Decline of the Goddess (47 posts)

Social Thread
As male dominance in society pushed it's way into religion, the Goddess was pushed to the background. She who had been so important before, now came second to Her male counterpart. On this thread we will explore the change from Matriarch to Patriarch in ancient religions.

The Psyche - Nostradamus (45 posts)

Social Thread
Born in the early 16th century, Nostradamus has become one of the world's most widely known and read psychics. His cryptic quatrains are said to conceal information about future events. He completed a total of 942 quatrains which he organized into Centuries. Are Nostradamus' predictions real or have we, in our need to know the future, only made them fit?

Lost People: Jack the Ripper (35 posts)

Social Thread
Jack the Ripper! Few names in history are as instantly recognizable. Fewer still evoke such vivid images: noisome courts and alleys, hansom cabs and gaslights, swirling fog, prostitutes decked out in the tawdriest of finery, the shrill cry of newsboys - and silent, cruel death personified in the cape-shrouded figure of a faceless prowler of the night, armed with a long knife and carrying a black Gladstone bag.

The Psyche - Oracles (21 posts)

Social Thread
Psychic phenomenon is not a new-age conviction. If you look at the first civilization, you will find that they had ways to tell the future. If you go forward in history, you find women and men who foretold the future, as the Oracle of Delphi was reported to do. Is there any truth behind these people, or is it the result of an overactive and devious imagination?
