@[Heyuhmaybe:26430] I think it's neither Christian, Satanist or Buddhist, but Neopagan. The figure of the Piper living in the woods makes me think of Pan, the half-man, half-goat Greek deity of nature, fertility and spring (May is right in the midddle of spring season). This figure is heavily associated with Neopaganism and is always depicted playing a windpipe and is a symbol of man's connection with Mother Nature, which is essential for human understanding of oneself. Speaking of mothers, both the Lady and the May Queen seem to represent yet another key figure of Paganism: the Goddess. The divinity in every woman, a representation of the female sex as the one capable of creating life, which can be found in religions all across human history since the Venus of Willendorf workshipped by the first humanoids to modern religions such as Wicca. She's also associated with the Moon ("Who shines bright light and wants to show"). This figure is often divided in three, the Maiden (virgin and innocent), the Mother (powerful and nurturing) and the Crone (enlightened and wise), and the Lady in the song seems to go through all three stages in her path from naiveté to wisdom. |
