One Mayan legend claims that the quetzal used to sing beautifully before the Spanish conquest, but has been silent ever since; it will sing once again only when the land is truly free.
The Resplendent Quetzal was considered divine, associated with the "snake god", Quetzalcoatl by Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican civilizations. Its iridescent green tail feathers, symbols for spring plant growth, were venerated by the ancient Aztecs and Maya, who viewed the quetzal as the "god of the air" and as a symbol of goodness and light.
pen (1) "writing implement," c.1300, from O.Fr. penne "quill pen, feather," from L. penna "feather," from PIE *petna-, suffixed form of root *pet- "to rush, fly" (see petition). From the same root comes suffixed form *petra-, source of Skt. patram "wing, feather," Gk. pteron "wing," O.C.S. pero "pen," O.N. fjöđr, O.E. feđer (see feather).
In later French, this word means only "long feather of a bird," while the equivalent of English plume is used for "writing implement," the senses of the two words thus reversed from what they are in English.
Origin: 1400–50; late Middle English < Latin resplendent- (stem of resplendēns ), present participle of resplendēre to shine brightly, equivalent to re- re- + splend ( ēre ) shine ( see splendor) + -ent- -ent
The word "quetzal" came from Nahuatl (Aztec), where quetzalli (from the root quetz = "stand") meant "tall upstanding plume" and then "quetzal tail feather"; from that Nahuatl quetzaltotōtl means "quetzal-feather bird" and thus "quetzal
Middle English pees, from Anglo-French pes, pees, from Latin pac-, pax; akin to Latin pacisci to agree — more at pact First Known Use: 12th century
please Origin: 1275–1325; (v.) Middle English plesen, plaisen < Middle French plaisir ≪ Latin placēre to please, seem good ( see placid); the use of please with requests, etc., is presumably a reduction of the clause ( it ) please you may it please you, later reinforced by imperative use of intransitive please to be pleased, wish

Jason and the Argonauts were commissioned by King Pelias to find the Golden Fleece which was guarded by a fierce dragon. This fable is the Greek analogue to the Celtic quest for the Holy Grail; both are allegories about the gnostic pursuit of immortality. Manly P. Hall wrote in The Secret Teachings of All Ages that the Golden Fleece contained the alchemical formulae for the divinity of man: "The Golden Fleece sought by Jason and his Argonauts is the Celestial Lamb — the spiritual and intellectual Sun. The secret doctrine is also typified by the Golden Fleece — the wool of the Divine Life, the rays of the Sun of Truth. Suidas declares the Golden Fleece to have been in reality a book, written upon skin, which contained the formulae for the production of gold by means of chemistry. The Mysteries were institutions erected for the transmutation of base ignorance into precious illumination. The dragon of ignorance was the terrible creature set to guard the Golden Fleece, and represents the darkness of the old year, which battles with the Sun at the time of its equinoctial passage"
The Farmers' Almanac confirms the cultural significance of today's full moon, which is also known as the 'Strawberry Moon' according to Algonquian tribal lore. The moon is thusly named because this is the week when wild strawberries in the Algonquin regions of North America bear fruit, which I can well attest to, since they grow all around my house. They are amazing. They put the bloated hybrid grocery store monsters to shame.
The seven scrolls referred in the Book of Revelation, New Testament, is indicative of a 'title deed to earth' that in time Jesus will snatch back from the Devil. The symbolism connected to the seven seals is completeness, while that of 'Lion of the Tribe of Judah' and 'Lamb of God' relates to Christ. The Bible reveals Jesus' bloodline dating back to Jacob, of the House of David. Judah was Jacob's fourth son and the father of the 12 tribes of Israel. Since the first son Reuben committed incest and the second and third sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi had murdered the Shechemites, the inheritance and birthright fell into Judah's lap.
King David, an ancestor of Jesus, was also from Judah's lineage and hence, Jesus is referred to as the 'Root of David' (1Kings 2:45). The first ever prophecy of the coming of Jesus, the Lion of Judah, and his never-ending Kingdom appears in Genesis 49:8-12. The reference was made by Jacob on his deathbed. All through the Bible, Judah stands as the symbol of praise, lion's whelp and a full-grown lion.
To quote Mark Twain, "The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated"
