Eros began as a force older than the gods, Kamadeva as the first seed of mind. Somewhere along the way both became boys with bows, and nobody has explained why the wound still feels like it comes from outside.
Daedalus built the wings, warned his son, watched him fall, and flew safely to Sicily. He succeeded at everything Icarus failed at. The myth does not remember him.
Ganesha removes obstacles. Ganesha places them. The same deity, the same tradition, the same prayer. This is not a contradiction. It may be the most honest theology ever written about the nature of difficulty.
Putana came to kill Krishna with poisoned milk. He killed her instead. Then he gave her the status of a mother. The Mahabharata is not confused about this. It is making its hardest argument.
A memoir of love, religious identity and Islamophobia, exploring how a Muslim name can become a category and a person can disappear behind it.
Why did ancient Greece fear Artemis? The goddess of the hunt symbolized female autonomy beyond marriage, power, and social control.
