Darren Naish: Tetrapod Zoology: The most freaky of all mammals: rabbits
Episode 1: The rabbit
The focus of the first part of the documentary series is that at first glance harmless rabbit. With its enormous flexibility and its distinct Fortpflanzungsfreudigkeit the rodent in many areas in the course of history was always a pest.
The most dangerous animals are not necessarily those of whom it suspected. Thus, a harmless looking animal - the rabbit - more damage than all the wolves and tigers. In a wide-ranging historical overview shows the first part of the documentary series, which rabbits from the Balearic Islands have done all over England to Australia. To ensure its survival, has the rodent on an infallible weapon, his Fortpflanzungsfreudigkeit. Presumably, the rabbit symbolized for this reason in the Middle Ages and the female genitals, while his cousin, the hare, stood for homosexuality. Evidence of the lively bustle of the rabbits are found on ancient amphorae and peripheral scenes of paintings as well as on the limbs of Venus and under the skirts of the Virgin Mary. It tells also of the "social decline" of the animal that was hunted by nobles and poaching by farmers. It tells also of the "social decline" of the animal, the nobility of hunting and poaching by farmers was. As a treat it landed on the tables of kings and served in the time of the industrial revolution as a proletarian-grown food.

Summary
Seidhr - a magic word in ancient times.
It is the magical and shamanic practices of the Germanic, or what many consider as real. But beyond all esoteric fantasies, the author Hans Stuck in this book is a realistic and modern image of Seidhr.
But he sits down in the first part with the historical traditions and scientific knowledge on the subject apart and can feed his over the years of practical experience in the development of a model for a new Seidhr culture.
An exciting way for him who has the courage to follow it.
