Article by Tia Jones

On April 5, 1909 a story appeared in the Arizona Gazette claiming that an archeological expedition funded by the Smithsonian Institute had found caves in the Grand Canyon which contained ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and artifacts. No follow up story was ever done, sources were not verified, and the Smithsonian has no record of it. Just a hoax, right? That's what many people thought and the

The double drumming, which some journeyers prefer, is also by Michael Harner, assisted by David Corbin. Both are using single-headed, round-frame drums.

Hindu God Ganesha Family

Elephant-headed Ganesha, Hinduism's most popular deity, is a study in dichotomy. He is held in awe and reverence as a powerful force who removes obstacles in people's lives. 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

Reunion of Jews and Joes Based on Spirituality

The reunion of the House of Judah and the Ten Northern Tribes, often called the House of Joseph, is based on the spiritual condition of the hearts of the people Creator is gathering. It will not be based on DNA results.It is interesting that Creator revealed to me that the resulting "Tribe of Israelites" which will exist after the reunion of the House of Judah and the "Lost Tribes of Israel" will be called the "Rainbow Tribe". There is a Native American prophecy also about the Rainbow

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

Shamanism

When it comes to traditional Shamanism, I have mixed beliefs. Granted, I highly respect it and have gained much from studying with traditional Shamans for the past few years. However, I have heard too many stories about people not getting what they could have out of a Shamanic Experience and the Ayahuasca Experience when they put too much emphasis on the Shaman being traditional. There is much fault in the traditional and ancient shamanic path and that is why I am pushing to redefine "The

Shamans, Housewives, and Other Restless Spirits (Study of the East Asian Institute)

This is an ethnography of Korean women's ritual realm...the rites that demarcate, the supernatural beings who inhabit it, and the shamans who diagnose its vicissitudes and heal its ills. The rituals women perform in public and private, alone or with the help of shamans, reveal a complex system of beliefs and practices encapsulating significant notions of household, family, and kin. Whether as

Pygmy Goats and the Conscious Mind Within the Beast

The nature of consciousness in pygmy goats deserves some discussion. We've explored individuated personalities, behavioral idiosyncrasies, and ratiocinative will in our four pygmy goats: Charlie, Ella, Jack, and Sally, but all of these discussions inevitably lead to the central issue of consciousness or reflexive thought.Much of this discussion has been clouded in the past by our desire, as morally responsible homo sapiens, to only eat other species if they are unconscious.

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.
