Hindu God Ganesha's Broken Tusk - What's it All About?
Article by Chris T.
There are 3 varying possibilities why Hindu God Ganesha has a broken tooth. If laptops had existed way back when the sacred Hindu epic poem, Mahabharata was written, Ganesha might never had attained a broken tusk. How so? Sage Vyasa, the author of the epic, needed an assistant who would inscribe his work, someone gifted with an agile mind and nimble hand to cope with the torrent of words that poured out of him. Who

The Role of Animals of Ancient Egypt
To the ancient Egyptians, animals were created by the gods and given rights equal to that of mankind. They saw animals not as their subjects, but rather as independent beings, and treated them with respect. The Nile served as a source of food and was the most important factor to the agriculture of the region.

Wild Animal Intelligence is Often Hiding From View
It is always difficult to capture wild animal intelligence on film or in actual observation, but it is not impossible nor is it to be consider non-existent. Many times wild animals are caught and nurtured back to health when injured by humans and then set back free, during the minor periods of captivity they are taught new skills. Yet so often once back in the wild they do not teach their local grouping the skill or even their offspring. It does happen and has been documented, but still

Writing as the founder of the modern study of the history of religion, Romanian émigré--scholar Mircea Eliade (1907-1986) surveys the practice of Shamanism over two and a half millennia of human history, moving from the Shamanic traditions of Siberia and Central Asia--where Shamanism was first observed--to North and South America, Indonesia, Tibet, China, and beyond.

Why Earthing Is Important for Shamanism
I recently read a book titled, Earthing, that I think is...earthshaking. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Why Did the Egyptians Have Animal-Headed Deities?
Lisa asks: Why Did the Egyptians only have animal-headed deities? Were they unimaginative? Take Anubis for example. "Let's give him a jackal's head cause that'll be really scary and awesome." What were they thinking?
Animal Deities answers:
First of all, ancient Egyptians did not only have animal-headed deities, as the picture on the right shows. Osiris was not an animal-headed deity, because he was/represented the crops that died (were harvested) and lived

Animism: How Spiritual Beliefs Evolve
Evolution of Beliefs
Scientists say that animal deities eventually led to goddesses and then to gods. You can see some of that progression in the Egyptian goddesses and gods, who are often shown with the heads of animals---the animal that each one derived from.
As peoples lives changed, as gathering wild plants and hunting gradually changed to gardening and herding animals, and then eventually to farming, the beliefs of the peoples evolved as well. The belief in animal deities
