    Garden of Doom E.267 Canaanite Gods

    We welcome back Professor Michael York to discuss Canaanite Gods. This includes the Israelites, Akkadians, Babylonians, and others. Due to proximity, we venture a bit into Sumeria, Egypt, Vedic India and beyond. We even touch upon Hittites, Minoans and Sea Peoples. But it's mostly Yahweh versus Ba'al with a dash of Inanna and Ashura, and other easy to pronounce names. Along the way we discuss soime recurring themes like evil baby eating Gods to matriarchal godheads versus patriarchal godheads. Somewhere along the line, Margorie Taylor Green came up. Oh my! Anyway, you don't want to miss this regional Gods discussion, which had earlier roots and ramifications that continue today. And I wasn't crazy about AI and translation. The Professor found this afterwards  https://www.hellenic.org.au/post/the-babylonian-engine#:~:text=The%20AI%20model%20was%20trained,and%20from%20cuneiform%20symbols%20directly.

    Garden of Doom E.266 Canada's Indigenous Literature & Lore

    Keegan Dimitrijevic is of Serbian descent, is born and raised in Canada, Studies towards his Masters in Indigenous literature, and has trained with the likes of Seth Rollins and Josh Alexander as he is a working professional wrestler. From the history of Canadian colonization related to the indigenous, to an overview of the Nations, we discuss many items. Dimitrijevic indicated I asked hard hitting, good questions. I botched my chance to call it Podcast Strong Style. We covered mystical beings like the Wendigo. We discussed religious and spiritual items. What's a Totem? Is Rush good or do we all pretend they're good? Is Alpha Flight a lame super team? Do the Northern Lights and aerial phenomenon influence Indigenous beliefs? We even discuss some wrestling. But mostly the academic pursuits and my typical questions.

Since then, she became ordained while following witchcraft. She is a good witch and does a show with another witch, who is also an empath and psychic. She tells us about her journey from wrestling to witch. As always, Thomas asks the questions we all need answers to.

We visit some of those in this show. Like the Ghosts of Dickensian fame, we take you to your various stages and wrestle with these properties and our relationships with them. From Wooden Soldiers to Santa Claus, no one is completely spared.
