The Sumerian civilization, one of the earliest known civilizations, emerged in the southern region of Mesopotamia around 4500 BCE. They were known for their advanced city-states, monumental architecture, and the development of the earliest known writing system, cuneiform. Myths played a crucial role in shaping the beliefs, values, and societal structure of ancient cultures, including the Sumerians. The Sumerian Creation Myth, Enuma Elish, is a significant example of how myths were used to explain the origins of the world and the role of gods in shaping human destiny. This epic tale, written on seven clay tablets, describes the struggle for...
Everyone has a dark side. Consider all the things we dislike about ourselves. We have numerous bad habits, actions, and attitudes that we have been told are not nice.

It is referred to as the Vikings’ Compass and gives us the vision to navigate from one dimension to another, both physically and spiritually. Thin bits of iolite were employed as the first polarizing filter in history by Leif Eriksson and other Viking explorers who traveled far into the Atlantic Ocean, away from any coastline that would help them pinpoint their location. They could navigate securely to the New World and return by using an Iolite...
Orisha (also spelled Orisa and Orishas) are supernatural beings in the Yoruba religion of West Africa that are often referred to as deities, despite the fact that they are actually emanations or avatars of the ultimate entity, Olodumare. Their number is typically stated as 400 + 1 as a form of abbreviation for “without number” or “innumerable.” Belief in the Orishas is estimated to have developed between 500 and 300 BCE, but it is most likely considerably older, as archaeological evidence supports this date and many West African sites remain unexcavated. According to Yoruba religion, Olodumare is too vast for...
