The Fang legend |
| Philosophy > Primordial tradition | |||
| By : Jean-Louis Brun - Friday, 30 July 2010 00:00 | |||
 Following his study of myths and legends throughout more than forty four centuries and which narrative structure (and initiatory) can, according to the author, be interpreted from the construction of the eight hexagrams of the I Ching: Today Jean-Louis Brun takes us to the discovery of an African myth, the Fang legend. In the region of Gabon, Ombure, a crocodile God, reigns over waters and forests. Everyday, the next tribe has to bring him a man as an offering, to fill in its voracity. Until Ombure becomes Ngurangurane's father, half man half crocodile... For more information about deciphering the I Ching and about the Sumerian genesis, we invite you to look at the site of Jean-Louis Brun: www.legendes-et-mythes.fr The eight symbols that we find successively as the story goes are: 1 "an emptying cup": the end of a dualist perception of the world. 2 "the light at the top, the fire at the bottom": mastering one's desires. 3 "the wind on the lake": the search of the inner master. 4 "the mountain under the sky" involves a change of skin. 5 "the mountain on the thunder", suggests the union of male and female principles, or a reversal of the situation that precedes a birth. 6 "the wind under the Earth": end of illusions, exit from darkness towards light. 7 "the fire in the sky": the radiance. 8 "water on the earth": perfect union of the waters.
