Have you ever watched religious gatherings and been fascinated by the way that people behave? I do. They are so willing to give themselves up completely to the experience. That can be a beautiful thing, yes, but then I see how they fall to their knees and grovel. Some pull themselves […]
Friday, June 23rd, 2006Mythology, Religions, & Metaphors
I’ve been thinking a lot about the goddess Aine lately. In her mythology it is said that she’s raped by one of the kings, and in vengeance kills both him and all of his sons.
This story - to me - is symbolic. Aine would represent nature and the earth, and the king would […]
A dream of discoveries
It seems that most people think of dreams as containing important meanings. Interpretations have been saught for their dreams for hundreds of years, and though I’m typically skeptical of dream symbols, I am in truth no different.

In “The Importance of Spirituality” I posted why I believe spirituality to be important to human life. The gist of that article is that spirituality is what makes us human rather than merely another animal.
However, there are always at least two sides to a story. Focusing too much on one thing is unhealthy […]
The Importance of Spirituality
The morning that I began this article I sat listening to music and as often happens while doing so, my mind wandered. Music is a beautiful catalyst for imaginative and sometimes deeper thoughts.
My thoughts, floating on the waves of this music, turned to humanism and philosophy. To the way that we behave, and […]
