Thank you Nisa for this excellent overview! It's so interesting to see these different examples of esotericism/mysticism/magic, and to think about how they intersect with Japanese history and culture. And I especially want to thank you for including a thorough list of sources!
I am much more sure that these are tales told over camp fires & embellished at every telling until ‘tall’ (likely 6ft or so – still tall for the era) became 10ft tall, etc….happens to most stories retold over generations, and then based on people’s imaginations regarding ‘gods’ & ‘fairies’ & ‘demons’ etc, all of which they used to explain what they could not understand about the world, all became whatever their ‘witch doctors’ decided made a good story – remember they were the power of the clan or tribe, and the more they could scare everybody the more power they had ! Who knows what a lively mind will conjure up when in the grip of a narcotic drug ! I avoid anything that makes my brain go in that direction simply because it is so easy to get shivery over the unknown & your own fears ! Many societies used to scare children with these stories to make them behave out of fear ! Nice !

It’s okay that you’re ignorant about the ancient world. There were no slaves at this time, not for thousands and thousands of years until the bronze age when men took over the world. It’s fine that you don’t know anything, but please, just preface your ignorant comments with “Maybe”. Instead of pretending you know when you’re just making shit up.
The photo labeled Scythian arrowheads are not the classic style referred to in the article, they are neither trilobite or bullet shaped. Those shown are more characteristic of a later period where heavier arrows were used. The typical trilobite points are very common and finding correct photos shouldn’t be difficult. I could provide pictures from my collection if it would be helpful.
Having the correct photo here would improve this article.
The extract, below has been taken from an article I wrote a some years ago.
"A Virus has never been observed to move as it has no motor function and therefore doesn’t have the tools to move independently around my fluid system.
It has no respiratory apparatus.
It has no brain.
It therefore has no metabolism and following along logically, if this is the case, it cannot reproduce or multiply.
So there!
I will swear to whoever I need to swear to that I am getting this information from well recognised medical texts and I am not sucking it out of my thumb.
Guyton’s Medical Textbook acknowledges that Viruses have no reproductive system, no locomotion, no metabolism and cannot be reproduced as live entities in vitro*1.
A Virus does not possess any of the characteristics of a biological, living thing and further it has never, and I repeat never, been observed ‘alive’.
The notion that a Virus lies in wait or has an incubation period is therefore patently ridiculous, absurd and corrupt science.
It does not invade the body, as it already exists within the body and can’t jump from one species to another, as we are informed that Avian flu has."
The Dragon or Winged Serpent is actually a symbol for the Devil AKA Lucifer. She is always the highest ranknig female tetraploid human of the Serpent People tribe/clan, the 13th astrological sign. The wings represent the power of flight as they are the ones flying around in UFOs and USOs. They built the pyrmaids around the globe as wall as other megalithic structures. They will NEVER teach you this at university but you can find the TRUTH in Secrets of the Pink Kush, the only book in the world to divulge the occult or hidden knowledge and forbidden knowledge. Their existence is not to be known and they wrote the Old Testament.
I've just seen a ring that has what looks like Atargatis on the back of a disc, & on the frojnt is what looks like a North American tribal chief. Do you have any evidence of Americas' indigenous mermaid myths? Did they have a mermaid deity, too(as Syria)?
Made some elderberry cordial once, was slightly nicer than and similar to blackcurrant Ribena from a shop.
Made the elderflower shampagne a few times too, that was really nice and what most people use the tree for, although if unformented in cordial it tastes like a sweet imagination of cat wee (like the flowers smell).
Don't confuse with box elder though , a smaller relative, as their berries are poisonous.
There are many, many innocuous plants that are medicinal.
For example, All mushrooms are medicinal is some way. Dandelion is a powerful medication. Echinacea Purpurea is a good as Elderberry for the same symptoms.
I grow organically, herbs and make herbal medicines.
I have a tincture that will prevent flu or a cold from beginning in the first place, forever.
In nature a medication exists for every symptom that humans have ever displayed.
Everything we need to survive can be found in nature, both food and medication.
All pills from the Chemists are originally from plants, they have extracted the active ingredient so the the pill can be patented, but this renders the medication toxic and you will need another pill for the side effects.
Not the case with natural, herbal medication.
I love this article because it proves my grandmother right! As kids we used to pick Elberberries to make jelly, which was delicious. Grandma used to say it was a sweet treat that would keep us healthier. Unfortunately the location where we used to harvest elberberries was destroyed decades ago to make room for a public recreational area. I have never found them in the wild anywhere around here and it’s not something you find in stores. I hope to create a proper growing environment in my back yard and plant some when I find a vendor or natural source. Sweet dreams!
“Gelfman believes he is the first person in over 500 years to notice the distended vein” what an egotist… thousands have seen the vein and accepted it as part of the sculpture by not blowing their horn about it. as far a Michelangelo being ahead of anybody by showing it on a sculpture… that’s just another example of someone trying to gain 15 seconds of famme without doing any research.
native: thank you for your transmission and deffinition! so, is a line from perhelion,january 4 (sirius star)through the sun and toward aphelion,july 5(star vega in lyra) what is called the 'rulers line' and the direction of the milky way galaxy center is in the direction of the extension of that line through vega in lyra? how is the direction of galactic rotation in relation to the rulers line determined?
Here you can navigate quickly through all comments made in any article sorted by date/time.
Scary. This bacteria is still with us. Thank God for penicillin. Hope it doesn't become resistant

An excellent article and extremely well-written. Thank you.
Massive world wide flood at the end of the younger dryas. Goblecki Tepi was built right after that. Cappadocia likely connected.

From that angle, it appears that Moses has horns growing from his head.

so, is a line from perhelion,january 4 (sirius star)through the sun and toward aphelion,july 5(star vega in lyra) what is called the 'rulers line' and the direction of the milky way galaxy center is in the direction of the extension of that line through vega in lyra? how is the direction of galactic rotation in relation to the rulers line determined?
Gelfman told USA Today that Michelangelo was aware of “temporary jugular venomous dissension in healthy individuals who are excited.”
Um, no. VENOUS. The word is venous, not venemous, not Venus...
