Another favorite ancient deity of ours associated with lions is Isthar / Inanna, who we met on the pod all the way back in Season 1 in our Taurus episode.
Here she is seemingly walking a lion on a leash like the epic warrior/love/ date (the fruit) / wool / rain (etc) goddess she is!

In Greek mythology, #Oceanus is the #Titan god of the great river that encircled the world, believed to be the source of all seas, rivers, and springs. He was one of the eldest Titans, born from #Gaia and #Uranus.
Unlike most of his Titan siblings, Oceanus stayed out of the great war between the Titans and the #Olympians. With his wife and sister #Tethys, he fathered thousands of river gods and ocean #nymphs known as #Oceanids.

Who is Erebus
In Greek mythology, #Erebus is the god and personification of darkness and shadow, one of the first beings to emerge from #Chaos. He represents the deep gloom that fills the spaces between the world and the Underworld.
Erebus is often seen as the brother and companion of #Nyx, and together they brought forth many of the darker forces of existence, like #Sleep, #Death, and #Dreams.

Hey… I’m Life or Death.
I don’t really see many people around here talking about the old gods anymore, so I figured—why not me?
I’m not some scholar or expert, just someone who’s been walking this path and learning as I go.
If you’ve ever felt that quiet pull toward something ancient, something sacred… then maybe you’ll feel at home here too.#12Gods #hellenicpolytheism #hellenic #religion #mythology #myths #greekmythology #gods

Well, at least it's not Fish(or Snake) Oil:
Myth: WD-40 Multi-Use Product contains fish oil.
Fact: “Consumers have told us over the years that they have caught some of the biggest fish ever after protecting their fishhooks and lures with WD-40 Multi-Use Product. We believe this legend came from folks assuming that the product must contain fish oil, since it appears to attract fish. Sorry, Charlie®, it just ain’t so.”

TIL: That Joseph Campbell is trash, universal myths aren't going to save us but maybe folklore can.

The Problem of Defining #God
https://new.exchristian.net/2024/03/the-problem-of-defining-god.html
Is there one God or many? Does He have all the omni traits or is He limited in some ways? Does He care about us, or are we insignificant bugs to Him? How do we know the answers to any of these, and many similar questions? The usual answer is that there is a #holy book, the #Quran, #Bible or #BookofMormon for example, which tells us about this being.
