A Search Through Galaxies
”What planet are you from?” he asked me again. “I- um- I’m from the planet Thesurok,” I stuttered. “Hmmm, you’re a long way from home,” he mumbled. Shocked I asked, “You know about my planet?” He gave me a curious look and said, “Come inside kid. We have a lot to talk about.” I stepped in feeling warmth wrap around me. As I scanned my surroundings my eyes landed on a woman sitting near the fire. She looked up from the book she was reading and gave me a soft smile. “Hello dear, what’s your name?” she muttered. “My name is Altair Lyrae,” I answered while bowing my head respectfully. “It’s okay my child, no need to bow. Come, take a seat near the fire,” she told me. I sat down across from her and she met my gaze with her warm eyes. “Tell me, my child, why are you wearing tattered clothes?” she asked. Nervously I played with my hands. “I’ve been trying to find my way back home but I’ve been gone so long. I’m lost and my journey has brought me to many different planets,” I whispered. “Don’t be scared child. We have spare clothes and you can wash up once we are done here,” she stated in a soothing voice. I felt myself beginning to relax until the man came and sat next to me. He looked at me with an expression I couldn’t read and said, “Altair, we too are from Thesurok.” My body became rigid and I looked at him in pure shock. “Who are you?” I questioned. “You can call me Mark and she is my partner Connie,” he answered gesturing to himself and the woman.

It has now been a year since the release of Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker. It feels like a lifetime ago, given the weirdness of this past year. There has been, unsurprisingly, a lot of discourse surrounding the film and what it could have done better. From early ideas that did not make it to the screen, to words from the actors themselves about the process and their reactions, The Rise of Skywalker has been left with a reputation among many as a film that did not satisfy everyone as a conclusion to the Skywalker saga.
Culture SlatePublished 3 years ago in FuturismThe Nature of the Cosmos
Very few cultures have the Norse perspective of cosmogony (a view on the origins of the cosmos). The Norse cosmogony enlightens a culture aimed on orderly civilization protected from the anarchic outside, a perpetual cycle of creation, and the gods settings an archetype for which the warriors efforts were patterned. From the constant give-and-take involved in creating life to the high value placed on honor and competitive accomplishments, the Norse have evolved their view on the cosmos based on their grand narratives that give meaning and sense to the world that is much more timeless and universal than other religious cultures. Before the Norse were converted to Christianity, they thrived with their own highly sophisticated and intricate religious customs. As they were forced to convert to Christianity, many of their texts and myths were burned to ensure their conversion. Even with such events, a plentiful amount of medieval texts were left untouched in Iceland; this is where most of our knowledge of the Norse religion stems abundantly from. The Norse peoples wrote myths involving the creation of the universe being ongoing and participatory, the consequences earned for winning a noble battle, and the importance of helping the Gods defeat the giants even though they are aware of their preordained defeat. In the Norse creation myth, we see the sacredness of their beliefs and continuous acts in keeping the cosmos perpetual through every exploit and action made.
