pussy game so strong it scared the devil

no but literally that is what is happening, there have been long periods of western history where spirits were said t be frightened by the site of lady business. Sailor’s wives used to flash their husbands ships (mind you this was a time before underwear so you just lifted your petticoats and BAM) in order to scare away the spirits and devils that made storms. A woman could flash her crops to keep away spirits that might ruin them.This was also back when the vagoo was seen as something taboo and horrible so literally looking directly at some labia was thought to be so scary the devil would poop himself. Misogyny so intense it gave the pussy superpowers. 

PUSSY OUT TO SCARE THE DEVIL AWAY

Yup!! It’s called ‘anasyrma’

*cackling*

This is actually part of Finnish folklore, too. Vagina was the strongest thing on the planet, enough so that you could curse someone why flashing your hoo-hoo at them. Even the bear, which was the strongest spiritual being, feared by everyone - so much that saying bear’s name out loud would summon a bear and thus no one still knows what’s a bear in Finnish - ran away in a sigh of lady’s privates.

wait i want to know more about there maybe not being a word for bears in finnish???

More like “the original word for bear has been lost because if you say it you might Speak One up.”

This was a general central/northeastern Europe thing. The original Indo-European root for bear seems to be *h2rktos, which gives us ursus in Latin, arktos in Greek, and arth in Welsh. (Plus the name Arthur.)

So you would expect, knowing a thing about the neogrammarian principle, that the Proto-Germanic word ought to be *urhtaz, the Proto-Balto-Slavic word *irktas. But what we actually see is that in Germanic languages, the word for bear derives from the same word as brown; in Baltic languages, a word related to “hairy, shaggy”; and in Slavic, some variation on medu-ed, “honey-eater.”

Meanwhile, the Proto-Finnic word for bear, karhu, is either the PIE *h2rktos borrowed, or a Proto-Uralic word meaning “rough, coarse.” The same is true of other non-PIE languages in the region, like Estonian, Karelian, etc.

In other words, these people were so fucking scared of bears that they didn’t even dare say the word bear. They used euphemisms – “the brown one, the honey-eater, the shaggy boy” – until those euphemisms just because the word for bear, and the original word was lost. (Interestingly, the Sanskirt reflex of *h2rktos is rakshas, so that word itself might’ve been a euphemism – “the Destroyer” – replacing an even older word for bears.)

Bears were fucking scary if you lived in northern Europe, guys.

And vaginas were even scarier.

@spiritspodcast

So basically yer saying the devil is gay.

I’m honestly more surprised that we somehow navigated from “vaginas scare away the devil” to “The original word for Bear has been lost to the ages.” Like, that’s a leap I never saw coming, but here we are.
