Not the wind ... it is something you can hold in your hand but cannot pick up.
HINT:
1) The rabbit clue is from a very well known work of literature of the 1800s.
2) The "divine entity" clue is a reference to someone in ancient mythology.

The rabbit is associated with the moon in native Mexican cultures, but I don't think that's it...
Nope .... THIS rabbit is a character in a light-hearted fantasy novel of the 19th century and his name is a clue to the riddle's answer. The other character of ancient lore is a god whose name is the answer to the riddle.María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda wrote: ↑13 Mar 2024, 19:20The rabbit is associated with the moon in native Mexican cultures, but I don't think that's it...
You are correct with the book, but what was the rabbit's name? The name and what this name derives from is a big clue to the answer to the riddle.María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda wrote: ↑14 Mar 2024, 08:19 Time? I'm thinking about Alice in Wonderland's rabbit, who was always running late...
I know him as White Rabbit, too...Sadiya_Khan wrote: ↑14 Mar 2024, 12:22 Didn't he usually goes with the nickname, White rabbit? I think his name was something like Nivels or Nivens.
@Sadiya_Khan It's not the white rabbit you are thinking of.María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda wrote: ↑14 Mar 2024, 18:47I know him as White Rabbit, too...Sadiya_Khan wrote: ↑14 Mar 2024, 12:22 Didn't he usually goes with the nickname, White rabbit?

So, perhaps we are looking for something white, DATo ?
The answer is not fortune.Sadiya_Khan wrote: ↑16 Mar 2024, 04:00 So, are we not talking about a rabbit? I'm confused now.
Just a wild guess, is the answer fortune?
EXACTLY !!!!!María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda wrote: ↑16 Mar 2024, 11:42 Ok... I'm going to go with mercury. Everyone who has broken a thermometer knows you shouldn't play with it...tempting as it is. It's associated with mythology, and it's related to Alice's Mad Hatter. I don't know about the rabbit, though...
The Mad Hatter and the rabbit are one and the same? Ooooh! That was a great riddle!DATo wrote: ↑16 Mar 2024, 15:28EXACTLY !!!!!María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda wrote: ↑16 Mar 2024, 11:42 Ok...

The rabbit was the character known as "The Mad Hatter" in Alice In Wonderland. The term "Mad Hatter" comes from the belief that the use of mercury in the hat making profession caused workers to later develop mental issues or "madness". The god was the Roman god Mercury, and you will be frustrated if you try to pick up the liquid metal mercury because you can't grip it though you can hold a puddle of it in the palm of your hand. If you've ever dropped mercury you would know that it can skitter very quickly in all directions. And you are correct to mention its inherent danger as a toxin.
YOU WIN and it is now YOUR TURN !
