Ways of Worship: Nemesis
Nemesis is the Goddess of divine retribution, justice, and revenge. She handed out punishment for evil deeds, undeserved good fortune, and hubris. Her Roman form is Invidia. Nyx is Nemesis's mother, however, her father is widely disputed. Some say Zeus, while others claim Oceanus and even Erebus. Nemesis's children are as disputed as her father. Some myths claim she is the mother of Helen and her twin Clytemnestra, and likewise the twins Castor and Pollux, but Leda was also sourced to be the mother of both sets of twins. In the case of Castor and Pollux, Nemesis is said to be the birth mother, while Leda was the one to raise the twins as an adopted mother and the only one they knew.

Bring Religion Back: The Answer to All Our Problems!
I’ve never been a religious person. Even when I was little enough to be open to the idea of religion, I could remember sitting around thinking about how “ridiculous” the Bible sounded.

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.

God Wasn't There (Ch. 1)

'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.
