Pagan Origins of Mother Goose

I find it sad that many versions of mother goose's rhymes and stories have been edited to try and remove the pagan connotations. In fact, these stories were more for adults than they were for children. They share important advice about herb lore, festival practices, morals and advice for good living, and any number of other things. I have been rediscovering my love for these rhymes and fairy tales by delving into their hidden meanings. Usually when I find their meanings I find a lot of great advice, or ancient practices that are not recorded in todays histories of those times. It is great that these stories have survived to this day, just a pity that an accurate version must be sought... what do others think of this? If you want to read about some of my findings navigate your way to folk tales through the link I provide.
