I knew of this spirit story, thanks for adding some context. I remember studying folk archetypes as a sort of tangental interest in my undergrad major and during my dissertation work. Many are (as I understand it now) patriarchal cautionary tales, if you will. I always value your contributions to my day. Thanks T and P (whom I hope to meet sometime!)
How interesting to hear that, thank you for sharing. And yes, since stories are powerful, it's not a surprise that those in power have been wielding it in ways that serve them best.
