7 Secrets of the Goddess Gaia's Secret Reading Notes

Gaia is the Earth mother. The only way her son Chronus could leave Gaia's woumb was by castrating his father. Chronus then declared himself King. Chronus killed all of his kids so no one could take the power from his as he did to his father. Gaia saves one kid of Chronus and raises him in secret. After he's grown up he kills Chronus and takes over. There is an idea of primal female deity, first adored then brutally side lined by a male deity is a consistent theme in mythologies around the world. 
An example from an indian tribe was when Sednas father casts her overboard. When she tries to climb back he cuts off her fingers. As she's struggling to get back in he cuts her arms too. Shiva asked Vishnu agreed to be her lover provided she game him her third eye, He then used his third eye to burn her and turn her to Ash. This ash became three new Gods. 
In all of these stories from around the world males have to compete for the female prize. In bird species they choose the male with the best feathers, voice, or can build the best nest. The alpha males have always been superior and makes the non alpha males go crazy. Since then there have been many social changes. Not all males are needed for reproduction. Women were more important for tribes.

Introduction to Joshua the Biology major

My name is Joshua Cohlmia and I was born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Being raised here made it an easy choice to continue my education at the University of Oklahoma. My major is Biology/Pre-Dental. The most interesting part of my major is that I've taken lots of difficult science classes but have never once learned about teeth. It's weird taking all these classes that don't apply directly yo my job in the future. The most interesting class I took last semester was molecular biology. Having a pandemic while taking these science classes has been awesome (for class not in everyday life) because a lot of teachers have been using Covid-19 as an example and I've gotten to learn so much about it. Last semester I finally reached my goal of achieving a 4.0 which I had never done before. My favorite movie is Die Hard because it ties my two favorite things together, Christmas and action. My favorite book is the Harry Potter series because it was the first series of book

Next to them was a beautiful lake with a very cunning crane. The crane loves to eat fish and saw an opportunity to take advantage of the fish struggling in their pond. The Crane flew over to the fish and enticed the fish by telling them about this beautiful lake next to them with a plentiful amount of water. Soon, all the fish in the lake were gathered around the Crane while he went on and on about the lake he lives in with lots of water. The fish were all thrilled to hear this but also very suspicious of the crane because they knew that cranes feast on fish. They asked many questions but the crane was quite convincing. The fish gathered together to decide and wound up deciding to give the Crane a cha
