What is a fable – Continuation
The purpose why fables were spoken into people’s lives:
The legends and the heroes that played the main role in these fables, were images, of people, animals or beings,
that trusted in the spiritual powers of their gods, demons, spirits, and the spiritual strategies of warfare, which governed the laws of war in their cultures,
for each obstacle, and adversaries that a person was facing in life, fables of spiritual victory, motivation, strategies, and advice
were related into people’s lives through the oral tradition of storytelling.
For example: every different sphere of life, had a different god or spirits,
which governed it’s wellbeing, success, fortune and good luck, and if a person was facing a problem of barrens, sickness, famine, or poverty.
then a fable or fables that contains spiritual advice (spirits, gods, demons, spiritual events of victory, and encouragements) were spoken into the ears of that person.
And in the end of the story, this person was advised to either go buy himself a god of good luck, or he or she was told to go appease (sacrifice, give honour to, or pay tribute)
to the spirits or gods of his culture, so that he or she may be able to break the curse or bad luck that is hunting his life.
There are two types of fables, biblical fables and gentile fables:
The gentile Fables went against the declaration of God’s faith of God, which says that: “there is only one God”, and through these gentile fables, people trusted in many spirits, many gods, and demonic manifestations of magic.
