The blog symbol you’ll always see here is an apple!
Why the apple?
- In the best-known culture.
- The apple is considered a forbidden fruit.
- Which fascinated Adam and Eve so intensely that it managed to drive them out of paradise!(The idea of forbidden fruit is also used in Twilight.
- Also known as Twilight?Master).
In Greek mythology, apples play an important role, in addition to occupying the garden of the gods, they were the wedding gift of Zeus and Hera!
Another symbolism of the apple is that of Insula Pomorum, an Otherworldly realm full of abundance and pleasure, described by Geoffrey of Monmouth in the 12th century as a place where, instead of grass, the ground is covered with apples.
For the Germanic peoples, the apple means immortality, represented by the goddess Idun (the regenerator). She kept an apple in a bowl and when the gods grew old, they bit into the apple and found youth.
In Celtic mythology, this fruit symbolizes magic, immortality and knowledge. For medieval people, the meaning of the apple as an island of the blessed was comforting, allowing people to access a paradise world!
In addition to the religious and mythological theme, I cannot fail to mention another important appearance of the fruit: the nickname of New York (the paradise of fashionistas and shopaholics) is Big Apple (big apple)!
There are some versions of why the metropolis is called the Big Apple, the most accepted is the one found in the Museum of the City of New York which says that in the 1920s a sports reporter overheard the employees of a stable of New Orleans than New York Racetracks were “big apples”. The phrase Big Apple was (and continues to be) used by various writers, singers, and personalities.
Faced with these stories (and it seems that I did not even mention Snow White), mythologies and quotes, we conclude that the apple is the one that awakens fascination, that it is always on the agenda, as well as everything that revolves around this fantastic world that I pretend portray here . . . democratically, unpretentious, but with a lot of dedication (always)
(PD: REST FOR WOMEN IS ALSO CULTURE!)
Do I have to say anything else? Apple is the forbidden fruit that is mandatory here!!
