Sacred Poetry

Blog Page Entry #1

  • Add a picture of an ancient religious as a blog page
  • Write your own sacred poem to your chosen religious symbol.
Length: At least 3 stanzas of 4 lines each.
Be sure to include references that would be made by prehistoric humans 
¨Belief in spiritual realm
¨Close ties to geography
¨Prescientific worldview
¨Concern with survival
¨Propitiation: incantations, shamans,
¨Concern about death
¨Moral systems: things become taboo
¨Theology
¨Scripture
¨Prophecy
¨Sacrifice
¨Designated place of worship

Your research should help you understand why that symbol was created, but it does not have to be reported on, in your blog.

• 
Due  Friday, Sept. 7th (by end of class)
