The chupacabra is a Latin American legend. It's name means "goat sucker," because it's supposed to be a creature that attacks goats and other farm animals in the middle of the night and sucks their blood. From the descriptions I've heard, it sounds something like a cross between a bat, a reptile and a monkey, but I'm sure that varies.

"I Am Who I Am" sounds more like Popeye to me....\n\nBut, I think that in the Bible you can find references to both Yaweh, and Jehova. I have also seen a passage that says "God... whose name is Jealous".

You have put this question under mythology and folklore, so I'll answer it in the same vein, rather than going on about the more probable causes such as the birds had been fed by humans or that magpies like shiny objects (you are not a shiny object, are you?)\n\nIn old Norse folklore unexplained or "weird" behaviour of animals were sometimes visitations by spirits.  In the Icelandic sagas are stories of human ghosts taking on animal form (ie the ghost of Killer Hrap taking the form of a seal with human eyes in Laxadalen Saga),  or of "fetches": manifestations of guardian spirits, often in animal form (a goat in Njal's saga).\n\nThe chances are you are reading too much into things and the birds are just being curious.

Dunno, my name is from the latin word meaning dark / darkness. I think my mom just hated me. Although I suppose it has come to define me as a person, I am a rather dark individual. Many have told me that my sarcasm, dry humour, scathing wit and quick comebacks are all integral parts of my pesonality and that my name is well suited to my personality. To each his / her own I suppose.

This Legend although mentioned in specific detail through many books of the old and new testaments of the King James version of the Bible, predates it, back to the dawn of time in all major philosophies and cultures of the world. \n\nThe Legend states the 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son' is the unborn one in the poetic sense, 'He' being preordained by his birthright too be a 'Maker of Things' endowed with gifts of 'second sight' 'predicting the future' 'healer' 'lucky' and a 'devil may care attitude' being referred to as the 'Divine One' or the 'Chosen One' who has a 'special purpose in life' for the 'Lord of Hosts' who is also cursed by the good & evil forces battling for his eternal soul.

This is the legend I found about white heather.\n\nLong, long ago in Scotland, the famous Celtic bard, Ossian, had a daughter called Malvina. She was beautiful and sweet natured. She won the heart of Oscar, a handsome warrior.\n\nThey became betrothed, but Oscar left in search of fame and fortune.\n\nMalvina pined for him and sought solace by telling her father how much she loved her brave warrior, Oscar. \n\nOn a beautiful autumn day, the two were sitting on a Highland hillside when a ragged messenger staggered towards them.\n\nHe brought the terrible news that Oscar had been killed in a mighty battle. The messenger held out a spray of purple heather to Malvina - a last gift from Oscar - and told her that he had died whispering her name and pledging his love.\n\nIn her grief, Malvina ran over the hillside, weeping bitterly. Where her tears fell, the purple heather turned pure white. When she saw this, she said "May this white heather forever bring good fortune to all those who find it".\n\nAnd so, in Scotland, to this very day, white heather continues to be a token of good luck.

My great-aunt once wrote an entire book about Greek mythology in a sort of story-telling form. It was a very informative book, and it helped me stay aware of Greek and Roman references more often. People (including me) often speak of the weather as being "hotter than Hades" as a more polite way of saying "hotter than hell." Hades was the Greek god of the underworld, which would be compared to a Christian concept of hell. Companies still use these references even today in shoes (like Nike), sporting equipment, technological equipment, flowers (think FTD Florist using Hermes as their symbol), and cleaning supplies (think Ajax). As an English major, I wrote at least two poems with mythological references. I love the musical "My Fair Lady" which is related to "Pygmalion" and the old myth of the man who created his ideal woman. If you watch Disney's "Monsters Inc." there is one part where the little one-eyed monster Mike is contemplating how to smuggle the little girl Boo back into the company, and he uses a Greek reference to the Trojan horse, but dismisses it as "Too Greek!" Children would probably not understand what he said, but those of us who have studied mythology would. I do not use mythology as a replacement for religion, but it helps to understand historical references and symbolism around us.

Couldn't find Emeleth proper, so I broke it down.  Emeleth appears to be related to Elizabeth or Emily - Emeline, the feminine form of Emil.\n\nElizabeth  means "my God is an oath" or "my God is abundance".\n\nEmil = rival = Emeline

STAR LEGEND\nThe group of stars known to us as the Pleiades gave food for much thought to the aborigines. There are several legends surrounding these heavenly bodies. One is that the Kamilaroys of the North Coast were at enmity with those of the mountains, and a messenger had been sent from group to group with the message-stick calling a council to discuss measures for the protection of the camps. But the messenger had become enamoured of a young woman of one of the groups he had visited, and his affection was returned. However, she proved to be of the same totem, and a marriage was forbidden. Both the young people were very sad, and the man pleaded with the head-man, but all for nothing. He was advised to return to his own people.\n\nThen, like so many other disappointed lovers, he grew resentful, and at last determined to be revenged, and even then, if possible, to secure the lady of his choice.\n\nSo he went away to the enemies of the group, and conspired with them to show them the "pukkan" by which they might steal unseen to the camps of the coast lands. This track belonged to the priest, and led to a sacred spot where the Great Spirit could be communed with by the priest.\n\nNow, the first thing was to drive the people together, or by some subtle means persuade them to congregate on the one place. This was not an easy thing to do. The people were widely separated during the day, for some were in the bush engaged in hunting there or in obtaining those things from it that were needed to fashion all the implements incidental to camp life, others were still in the camp; many were down on the beach either playing there or searching for food, and the whereabouts of still more were always uncertain, for they were roamers.\n\nMany consultations were held; many plans were formulated; many tricks were explained; but at last it was decided that the messenger return to that group and pretend to have given up all thought of marrying the coveted girl.\n\nWhen he was back he sought the confidence of the headman and soon was received without suspicion. Then one day, having prepared and found a chance, he set fire to the bush. He had laid good plans for he knew just where to find the girl. He had seen to it that she was persuaded to go out of the way to get something that she wanted. It was to the pukkan that led to the sacred place. When the fire raged towards them they ran right on to the holy of holies. The only other people who saw them were women who were led by the guardians of young girls. These guardians were watching the girl wanted by the messenger. Now they were all frightened and they all rushed to the clearing. This invasion by women into such a place was against all commandments, and evil was bound to follow.\n\nHeaps of clay left by the priest were seen, and all commenced to smear themselves with it without knowing how to do it properly. They thought it would surely preserve them.\n\nThey were changed into witchetty grubs. They found holes in a moist and rotten log into which, as is the habit of witchetty grubs, they crept. They were shrunken into very small beings compared with the beings they once were.\n\nThe fire came on and on. People ran in all directions and many were destroyed.\n\nThen by the treachery of the messenger the men of the hills came down and they fell upon the rest and the beach group were nearly all killed. Only the denseness of the smoke prevented more of the mountain people from coming down, and those that did come were glad to hasten away to escape it.\n\nOf those that were not killed there was a priest who went to the sacred spot as soon as he could. He sat on the moist and rotten log and mourned for a long time. Then growing hungry he searched for witchetty grubs, for he knew that the log was a favourite place for them. He found first the woman who was the first one to change. He knew that group to be different from those he had seen before and he suspected witchery. He uttered an incanta
