I really like the colours you get on magpies, what at first glance looks like a other black and white bird is actually full of these wonderfully iridescent greens and purples

Once my brain made the Totoro connection I could never unsee it. This picture is like passing down the curse 😆

In pre-Solon Athens, families could literally bury their dead on their property, while in Sparta, the dead were sometimes laid to rest by temples¹. Chthonic Gods, of the dirt and underworld, like Hekate and Zeus Ktesios were worshipped inside the home, or at the threshold. By the 2nd Century, it was not unheard of for ancient Greeks to visit Oracles of the Dead to get guidance from heroes or their ancestors.

Yes, the ancients did believe that calling Hades' name would invite him into their homes so they called him Pluton or Zeus-Chthonios.

To say that one should never worship a god, namely Hades and Ares, because of their "miasmic" properties is confusing when you remember that Athena and Zeus are both war gods too, blood and the killing of animals were involved in most ancient offerings, and there are like a hundred and one different ways to cleanse miasma.

You lived on this planet for decades, you know what you like, there are hundreds of websites where you can type into any search engine " things to do in [area]" and have at least a hundred different options.

The most popular website as you type in "recipes" into google have sections where you click dinner- quick and easy and those usually rely on staples + 1 or 2 items. I found 30 recipes on chicken alone.
