Mythology and Symbolism -...

Odessa Nightshade

Mythology has long served as a means for civilizations to interpret the world, explain natural phenomena, and pass down cultural values. At the heart of these ancient stories lies symbolism, a powerful tool that conveys deeper meanings beyond the literal narratives. Symbols in mythology are not just decorative elements but vessels of wisdom, embodying universal truths that transcend time and geography. Whether representing divine power, cosmic forces, or the human experience, these symbols continue to influence art, literature, and philosophy. Understanding them allows for a deeper appreciation of ancient myths and their lasting relevance.
Symbols in mythology often serve as bridges between the physical and spiritual worlds. Many ancient cultures used them to express concepts that were otherwise difficult to articulate. For example, the serpent appears in myths across civilizations, representing both wisdom and deception, life and death. The world tree, found in Norse, Mayan, and Hindu traditions, symbolizes the connection between heaven, earth, and the underworld. These recurring motifs highlight the shared human fascination with life’s mysteries and the interconnected nature of different belief systems.
The study of mythological symbols also sheds light on the values and priorities of ancient societies. A thunderbolt, wielded by gods such as Zeus and Indra, signifies divine authority and raw power, reflecting the belief in the supremacy of celestial forces. In contrast, sacred animals, such as the Egyptian scarab or the Greek owl, represent wisdom, transformation, or protection, illustrating how people sought guidance from the natural world. Ritual objects, from swords to chalices, often hold dual meanings, symbolizing both material and spiritual power.

I Think Therefore I Orgasm -...

Sylvain Bosselet

In their search for truth and happiness, the classical philosophers overlooked one of the most important facets of our lives—sexuality. The author rectifies this error by questioning this field of knowledge and practice: What is "good" coitus? What is a "nice" ass? What is a "legal" sexual act? What is universally "true" in sexuality? Who is "perverse?" Does sex represent a momentary pleasure, or could it embody a foundation for happiness? Using concrete examples, Sylvain Bosselet deconstructs the preconceptions that hinder our freedom and hinder sexual happiness. He seeks to lay the foundations for a philosophy of sex.

Michael Hingston

A fascinating investigation of a beloved comic strip The internet is home to impassioned debates on just about everything, but there’s one thing that’s universally beloved: Bill Watterson’s comic strip Calvin and Hobbes.

The story of a boy and his best friend ― a stuffed tiger ― was a pitch-perfect distillation of the joys and horrors of childhood, and a celebration of imagination in its purest form. In Let’s Go Exploring, Michael Hingston mines the strip and traces the story of Calvin’s reclusive creator to demonstrate how imagination ― its possibilities, its opportunities, and ultimately its limitations ― helped make Calvin and Hobbes North America’s last great comic strip.
