God Wasn't There (Ch. 2)
Power over people is a very interesting thing. We see it a lot in the animal species of the world. The strongest animal usually gets the first choice of meal and mate. In more complex species, it becomes more of a power dynamic. That position of dominance is given with an expectation that the animal with the most power is there to defend its group and therefore when the time comes, that animal will use that power to protect those that protect them.

'Why I Am an Atheist' - Book Review
Title - Why I am an Atheist Author - Bhagat Singh Number of Pages - 24 If I were to say that I have been an atheist for half of my life, I would not be completely lying. In earlier years of my life, I was an obedient, orthodox follower of Hinduism. As Bertrand Russell said in his rather very famous lecture—Why I am not a Christian, "Most people believe in God because they have been taught from early infancy to do it, and that is the main reason." Well, it was a part of those millions as well!

Full Moon Ritual
These photos were taken during a very special full moon in the Amazon jungle. I was volunteering to do medicinal plant research guided by a Shaman who had the most beautiful, gentle, inspiring and captivating soul. He was one of those mesmerizing people you just wanted to be around and listen to even though there was a language barrier; fortunately, a translator was provided.

Greek Entities Story
I'm Athena. I've had to provide the wisdom for the gods and the Greek mortals. Ares isn't wise on his own. He goes in, checks ablaze, and makes a mess of the enemy while I'm left having to clean it up. Nike shows up for about a second to declare Ares's side victorious again, then I come in and console the families of the dead on both sides. Ares does his victory walk without a care in the world because his only goal was to win yet another victory. He usually feels the need to do so right after Zeus has lauded Herakles to him, after he gained yet another victory. They both relied on their strength from being divine and semi-divine.

Ways of Worship: Athena
Athena is the Goddess of wisdom/knowledge, handicraft (crafts), and war/battle strategy. She is the daughter of Zeus and has no mother. The myth says Zeus had a severe migraine so he split open his head and out came Athena. Another variation is that she was banging her spear which caused the migraine or that she split his head open with the spear. No matter the lore Athena is one of the maiden or virgin Goddesses. This is largely contributed to the fact that Zeus didn't have sex to create Athena, instead having been created by thoughts or knowledge. Since she is a maiden Goddess. She has no children birthed from her, however, she does have an adoptive son Erichthonius of Athens. Her Roman form is Minerva. Athena resides on Mount Olympus and is one of the 12 Olympians.
