Most of the parties I go to include vegans. Maybe all of them. I always make something vegan if I'm going to a potluck, because that's going the farthest.

Seitan steak, that is. :wink:

Have you ever made Seitan? I've still to try make it but I keep seeing photos of this guy who does it and it looks lovely.

If vegan's argue at a party is it still called beef..? :lol:

(that's all the vegan dad jokes I know)

When it comes to vegans, never encourage them by egging them on, tell them to "say cheese" when taking their picture, or milk vegan jokes for all they're worth.

I believe that once the tropical Aquarian Age, under Uranian rulership, becomes dominant, at least some will be able to access the nutrients in the air we breathe. In the Hindu concept, it's called "Prana".

Pranarian! :biggrin:

Interesting given environmental pollution. Sun is the filter mechanism.

Also, how will we stop to break bread together if we’re just wheezily conspiring all the time?

Hindu and Buddhist group meditation is all about breathing together.

Air pollution will be considered the same then, as poisoned food is now.

Yes, we have widespread general pollution thanks to pseudoscientific activities. Like for example firefighting foam composed of perfluorinated chemicals, dumped onto organic farms and into waterways.

All kinds of toxic chemicals are constantly being introduced into the atmosphere. This is a world-wide health problem.

"Caelus" was the Roman name for the Greek god "Ouranos"
personification of the Heavens.
In Hurria in eastern Anatolia the Hurrian god Anus
was originally the cup bearer
for an even older heavenly ruler, Alalus.
After nine years Anus defeated and overthrew his master
dispatching him to under the earth
Similar to Zeus' overthrow of Kronos or his defeat
and casting into Tartaros of the Titans
The sky god Anu aka Anus equates to the Sumerian An/Anu, Ouranos, and Varuna
though there was no Earth consort in this myth.
However, the overthrow of this primordial sky god
closely parallels both the Sumerian and Greek versions :smile:
He took his seat on the throne and had Kumarbis as his cupbearer.
Likewise, after nine years
Kumarbis rebelled and usurped the rule of Anus who fled to the sky.
Kumarbis also bit off and swallowed his phallus
which detail parallels Kronos' castration of Ouranos.

In this act Anus had some revenge
by impregnating Kumarbis with the Storm-god
the god of the Aranzahas (Tigris) river, and Tasmisus.
Anus then hid himself in heaven.
After the Storm-god's 'birth' or regurgitation
this triad plotted to destroy Kumarbis
and, with his other children, succeeded.

Although this part of the Hurrian story diverges somewhat from the Greek
we can still recognize that this impregnating of Kumarbis equates to Kronos' swallowing his children before both finally regurgitating them.



The respective children overthrew both of these gods
of whom the 'Storm-god' was the leader in both myths.
The 'impregnation' of Kumarbis also reflects another theme
recalled in such myths as Zeus' swallowing of his pregnant wife Metis
before 'giving birth' to Athena from his head
- a theme that is otherwise very strange to the other Indo-European peoples.

Instead, you flaxseed them on, tell them to say "cashew cheese" when taking their picture, and soymilk vegan jokes for all they're worth!

The myth of sodomization/castration of the father god is probably a fanciful story retelling what happened to our grandfather Noah by his son Ham by postdiluvian nations.
