<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">The Library Kids is a middle grade (ages 8 to 12 and up) book series about a group of children who find a secret, magical library inside the Cave of the Blue Mounds that has the entire history and knowledge of the Earth in the past, present and future. The children can go back in time and meet famous people from the past and travel to any part around the world. However, the children will end up with a mission at the end of the first book. Their mission will be that they must battle the seven Enemies of the Library and defeat the Dark Master that the Enemies answer to. To do this, they must travel around the world to ancient sites and collect a set of twelve crystals that when put together will make a prison for the Dark Master. The children will travel to ancient sites in America, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Ireland, Greece, Mali, Egypt, India, Tibet, and Australia throughout the seven book series. There will be some American history as well as ancient mythology, folklore, and legend in each book. This series is sure to captivate the middle grade audience as well as adults.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />"I won this book through Goodreads and I loved it. It was a fast read, because it is written for children, yet the story held my interest and I couldn't wait to get to the end of the book and see how it ended. And now that I have read this one I want to read the others in the series! I have always been a bibliophile and the idea of a hidden library in a cave that allows one to explore one's interests in an interactive format intrigued me. I also love history and since much of this book discussed mythology, ancient civilzations, cultural anthropology and history of war and the way the children could see and experience their interests was well done. I could see parents and teachers alike using this book and the others as a springboard to other topics. Also this book discussed morals and virtues in a way that wasn't preachy leading to more learning experiences for all. Miss Moran has a good series on her hands as she tackles current issues and historic cause and effect tactfully. I am glad to see a book that can teach in a fun way back on the market; reminds of some of my favorites as a child." - Lesley</span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />"Really cute story about 5 curious children who are invited into a wonderous library! They begin an adventure that will teach them about themselves and how to combat the evil that wants to try and stop the wonder of learning. Katie always has questions and the magical library seems like the perfect place for her. She is told that she and her friends have a destiny and they will soon start on a great adventure.... Great story for middle age kids, though I am a grownup and I liked it! " - April</span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"The Library Kids Mystery of the Blue Mounds" is a juvenile chapter mystery written for the enjoyment of middle grade students everywhere. First in a series of seven Library Kids Mysteries, "Mystery of the Blue Mounds" promises to entertain and educate readers, who will be intrigued by the enigma of curious Katie O'Conner's discovery of a vast secret library in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin which allows visitors to travel to any time or place on Earth, past, present or future. Katie and three friends meet the mysterious guardian of the library, an entity named Emily. They learn they must battle the seven Enemies of the Library as part of their initiation into the Library. They also must imprison or contain the non-human Dark Master of the Enemies, or he will destroy the human race and take over the planet. The children conduct a search throughout the series for 12 crystals at ancient archaeological sites that can (together) contain the Dark Master. "The Library Kids Mystery of the Blue Mounds" is a great beginning to entice young readers to learn more about ancient mythologies and cultures and solving mysteries, and not coincidentally, the role of libraries in pursuing this knowledge." - Midwest Book Review</span></i></span></div>

<br />
It's been 2 1/2 years since I've been out selling any of my children's books, <i>The Library Kids</i>, to the public at any kind of public venue other than online. Since 2013, I've moved into some material that was only suitable for adults and I wrote ten more books that were esoteric and aimed at a mature audience. Today, I was moving in a different direction from my writing. I've been working on art pieces that were about mythology and have made my own jewelry. Today was the test to see how the public reacted to my art and jewelry, but I also brought along the remainder of my book inventory that I was selling for a very good price since I want someone to read the books rather than have them sit in a box.<br />
<br />
I was completely surprised that most of my sales came from my children's books. I haven't tried to sell my Hidden Human Story books in public yet as I was/am still on the journey of researching and writing them. Many people were also interested in my art pieces but didn't want to spend too much to purchase them (typical in the art world), but they complimented me on them.<br />
<br />
Watching the faces of the children who wanted the books and were very excited after reading the back covers and looking within the books, brought back a lot of memories for me. I was very careful and still am about what I write in children's books or any of the social media pages (blog, youtube, facebook) that are associated with them. My other books and their social media pages are a different story as my research into mythology and the past has taken me down a very dark and deep rabbit hole that I never imagined I would be in.<br />
<br />
As I've mentioned before, I wrote screenplays when I first started out trying to be a writer and had one of them optioned twice by the producer of the movie, <i>Norma Rae</i>. She tried her best, but couldn't get a studio to put up the money for the project. I moved on to the children's books and self-published. As of today, I've never made enough money back on book sales to pay for the start up cost for the project and may never will, but it was worth it. These books will remain as long as we can print books long after I am dead and so will my other books.<br />
<br />
A writer is never done writing. I never say never to the possibility of writing another book in <i>The Library Kid's </i>series. But for now, I've got some ideas for another project aimed at the adult audience that may be very dark and mysterious. I will continue to post articles on this blog that are family friendly but I hope you understand that as a writer, I may move into different territory. Thanks for your interest.<br />

<br />
Today I met a very talented artist named Colleen Koziara. We all have our tastes in art, but when I saw the color and subject of her art, I was just amazed. Her work includes acrylics, illustrations for adult and children's books, teaching, writing, body art, and much more. From freelanced.com:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">In addition, Colleen does private art instruction from her home for all ages, as well as art instruction for seniors in the Chicagoland area. Colleen does Mural Art; Body Art; Face Painting and Henna; Custom Tattoo Designs; Visionary Art; and Commissioned pieces manifest from the visions and dreams of her clients. Mystical Willow Productions is her company name. </span></blockquote>

<br />
<br />
Her work is deeply moving and spiritual and contains a lot of information on various levels. <br />
<br />
She has recently finished work on a children's book about the Armenian Genocide with a gentleman whose family survived the genocide. The title is, <i>The Last Diamonds</i>. The book is not out yet, but as soon as it is, I intend to buy a copy. In addition, she recently began an apprenticeship as a tattoo artist.<br />

This story has never been told by anyone, I am the first to tell it. The details of this family are more appropriate for a mature audience and so I separated the material into my other website/blog called www.hiddenhumanstory.com. My lastest book, <i>House of Zeus</i>, tells their story in a way that is easy to understand.<br />
<br />
Occasionally, the material from that research may be able to be posted on this site. I've formulated what I call, <i>The Mythological Unification Theor</i>y, based on my research which states that this family that I term, the <i>Cronides</i>, traveled the world and became the gods/goddesses of every pantheon across the world and they are also encoded in all Abrahamic religions. As research becomes available that requires me to make adjustments to my pantheon equivalents tables, I will do so. For now, I will share some of this information through some of the graphics I have created.<br />

Some portray the trident as having a mystical power that could emit some sort of electronic or laser ray to destroy an enemy. More than likely, that trident was used to catch fish, garden, and defend oneself with.</div>

It is not uncanny that the Greek letter Psi looks like a trident or Sai and is pronounced the same. This is because this tool probably originated out of Tyre, Crete, and Greece and was introduced to the rest of the world during the Cronide travels. Many of these symbols probably originated out of ancient Tyre and were similar to Hieroglyphics in that they represented a physical object or concept.</div>

As far as the language of Hebrew goes, it is very similar and probably came from ancient Phoenician. There is a professor who also says that Hebrew is ancient Greek with a slight variation.</div>

To me this is nothing new. Through my research, I have shown that the Cronides travelled the world and spawned many bloodlines. The secret of the trident is that it was used as a gardening tool, a fishing tool, and later as a weapon and it was this such tool that was introduced to the world by the Cronides, along with many other tools for agriculture.</div>

I usually don’t like to cook, but throughout life, I’ve found four simple cookbooks that have simple recipes that are easy to make and can be made by children or adults. Both men and women should learn how to cook and be as independent as they can. Here are the book names:</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.625px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Clara’s Kitchen is interesting because she tells the story of surviving during the Depression and how simple recipes were used.</div>

She was able to have chickens at that time on her property and used a lot of egg, pasta, and vegetables. The Depression Era Recipe book had an interesting recipe for slumgullion and the Betty Crocker Cook Book has a lot of good recipes for kids and adults to try.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.625px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
During the Depression, many people had simple vegetable gardens and chickens. They canned if they could, but they still had to buy wheat and grain products, milk, and meat products from the store. However, I think the knowledge of what they did during tough economic times is good to know.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.625px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Growing a backyard garden can be tough if you have animals and insects that eat your food. Dogs can be helpful to chase away rabbits and squirrels that will feed off of your food.</div>

I’ve also found some interesting recipes online. One including grilled zucchini that included slicing the zucchini into several wedges, salt and peppering them in a bag of olive oil and then grilling them until soft.</div>

<br />Per my research and in my<em> Hidden Human Story</em> books, I’ve calculated the time of Zeus and his children to be around 15,000 to 16,000 years ago per the writings of Diodorus Siculus and the writings of Manetho.<br />
<br />
Albert Pike specifically states in his book, <em>Morals and Dogma</em>, that the time of Dionysus-Osiris’ death was during the time the sun was in Scorpio which could be the Age of Scorpio which was about 17,000 to 19,000 years ago.<br />
<br />
His information comes from the Freemasonic Tracing board and rituals and symbols. This time period may also refer to the month of November, possibly, or earlier. It is hard to say, since the symbols are coded and Masons will lie to the profane. I will assume it was in the Age of Scorpio as this time period is close to mine.<br />
<br />
The Freemasonic Tracing board is used to mark time and to instruct the builder how to align the three column design into their buildings to constellations and solar equinoxes and solstices.<br />
<br /><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">
A Third Degree tracing board - public domain<br />
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracing_board#/media/File:Thirdtracing1.jpg</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
</div>
Per Wikipedia:<br />
<blockquote>
<b>Tracing boards</b> are painted or printed illustrations depicting the various <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emblem" title="Emblem">emblems</a>and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbols_of_Freemasonry" title="Symbols of Freemasonry">symbols of Freemasonry</a>. They can be used as teaching aids during the lectures that follow each of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masonic_Degrees" title="Masonic Degrees">Masonic Degrees</a>, when an experienced member explains the various concepts of Freemasonry to new members. They can also be used by experienced members as self-reminders of the concepts they learned as they went through their initiations.</blockquote>
<br />
So there you have it, the Freemasons have even allegedly recorded the time period of the death of Dionysus-Osiris which would be around the time shortly after the last global flood.<br />
<br />
<br />
Plutarch, an ancient Greek scholar, gives the time of the death of Osiris as the following:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
Such is the tradition. They say also that the date on which this deed was done was the seventeenth day of Athyr, when the sun passes through Scorpion, and in the twenty-eighth year of the reign of Osiris; but some say that these are the years of his life and not of his reign.</blockquote>
Plutarch, <em>Moralia</em> Volume V, Page 37.<br />
<br />
<br />
I believe he is referring to the age of Scorpio just as Albert Pike did. The vernal equinox varies as the Earth moves through its great cycle of about 26,000 years and the sun rises in a different constellation about every 2000 years. This is what determines the age. Some say the month of Athyr corresponds to our month of November. So it appears that his death was in the month of November during the Age of Scorpio.<br />
<br />
<br />
As I said in my book, <em>The Time Lords of Atlantis,</em> the constellations and the zodiac wheel is used to mark and tell time. The stars are the only thing, man cannot destroy.<br />
<br />
<br />
Per Wikipedia:<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
The Earth in its orbit around the<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun" title="Sun">Sun</a> causes the Sun to appear on the celestial sphere moving over the<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecliptic" title="Ecliptic">ecliptic</a> (red), which is tilted with respect to the equator (blue-white).<br />
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zodiac#/media/File:Ecliptic_path.jpg</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<blockquote>
In both <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology" title="Astrology">astrology</a> and historical <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomy" title="Astronomy">astronomy</a>, the <b>zodiac</b> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greek" title="Ancient Greek">Greek</a>: ζῳδιακός, <i>zōidiakos</i>) is a circle of twelve 30° divisions of celestial longitude that are centered upon the<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecliptic" title="Ecliptic">ecliptic</a>: the apparent path of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun" title="Sun">Sun</a> across the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_sphere" title="Celestial sphere">celestial sphere</a> over the course of the year. The paths of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon" title="Moon">Moon</a> and visible <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet" title="Planet">planets</a> also remain close to the ecliptic, within the belt of the zodiac, which extends 8-9° north or south of the ecliptic, as measured in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_latitude" title="Celestial latitude">celestial latitude</a>. Because the divisions are regular, they do not correspond exactly to the twelve <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellations" title="Constellations">constellations</a> after which they are named.<br />
<br />
Historically, these twelve divisions are called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrological_sign" title="Astrological sign">signs</a>. Essentially, the zodiac is a<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_coordinate_system" title="Celestial coordinate system">celestial coordinate system</a>, or more specifically an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecliptic_coordinate_system" title="Ecliptic coordinate system">ecliptic coordinate system</a>, which takes the ecliptic as the origin of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_latitude" title="Celestial latitude">latitude</a>, and the position of the sun at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernal_equinox" title="Vernal equinox">vernal equinox</a> as the origin of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_longitude" title="Celestial longitude">longitude</a>.<br />
<br /></blockquote>
So the key in the Great Cycle is the vernal equinox. The key that I am looking for next, is a key that tells me how many Great Cycles have passed when a star date is given.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now the movie Stargate has this as its mode to travel through time:<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
In case you haven’t noticed what this represents, here you go:<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aion_(deity)" title="Aion (deity)">ion</a>-Uranus with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_(mythology)" title="Terra (mythology)">Terra</a> (Greek <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_(mythology)" title="Gaia (mythology)">Gaia</a>) on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic" title="Mosaic">mosaic</a> - public domain<br />

<br />
<br />
This is how they tell time and travel through it to figure out when things happened and it is part of the code that the elites and priest craft hides from the public.<br />
<br />
<br />
For those of you following my work, you know that I have found written evidence as well as comparative evidence that the ancient family of the Cronides travelled the world to civilize it. I’ve asked to present my evidence on national television and other radio shows but none will touch my work.<br />
<br />
<br />
What I found in the desert of Nevada may be the proof that the Cronides travelled to the Americas. Their ships would have been similar to Phoenician ships and I theorize based on ancient writings that they travelled around 15,000 to 16,000 years ago. Albert Pike states that Dionysus-Osiris died during the time the Sun was in Scorpio which may mean the Age of Scorpio. Some people have calculated this age as far back as:<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><em><strong>Age of Scorpio</strong></em></b><strong> (16,759 to 14,773 BCE or 18,759 to 16,773 years ago)</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
My date calculations are close to this Age of Scorpio. But it is what I found in the Nevada desert, that I’ve tried to present on a national level, that is possibly the proof of their travels. At one location, I found petroglyphs that may include a Scorpion above what appears to be a Phoenician ship:<br />
<br /><br />
And I’ve also found letters at another site in Nevada that appear to be of Phoenician origin or a derivative.<br />

I've always liked to write, but I never did it as a profession to pay the bills. I started to get serious about my writing in my late twenties when I began to write screenplays. I wrote six of them and had one of them optioned twice by the same producer who went to bat for me and tried to get the project funded. Unfortunately, she was not able to do so and after writing six screenplays with a couple more ideas in my mind and flying to California to try and sell them, I was despondent about the whole Hollywood movie writing process and industry.<br />
<br />
<br />
Everyone kept saying you have to know someone or live in Los Angeles to sell your screenplays. I didn't believe them and kept plugging away and like I said I was able to get one of them optioned. After years of trying to crack the Hollywood market, I just moved on because there was much more to write.
<br />
<br />
<br />
This time, I decided to write books. I did a lot of research and took some classes and began to write my children's series. I went out to New York and acquired an agent, but this agent didn't help me get the project off the ground but instead wanted to charge me for editing fees which is a big no-no. After almost a year of wasted time with this person, I decided to take my plunge into the world of self-publishing. <br />
<br />
<br />
When I first started, there was a limited number of self-publishing companies and many of them not only wanted you to pay for the publishing process, but wanted to have ownership of your copyrighted material for a certain amount of time which is ridiculous.
I finally found a company that did not do this but only asked for startup costs. I began self-publishing my first book back in 2010. In addition to the creative process, I had to wear the marketing and business hats as well and become my own company. I hired a graphic artist for the covers and had to figure out how to market my books.
<br />
<br />
<br />
First I went to local craft fairs where I received a pleasant reception. Then I was invited to school craft sales, library shows, library talks, book fairs, and finally I had to set up my internet platform. Now it is 4 1/2 years later, and I've seen so many changes in the self-publishing industry.
Luckily, I found Createspace and have thus far been happy with them. I'm mastering the internet platform including blogging, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Pinterest, and Goodreads. And oh yes, I tried to get independent people to review one of my books and found one that would do it. I've guest blogged, had a couple of newspaper articles written about me, and am still hoping to present my material on a national platform at some point down the road.
It's been a long road, but it's been worth it. <br />
<br />
<br />
Writing is a passion. We all wish we can be the next big selling author, but it's a hard thing to accomplish. Seeing your fan base grow is still a pretty good feeling. Self-publishing has gotten cheaper and more efficient. I still have plenty of ideas in my head that have yet to be brought to life on the pages of a book and brought to my internet platform. Self-publishing has given me that freedom and who knows where things will go down the road and even when I'm dead and gone. What I've written stays for future generations as long as people still love to read and write and books aren't burnt or destroyed by the hands of a few.

</div>
<div class="entry-content">
I took a haunted tour last night in Elmhurst, Illinois. It was put on by a team of investigators including a retired policeman. The team investigated 7 sites within blocks said to be haunted in Elmhurst. What was interesting was the method of research used. The police officer used his detective skills to research the area and investigate paranormal reports while his partners used paranormal research methods and tools to investigate the reported paranormal activity. At one site (the cemetery) a picture was taken that showed a blue light on one of the tombstones. Many thought the light was paranormal, but upon further investigation, the light was a refection from a blue light in the parking lot across the street.<br />
<br />
<br />
The tour guide (Ray Johnson) was very knowledgeable of the history of the area and even had photographs for us to look at the sites. His other 2 partners investigated the sites with the standard paranormal methods and tools and were able to capture several EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) at the sites of which they presented in a slide show after the tour.<br />
<br />
<br />
The tour was at night and included about 2 hours of walking outdoors. I would recommend bringing the tour map with you as you will have to walk back to your car (several blocks away at the starting point of the tour) at the end so pay attention to your location. At the end of the tour, there are several restaurants in the middle of town that you may want to dine at. You can also park your car near the end of the tour and walk to the starting point if you so chose. Here are some photographs from the tour:<br /><br /><br />
<br />
With this said, I have done some of my own paranormal investigations as well as doing strictly historical and archaeological investigations. The idea of adding some EVP testing at the end is something I will probably try to incorporate in future investigations. Here are four videos of my investigations, two of which did have some paranormal phenomenon present. The Cuba road has a lower volume for the first several minutes and then the volume increased due to differences in microphones. The cemetery on Cuba Road did have some white lights in the pictures I took. The Princess Mound in Wisconsin, is where I experienced the paranormal activity. I have learned from this tour and I don’t know of anyone who has ever gone to very ancient sites/mythological sites and tried to conduct paranormal research but rather they strictly tried to use basic research methods for the area all though I have seen some photographs inside the Egyptian pyramids that have orbs in them.<br />

Kesu Kalan and Miskin,<br />
"Lord Krishna in the Golden City"<br />
(Dwaraka), from the <i><a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harivamsha" title="Harivamsha">Harivamsha</a></i>, ca. 1600, during <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akbar" title="Akbar">Akbar</a>'s reign. <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freer_Gallery" title="Freer Gallery">Freer Gallery</a> - public domain<br />

<br />
<br />
There are many sacred texts in Hinduism. Initially, there are the Vedas and there are 4 of them. The Rig Veda is the most important. The Rig Veda is a collection of hymns to various gods. The other Vedas contain hymns, chants, and lists of sacrifices. Most Vedas were read by priests all though some of the Vedas were composed by women. Today, the Vedas are in print and available to the world.<br />
<br />
The Vedic gods are not usually worshipped in today's Hinduism, all though I believe they are the same gods as the gods of Hinduism, today but with different names. Indra is the equivalent of the Greek Zeus and has a lightning bolt as his weapon.<br />
<br />
The Upanishads are considered the philosophical portions of the Vedas.<br />
<br />
The Greeks have their epic poems of the <i>Iliad</i> and the <i>Odyssey</i> and the Hindus have two of their own epic poems called the <i>Ramayana</i> and the <i>Mahabharata</i>. The Ramayana tells the tale of Rama and Sita, a husband and wife, and the mission of Rama to find his kidnapped wife Sita, who was taken by an evil king of Lanka (today's Sri Lanka). The Mahabharata tells the tale of cousins fighting each other for the throne. The five good Pandava brothers must fight their evil 100 Kaurava cousins. The counselor to the Pandavas, gets the aid of Krishna while the counselor to the Kauravas gets the horses, elephants and weapons of Krishna. Krishna would not take sides but counsels Arjuna (counselor to the Pandavas) that good men must not let bad men win and take over even if some must die.<br />
<br />
The Bhagavad Gita summaries the conversation between Krishna and Arjuna and is a favorite amongst Hindus.<br />
<br />
Lastly, the Puranas are considered the average person's Vedas and there are 18 of them. They help Hindus learn more about their gods/goddesses.<br />
<br />
Hindus believe that time is cyclical and they believe in reincarnation and the concepts of Karma and Dharma. I will talk a bit more about the Hindu fundamentals, but for now I want to dive into the comparisons of the ancient Hindu Gods to the Cronides. <br />
<br />
Krishna is the equivalent to the Greek Dionysus and Egyptian Osiris (and all his other names). He had a kingdom in Dwarka. It is underwater today, but has been found.<br />

Two 'gate spells'. On the top register, Ani and his wife face the 'seven gates of the House of Osiris'. Below, they encounter ten of the 21 'mysterious portals of the House of Osiris in the Field of Reeds'. All are guarded by unpleasant protectors. - public domain<br />

I often wonder if descriptions of this gated city in the afterworld are just descriptions of the gated city or cities that Dionysus-Osiris lived in while he was alive and it appears that Dwarka was a gated city or city of gates. It appears that Dwarka has been found under the water.<br />

The Indian people are as old as can be and were considered to be autochtones to the area per Greek scholars (I will post some excerpts in later blog articles). The Aryans were a different people who came in and invaded the lands of India (as it is called today) and with their invasions came the creation of a caste system. The caste system was based on color and the top caste were called the Brahmins. The Brahmins were the ones allowed to perform the rituals necessary for the Hindu gods/goddesses. The next caste was the warrior caste called the Kshatriyas. Then came the farmer and trade caste called the Vaishyas and then finally the lowest caste used for menial work called the Shudras. The history of the Indian people is complex and has been addressed in <i>The Library Kids</i> series. <br />
<br />
The gods/goddesses of the Hindus are many, but the main systems of worship include Shaivism and Vaishnavism. The worship of goddesses is included as well with Kali having her own priests.<br />
The gods had enemies as well just as the Cronides had the Titans as enemies. What is most interesting is the mention of nectar of the gods/goddesses which is similar to the Greek concept of Ambrosia of the Gods. In my opinion, this drink is alcohol of which they invented and perfected.<br />
<br />
The stories of these ancient Hindu gods/goddesses are included in the Puranas, Vedas, and epic poems including the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.<br />
<br />
Vishnu is considered the preserver whereas Shiva is considered the destroyer. Brahma is the father god. In my opinion all three represent Zeus as does Indra. The sons of Shiva include Ganesh and Kartikeya. Ganesh was the God of Writing just as was Hermes (a son of Zeus) and Kartikeya is the god of war as Ares was the god of war (son of Zeus).<br />
<br />
The symbolism of Shiva includes many things including a third eye (similar to the eye of Odin used to gain knowledge), the bull (as Zeus), the lingam and yoni (Zeus had many lovers), and the serpent (Zeus was also associated with a serpent).<br />

Krisha was the equivalent of the Greek Dionysus-Osiris. He was shown as a child and an adult just as Dionysus was (see my work on Zagreus). Krishna was said to mesmerize the milkmaids which is similar to the cult of Dionysus which consisted of female Maenads and Satyrs and revolved around alcohol and dancing.<br />

Krishna also had a foster mother named Yahsoda just as Dionysus had Rhea since his mother Semele had died. Krishna was killed by a poison arrow just as the Nordic equivalent of Dionysus, named Balder, was killed by an arrow made of mistletoe.<br />

Kali was the war goddess and Shiva was the only one able to stop her. This sounds like Athena, all though the Greek goddess of war and crafts was much more refined in her approach to war. Saraswati is a goddess of knowledge and the arts which is another aspect of Athena.<br />

Lalita is the Hindu goddess of love and is termed, "she who play" and would be the equivalent of the Greek Aphrodite.<br />

Lastly, all of the gods had a feminine aspect to them. As I begin to discover more similarities between the Hindu gods/goddesses and the Cronides, I will post it on this blog. For now, I'd like to move into the sacred Hindu texts at this point.<br />

Tommy was a slang term for a British soldier, particularly during World War I. The Germans used to call out to Tommy during the world war. The origin of the term is debated. The term was used by Alice Bailey to refer to the British soldiers that occupied India during the early 20th century. Per Wikipedia:</div>

I intend to show through ancient Hindu mythology and writings, that the Hindu gods/goddesses are the same as the Greek-Egyptian Gods and are the same as the Cronides. To start off, I will give a brief chart of which god/goddess corresponds to which god/goddess in Greek mythology. There are various forms of Hinduism as well and I will try my best to explain the differences. The writings from ancient Greek Scholars such as Nonnos and his Dionysiaca tell the story of the interaction of the ancient Cronides with the Indian people who were considered autochthones to the area. The main Indian character named King Deriades will be explored further in this blog as the Indians considered themselves to be children of the River and King Deriades would not submit to Dionysus but was instead killed after years of war with Dionysus and his army. The number of Hindu gods/goddesses are said to be in the millions, but it is their main gods/goddesses that I will concentrate on. Here are a few of the equivalents:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Zeus- Indra, Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma, Pashupati<br />
<br />
Hera - Lakshmi<br />
<br />
Dionysus - Krishna<br />
<br />
Kali - Athena<br />
<br />
Agni - Prometheus<br />
<br />
Ganesh - Hermes<br />
<br />
Pavarti - Demeter<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In addition to these main gods/goddesses, they often have various other incarnations which almost appear to be different aspects of the same being or perhaps hints at reincarnation in some cases.<br />

Ogham is an ancient Celtic method of writing that has various legends associated with it. Per Wikipedia:<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">

According to the Auraicept, Fenius journeyed from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scythia" title="Scythia">Scythia</a> together with Goídel mac Ethéoir, Íar mac Nema and a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinue" title="Retinue">retinue</a> of 72 scholars.

Finding that they had already been dispersed, Fenius sent his scholars to study them, staying at the tower, co-ordinating the effort. After ten years, the investigations were complete, and Fenius created <i>in Bérla tóbaide</i> "the selected language", taking the best of each of the confused tongues, which he called <i>Goídelc</i>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goidelic" title="Goidelic">Goidelic</a>, after Goídel mac Ethéoir. He also created extensions of <i>Goídelc</i>, called <i>Bérla Féne</i>, after himself, <i>Íarmberla</i>, after Íar mac Nema, and others, and the <i>Beithe-luis-nuin</i> (the ogham) as a perfected <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writing_system" title="Writing system">writing system</a> for his languages. The names he gave to the letters were those of his 25 best scholars.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Alternatively, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Lebor_Ogaim" title="In Lebor Ogaim">Ogam Tract</a> credits <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogma" title="Ogma">Ogma mac Elathan</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogmios" title="Ogmios">Ogmios</a>) with the script's invention.

The first message written in Ogam were seven <i>b'</i>s on a birch, sent as a warning to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lugh" title="Lugh">Lug mac Elathan</a>, meaning: "your wife will be carried away seven times to the otherworld unless the birch protects her". For this reason, the letter <i>b</i> is said to be named after the birch, and <i>In Lebor Ogaim</i> goes on to tell the tradition that all letters were named after trees, a claim also referred to by the Auraicept as an alternative to the naming after Fenius' disciples.</blockquote>

Ogham is sometimes called the "Celtic Tree Alphabet", based on a high medieval <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br%C3%ADatharogam" title="Bríatharogam">Bríatharogam</a></i> tradition ascribing names of trees to the individual letters.

The Fenian cycle describes the exploits of the hero giant named Fionn Mac Cumhaill and his warriors from Fianna. It is the 3rd Cycle of the four major Irish Cycles. Fionn is famous for his outwitting of another giant by pretending to be his own baby.<br />

The Fianna were a coalition of clans, for the protection of the kingdom, brought together by Cormac mac Art. A man named Cumhal leads the clan. He is killed and the treasure of the clan is stolen after the Battle of Knock. Cumhal's wife, Muirne escapes and has a son named Demna who is later renamed Fionn because of his fair hair. When he is grown he takes revenge on those who killed his father and recovers the clan's treasure bag and becomes a clan leader.<br />

<br />
The Ulster Cycle (also known as the Red Branch Cycle) is the 2nd of the four great cycles of Irish Celtic history. It revolves around the heroes of the Ulaid which is now part of Easter Ulster and northern Leinster in Ireland and is said to have occurred around the 1st century AD.<br />
<br />
The stories are set around the reign of King Conchobar mac Nessa, who rules Ulaid from Emain Macha. The most talked about hero is the nephew of King Conchobar, Cu Chulainn who is also known as <b>Cúchulainn. </b>The people of Ulaid are in conflict with the people of Connachta which are lead by their Queen Medb and her husband Ailill.<br />
<br />
<br />
The parentage of Cuchulainn is rather strange. It is said that he is the son of the long gone god Lug (Greek Apollo) who appears to him in a vision later in life when he is injured. Per wikipedia (and also described in Celtic mythology):<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
There are a number of versions of the story of Cú Chulainn's birth. In the earliest version of <i>Compert C(h)on Culainn</i> ("The Conception of Cú Chulainn"), his mother <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deichtine" title="Deichtine">Deichtine</a> is the daughter and charioteer of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conchobar_mac_Nessa" title="Conchobar mac Nessa">Conchobar mac Nessa</a>,
king of Ulster, and accompanies him as he and the nobles of Ulster hunt
a flock of magical birds. Snow falls, and the Ulstermen seek shelter,
finding a house where they are made welcome. Their host's wife goes into
labour, and Deichtine assists at the birth of a baby boy. A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mare" title="Mare">mare</a> gives birth to two <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_%28horse%29" title="Colt (horse)">colts</a> at the same time. The next morning, the Ulstermen find themselves at the <i>Brug na Bóinde</i> (the Neolithic mound at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newgrange" title="Newgrange">Newgrange</a>)—the
house and its occupants have disappeared, but the child and the colts
remain. Deichtine takes the boy home and raises him to early childhood,
but he falls sick and dies. The god <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lugh" title="Lugh">Lug</a>
appears to her and tells her he was their host that night, and that he
has put his child in her womb, who is to be called Sétanta. Her
pregnancy is a scandal as she is betrothed to <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sualtam" title="Sualtam">Sualtam</a>
mac Róich, and the Ulstermen suspect Conchobar of being the father, so
she aborts the child and goes to her husband's bed "virgin-whole". She
then conceives a son whom she names Sétanta.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-9"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%BA_Chulainn#cite_note-9">[9]</a></sup></blockquote>
