In this episode, we examine the Minoan Brotherhood, a contemporary Pagan tradition that reinterprets Minoan religious symbolism through the lens of LGBTQ+ spirituality. Founded in the late 1970s by Eddie Buczynski, the Brotherhood emerged as a response to the heteronormativity of mainstream Wicca, creating a sacred framework that centres homoerotic relationships within a reconstructed mythological and ritual structure. Drawing on the Labrys (double-headed axe) as a key symbol, the Brotherhood blends Arthur Evans' reconstructions of Minoan religion with adapted Gardnerian Wiccan ceremonial practices, emphasizing the sacralization of erotic energy, graded initiatory rites, and the role of the Minos as a spiritual leader. We critically engage with both the historical inspirations and academic critiques surrounding the Brotherhood's theology, particularly the challenges of romanticized Minoan reconstructions in contemporary Pagan practice. The episode also situates the Brotherhood within LGBTQ+ religious history, considering its significance during the AIDS crisis, its intersections with feminist spirituality, and its broader role in modern queer identity formation within esoteric traditions. As a case study in myth-making, ritual adaptation, and cultural reclamation, the Minoan Brotherhood offers valuable insights into how marginalized communities engage with ancient religious frameworks to construct meaningful spiritual identities in the present.

Die Menage à Trois zwischen dem Hochstapler Chester MacFarland, seiner schönen Ehefrau Colette und dem jungen Amerikaner Rydal Keener gipfelt in Eifersucht und Verrat und endet in einem Mord im labyrinthischen Palast von Knossos.

Hace casi un siglo, John Pendlebury publicó ‘A handbook to the palace of Minos at Knossos with Its Dependencies' (Macmillan & Co, 1933), la primera guía de mano sobre el yacimiento minoico de la isla de Creta. Ahora, se reedita en español (El palacio de Minos en Cnosos, Confluencias, 2024) con las anotaciones y la revisión de Carlos Aguayo, arqueólogo y guía turístico.

Der Untergang der minoischen Kultur auf Kreta ist eines der großen Rätsel der Geschichtswissenschaften. War es ein Erdbeben, dass die Städte und Paläste zum Einsturz brachte oder ein Vulkanausbruch? Oder war die Katastrophe doch menschengemacht? In unserer Bonusfolge sprechen wir über die verschiedenen Theorien.

Durch den ältesten, europäischen Rechtsstreit, sind zwei hochgestellte Mykenerinnen in die Geschichte eingegangen. Worum es in diesen Disputen geht, erläutere ich euch - denn ebenso soll es uns als Fenster in die Vergangenheit dienen. Uns zeigen in welchen Hemisphären Frauen agierten, lebten und starben. Von hochgestellten weiblichen Individuen bis hin zu tüchtigen Arbeiterinnen, die vermutlich eher die Maße der Mykenerinnen ausmachten. Von Aufseherinnen, Ehefrauen und Plantagenbesitzerinnen - wir werden sie in dieser Folge kennenlernen und durch sie die weibliche mykenische Welt erkunden.

We're back with the long-awaited follow-up discussion to our foundational episode on Amazons and Matriarchy.  In Part I, we discussed the movements of the Old Europe matriarchies in the third millennium B.C., as well as Vicki's concept of the "Double-Goddess," its significance for matriarchy and it's connection with the Amazons. In this episode we pick up in the second millennium B.C., and discuss the final eras of the matriarchies of Old Europe and the rise and end of what could be called the "resistance movement" of bands of warrior women called "Amazons."  Vicki Noble, once again, leads the way and shares her knowledge of Amazons and the Matriarchal world from which they'd sprung.  Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden host.

Andrew Gough is a London based writer and presenter of historical mysteries. He is Editor of the history magazine, The Heretic (www.thehereticmagazine.com) and publishes his research on his website (www.andrewgough.com). It has been estimated that Gough's television work is viewed by more than five million people globally, each week.Gough is renowned for his research on the sacred bee, which he calls The Hidden Hive of History: The Forgotten God of the Ancients. Gough's discoveries unveil a sacred tradition that has existed for over 100 million years and which reveals new insights into Atlantis, the labyrinth of Knossos, the Sphinx and much more. It explores the foundation of religion, politics, the Illuminati and the mysterious seafarers who became the drug lords of the ancient world and rulers of souls in the afterlife. It is about the honeybee, which, Gough argues, is the real lost tradition and the forgotten god of the ancients.Most recently, Gough has uncovered compelling new research into the legends of a hollow earth, occupied by ancient races, who have thrived for hundreds of thousands of years, and remain there today. In support of this research, he has co-founded Project Restoration, whose technology can locate chambers deep beneath the earth (that have been preserved by these ancient races) and which seeks to unearth the priceless relics they contain, for the betterment of humankind.Website andrewgough.co.uk thehereticmagazine

In New Kingdom Egypt (c.1500 - 1150 BCE), the pharaohs and their agents had many dealings with people of the Mediterranean. These include the ancient Cretans (the "Keftiu" or Minoans) and the Mycenaeans (the "Danae" or "Danaeans"). And from the time of Amunhotep III (c. 1400--1362 BCE), we have tentative evidence for Egyptian embassies visiting these islands. From Memphis to Mycenae, Karnak to Crete, we go in search of international relations. Compilation of previously released material.

Season 9: My special guest is Alexandros Angelis who's here to discuss his book that explores mysteries from our ancient past. Get it now on Amazon.About the book:Imagine the following scene: Eric Schliemann having to get the permission of scientists, telling them that, based on Homer's descriptions, he believes he can discover the mythical Troy. Besides laughing their hearts out, do you think there would even be the slightest chance for Schliemann to have gotten their permission? And it is not just Troy, Knossos, or the Mycenae, the most major archaeological findings in the world, despite the references in the ancient texts, that was a complete surprise for the scientific establishment. If that establishment had full control, all those discoveries would never have happened. The primary purpose of this book is to present evidence supporting the theory of a relatively advanced civilization during prehistory, which was lost due to some natural catastrophe. This is mainly attempted by giving knowledge of the ancient people, which they are not justified to have had, and similarities between distant cultures that should not have existed. How advanced was that civilization? It is somewhat more advanced than Europe during the 18th century AC. Secondarily, but no less important, there are the following goals: to reveal our civilization's vast danger from cosmic impacts and help realize how much more frequent natural catastrophes are than we think. Shoot down the theories regarding Indo-Europeans & foreign invaders in Greece, proving that the Greeks have preserved knowledge from events in this area many thousand years before their time. Shows that mythology hides big doses of historical truth within itself as it describes actual events, although often distorted by the human imagination. This truth may be of great help to the work of science in the investigation of the unknown aspects of our past.•To trouble the reader on how much we differ from men of past eras, even from other human species, contrary to the common belief that we are vastly "superior".•To arouse the reader's interest in the ancient mysteries which spread like a fog over the history of the human civilization. Science, after all, accepts that large-scale catastrophes often occur while man walks the earth, so is it doubtful that human society has had a setback at least once in the past?On the contrary, it is probably the usual thing. On a smaller scale than the one proposed here, there have been many setbacks in human civilization, like the domination of the Romans (when the Hellenistic Age collapsed), the collapse of the Romans themselves later on, the rise of Islam, and more. The funny part is that science accepts the Indo-European theory, meaning that an Indo-European race started traveling around the world during prehistoric times, spreading civilizations but leaving no trace behind before mysteriously disappearing. But how far is the Indo-European theory from that of a lost civilization? Not much, as one difference is the period, and the other is the geographical area (the present theory presupposes the ocean crossing). So, how reasonable is it for one theory to be officially adopted by science and the other to be out of the question? We are used to rejecting anything opposed to the established views, but during human history, all the great pioneers did precisely that: challenged the status quo.

Rydal fühlt sich magisch zu dem Paar hingezogen, das ihn unwillkürlich mit verdrängten Konflikten aus seiner Vergangenheit konfrontiert. Als ein griechischer Polizist die MacFarlands in deren Hotel aufspürt und vernehmen will, tötet Chester den Griechen. Rydal überrascht Chester, als dieser gerade die Leiche über den Hotelflur ziehen will, und hilft ihm nicht nur beim Verstecken des Toten, sondern auch bei der Flucht nach Kreta. Doch schnell wird klar: diese Ménage-à-trois kann nur tragisch enden. Auf Eifersucht folgen Lügen, Verrat und schließlich ein Mord im labyrinthischen Palast von Knossos. Mit Hansi Jochmann (Erzählerin), Robin Meisner (Rydal Keener), Matthias Leja (Chester MacFarland), Marleen Lohse (Colette MacFarland) sowie Adam Bousdoukos, Jasin Challah, Yorck Dippe, Marios Gavrilis, Pascal Houdus, Maja Schöne und Gustav Peter Wöhler In weiteren Rollen: Nikolaos Goudanakis, Iraklis Kamperidis, Niko Kapsalis, Sofia Chatzigianni und Stavros Mouratidis Übersetzung aus dem Amerikanischen: Werner Richter Komposition: Rainer Quade Technische Realisation: Corinna Gathmann, Jan Merget, Angelika Körber und Nicole Graul Regieassistenz: Sarah Veith Bearbeitung und Regie: Claudia Leist Besetzung: Dagmar Titz und Marc Zippel Dramaturgie: Michael Becker Produktion: NDR mit SRF 2024 Mehr Highsmith-Krimis in einer Sammlung in der ARD Audiothek: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sammlung/patricia-highsmith-expertin-des-abgrunds/95040006/

The history of sports is deeply woven into the stories humanity has told, from its earliest days. In this episode, we look at the mythological tie-ins of the Olympic Games, how wrestling shows up in many ancient stories, and a particularly wild sport from Minoan civilization. We also explore some of the most popular modern sports -- and how some of those have ancient origins, too! This episode's interview features Anna Willenbrock, a Camp Mythik and Camp Half-Blood Brooklyn Counselor who has a deep love of athletics! She's done everything from discus to sword-fighting, and she wants demigods to hear that athleticism can be for everyone.

I really regret not shouting out my love of these games louder before Volition was cruelly shuttered. FreeSpace 1 and 2 are tense spacefighter Ace Combat, with atmospheric music, harrowing atmosphere, great gameplay, and yes- some pretty darn fun ship designs too. In honor and sadness at the end of Volition, the developers of the series (and several other remarkable series besides), I wanted to talk a bit about these designs with Dylan. I hope this episode can tempt you to check out these very excellent games, available on GOG and Steam, and enhanced even further with the FreeSpace Open project and the Knossos launcher. It's not the Gundam Wiki, but the FreeSpace Wiki is plenty thorough enough for our purposes. Check out the list of FreeSpace 1 ships here, and FreeSpace 2 ships here.

The Babylonians also had a similar concept of the Underworld, which they called Irkalla. According to Sumerian mythology, the Underworld was a dark and gloomy place where the souls of the dead went after they passed away. The journey to the Underworld was perilous, and the souls had to navigate through seven gates, each guarded by a different deity. Once in the Underworld, the souls were judged by Ereshkigal and her consort, Nergal. The souls were then assigned to different levels of the Underworld based on their deeds in life. The worst offenders were sent to the lowest level, where they were subjected to eternal torment. The Babylonians had a similar concept of the Underworld, but their version was more complex. According to Babylonian mythology, the Underworld was divided into several levels, each with its own ruler. The souls of the dead had to pass through each level, facing different challenges and obstacles along the way. One of the most famous stories from Babylonian mythology is the tale of Ishtar's descent into the Underworld. Ishtar was the goddess of love and fertility, and she decided to visit the Underworld to rescue her lover, Tammuz. However, she was unable to pass through the gates of the Underworld, and she was forced to remove her clothing and jewelry as payment to the gatekeepers. The seven deities that guard each of the seven gates in the Underworld are named: 1) Neti, 2) Gedu, 3) Ennugi, 4) Ninkasi, 5) Ninimma, 6) Enbilulu, and 7) Dumuzid/SISTER. These deities were believed to have the power to judge the souls of the deceased and determine their fate in the afterlife. It was believed that those who were deemed worthy would be granted access to the afterlife, while those who were deemed unworthy would be condemned to eternal suffering. The purpose of each of the seven gates in the Underworld is to prevent the dead from escaping and to ensure that they are judged fairly before being allowed to enter the afterlife. Each gate is guarded by a different deity, and each deity has a specific role in the judgment process. The first gate is guarded by the god Neti, who checks the name of the deceased against a list of those who are allowed to enter. The second gate is guarded by the god Gedu, who weighs the heart of the deceased against a feather to determine if they have lived a good life. The third gate is guarded by the goddess Lahamu, who judges the deceased based on their deeds in life. The fourth gate is guarded by the god Shala, who determines if the deceased has been faithful to their spouse. The fifth gate is guarded by the goddess Ninlil, who judges the deceased based on their knowledge and wisdom. The sixth gate is guarded by the god Nergal, who determines if the deceased has been a good ruler or leader. The seventh and final gate is guarded by the goddess Ereshkigal, who judges the deceased based on their overall worthiness to enter the afterlife. Ereshkigal is a prominent figure in Sumerian and Babylonian mythology, known as the goddess of the Underworld. She is the sister of the god of the sky, Anu, and the god of the earth, Enlil. Ereshkigal is often depicted as a fearsome and powerful goddess, ruling over the dead and the spirits of the Underworld. Ereshkigal held a senior status among the underworld deities, ruling over the category of so-called "transtigridian snake gods" Two Minoan snake goddess figurines were excavated in 1903 in the Minoan palace at Knossos in the Greek island of Crete. #gnosticinformant #documentary #mythology --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gnosticinformant/message

Episode Bio: In this episode your hosts Gary & Shona Allen will be chatting to the well known and fascinating TV presenter, writer, researcher and editor of The Heretic magazine, Andrew Gough. We will be discussing Andrew's research on the sacred bee, which he calls The Hidden Hive of History: The Forgotten God of the Ancients. Andrew's discoveries unveil a sacred tradition that has existed for over 100 million years and which reveals new insights into Atlantis, the labyrinth of Knossos, the Sphinx and much more. It is about the honeybee, which, Andrew argues, is the real lost tradition and the forgotten god of the ancients. Guest Bio: Andrew Gough is a London based writer and presenter of historical mysteries. He is Editor of the history magazine, The Heretic (www.thehereticmagazine.com) and publishes his research on his website (www.andrewgough.com). It has been estimated that Andrew's television work is viewed by over 2 million people globally, each week which includes: Ancient Aliens , Mysteries of the Ancient Dead, Crimes and Conspiracies Decoded, Forbidden History, NASA's Unexplained Files, Inside Secret Societies, Ancient Top Ten, amongst many others.. Andrew has published and written for publications of all kinds and is an active presenter on the conference speaker circuit.

Descifrar una civilización perdida revela el desafío monumental emprendido por algunas de las mentes más brillantes del mundo académico para descifrar un misterioso idioma perdido hace mucho tiempo. Tomará más de 50 años y conducirá a una tragedia para todos los involucrados. Sir Arthur John Evans, arqueólogo británico y pionero en el estudio de la civilización del Egeo en la Edad del Bronce. Es más famoso por desenterrar el palacio de Knossos en la isla griega de Creta. Sobre la base de las estructuras y artefactos encontrados allí y en todo el Mediterráneo oriental, Evans descubrió que necesitaba distinguir la civilización minoica de la Grecia micénica. Evans también fue el primero en definir las escrituras cretenses Lineal A y Linear B, así como una escritura pictográfica anterior. Pero Lineal B fue descifrado por el arquitecto inglés y lingüista autodidacta Michael Ventris basándose en la investigación de la clasicista estadounidense Alice Kober que a su vez continuó con el trabajo realizado por Arthur Evans.

What would the ruins of the Palace of Knossos (nah-sohs) look like in the moonlight? An uneven grid of boxlike rooms, interrupted by darker larger forms like a midnight quilt unfolding into the night. A cascade of history—fading into silhouette, shadow and—interpretation. The Palace of Knossos (nah-sohs) was built on the largest island in Greece: Crete. The island has mountains and gorges, and appears to be a bit of a desert but the water surrounding the island is brilliant phthalo and cerulean blue. What about the ghosts in the depths of the legendary labyrinth, in the deep dark, below the palace?—The place where Theseus and the Minotaur had their showdown? Where does myth end reality meet? Was there really a labyrinth?  https://www.facebook.com/whisperinggallerystories Photo Source: Creative Commons License https://art.thewalters.org/detail/2191/theseus-and-the-minotaur-2/  Theseus and the Minotaur, sculpture (terracotta), by Arnold Seligmann, French, 18th century 

Pets will soon be allowed into more than 120 archaeological sites across Greece, the country's Culture Ministry announced, although not in the Acropolis or some of the other top tourist draws. The move, unanimously approved by the country's powerful Central Archaeological Council, will relax current rules which only allow guide dogs for disabled visitors into archaeological sites. The ministry did not specify when the new regulations would be implemented. The decision is “a first, but important, step toward harmonizing the framework of accessibility to monuments and archaeological sites with the standards of other European countries, where entry rules for pets already apply,” Culture Minister Lina Mendoni said in a ministry press release. The council approved the entry of pets provided they are kept on a leash no more than one meter (3 feet) long, or carried by their owners in a pouch or a pet carrying case. Owners will also need to show their pet's health certificate and carry the necessary accessories to pick up their animal's droppings in order to be allowed entry, the ministry said. Larger dogs will have to be muzzled. But some of the most popular archaeological sites, such as the Acropolis of Athens, Knossos in Crete, Ancient Olympia or Delphi, which tend to get very crowded, will still remain pet-free, as will ancient theaters, temples, graves and monuments with mosaic floors. Cages will be installed at the entrances of more than 110 other archaeological sites, the ministry said, so owners can park their pets during their visit. Tourism is one of Greece's main industries, generating billions of euros in revenue each year. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Most recently, Andrew has uncovered compelling new research into the legends of a hollow earth, occupied by ancient races, who have thrived for hundreds of thousands of years, and remain there today. In support of this research, he has co-founded Project Restoration, whose technology can locate chambers deep beneath the earth (that have been preserved by these ancient races) and which seeks to unearth the priceless relics they contain, for the betterment of humankind.

In diesem Impuls möchte ich gemeinsam mit euch über die Landschaft im Zeichnen nachdenken, sodass ihr mit der Idee von Landschaft auch in eure Zeichnung gehen könnt. Das Darstellen von Landschaft ist in der Kunstgeschichte eine sehr, sehr alte Gestaltungsform. Zunächst ging es darum, ein Stück Landschaft aus der unberührten und vom Menschen unbeeinflussten Natur darzustellen. Über die verschiedenen Kunstepochen hat sich diese Idee verdeutlicht, nämlich das Verhältnis von Mensch gegenüber der Natur, von Mensch zu seiner Umwelt. Auch die Veränderungen der gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse kann man aufgrund der Landschaftsdarstellungen sehr genau erkennen. Die frühesten Landschaftsdarstellungen sind schon in der altägyptischen Kunst und in der altorientalischen Kunst zu sehen. Auch in der Kunst auf Kreta, im berühmten Palast von Knossos aus dem 16. Jahrhundert v. Chr. sind Landschaften dargestellt. In Etrurien gibt es Paläste, wo zum Beispiel Landschaftsdarstellungen mit Geschichten von der Odyssee gefunden wurden. 

The demi-god Hercules was regarded as a great hero for the people of Rome and Greece. He was known for performing various deeds that no mortal could. Hercules was an everyman who had bad days and even died due to another's trickery. These stories were entertaining, but they also told an important lesson to an audience: If bad things can happen to a hero, they have nothing to be ashamed of.The most famous of his activities was the 12 labours that Hercules was asked to perform by his cousin Eurystheus, who was the king of Mycenae and Tiryns. The first set of labours numbered only ten, but they eventually grew to twelve.To kill the Nemean Lion who was impervious to all weapons. To kill the monster known as the Hydra who had nine venomous heads and, when one was cut off, two more would grow in its place. To capture the Cerynitian Hind who was sacred to the goddess Artemis.To capture the Erymanthian Boar. Cleaning the Stables of Augeius in a day.To drive away the Stymphalian Birds.To bring back the Cretan Bull from Knossos.To bring back the Mares of Diomedes.To bring back Hippolyte's Girdle.To bring back the cattle of Geryon, king of Cadiz.To bring back the Golden Apples of Hesperides.To bring back Cerberus, the guard dog of the underworld.Read more at https://mythlok.com/hercules/

A twisty-turny theme by Michael Dewey to help celebrate our midweek crossword. No revealers here (you'll have to listen to the podcast for that), but we will tell you that both DALEEVANS and ROYROGERS managed to meander into today's grid. A few mysteries popped up in the grid -- 45D, Contents of college blue books, ESSAYS (why blue?); 46A, Lost freshness, STALED (wait, is that even a word? check out the episode to find out!); and 13D, Home of the Minotaur's Labyrinth, KNOSSOS (is that K silent?) -- which we leave for you, dear listener, to ponder. In the meantime, we cordially invite you to download, listen to, and, yes, ponder today's episode!
