Meet the Gods of Ancient Egypt: Ra, Isis, and Anubis

Ancient Egyptian mythology is a rich tapestry of gods and goddesses, each with a unique story. Ra, the Sun God, was believed to create and sustain life, while Isis, the Goddess of magic and motherhood, was worshipped for her strength and love. 

Anubis, the jackal-headed god, guarded the dead and guided souls to the afterlife. Imagine walking the same sacred grounds where these gods were worshipped thousands of years ago. Join our mythology-focused tours and connect with Egypt’s spiritual past!

Paternal Haplogroup J and Abraham’s Lineage

The Paternal Y Chromosome Haplogroup J is a genetic signature tracing back to the Near East including ancient Mesopotamia, with its origins often linked to the Fertile Crescent, a cradle of early civilization. 

Abraham, the patriarch of the Ishmaelites and the Israelites, was born in Ur, Mesopotamia, and later settled in Canaan. Ur, was a prominent Sumerian city-state, where the primary deity worshipped was Nanna, the Sumerian Moon god.

The Sumerian primary deity was An. The Sumerians believed An, was the creator of the cosmos, setting all creation into motion. An, was regarded as the father of the gods. An, is known as Anu by the Akkadians.

In contrast, The chief deity worshipped in Canaan was El, regarded as the father of the gods, creator of the world, and ruler of the divine council.

Here we illustrate two major branches descending from Abraham: Ishmael, representing the Arabian lineage, and Isaac, the ancestral line of the Israelites.

Through Ishmael’s lineage, we trace the Quraysh tribe of Arabia, which includes notable figures such as the Prophet Muhammad and the Hashemite lineage. J-L859 is recognized as the genetic signature of the Hashemites, a clan within the Quraysh tribe.

This clan, known as Banu Hashim, derives its name from the Prophet Muhammad's great-grandfather, Hashim ibn Abd Manaf. The Hashemites are direct descendants of the Prophet through his daughter Fatima and her husband Ali ibn Abi Talib, who was also the Prophet’s paternal first cousin and the fourth caliph of Islam. Ali and Fatima had two sons, Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein, further solidifying the Hashemite legacy.

On Isaac’s side, we find the priestly lineage of Aaron. J-Z18271 is identified as the genetic signature of the Jewish Priesthood, the Kohanim lineage. This ancient priestly class, traces its heritage to Aaron, the elder brother of Moses. The Jewish priesthood began when Moses anointed Aaron as the first high priest, establishing a sacred lineage that has been preserved through generations.

The story of Paternal Haplogroup J, traced through Abraham’s lineage, serves as a profound reminder of our shared origins and interconnected histories. From Mesopotamia to Canaan and beyond, these lineages have left an indelible mark on humanity, shaping cultures, religions, and civilizations.

Whether through the Arabian Hashemite lineage or the Israelite Kohanim priesthood, these genetic threads weave a rich tapestry of faith, heritage, and resilience. They remind us that, despite our differences, we are bound by a common ancestry that continues to influence and inspire the world today.

Awakening Beyond the Matrix: A Journey of Self-Discovery

And then, one day, you wake up with the feeling that there’s a bigger world, a vast and complex universe, a lighter life waiting out there. That’s how I woke up, full of questions. Unlike what many might think, I didn’t receive answers; I received more questions. Many, many more questions.

I questioned my sanity, I questioned everything and everyone around me. And then, I saw. I saw that there’s life outside the Matrix. There’s a much lighter life, an infinite world, and a universe of multiple dimensions.

The Matrix doesn’t let you see beyond; it punishes you for your "crimes" of curiosity, or perhaps, for some, that punishment is a relief. After all, seeing outside the Matrix, seeing beyond, is to discover the most beautiful things while also accepting that sometimes, there’s no beauty at all. I realized there’s more shadow than light.

I understood that what they teach us is only useful for living inside the Matrix. Going beyond is forbidden; it’s labeled as MADNESS.

That’s what I hear the most—that there’s nothing beyond the Matrix, that thinking otherwise is madness, a SIN.

Please, seek the cure. Seek self-knowledge. Knowledge is freedom.

I find myself alone, more than I’ve ever been before. I’m searching for those who share the same view of life, the idea that there’s a vast universe outside this Matrix, and I find myself alone, outside of it. If you, reading this, believe in the ancient Gods, if you believe that Athena is alive out there, that you’ve encountered Apollo, and seen Venus on TV. If you believe Hermes is among us, please, write to me. I feel so alone in this universe. If you believe that we are stars on Earth, write to me.

Years of therapy taught me this. I question my sanity every day.

I live each day pretending, or rather, acting as if I live inside the Matrix, like them, who only consume social media, who only think about buying and spending. Every day, I put on my best mask and go to work, acting as if I believe in everything they do, as if I, too, am in the Matrix. But deep inside, within my soul, I believe there isn’t just one God, but many. That the Gods will indeed return to help humanity. I believe in my soul that I’m here to do something great, though I don’t know if that greatness will ever come to pass. I fear living a mediocre life. GOD save me from a mediocre life. I want an extraordinary life! Full of adventures outside this Matrix! I want to enjoy it, but how? HOW? Am I the only one who has escaped this Matrix?

Then I remember that some knowledge is too deep for some people.

I feel like Dr. Amelia Brand in Interstellar. On an unknown planet, alone. Believing in a reality, completely alone. They say the insane don’t question their sanity; I question mine every day.

Medusa: The Enigmatic Gorgon of Greek Mythology

In Greek mythology, Medusa holds a prominent place as one of the most intriguing and feared creatures known as the Gorgons. Described as a winged female with snakes for hair, she possesses a unique and terrifying ability - anyone who gazes into her eyes turns into stone. The fascinating tale of Medusa is one that has captivated generations, steeped in symbolism and lessons about power, beauty, and heroic deeds.

According to ancient legends, Medusa was once a stunningly beautiful woman. However, her beauty captured the attention and desire of Poseidon, the god of the sea. In a temple dedicated to Athena, Medusa and Poseidon engaged in a clandestine affair. Athena, who was the goddess of wisdom and warfare, felt betrayed and enraged. She transformed Medusa into a monstrous Gorgon as punishment, replacing her luscious locks with a nest of serpents.

With serpents writhing on her head and terrifying wings extending from her back, Medusa became an epitome of horror and devastation. Her gaze was so powerful that any mortal who dared to look into her eyes would be instantly turned to stone. This ability, a curse stemming from her transformation, became both her defense and her greatest downfall.

Medusa's end came through a heroic quest undertaken by the demigod Perseus. Armed with a mirrored shield gifted by Athena, Perseus courageously faced Medusa in hopes of claiming her head, which possessed the ability to turn enemies into statues. Using the reflective shield to avoid direct eye contact, Perseus skillfully maneuvered to strike the fatal blow, thereby beheading the Gorgon.

Medusa's severed head continued to possess her petrifying ability, even in death. Perseus utilized its power as a weapon against his enemies and also in several mythological quests. Eventually, Perseus returned Medusa's head to Athena, who placed it on her shield, the Aegis, as a symbol of her divine power.

The myth of Medusa carries various interpretations and lessons. One common interpretation suggests that Medusa's transformation from beauty to monstrosity is a cautionary tale, cautioning against the seductive nature of power and the consequences of hubris. Medusa also represents the primal and dark forces of nature, illustrating the Greeks' understanding of the duality of existence.

Medusa's iconic image has resonated through the centuries, inspiring countless artistic renderings, literary works, and even contemporary references. She is frequently depicted as a symbol of female strength and resilience. Additionally, Medusa's snake-like hair has become an enduring symbol of danger and fear.

In conclusion, Medusa, the Gorgon of Greek mythology, stands as a captivating figure whose significance extends beyond her terrifying appearance. Through her tale, we learn timeless lessons about the consequences of power, the fragility of beauty, and the epic battles between gods and mortal heroes. Medusa's enduring legacy ensures that she will continue to fascinate and intrigue both scholars and enthusiasts of Greek mythology for generations to come.

13 Days of Halloween: "Tumbbad" (2018) Review

[mjolnir-viking-jewelry]

Perun axe pendant - 109$

★Material: High Quality Solid 960 Sterling Silver★

Weight: approx. 18 grams (0.63 oz) Height: 40 mm (1.57 inches) Two-sided axe pendant

The Axe of Perun, revered by the Slavs as a divine instrument, grants triumph in all just endeavors, instills bravery and confidence, and safeguards its possessor from malevolence and the evil eye, ushering in abundance and fertility.

In the realm of the East Slavs, Perun personifies utmost fairness and justice. He stands as the patron deity of warriors and nobles. Historical findings unveil an array of amulets known as the Axe of Perun, crafted in diverse sizes and shapes from various metals, including bronze, silver, and gold.

As a potent symbol, the axe represents courage, fortitude, and audacity. It serves as a testament to ancestral heritage and the remarkable achievements of those who shaped the world through resourcefulness. The axe embodies the spirit of the berserker, embodying the relentless pursuit of goals. It signifies the capacity of the heart and mind to sever obstacles and advance fearlessly.

Among the weapons favored by the Vikings, the axe stands as the most renowned and prevalent. Viking axes spanned from compact hand axes akin to tomahawks to long-handled battle axes. Diverging from the axes portrayed in fantastical illustrations, Viking axes featured a single blade, rendering them swifter and more agile. Some Viking axes boasted a distinctive "beard" shape, characterized by a hooked lower section facilitating the entrapment and pulling of shield rims or limbs. Axes demanded less iron, time, and skill compared to swords. Considering their indispensability on farms and homesteads, Norse individuals would have wielded axes since childhood. The Viking axe brought fame to its wielders, and even as the Viking Age waned, the descendants of the Norse, such as the Varangians of Byzantium or the Galloglass of Ireland, were highly sought-after as elite bodyguards or mercenaries renowned for their expertise in wielding axes.
