weathervanes. In Babalonian mythology, a great cockatrice rooster/dragon gives birth to the world and the very first artistic representation of a Dragon. Later, in many Norse mythologies and English Royal banners, the dragon went on to become an important figure in weathervanes, and still is today.The Enchantment of a WindThe wind is an enchanting aspect of our earth and our lives upon it. The wind enchanted the poets [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], artists and even scientists such as Andronicus in the days of Antiquity, and continued to enthrall and inspire artists throughout Rome [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Europe, Scandinavia and across the Atlantic ocean to the Americas. Sailors’ lives have revolved around the behavior of the winds for so long. And it has always been the sailor who has taken reverence of the wind from one country to another. The great Horologion of Athens may have been built to tell the time either at night or day [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but as a temple, it was dedicated to the gods of the wind. And that enchantment of the wind sailed across the waters of trade routes the world over with the Anglo-Saxon metal workers who saw in the weathervane a metal “fane”, a metal flag. This is the English origin of the word weathervane, a “weather flag.”Human Imagination in a WeathervaneStories
