Inspired by the cycles of nature, the EGYPTIANS saw time in the present as a series of recurring patterns, whereas the earliest periods of time were l i n e a r . Present events repeat the events of myth, and in doing so renew M A A T , the fundamental order of the universe. Amongst the most important episodes from the mythic past are the creation myths, in which the gods form the universe out of primordial c h a o s; the stories of the reign of the sun god Ra upon the earth; and the Osiris myth, concerning the struggles of the gods Osiris, Isis, and Horus against the disruptive god Set.

goddesses: aphrodite

aphrodite is an ancient greek goddess associated with love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. in hesiod’s theogony, aphrodite is born off the coast of cythera from the foam produced by uranus’s genitals, which his son cronus has severed and thrown into the sea. in homer’s iliad, however, she is the daughter of zeus and dione. aphrodite was married to hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths and metalworking. 

along with athena and hera, aphrodite was one of the three goddesses whose feud resulted in the beginning of the trojan war, and she plays a major role throughout the iliad. aphrodite has been featured in western art as a symbol of female beauty and has appeared in numerous works of western literature. she is a major deity in modern neopagan religions, including the church of aphrodite, wicca, and hellenismos.

Favourite Mythological Creatures: Vampires

A vampire is a being from folklore that subsists by feeding on the vital force (generally in the form of blood) of the living. In European folklore, vampires were undead beings that often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighbourhoods they inhabited while they were alive. They wore shrouds and were often described as bloated and of ruddy or dark countenance. Vampiric entities have been recorded in most cultures; the term vampire was popularised in Western Europe after reports of an 18th century mass hysteria of a pre-existing folk belief in the Balkans and Eastern Europe that in some cases resulted in corpses being staked and people being accused of vampirism.

edits alphabet ◦ ━━ Hades

Hades was the Greek God of the Underworld, the ruler of the dead.  Hades was an important God, because he incorporated the concept of the “other world” and sometimes the idea of the good and the evil.

Parvati is expressed in many roles, moods, epithets and aspects. In Hindu mythology, she is an active agent of the universe, the power of Shiva. She is expressed in nurturing and benevolent aspects, as well as destructive and ferocious aspects.She is the voice of encouragement, reason, freedom and strength, as well as of resistance, power, action and retributive justice. This paradox symbolizes her willingness to realign to Pratima (reality) and adapt to needs of circumstances in her role as the universal mother.
