Shamanism
Shamanism has been with us for a very long time. The Native Americans have Shamans; the Abroigines of Austrailia down under have Shamans; there are Tibetan Shamans, Eskimo Shamans; Lapp Shamans, etc. They are all still practicing today. The question you must ask yourself now is this, what do you a 21st Century, Western man/woman, living in a city, have in common with these practicing Shamans, or even the Shamans of the past. The Shamans of old were known to live off by themselves

Materialism - The Superstition of an Age
Ancient Greek thinkers imagined that all bodies consisted of tiny particles called atoms.

According to this belief, matter was timeless and eternal, and nothing beyond matter could exist. Supernatural events that intervened in entities' behavior and altered their structures was sheer superstition, unacceptable. All axioms

Common Misconceptions About Forensic Animations
There seems to be many preconceived notions about forensic animations and their overall use in litigation. Many times, lawyers or accident reconstructionists will say that "An animation can show whatever the animator wants" or "Animations are difficult to admit in a court of law". However, to a forensic animator, this is also like saying, that your accountant can "fix your books". In reality, it is far from the truth.Misconception #1 - "An animation can show whatever the animator

But Ganesha also evokes a very down-to-earth affection. Some of this warmth emanates from his close involvement in our everyday lives and from the mythological tales about him and his family. The legends about Ganesha depict him as a devoted son and a loving brother.There's no Hindu grandmother who doesn't love

The Story Behind the Main Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egyptians
The ancient Egyptians had over 100 Gods, each one had its own role to play in their life, symbolized a specific entity and had a different appearance. Some gods and goddesses took part in creation, some brought the flood every year, some offered protection, and some took care of people after death. Religion was of great importance to Ancient Egyptians, it touched every aspect of their life. The Egyptians lived in fear of the malicious spirits and their god's dissatisfaction that is why

Animals in the News, Part One: Animal-Animals
Article by Gene Lalor
The cynical comedian W.C. Fields famously said, "Anyone who hates children and animals can't be all bad." Whether Fields was serious or not is debatable since he often performed with both children and animals and he financially supported his two sons even when he didn't have to. The point is that children and animals aren't all that bad even though both can be difficult at times and even if both can turn vicious.

Animal Intelligence and Animal Deities
One of the things that modern, urban people seem to find hard to grasp is how keenly observant indigenous people are. They know the environment around them in a way we never can.
Observing the animals living near them was a survival skill. Understanding them helped early people find food that was safe to eat, find water in drought times, and predict storms.
Animists and other indigenous peoples are very aware of the intelligence of the animals in their area. They learn from them and
