Pegasus Cats Rising!

///

Claude.ai --

The winged horse Pegasus sprang from the blood of Medusa, slain by Perseus. Hero Bellerophon captured and rode Pegasus, defeating the Chimera in battle. Emboldened, Bellerophon flew towards Olympus, but arrogant ambitions angered Zeus. Punished, they tumbled back to earth. Yet Pegasus earned a place on Olympus, becoming Zeus's steed and a symbol of inspiration.

Leftists must stop building their around being Leftists.

Identity is primary to the human experience and will always be protected. If 'the revolution' or whatever society you advocate for were to occur that identity would be obliterated because Leftists largely understand themselves in relation to ie the dominant mode. As such they will take any and all action required protect that identity.

This particularly applies to whites because their identity is generally speaking far more fragmented than those who have cultural, community based, or ancestral identities and mythologies (ie collective stories) to reinforce other aspects of their identity.

A massive hunt for the fabled Loch Ness Monster got started this weekend. Maybe it’s just a good excuse to deploy thermal drones. Gizmodo explains how an independent research team will attempt to detect any heat signatures lurking beneath the surface. flip.it/ixiADk

Clytemnestra Draws a Final Bath

///

ChatGPT-4:

While Agamemnon was away during the Trojan War, Clytemnestra started an affair with Aegisthus. Upon Agamemnon's return from the war, Clytemnestra and Aegisthus murdered him in his bath.

Clytemnestra then ruled Mycenae with Aegisthus. Their reign ended when Orestes, Clytemnestra's and Agamemnon's son who had been sent into exile, returned and killed both Clytemnestra and Aegisthus in an act of revenge.

On Wednesday evening, August 16, four pagans joined me for "Revisited, Recycled, and Revamped: How Pagans Use Myths for New Stories that Matter" at the Parliament of the World's Religions. We had a vibrant discussion on myth, story, and the power of narrative. At the end of the panel, I shared a QR code which has the URL for a page on my website with more biographical details and social contacts for each of my panelists...

THE STORY:
Morgan, Arthur's sister, one day caught the knight she loved in the arms of another young lady. She bewitched the place and decided that any knight passing through this valley would be condemned to stay there if he failed in love. For twenty years, two hundred and fifty three knights have been living there with their mistresses, without anyone being able to leave it. This Val is for them "without return", until the day when will deliver them a knight with the heart which will never have failed in love: Lancelot.
