Hagar
And for some reason I find myself blogging about the word haggard on
this day. And who or what is a haggard, as I think that it has something
to do with the worn out older lady or something like that. Or to look
worn out, maybe. And what's up with that term hagar the horrible, who's
that? Does Wikipedia, that internet bible dictionary have an entry for
that one. And the origin of this word being related to that lady Hagar
in that book the bible whose story was something about an egyptian slave
girl who was thrown by the wayside on the road by her husband after she
was all used up or something like that. And her name also seems to have
something to do with children and descendants of children. And so that
is a mystical interesting word to me. And now what about Hagar the
horrible, who or what is that all about again? Well according to
Wikipedia again, that has something to do with some caveman in a comic
strip. And then there's hag, and I've heard that term used before
amongst humanity also, as in old hag, the witch. And are these greek
mythological words with lots of hidden mystical meanings. Are there some
sort of philosophies to go along with these and the origins of these
words. Folktales, folklore and fairytales, creatures, gods and
goddesses. Have a great blogging day.
