The Species that Almost Got it Right

It is a crazy and backward idea that the universe was created out of nothing and most mathematicians, cosmologists, astronomers, and physicists believe that. Cosmology has become cosmogony, the dubious study of the “origin” of the universe. Continue reading

Published August 13, 2011
In Greek mythology, Saturn was called Cronus and was king of the cosmos for “untold ages”, his father was Uranus and his mother was Gaia (earth). Cronus seized power by castrating and killing his father Uranus. Like all tyrants, he too feared his demise, so Saturn had a bad habit of eating his own children to prevent them from usurping the throne.Continue reading

Be My Valentine!
Published February 14, 2011
Valentine's day is named after an early Christian martyr, Saint Valentine, and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD. Why one would associate an undying love with dying for a god, I do not know, but leave it up to the Christians for that. It appears that Saint Valentine became linked to romance in the 14th century.Continue reading

Belief in the special gifts of a Seventh Son (and Daughter) can be found in Folklore throughout the world. In France, The Seventh Son was called a 'Marcou' and branded with a fleur-de-lis.

The Seven Sisters of the Pleiades
Published November 27, 2010
The Pleiades, located more than 400 light-years away in the Taurus constellation, are the subject of many legends and writings throughout the world. Greek mythology holds that the great hunter Orion saw the Pleiads as they walked through the Boeotian countryside, and fancied them. He pursued them for seven years, until Zeus answered their prayers for delivery and transformed them into doves placing them among the stars. Later on, when Orion was killed, he was placed in the heavens behind the Pleiades, immortalizing the chase.
The Seven Sleepers
Published November 10, 2010
This story appears to be primarily a Christian story as it also has variations in the Muslim, Arabic, Scandinavian, German, Hungarian, and Welsh mythology. The basic story goes that during the time of the Roman emperor Decius, around 250 AD, seven young men were accused of Christianity. They were given some time to recant their faith, but instead gave their worldly goods to the poor and retired to a mountain to pray, where they fell asleep. The emperor, seeing that their attitude towards paganism had not improved, ordered the mouth of the cave to be sealed.

1 CommentJack of the Lantern
Published October 31, 2010
An old Irish folk tale tells of Stingy Jack, a lazy yet shrewd farmer who uses a cross to trap the Devil. The story goes that when Jack met the Devil, who claimed it was time for him to die, Jack stalled his death by tempting the Devil with a chance to bedevil the church-going villagers. Jack told the Devil to turn into a coin with which he would pay for goods from the village (the Devil could take on any shape he wanted); later, when the coin/Devil disappeared, the Christian villagers would fight over who had stolen it.
