“I permeate the earth and heaven, and all created entities with my greatness and dwell in them as eternal and infinite consciousness.”

This quote from Rigveda sums up the #NordicGreatGoddess. She may be abstract, but the process of initiation is real 💥

Embarrassed that my university's course on science fiction didn't include the Ramayana, Rigveda, Vera Historia, or Nihongi

Lar meg provosere av at NRK forteller at Karpes album ble "stadig med politiske med årene". Har dere hørt Kunsten å være inder eller? Identitet som dreper? Rigveda 10.90?

Searching within their hearts with the power of the mind,
poets found the bond of being within nonbeing.

Mithras had ancient Indo-Iranian roots, evolving from the ancient god Mithra (or Mitra) in Iran and the Hindu god Mitra. In India, Mitra was first mentioned in the Rigveda, composed c1500 -1100 BCE.

This Parthian plaque with a dedication to Mithra was made in Iran in the 1st-3rd century AD.

Estoy leyendo la preciosa poesía del Rigveda vestida de pijama. Me siento impura recibiendo estos himnos milenarios🥲

And how the earliest strata of that tradition descends from the RigVeda, which is very dense and obscure at times, but primarily hymns for fire sacrifices, and our tradition also begins with fire sacrifices.

If you want to have a really fascinating experience that will bring you closer to the human past, I strongly recommend reading early texts - Homer, the Rigveda, the Epic of Gilgamesh - under the influence of some kind of intoxicant, to really capture the vibe of the performance.

Vedic Sanskrit and Avestan are languages with some of the most fascinating texts in the world, the Rigveda and Gathas of Zarathustra.

Here's my attempt to tackle a long standing puzzle of how final fricatives developed there

Now published in the oldest journal of linguistics.

a lovely relic of the Indo-European idiom *ḱred-dʰeh₁- "put one's heart" = "believe", from before it became a single word (as in Latin crēdō < *cred-do):

Rigveda 2.12.5d
śrád asmai dhatta
heart 3MS.DAT put.2PL.IMP

"Believe in him (=Indra)!"

the pronoun asmai "to him" separates the two components!

Instead of Harry Potter in Latin, some actual literature that's been translated into our language: the Rigveda, the Upanishads, the Ramayana, the Analects, the Qur'an, the Divine Comedy, Don Quijote, the poetry of Goethe and Schiller
