SystemsWiki The Greek God Family Tree – Veritable Hokum UPDATE 11/23/2015: I made an updated poster version, with like a dozen extra gods! Buy it here! “I’ll just list all the Greek Gods,” I said. “It’ll be easy.” I had no idea. There are just so many. So this is not even close to a full list of Gods and Goddesses, to say nothing of all the demigods, mythical creatures, anthropomorphized-concepts, and other things that show up in Greek mythology. In order of appearance: Primodial Deities Before there were Gods, there were these God-like anthropomorphized concepts. Gaia (aka Gaea) Primeval Goddess of the Earth Gaia was mother of more or less everyone and everything, which is only one of the reasons her descendants’ family tree is so screwed up. Ouranos (aka Uranus) Primeval God of the Sky Ouranos was his own stepfather, and had some serious sibling rivalry with his children. Aphrodite Olympian Goddess of Love Oh but that penis? So, count with me now: incest, murder, castration, “foam,” incest again, pedophilia, and we’re only three gods in! Themis
Letting Go of Attachment “Most of our troubles are due to our passionate desire for and attachment to things that we misapprehend as enduring entities.” ~Dalai Lama Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Lori Deschene of Tiny Buddha. If there’s one thing we all have in common it’s that we want to feel happy; and on the other side of that coin, we want to avoid hurting. We pin our happiness to people, circumstances, and things and hold onto them for dear life. We attach to feelings as if they define us, and ironically, not just positive ones. In trying to hold on to what’s familiar, we limit our ability to experience joy in the present. When you stop trying to grasp, own, and control the world around you, you give it the freedom to fulfill you without the power to destroy you. It’s no simple undertaking to let go of attachment—not a one-time decision, like pulling off a band-aid. The best approach is to start simple, at the beginning, and work your way to Zen. Experiencing Without Attachment Call yourself out.
