{"product_id":"wolves-in-folklore-religion-and-arden-heacox-9781519197498","title":"Wolves in Folklore, Religion and Mythology","description":"The wolf is a common motif in the foundational mythologies and cosmologies of peoples throughout Eurasia and North America (corresponding to the historical extent of the habitat of the gray wolf). The obvious attribute of the wolf is its nature of a predator, and correspondingly it is strongly associated with danger and destruction, making it the symbol of the warrior on one hand, and that of the devil on the other. The modern trope of the Big Bad Wolf is a development of this. The wolf holds great importance in the cultures and religions of the nomadic peoples, both of the Eurasian steppe and of the North American Plains. In many cultures, the identification of the warrior with the wolf (totemism) gave rise to the notion of Lycanthropy, the mythical or ritual identification of man and wolf.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arden Heacox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1519197497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781519197498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.28d","brand":"Arden Heacox","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992185995519,"sku":"9781519197498","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d749fa0-62eb-4339-843b-2d5287197dce.jpg?v=1683314525","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wolves-in-folklore-religion-and-arden-heacox-9781519197498","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
