Protector of uncultivated woods and wild places, the Roman god Silvanus loves things that grow at their own pace, whether field or forest. He protects against overbearing humans but also against wolves that might steal cattle, making him popular.

Indeed. Fish appears often in context of healing or sacred teachings. Jonah is saved by being in a fish (in some a whale). In Hinduism, Vishnu takes avatar of fish (Matsya) & during the great flood, helped the seven sages. Matsyendra, the first Hatha yogin was also inside a fish. https://t.co/qPbr05oSNA

Matsyapur was born in water,
swallowed by a fish,
saved from a flood,
to die in a flood,
it floats ever on the brink of dissolution.

From a new game called :
The indifferent wonder of edible places.

The Great Flood may not be a myth. The flood appears in ancient Sumerian, in the Hindu Matsya Purana, in the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh, in the Bible & with ancient Greeks w/ Zeus' flooding of the world in Ovid's Metamorphoses. Scientists have found evidence in the Black Sea.
