What is the series BTW if you don't mind me asking?
@arthurpendragon
Had one of those classes in highschool- things like "going down six stone steps" alluded to death & the depth of a grave.
Grimes fairy tales & works of Hans Christian Anderson might be helpful.
Minot North Dakota has a Scandinavian center which might have resources.
Not sure if the link posted to you. Several articles are out, just Google peanuts the squirrel. Apparently he bit one of the investigators.
At this time, there is only one way to determine if an animal has rabies if they havent' had the vaccine & that's to do a necropsy of the animals brain.

Happy Birthday!
Some libraries are set up that you can borrow the books on line using a free downloaded Kindle on your cell, tablet or laptop. You just need a library card.
Amazon also has E-books.
Another option is visit your local university and see if the history text books may have what you need.
Do you know what culture you want to study?

It gets better.
It's OK not to want to people today.
Or even adult.
Sometimes it's nessasary to build a blanket fort & sip hot cocoa watching the fall leaves come down.
Food shopping requires just nodding when the cashier says thank you.
Everything else can be ordered on line.
For introverts,
No words are needed. Just knowing someone else cares is ok.
It's going to be ok friend.
The issue you might be facing is much of what you are seeking has been passed down in oral history & may be closely guarded, or lost from those who had the knowledge being persecuted.
The oak was a symbol for the Norse, celtic,Hebrew & druids.
Crows are found in Chinese, Scandinavian and native American lore.
Mists lore are often greek in origin.
Peanut the squirrel was euthanized to test for rabies & the internet goes nuts.

Kids today have no idea what a really full sized candy bar is.
We avoided housing plans because even though there were 30 houses on one street, they would give out a single stick of gum from the pack. It was just more walking for a handful of candy.
A few times we convinced our parents to go trick or treating in another's area's night ( they split them to handle the crowds.
Ours were still the best .
@ordenauta
Our neighbor always gave us massive red delicious apples for trick or treating.
We'd give them to our mom who made apple pie with them.
Our new shoes box became our candy bar box and it would last until Thanksgiving.
9 houses. That's all we had. 3/4 the of a pillow case when we were done.
Good times.
Trick or treating when I was young meant 9 houses to go to, a pillow case and what ever we found to dress up as. Coffee grounds made us hobos with Da's old coat.
9 houses = 3/4 of the pillow case filled with full sized candy bars, homemade gingerbread men, red delicious apples and occasionally an oj box from McDonald's. There were maybe 20 kids total who came to the door.
We always were safe, and known to all the neighbors.
Just saw a guy in a work truck driving around the neighborhood with his toddler sitting on his lap.
The kid waved, I returned the wave. The dad laughed.
This is bad in so many ways.
Car seat
Facing rear until they are ht & wt.
Front faced car seat until they are ht & wt.
Booster seat until they are 4 foot 9.
Every time
No exceptions.
Sure.
It may seem ok one time.
Next time the kid won't want to get in the car seat.
What then?
Car seats are less expensive than a kids funeral.

My information is from bee keepers who manage them for their farms - both locally, & the states where I've lived.
Bees depend on biodiversity for their survival - including wild flowers & weeds.
Gmo plants which contain weed resistant tendency offer only a brief window of food source for honeybees while they pollinate the crops.
Gmo plants are designed for larger fruit size to be produced (quality) but not always quantity.
Equals starvation of the hive.
@Senua
I'm streaming reruns of Gilligan's island.
Does that help?
If I need to feed the inner angst then it's family affair with Brian Keith.
Life is too short to fret about things you can't change.
This is a reminder to concern yourself with important things that really matter.
This is a honey bee on an early dandelion. The yellow on her knees is pollen and she's collecting necter from the dandelion.
How is this important?
It's early spring.
The dandelion wasn't from a treated lawn or a gmo plant.
The bee didn't have to worry about bug spray.
The bee and her sisters survived through the winter.
Gmo plants reduce bees lifespan by 2 days & the food for the hives.
Be kind.

I read stuff but it doesn't always stick until I do it a billion times.

I'm so into cheesecake!

My siblings and I tell the great nieces & nephews that we were raised before tv was around. Our toys were rocks and sticks and we were happy to have them.
Of course- they didn't believe us until my niece& nephew recounted collecting different clay stones, wild berries & flowers teaching them how to create "cave paintings" on the front driveway pad.
Oh was mum upset...
The stain lasted for months...
@stueytheround
Nite!
My plot bunnies are trying to do the same as well.
Maybe after we find where we left the chocolate...
