The gods see it fit to make me care for old folks at this stage of my life. I have my little granddaughter under my care because I watch her for my daughter so she can work, but at the same time I have an elderly relative living at home with me who I care for and I also work for an assistant living facility where old folks reside.
My toddler granddaughter running around me while I’m caring for my older relative makes evident the circle of life.
Modern existence is all wrong for us, because we give our young into the care of the state (daycares/public schools) and we also give our old to the care of state (old folks homes) instead of how it use to be where everyone is together at home all stages of life the young and the old.
Back in the olden days our ancestors kept the whole family whole and at home, where the old folks and the babies and young children were living together, eating together communing and getting to know one another. The older folks could pass their knowledge to the children

The gods are clever with their teachings, because they’ve placed me near old folks at this point in my life, to teach me about ancestry.
The gods tell me if I care to understand the importance ancestry, I should start with the old folks in my own family, because one’s own ancestry starts with one’s own living elders.
And our family’s living elders have knowledge and history to pass to us, they have tales to tell us

Their experience in crossing rivers surpasses that of all other men, and they are extremely good at spending a lot of time in the water. Often enough when they are in their own country and are caught by surprise and in a tight spot, they dive to the bottom of a body of water. There they take long, hollow reeds they have prepared for such a situation and hold them in their mouths, the reeds extending to the surface of the water. Lying on their backs on the bottom they breathe through them and hold out for many hours without anyone suspecting where they are. An inexperienced person who notices the reeds from above would simply think they were growing there in the water.

Their women are more sensitive than any others in the world. When, for example, their husband dies, many look upon it as their own death and freely smother themselves, not wanting to continue their lives as widows.

The light-haired races place great value on freedom. They are bold and undaunted in battle. Daring and impetuous as they are, they consider any timidity and even a short retreat as a disgrace. They calmly despise death as they fight violently in hand-to-hand combat either on horseback or on foot. If they are hard pressed in cavalry actions, they dismount at a single prearranged sign and line up on foot. Although only a few against many horsemen, they do not shrink from the fight.

A highly educated individual might laugh at such notion, a proposition that in our distant past, the gods have physically interacted with life on earth, including human beings, but that’s only because a highly educated man deludes himself into believing that his higher academic education has answered all questions for him, solved all the mysteries and gave him full knowledge of reality, ancient history and origins.
The truth is that although academic education has a lot of information to offer, when it comes to the deeper, bigger questions such as gods, ancient history, origins of life, consciousness, origins of human races, etc… Academia doesn’t actually have any answers based on solid evidence, direct experience or observation.
Those deep big questions academia answers with scientific theories, models, and hypotheses, some of which have already been proven wrong overtime as new evidence came in.
We cannot assume to know everything about the ancient past based on our knowledge of the present times. The ancient world was very different from our own. For one, our ancient ancestors were a whole lot more in-tuned with their natural wild environment than we are today.
Our ancestors lived in a different world, because they were not surrounded by technology, artificial lights, all kinds of technological gadgets, and the conveniences and also the damages of modern extreme urbanization.
I have come across countless stories about urbanites traveling deep in the wilderness, and when they get far away from civilization/urbanization, things start to become very strange. Many of them go missing under suspicious circumstances. The missing 411 channel covers these unexplained disappearances in national parks.
What I’m saying is that the deeper you go into the wilderness, the more magical your surroundings become

Homeric gods are indeed “physical” entities, which explains their physical descriptions and physical interventions, including sexual intercourse with humans (a hero, by definition, must have one divine parent), and not mental processes or useful poetic conventions as some suggest.

In his animism book, Graham Harvey notes that in the Ojibwe language, things which bestow wisdom and blessings are given the title of “grandfather”, which includes people, spirits, gods, and even stories.
Interestingly enough, as per the Rígsþula, the name Edda means great grandmother.

On 'tea' vs. 'chai'
Tea and chai - two words for one plant, Camellia sinensis, yet they carry the weight of continents.
Both spring from the Chinese symbol 茶, but their paths split like tribes on the move.
Tea comes from the Min Nan tê, carried by Dutch ships from Fujian’s shores to Europe’s courts. By 1610, it was thee in Dutch, then tea in English. Trading partners adopted the term, like the German Tee.
Chai, born from Mandarin chá, took the Silk Road west by continental traders. Through Persia’s chay to India’s streets, it became a spiced, milky brew. The entire Slavic world traded the plant this way, adopting the term.
Sip and know your history!

Some folk medicine is common knowledge within a society, and can
be performed by almost anyone. However, home remedies do not always result in a cure. Specialized members of the community may then be called upon. The skills of such specialists may be attributed to their greater experience and knowledge, but often also to their talent or innate powers. A Wise Man or Wise Woman is endowed with an especial rapport with the spiritual world. He or she can communicate with that world and pacify the spirits, thereby restoring health and equilibrium to the society.

They have not advertised their services and are reluctant to share their incantations and rituals. This kind of reticence was encountered among the healers interviewed for this study. One healer said that he could not share his incantation with anyone lest he should lose his power to heal. He threatened the researcher with spells if she tried to harm him or his powers. Another healer said that if she told anyone her incantations, she would lose her powers. She said that when she was ready to retire she would pass on her incantations.

In some senses, the folk healer is both a medical and spiritual healer. The relationship between official religion and folk healing is similar to the relationship between official medicine and folk healing. Even if many members of the laity have respected the folk healers, leaders of the Christian churches have generally been intolerant of other perceptions of the spiritual world. Folk healers have been officially seen as insubordinate to Christian teachings. In attempts to banish people's links with paganism, churchmen canvassed against wizards and witches and others who were believed to be engaged in magic.
