H₁n̥gʷnis is a potential Proto-Indo-European God of fire, he is similar to others indo-europeans deities such as Enji, Atar, Agni and many others.

  • 2 H₁n̥gʷnis in the Abrahmic religions
    • 2.1 Albian symbols and David Star

H₁n̥gʷnis presumably had a similar role that other indo-European deities like the Greek Hestia or Roman Vesta, being a home deity relationship with family and fire.


The gender of H₁n̥gʷnis is unclear, however some of its descendents are male like Agni and Atar, but others are female like Hestia and Vesta.

Unveiling the Power of Personal Branding: Lessons from Ganesha, the Remover of Obstacles

In Hindu mythology, Ganesha, the elephant-headed god, is revered as the destroyer of obstacles and the symbol of new beginnings. But what can this divine deity teach us about personal branding in today's competitive world?

1. Recognizable and Memorable

Just like Ganesha's unique elephant head makes him instantly recognizable, a strong personal brand should create a lasting impression. Craft a distinct personal brand that reflects your skills, experience, and values. This could involve a compelling bio, a professional headshot, or even a signature style.

2. Expertise and Authority

Ganesha is not only the remover of obstacles; he is also the patron of arts and sciences. Similarly, a powerful personal brand should establish you as an authority in…

Who's the victim?

The cold stone wall pressed against Perseus' body. It was his only way to ground himself and reassured himself that what was in front of him was no illusion. His breaths were short and staggering from the fear gripping tightly around his diaphragm. The entire cave was filled with the stench of rotting flesh and the excrement of bats.

Sickly green snakes slithered across the head of a pale woman. Illuminated by the light of Perseus' fallen torch, he could see her through the reflection of his shield resting against a statue of a man dressed in royal armour. Each gasp of breath from her was dry, and the air scraped against her parched throat.

Perseus swallowed down the rising fear boiling in his stomach. The handle of Hermes' sword was drenche…

Fear is powerful

There was nothing left of the wild chamomiles that bloomed for the gods. East winds that used to carry the fragrance of the woods and the sounds of the wild were silenced.

Instead of freshwater feeding Gaia's soil, blood rained from the battle. Men, some barely old enough to be called youths, lay gutted open like offerings to Zeus. The victors, those favoured by Nike, marched off to celebrate, whilst the Keres flocked together to feast on the flesh of the fallen and gnaw at their naked bones.

The young Phobos, a deity entering his youth, stood beside his twin brother Deimos. Their father returned to his chariot. Words could not describe the emotions that flooded through the boys' minds as they stared at the dead.

A bloody hand grabbed onto De…

Occasionem carpe

"Occasionem carpe," Mother used to whisper into my ear.

Seize the opportunity.

I stood in the open field filled with wildflowers for it was Persephone's time to visit her mother, Demeter. Apollo had ridden off with his chariot and it was only Selene and I. Even the winds Zephyrus blew, were warm as they danced through the grass.

"Caerus, I will seize thee," I warned.

The night before had been peaceful. I was at a music festival, watching the youths and maidens dance to the music and chants, celebrating Persephone's return. Within the gaggle of dancers, I spotted a heated gaze. A youth, with burning blue irises and pomegranate red lips, watched me as I stood with my companions.

One of the girls around me dared to call the youth's attention towar…

Afarit and Shayatin

The diffs between ifrits and shaitans:

  1. Ifrits are types of jinn who are inherently evil.
  2. Shaitans are fallen jinn or angels.
  3. Ifrits aren’t always evil; sometimes, it’s just an epithet for the intelligent and fast jinn.
  4. Shaitans are always evil.
  5. Ifrits are always free-willed and redeemable.
  6. As for shaitans, that depends on the work or the religion in question, some make them lack free will and irredeemable, and some make them free-willed and redeemable. Evil beings are always free-willed in Islam.

Demons in Islam

The Arabic word for demon is daymuun and often used for the Ancient Greek daemon, but what’s known as a demon in English called an ifrit in Arabic (likely a Persian influence because the native sense of the word is wicked). Actually, demons are a Christian thing, but they’ve got their equivalent in the Mesopotamian mythus, the Ancient Semitic religion, Judaism and Islam. Ifrits are different from Divs despite being adpoted partally from them, similar to daemons, divs were originally deities in the Proto-Indo-Iranian religion before they got demonised.

Ghouls

Each species in pre-Islam who was separate or from another group has become a demon (fallen angel or fallen jinni respectively) or a human in Christianity and Islam. Ghouls are often linked to ogres, jinn, and undead. But actually, the pre-Islamic Arabian view proves that they’re their own thing as even tho’ they’re very similar to monsters, bogeys, and demons, but they’re unique themselves. Actually, Islamic ghouls are jinn, European ghouls are demonic undead, East Asian ghouls are Yaoguai and Awsang (all of those were adopted from the Arabian myth), some Arabian myths also consider them as ogres, other Arabian myths consider them as humanoid animals, in Cthuthu Mythos they’re eldrich types of aliens, but I’m referring to the original pre…

Roman Mythology

Roman mythology is not exactly like Greek.

List of the Roman deities of Greek origin:

  • Apollo, originally the only son of Latona but later Diana became his sister, and she’d had no relation with Artemis except being both goddesses of hunts.
  • Hercules (Heracles).
  • Libera (Ariadne).
  • Lucifer (Eosphorus), his brother Vesper is originally Roman but identified with the Greek Hesperus.
  • Proserpina/Proserpine (Persephone/Core).
  • Pluto (Hades).
  • Bacchus (Dionysus).
  • Inuus (Pan).
  • Vesta (Hestia).
  • Juventus (Hebe).
  • Silvanus (Silenus), but later identified with Pan.

Zoroastrianism

  • Zoroastrianism is my favourite Magian religion. By the way; Surely, yazatas are gods in Yazadanism and Hinduism, but not in other Dharmic and Magian religions, being deities in Zoroastrianism or hypostases is an arguable thing (sometimes they are separate entities similar to angels) except for a few examples: Burz, Ahura Mazda, Anahita, Mithra, and those who were originally Hindus (like Usha).

The hypostasis thing is also applied to Angra Mainyu (Ravanna) and his daevas.

And surely there is no god in Manichaeism except for Zurvan. Like yazatas and daevas, aeons are deities in Neoplatonism but being deities in Gnosticism or Manichaeism is an arguable thing, but surely the Monad is the greatest among the aeons and considered a god in all the p…

Short film: My Last Day

My Last Day is a 2011 Christian anime short film created by The Jesus Film Project, with Barry Cook and STUDIO4°C. The story unfolds through the eyes of a criminal who receives the same crucifixion sentence as Jesus Christ. This is a short film of regret, repentance and redemption.

The film begins with a prisoner watching from the prison bars as Jesus gets flogged in Pilate’s courtyard. He remembers Jesus teaching and wonders why they’re hurting an innocent man. Horrified, he remembers his own crime: He’s in an alley with a rich gentleman. Holding him up with a knife, he tries to take a box of coins and belongings. The thief is nervous so when he tries to go after the man, he fumbles. The man fights him with the box. Coins go flying. The thi…

Cold Love

The myth of Pygmalion and Galatea, but if Aphrodite ignored the man's wishes.


In an old shed with mould covered walls and broken doors, sat a lonely sculptor. The stench of sweat and rotting wood danced around him. He sat to admire his work, searching for an imperfection. The sculptor’s chisel fell to the ground. Awe and fear scattered across his face. His masterpiece was finally complete. There were no imperfections. Before his hollow- eyes stood his marbled love. She stared at the sculptor with emotionless eyes. The man crawled across the filth to touch the plump thigh of his sculpted lover.

Upon his lover’s bleached skin remained the sculptor’s grimy fingerprints. For the first time in years, the sculptor smiled, causing his dried lips to…

Hello! I'm dcom, and I am new here! I made an edit or two, and I'll check out the discussions. This wiki is awesome! I'm a PJO\MC\HoO\ToA fan, but my fascination for myths started back when I was like six. My first grade year we did World History, and spent a month or two on the Greeks. I was fascinated with Sparta, where I learned it's said that Sparta is Ares' city. Ares led me to learn about Greek mythology, that led me to read PJO, and then got me into Norse myths (YAS). I now do a lot of myth incoperated writing, mostly Norse rn. You can find me on Quotev here: https://www.quotev.com/imamonster

I also love the music produced by League of Legends, MCU, Becky G, Zendaya, DuckTales, Narnia, Star Wars, and more.

About Akkor-kamuy

There are few things I want to point out regarding this entity.

At-kor-kamuy [アッコロカムイ/大章魚] is a mythological monster from the Ainu legends literally meaning “deity (kamuy) with tentacles (at-kor)” in Ainu language. The origin of At-kor-kamuy, according to Ainu people’s oral tradition from Toyo-ura Town [豊浦町] in Abuta District [虻田郡] (Hokkaido), tells how a giant spider called Yauskep [ヤウシケプ] emerged from earth and began destroying the villages. Upon hearing the villager’s cry for help, the Ainu deities appointed Repun-kamuy [レプンカムイ] to solve the problem; deity of sea/ocean in the Ainu Mythology. In order to save the villagers, Repun-kamuy drew Yauskep into the Gulf of Funka [噴火湾] (today’s Gulf of Uchiura [内浦湾]) and transformed the giant spid…

Olympians

The Olympians are a race of energy-based beings from an extradimensional planet called "Olympus", who were worshipped by the ancient Greeks and Romans. But since humanity has long outgrown their need for deities, they no longer seek worship, and thus returned to their homeworld. As for their past attitudes, being immortal gave them plenty of time to reflect on their past misdeeds and nowadays they've decided to better themselves.


Their lineage can be traced back to insanely large humanoids known as the "Titans", specifically as offspring of the ones named "Rhea" and "Kronos".

Rings of power in Norse mythology

Among the vikings, the ring was a potent symbol of power, fortune and fame. A gift of honor and form of currency, it was also sometimes a royal heirloom. The magic rings of Norse mythology were also symbols of destiny and, in their bleakest form, symbols of doom. One famous example was the cursed ring, Andvarinaut, which blighted many lives. Another ring of doom was Thor's Domhring, formed by a circle of stone statues surrounding a punishment pillar in front of his temple. The Domhring possibly symbolized the inevitability of retribution. Much more joyous and fabulous rings were Odin's astounding Draupnir which literally dripped eight similar gold rings every nine days; or Thor's Oath Ring, a symbol of fair play and good faith.

Cthulhu Mythos


The Cthulhu Mythos is a shared fictional universe, originating in the works of American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft. The term was coined by August Derleth, a contemporary correspondent and protégé of Lovecraft, to identify the settings, tropes, and lore that were employed by Lovecraft and his literary successors.

The name Cthulhu derives from the central creature in Lovecraft's seminal short story, "The Call of Cthulhu", first published in the pulp magazine Weird Tales in 1928.

Richard L. Tierney, a writer who also wrote Mythos tales, later applied the term "Derleth Mythos" to distinguish Lovecraft's works from Derleth's later stories, which modify key tenets of the Mythos. Authors of Lovecraftian horror in particular frequently use elemen…

Sauron

Sauron is the title character and main antagonist of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. He is the embodiment of a "Dark Lord."

In the same work, he is identified as the Necromancer, mentioned in Tolkien's earlier novel The Hobbit. In Tolkien's The Silmarillion (published posthumously by Tolkien's son Christopher Tolkien), he is also described as the chief lieutenant of the first Dark Lord, Morgoth. Tolkien noted that the Ainur, the "angelic" powers of his constructed myth, "were capable of many degrees of error and failing", but by far the worst was "the absolute Satanic rebellion and evil of Morgoth and his satellite Sauron".

Dracula


Dracula is an 1897 Gothic horror novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. It introduced the character of Count Dracula and established many conventions of subsequent vampire fantasy.
