yarn and Twine in the painting of Jonathan Polkest

The Cretan Princess ARIADNE (most pure) or "high fruitful mother of the barley", fell for Theseus.In exchange for his promise of marriage she agrees to help him accomplish heroic deeds; to penetrate the Labyrinth and kill its denizen, thus eliminating the obligation for the pride of Athenian youth to serve supposedly as the Minotaurs meal.However both Ariadne and her mother Pasiphae were two aspects of the grain goddess for whome we suspect the sacrifice really always had been intended. Similarly on MAEKULA , the sacrifice of a black boar with crescent or full moon tusks will have been made to the Vegetable Goddess of Yams and Taro.
