Mesnil, Marianne et Assia Popova - « Be Beastly and shut up, or the repudiation of the Shrew. The weaving weasel. ». Etiological European narratives lend the weasel of human ancestry: a rebellious young woman falls victim to a curse that transforms her into an animal. In the Balkans, the human ancestor of the weasel is a young wife who is a bad weaver. Narratives and rituals surround an object, the distaff, pivot of the textile-textual metaphor by which the symbols of marriage and weaving intert-wine. The character of the weasel is opposed to Sainte-Vendredi, patron of marriage and weaving. In Western Europe (see the Bestiaries), the weasel's human ancestoris a young, mendacious woman. Turned into an animal, she is doomed to conceive through the mouth and give birth through the ear. The Western counterpart of Sainte- Vendredi-anti- Weasel is the Virgin Mary, mother of the divine Word
