Synopsis

“Thunder and Myth” explores the global phenomenon of thunder, examining its cultural significance across diverse societies. It delves into how ancient cultures, from Norse mythology's Thor to Japan's Raijin, interpreted thunder as divine communication or powerful omens. This interdisciplinary study blends history, earth sciences, and cultural studies to reveal how these myths reflect humanity's quest to understand and assign meaning to natural events. The book uniquely contrasts scientific explanations with mythological interpretations, offering a deeper understanding of varying worldviews, while highlighting the enduring human tendency to seek order in the natural world.

 
The book is structured in three parts, starting with scientific foundations and common mythological themes. It then provides in-depth analyses of specific cultures and their thunder myths, considering geographical and social contexts. Finally, the book explores interdisciplinary connections, such as the influence of myths on art and the link between lightning-prone areas and potent thunder deities.

 
Understanding these myths can also inform modern environmental awareness, underscoring the importance of cultural context in responding to natural hazards.

    We watch the news. We see war, disease, poverty, man against man. We see billions of poor people, displaced by the power brokers. We see the super rich getting richer. Many simply see the news, they don't understand or even try to. They don't know the bigger picture, the truth about what is really happening out there. 
     
    The truth is, what happens out there, affects us all. And all of those world events are happening, not by chance, but by design. All of our lives are being affected by just a few men. Those men are members of an elite group. Their ancestors plotted and schemed just as they do today. Their goals are short and long term. 
     
    They affect all levels of society. Lawmakers and enforcers, religious and political leaders, movie makers and media moguls, industrial giants and pharmaceutical murderers. 
     
    All around the world they work. Plotting and scheming, scheming and plotting. Nobody dares to speak out against them. Most don't even know. Through clever manipulation, marketing, propaganda and force, they control the world. These are not the people you're thinking of. These are not always the politicians who are often pawns themselves. 
     
    These people are members of a long line, a golden thread through history that stretches back thousands of years and can be traced through their own bloodline.
