Magical Femininity: Womanly Creatures That Kick Ass

Magical Femininity: Womanly Creatures That Kick Ass

Some people seem to think that the numerous patriarchal and patrilineal societies try to keep their structures in place by ignoring women. However, all throughout traditional mythology and legends there have been “special” creatures that embrace the feminine sex as their only gender-based form. These magical beings may take on the negative aspects of womanhood as viewed by men or adapt certain scary or intimidating creatures into their feminine physique, but the fact remains solid that the special women had a very strong hold over the mystical and paranormal. They may be mean. They may be strange. They may be downright weird or even frightening. Yet, their female power puts these beings in a special category unto themselves where they are powerful women in a male ruled magical, supernatural world.

Ancient Alien Encounters

Ancient Alien Encounters

Some people like to say that alien encounters are a recent phenomenon that are based off of the popularity of science fiction novels, television shows, and movies and the rumor of a crash landed UFO in Roswell, New Mexico during the 1940s which sent the world into an “Alien Age” where everyone became obsessed with extraterrestrials and UFOs. Many individuals like to simply shrug away these encounter stories as people who are seeking attention or are merely having intense dreams with images supplied by science fiction characteristics and concepts. Yet, these nay sayers clearly have not done their research. There are many accounts of UFOs and alien meetings in historic human records (indirectly described of course since these ancient did not exactly understand what they were seeing) that reach all the way back to the ancient Egyptian heyday from the fourteenth century BCE. The reports do not stop there. All through write ups and records in Europe there are some stories that definitely seem like alien convergences with random humans of the past.

Atlantis: Lost or Found?

Atlantis: Lost or Found?

The lost continent known as Atlantis has captured imaginations all over the world since its story has spread. An ancient civilization that apparently was far ahead of its time and more advanced than we imagined could be possible at that point in history. This amazing place of technological wonders for its time was apparently wiped off the face of the earth, leaving the world in a fog of mystery over its disappearance and the absence of all its levels of advancement over the rest of the ancient world who had to start over from scratch. Even though our modern world has caught back up and even exceeded the unique elements of Atlantis, we are still curious to see if this place actually existed and if it was truly as advanced as the ancient stories. Several schools of thought have been formulated about the possible location of the lost continent with each place having its own positive elements and drawbacks for the Atlantis theory and with many archaeologists and researchers going out into the field and diligently searching for evidence of this amazing city.
