New political system: a multipolar self-balancing model of government of 5 independent political parties with the movable centre joint decisions would put an end to ideological enmity and consolidate society. http://www.modelgovernment.org/en/
Zeus, the principle deity of heavenly Olympus and of classical Greece, appears to be a primordial entity that has been worshipped in the Balkan Peninsula from at least the third millennium BCE. His name derives from dyeu, a Proto-Indo-European word which means “to shine” and connects the god to the sky, thunder and the heavenly realm in general.
Hestia was the Olympia goddess of the hearth, domesticity and family, the latter being an entirely sacred denomination for the Greeks. Together with Artemis and Athena, she formed an exclusive association of virgin goddesses worshipped as the triune aspect of the Great Mother Goddess.
Dec 15th marked a tragic day in American History. The bill of rights in the United States has been through the shredder. Most American's have never read the constitution or bill of rights and therefor do not even know what has been lost. History classes in public schools teach very little about these documents or the reasons for their existence.
In classical mythology, the goddess Demeter is painted into the cosmological domain as a fundamental aspect of Mother Nature. She was extremely popular with the simpletons and the rustic population of the Hellenic lands, presiding over the fecundity of the earth, agriculture and the cycle of seasons.
Contrary to what the occult dilettante or historical romanticist may think, the esoteric undercurrent known as Hermeticism has never been a distinctive philosophical edifice in its own right, nor has it competed for cultural prominence against the major monotheistic religions–Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.
Much is left to be done, much remains on our plates to be addressed, pushed for, believed in, stood up to... but knowing that so much is possible in so little time, so few rotations of one small planet among the stars, fuels my internal fire to never stop believing in the change we know is possible...
In classical myth the god Hermes acts as the messenger of the Olympians, the living, tangible connection between the heavens and the earth, as well as a psychopomp. His epithets Diaktoros and Psychopompos definitely allude to the two just mentioned qualities.
Hera is the Olympian goddess of women and feminine sovereignty, as well as the sanctity of marriage. Her epithets Akraia (She of the Heights), Basileia (Queen) and Teleia (goddess of marriage) definitely attest to such. Together with Zeus, Poseidon, Hestia and Pluton (Hades), she comprised one of the many children of Cronus, or Father Time, and Rhea, the Earth Mother.
Poseidon is one of the mightiest Olympian gods, second in prominence only to Zeus. Together with a host of other gods and goddesses that included the latter, Hades, Hestia and Hera, Poseidon is the spawn of the Titans Cronus, or Father Time and Rhea, the Earth Mother.
At the lowermost point of the ethereal cosmological ladder lies the passive, feminine pole. Anyone can penetrate the veil of corporeal appearances and see as well as understand the cosmological truths directly beneath by studying two intimately connected features–a primary source of light and its reflecting or refracting surface.
Ares is the Olympian god of war, slaughter and bloodshed. He is the progeny of king and queen of all gods and mortals, the mighty Zeus and the jealous Hera, respectively. It appears that both abhorred him, predominantly because of the debased, inhumane and rudimentarily based characteristics and qualities of human nature he came to epitomize.
First and foremost, I would like to commend all those who attempted one of two essay questions prescribed by the “It’s all Greek to me” writing competition, a contest which commenced at the end of July and finally concluded on the 23rd October.
I would like to thank everybody who took part in the “It’s all Greek to me” writing competition, a component of the “It’s all Greek to me” educational blog tour which ran between June and October of this year. Entrants were required to answer one of two essay questions whilst keeping to a word limit of 750-1150 words.
When I rode the subway up to Times Square last Saturday to answer the call to “occupy” it, I found myself out on the streets doing something I hadn’t done in decades.
The old joke for people like me back in the 70s was, Don’t worry, the 60’s will come around again — in about 100 years.
Now, it turns out, it’s only taken about half that time.
G’day and welcome to my blog! Today I’ll be discussing the demythologisation of the goddess and how the patriarchal fathers and theologians modified mythological discourse in order to subdue women and keep them “in their place”.
