Summary/Abstract: My investigation follows the exposition of the results which the Hedgehog, a mythological being, involves itself in the creation deed, starting from its origin and its relationship with the creative being. I stressed the manner which the myth imagines the process of the manipulation, as well as the results which devolve out of that, in the cultured imagination and the fairy tale, too. At last, I took into account the affirmation of a primary sexuality, whose the messenger, between Father-Creator and Mother-the Earth, is the Hedgehog, the feminized young god.
