Often in mythologies the deities related to the moon are not considered to play a significant role in their respective pantheons. In most cases the deities related to the moon is associated with goddesses because of its feminine and soft attributes. But in all periods of Mesopotamian history the moon god was regarded as a major deity. He is mostly identified by the name Nanna which has the meaning "the illuminator". Other names such as Nannar Nanna-Suen Sin Asimbabbar Namrasit and Inbu are also used to identify the god. Unlike in other mythologies Nanna is considered a very powerful god. Some sources especially those found from the reign of Nabonidus mention Nanna-as the king of gods. Originally the god was only associated with the full moon. But later he was associated with all phases of the moon. It is with this association that the god was identified by the name Su-en which has the meaning "the crescent moon". Later Su-en has been con...

"Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earth's fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread." This is a portrayal of the great god Yog-Sothoth, in the novel "The Dunwich Horror", written by HP Lovecraft. Yog-Sothoth is described as a powerful god, who knows all and sees all, as for the Lovecraftian mythology, which is also identified as the Cthulhu Mythos. The god knows the past, the present, and the future, which means there is no secret hidden, or could be hidden from the god. Yog-Sothoth coexists with all time and space, and so connects with the multiverse. Some say that the god is the embodiment of all of time and space itself. As for these beliefs, the god is the multiverse. But...

When we talk about magical creatures, the first being that comes to mind for most of us, is a fairy. A fairy is mostly described as a dragonfly or a butterfly-winged human-like creature, with supernatural powers, ranging from quite tiny to the size of a human. Fairies appear in not just one but in many mythologies, such as European, Persian, German, and much more, but it could be seen a dominant presence in the European cultures. Origin It seems in the early period; these mythologies used the term “fairy” to describe any magical creature. These creatures not only include the winged creatures that we are familiar with, but also goblins and gnomes. In these times, terms such as “Fae”, “Fair Folk”, And “Faerie”, are used as synonyms for fairies. Later many identified a fairy and fae as two different entities. Fairies are loving pure spirited magical beings who especially have the power to levitate, mostly with the help of wings. In the hierarchy of magic...

I suppose at least some of us, have experience the feeling that something is approaching, when we are alone, especially in the dark. But when we look, there’s nothing to be found, and we feel like our own imagination is playing tricks of fear. That feeling of looking into the darkness and seeing nothing, is a familiar experience to all of us, at least for most of us. But often times we are truly being followed, only our human eyes fail to find the spirit. It is the fallen angel Bezaliel that brings such dreadful experiences. He is said to be the angel of shadows, and before his fall, he was the Shadow of God. He personified the shadows and shades in creation, taking away the sense of loneliness. Bezaliel then was appointed as one of the leaders of the watchers. He was well qualified in this task due to his capability of bringing warmth and comfort to lonely humans, in the form of a shadow. Even before the fall, no other angel have seen his true form, because Bezaliel h...

When considering angels, they are mostly described as males with tall forms. But there happens to be female angels as well, in god’s heavenly court. Angel Jophiel, is one of the few female angels. Her name itself means, “beauty of god”, or, “divine beauty”. So angel Jophiel is very beautiful, both from the appearance as well as from the soul. She is the angel of wisdom, understanding, and judgment. She is even listed as one of the Seven Archangels in “Pseudo-Dionysian” teachings, but not in the book of enoch. According to the pseudepigraphal Revelation of Moses, another name for archangel Jophiel is Dina. She is described as an angel of the seventh heaven. The Zohar, the sacred text of the mystical branch of Judaism, lists her as a Great Angel Chief in charge of 53 legions. Jophiel is said to be a companion to the angel Metatron. In Anglican and Episcopal traditions, Jophiel is recognized as an archangel. Archangel Zadkiel and Jophiel is believed to help Archangel Michael to ba...

When you suffer from a drought, there’s nothing more pleasant than the sound of a thunder. It awaken those who suffer from the shimmering heat with a sense of hope, that relief from the scorching weather is nearing. Thunder not only brings hope but also awaken those from their slumber.

Ancient Greeks believed that heaven is elevated from earth, by four great pillars. Each of these pillars, are guarded, by four great titan gods. Coeus, Crius, Iapetus and Hyperion are believed to be these guardians. In my previous videos, we discussed three of these titans. On this video, I plan to talk about the titan god Coeus. Coeus, is the guardian of the northern pillar, and is considered to be the lord of north. He is the second son born to Uranus and Gaia. Of the four brothers, that helped Cronus to cut off Uranus’s testicles, Coeus happens to be the oldest. Of all the titans, Coeus, is the most intelligent. His name itself means “query”, or “questioning”. There are even stories, saying that his titan siblings often consulted Coeus, when in need of advice. With his intellect, he is believed to create celestial axis around which the heavens revolve. Along with the gift of intelligence, he was also able to foresee the future. He is often portrayed holding a sword, which signi...
