Last day, I happened to watch Annabelle, the creation. There are many misunderstood things, hidden in the movie. As the story goes...the little girl is killed in a road accident and the family invites a supernatural being, a deity into their family so that they can see their dead daughter again. When a supernatural being is invited to a family, he has to be worshiped with tantric rituals and in some cases blood sacrifices depending upon the 'sambrutaya' or tradition that is followed.  But, what happened in the story is that, they completely forgets the deity and so without his rituals and offerings, he turns negative and forces the family to give him his offerings and sacrifices.  WHAT ABOUT THE SO CALLED DEMON ? The demon shown in the movie shares many features with the Vedic God Cernunnos.  The overwhelming popularity of Cernunnos amongst most European Pagans, was of course, viewed as threat by those trying to promote Christianity — so much so that it i...

In her previous birth Kulovaka was Manaswini, a servant in the retinue of Parvati. One day she happened to breast-feed Ganesha who was a baby at that time. Parvati didn't appreciate the fact of a servant breast-feedi...

Cernnunos, a nature and fertility god, has appeared in a multitude of forms and made himself known by many names to nearly every culture throughout time. "Through the forest stillness they come, whispering wings and secret glide, rustling leaves, and silent step, the first Ancestors, the Oldest Animals, to gather around Him: Blackbird, Keeper of the Gate; Stag of Seven Tines, Master of Time; Ancient Owl, Crone of the Night; Eagle, Lord of the Air, Eye of the Sun; and Salmon, Oldest of the Old, Wisest of the Wise leaping from the juncture of the Five Springs.  He welcomes them and blesses them, and they honour Him, Cernnunos of the nut brown skin and lustrous curling hair; the god whose eyes flash star-fire, whose flesh is a reservoir of ancient waters, His cells alive with Mystery, original primeval essence.  Naked, phallus erect, He wears a crown of antlers limned in green fire and twined with ivy. In his right hand the Torq of gold, testament of his nobility an...
