No references found | Remarkably, painted depictions displaying the distinctive therianthropic element date back some 26 000 years (see Wendt 1976: 6), suggesting some degree of continuity in the cosmology and ideology of southern African San foragers (Lewis-Williams & Pearce 2004: 45). The Devil himself is conceived as a therianthropic, female personification which is reminiscent of Satan's description of the form he will assume in the Chester Drapers' Play,(43) or the lamia imagery that Langland employs: For in my paleis, Paradis, in persone of an addre, Falsliche thow fettest there thyng that I lovede. The belief in therianthropic beings, attested in the whole world in all periods, no doubt forms part of the universals of the human mind. |
