The ten-part Traveler Saga in the Veluna region of Living Greyhawk dealt with Marduk's attempt to get revenge on former adventurers who had defeated him before the Greyhawk Wars. The least powerful of the adventurers was resurrected, interrogated, and subjected to memory modification to conceal the plan by Marduk's Unholy Trio (a medusa, a lich, and a human cleric.) A man calling himself "The Butterfly" triggered disasters in the country of Veluna in an effort to locate either the original adventurers, ...

The title means "When above." (Sumerian and Akkadian works were typically referred to by their first few words.) The epic names three primeval gods: Apsu, the fresh water, Tiamat, the salt water, and their son Mummu, apparently the mist. Several other gods are created, and raise such a clamor of noise that Apsu is provoked (with Mummu's connivance) to destroy them. Ea (Nudimmud), at the time the most powerful of the gods, intercepts the plan, puts Apsu to sleep and kills him, and shuts Mummu out. Ea then begets a ...

Sabbatai's conversion was extremely disheartening for the Jewish communities. Prominent rabbis who were believers in and followers of Sabbatai were prostrated with shame. Among the masses of the people the greatest confusion reigned. In addition to the misery and disappointment from within, Muslims and Christians jeered at and scorned the credulous and duped Jews. The sultan even planned to exterminate all the adult Jews in his empire and to decree that all Jewish children should be brought up in Islam, also that fifty prominent rabbis shoul ...

Marduk is the name of a Black Metal band from Sweden. In the "Stimutacs" episode of Sealab 2021, Stormy claims to be inhabited by "Marduk, son of Ea, slayer of Tiamat."

There are some reasons for believing that the oldest seat, and possibly the original seat, of the Anu cult was in Uruk, as that is where the earliest records show Inanna, Ishtar's Sumerian counterpart, had her most prominent cult centre. Anu remained more or less of an abstraction during the various periods of the Babylonian-Assyrian religion, and took little part in the active cult of the temples. Associated with Anu was a pale reflection, a consort, Antum, perhaps assigned to him under the influence of the widely prevalen ...

The evangelical minister Ralph Woodrow made the case in his book "Babylon Mystery Religion" that Roman Catholicism was a syncretic religion that had evolved from pagan Babylon. Mr. Woodrows ideas had been developed from even earlier tracts by 19th Century Scottish Minister Alexandar Hislop, most notably, his '"The Two Babylons". Woodrow's modern writing style had caused his book (and Hislops theories) to bec ...

Heller was brought up by his grandfather, Moses Heller, chief rabbi of the German communities. He was sent to Friedburg, where he studied under Jacob Günzburg. Thence he was invited to Prague by a rich merchant, Aaron Ashkenazi, who later became his father-in-law. There he studied under Judah Löw ben Bezaleel, head of the yeshiva of Prague.

By the Victorian era, the solar-phallic ideas of Payne Knight along with the less risqué work of scholars like Max Müller had taken strange turns as they made their way into popular discourse. Groups like the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn were using scholarly parallels between Christ, Osiris and other putative solar dying-and-rising gods to build up elaborate systems of mysticism and theosophy. By the twentieth century, this spiritualized turn to the universal-dying-god hypothesis had made its way into the sunlit uplands of acad ...

In the language of the early Christians the mysteries were those religious teachings that were carefully guarded from the knowledge of the profane. An example is the Secret Gospel of Mark, which was preserved from profane view in Alexandria, and is now known only through chance references in a letter of Clement of Alexandria. The "sayings" Gospel of Thomas expresses mysteries that were confided by Jesus to Thomas alone, according to the manuscript, and the traditions of early Christian Gnosticism were based ...

During his lifetime, Rebbe Nachman spoke of a "Song of Redemption" that would be revealed before the coming of the Jewish Messiah. This song would be in a "single, double, triple, quadruple" form. (Likutei Moharan II, #8). The Na Nach Nachma phrase has such a structure (keeping in mind that Hebrew often omits the vowels): Na (one Hebrew letter: Nun) -- ×  NaCH (Two Hebrew letters: Nun-Chet) -- × ×— NaCHMa (Three Hebrew letters: ...

Whatever the origins of this mantra, it is now very popular among some groups of Breslover Hasidim, and has been incorporated into both traditional and contemporary Jewish music. During the millennium fervor before the Year 2000, the Na Nach Nachma was widely distributed and publicized in Israel, appearing on bumper stickers, billboards, graffiti, etc. It has also been used on jewelery and amulets.

Based on the texts first found, it was assumed that Ishtar/Inana's descent into Kur occurred after the death of Tammuz/Dumuzid rather than before and that her purpose was to rescue Tammuz/Dumuzid. This is the familiar form of the myth as it appeared in M. Jastrow's "Descent of the Goddess Ishtar into the Lower World", 1915, widely available on the Internet. Though new texts uncovered in 1963 filled in the story in quite another fashion, the old interpretation still lingers on. Aside from the extended epic "The Descent of Inanna," a previousl ...
