I give you the Brass Dragon! These Dragons love the Sandy desert regions much like that of the Yellow Dragons which I have done a post on them too. These Dragons crave the sunlight and dry heat, so naturally the desert would be their prefer place to live. These Brass dragons like to make their lairs in the high rocky caves in the hot Savannah's and other similar areas of the deserts. They will also make their lairs in very steep mountains that are in the deserts of the face of canyon walls preferably, so they can enjoy the morning sun. This way they don't have to go to far to enjoy the sunny bathe which these brass dragons do love their sunny. And the morning sun is their favorite. The way that these Brass dragons have place their lairs on the steep canyons walls of the hot Savannah's it is very is for them to spot an intruder. These dragons love to spend hours lying on the rocks hidden high up on the rock sunning themselves. I also discovered that the Brass dragon will live in places that have a seasonal conditions like that of a temperate forest that sees very little or any rainfall in the summertime. These Desert lovers will also reside in sllch lands either to migrate to a warmer climate or to retreat to subterranean lairs during the cool and rainy months of the year. As far as the Brass dragons scales, at birth they have a dull, motted brown look at birth. As they get a bit older, their scales will become more brassy until they reach a warm, burnished look. As they get into the more hundred age years a more brassy and luster look. These dragons have a faint acrid odor reminiscent of hot oiled metal to them. There is also a prominent head crest that is in the shape of a plowshare that distinguishes the Brass dragons his cousin

Brass Dragon Enjoy the Morning Sun

dragons. They are quite large in size up to 30 feet in length. Very Intelligent too. The one thing that I found that is different about the Brass dragon to most of the dragon is their placid curiosity and the fact that these dragons are the most talkative of all the dragons I have written so far... It seems that they are slow to anger too; which is odd for a dragon is some ways. Even in battle the brass dragons are rarely cruel or even vengeful. In fact they frequently will allow beaten enemies to retreat instead of either killing or eating. However, these dragons are still dragon! so they are still conceited, proud, touchy creatures. Like other dragons, the Brass Dragons will take offense at rude or disrespectful behavior. But since these dragons love to TALK! if an other dragon might lash out in anger, the brass dragon would probably just break of the conversation and just leave. But you must remember he/she is a dragon so if one persisted well you know what I mean! And they never take sides that always say For Me! And maybe put their cone breathe sleeping gas on them. They also have a billowing cloud of gas that causes fear and of course Fire breathe too. Since the Brass dragon lives in a area which is mostly without or no water, they can survive with almost no water. They typically hunt with their wings over the high cliffs canyons of the deserts. These dragons are quite different I found when it came to their treasure; true they love precious gems but they are very fond of bone, stones too.Odd Eh! Finally I found that the Brass Dragons seemed to have many Friends~ with that of Sphinxes; Wizards; Elves and other dragons but the Brown dragons. I found the brass dragon to be an mostly friendly and kind dragon. I hope you all Enjoyed my Post on the Brass Dragon ..
I love you all my dear Readers, Friends and Followers have a great Sunday Wendy...[here is a link to my Yellow dragon post so you can see the differences if you would like to.wendyjargonncom.blogspot.com/search/label/YELLOW%20DRAGONS- ]

Tips From the Garden~ THE RED CARDINALS-

Tips From the Garden~

THE RED CARDINALS-

Red Cardinal

In this post for Tips From the Garden~ I have found a most beautiful bird that will brighten your

winter blues for the up coming fall/winter. They are the stunning Red Northern Cardinals Birds.

These amazing bright red birds seem to always take away those winter blues and make your winter a much more warmer and brighter one; Plus they will make your porch or backyards much more livelier.

If your are lucky enough to live in the areas of the Red Cardinals territory its really not difficult to lure these beauties to your Hollies Trees/Shrubs. Some of the best Hollies would be the Winterberry which show the deciduous bright red berries throughout the winter for these beautiful Cardinals and they will stay in yur yard for the entire winter feeding on these different juicy red berries for your bird watching delight. In some of my other Tips from the Garden you will find other kinds of Hollies that I have put in my blog for you too.

Red Cardinals with the Red berries
in the winter

There are a few tips from the National Wildlife that will also help you during the winter months in helping the wildlife birds that will come to your yards and porches too. I hope that this tips I give you will help your for you gardens for the up coming fall and winter. These tips that I am going to give you involve the three key elements of Food/water/and shelter for your Red Cardinals that will visit your Gardens this winter. When doing a bit of research on these beauty's you might be surprised on hope diverse they are on their eating habits. Basically these birds will eat more than a hundred different types of seeds and fruits including any

Feeders that you might put out for them too.

If you want to put Feeders I found out what kind of seed the Red Cardinals eat and how to make a

Feeder for these beauties too. First the seeds. These could be sunflower seeds; safflower seeds; cracked corn or even cut-up apples! How where and How to place these tasty treats for your new friends? I found out there are quite a few ways to place these treats for your Red Cardinals to find you tasty treats. One way is to put them on a sturdy platform or hopper feeder near your Hollie Trees and Shrubs. This way the Cardinals can find them very easily. And of course the Holly Trees & Shrubs like the Winterberry are great too for your Red Cardinals because they will bare fruit the entire winter. Another item that I didn't think of but I discover for you

all in my Garden tips is water in the winter. It seems that the Red Cardinals use water on a daily basis for drinking and get this! BATHING IN THE WINTER! So I had to think about this one for you all my dears,

How do you keep water for your bird friend without it Freezing! The only thing that I did find which

I very much doubt that most folks would be able or world consider doing is maintaining a heated

birdbath. I thought that was kinda funny myself. An heating pad under a bird bathe in the dead of winter while its snowing and about oh! here it can get about lows 10'degrees but, in the upper northern area's were talking -20' 30 and I just don't see too many folks using a heating pad, but there is always the exception.

Finally for your tips of the Garden on the Red Cardinals I discovered that the birds prefer thickets and the

evergreens for roosting in the winter. So if you have this type of tree or shrub in your area or if your

thinking of getting a new wintery type shrub/tree one of these just might be the one for this Year!

When you do, you'll want to place it nearby a feeder if you have made one. It will make your Red Cardinals feel much more safe and comfortable in there new home. Well I hope that you all will find a few helpful

tips for your gardens and yards even though the summer is coming to an end. I will still have Tips for the Garden Every Saturday for you.. It will be something different every saturday. What ever I might think of. I myself am thinking of getting a holly too. I will let you all know if I actually do.

Untill next time I hope I have given you some helpful tips and Happy Gardening

The link below is from my blog, it show all the Zones so that you can see what area's your

plants grow best. Love you all my dears, readers, friends and followers. I hope you have a great weekend
