Usha was a city in the Western part of Galilee. It is noteworthy because in the 2nd Century (c. 135), the Sanhedrin, or rabbinic court, was moved from Jabneh in Judea to Usha, and then from Usha back to Jabneh, and a second time from Jabneh to Usha.
The final settlement in Usha indicates the ultimate spiritual supremacy of Galilee over Judea, the latter having become depopulated by the war of Hadrian. Usha was also important because one of the pupils of Rabbi Akiba resided there, including Judah ...

Asura - In Hinduism.
In Hindu mythology, the Asura (Sanskrit: असुर) are a group of power-seeking deities, sometimes misleadingly referred to as demons. They were opposed to the devas. Both groups are children of Kasyapa. The name is cognate to Ahura and Æsir, which implies a common Proto-Indo-European origin for the Asura and the Æsir.
The negative character of the asura in Hinduism seems to have evolved over time. In general, the earliest texts have the asuras presiding over moral and soc ...

The sky father is a recurring theme in pagan and neopagan mythology. The sky father is the complement of the earth mother and appears in some creation myths, many of which are European or ancient Near Eastern.

A sky father also relates to a solar deity, a god identified with the sun.
In Maori mythology, Ranginui was the sky father. In this story, the sky father and earth moth ...
