Cultural Heritage Below the Water Line – OIC Moments

The cultural iceberg – worthwhile reading, with examples from Western society versus Native Americans. Either as reference, or for consideration when world building and designing a new culture.

This seems like a good thing to think about, particularly at the moment, but also: EVERY. TIME.

This is a fantastic visual depiction of everything to think about when writing about another culture or from the perspective of someone with a different background.

In the form of a woman she is tall, and robed in green; but at times she takes other shapes. Some there are who have seen her standing like a tree under heaven, crowned with the Sun; and from all its branches there spilled a golden dew upon the barren earth, and it grew green with corn; but the roots of the tree were in the waters of Ulmo, and the winds of Manwë spoke in its leaves.
