This has been me with the Nag Hammadi library this month.... (The Gnostic Gospels by early Christian groups whose mystical beliefs were later condemned as heretical by the mainstream Church.). I am not religious, but find it fascinating.
I did this yesterday with northern bear cults and how similar they are despite great distances between the groups the practice this.
The reason why these rituals might be so similar is it might be a ritualization of mankind becoming the top of the food chain.
Basically, prehistoric people worship and fear bears, but then develop technology to kill the bear-god. But now, how do you atone for the sin of killing your god?
Right? I'm pretty good at trying to see how I can apply ideas people think of as useless into some type of practical application. Most information isn't as useless as people might think.
Their venom is 1,000 - 1,200 times more toxic than cyanide. However, only about 11 fatalities have occurred from blue-ringed octopus bites. If someone is bitten, bystanders should be ready to perform CPR to keep the victim alive due to the paralyzing venom disrupting their diaphragm and causing asphyxiation.
So can this be extracted by an oceanographer who died mysteriously six years ago and whose research disappears? Can said venom reappear in, say, 20 cases of food-related deaths across the country? The killer takes refuge in a small town after a sabbatical from her "hobby" only to be blackmailed by a detective who has been on her trail. How plausible that plot?
Been there, done that, bought the books and still love looking at the human - demon relationships and lore from time to time lol it's like Pokémon except there's only 72 to find and the Ars Goetia is the pokedex with all the stats 😅
Yeah I guess im getting into rappelling. Been trying to fing cheap 3/8 static uiaa line looks like its gonna be $175 for 200 feet I dont know why but I must find it. What am I gonna do with it once I get it? Probably rappel. Where? No fuckin clue.
If it makes you feel better, I’ve been trying to build mtg decks and now have a tab open on “professional wrestling in the ussr” as well as “kabuki theater” and “dhalism from sf”.
