ADRASTEA β’
The nymph Adrastea (also spelled Adrasteia or Adrastia) inhabited the Dictacan Cave on the island of Crete. The mythographer Apollodorus reports that since Cronus had swallowed all of his children at their birth so as to avoid a prophecy that he would be overpowered by one of his own progeny, Rhea, his consort and sister, went clandestinely to Crete when on the verge of delivering Zeus, her last child by Cronus. There Rhea entrusted her newborn child to Adrastea and her sister Ida, as well as to the Curetes, semi-divine beings who sang and clashed their weapons to hide the baby's

God = Dog
Behemoth
There's a serpent coiling around my neck
The adoring crescent moon in blazing night
The holy river Ganga flowing through my matted hair
In the ancient times before I learned ov who I am
If I am a missing link between the pig and the divine
I shall cast the pearls before the swine
I am no good shepherd on an ox
But a solitude ov the loneliest star
Like a 1000 shrines subsumed into the void
Like a dead space in between the suns
Is a God to live in a dog? No!
But the highest are of us
Is a God to live in a dog? No!
But the highest are of us
Elohim (Elohim)
I shall not forgive
Adonai (Adonai)
I shall not forgive
Living God (Living God)
I shall not the forgive
Jesus Christ (Jesus Christ)
I forgive Thee not

QUETZALCOATL β’
Quetzalcoatl is a deity in Aztec culture and literature. Among the Aztecs, he was related to wind, Venus, Sun, merchants, arts, crafts, knowledge, and learning. He was also the patron god of the Aztec priesthood. He was one of several important gods in the Aztec pantheon, along with the gods Tlaloc, Tezcatlipoca and Huitzilopochtli. Two other gods represented by the planet Venus are Tlaloc (ally and the god of rain) and Xolotl (psychopomp and its twin)
Quetzalcoatl wears around his neck the breastplate ehΔcacΕzcatl, "the spirally voluted wind jewel". This talisman was a conch shell cut at the cross-section and was likely worn as a necklace by religious rulers, as such objects have been discovered in burials in archaeological sites throughout Mesoamerica,and potentially symbolized patterns witnessed in hurricanes, dust devils, seashells, and whirlpools, which were elemental forces that had significance in Aztec mythology

PRUSSIA MYTHOLOGY β’
The Teutonic Order, a crusading military order, began the Prussian Crusade in the 1220s. Their goal was to conquer and convert pagan Prussians to Christianity. The Knights built log and stone fortresses, which proved to be impregnable to the Prussians. Despite five Prussian uprisings, the conquest of Prussia was complete by the 1280s. German, Lithuanian, Latvian, and Polish colonists repopulated the decimated region. It is estimated that by around year 1400 the Prussians numbered 100,000 and comprised about half of the total population in Prussia. The Prussians were subject to Germanization and assimilation and eventually became extinct sometime after the 16th century. The Knights regarded paganism as evil, worthy of complete eradication and not study. Therefore they showed no interest in local customs and produced no detailed accounts of Prussian mythology. Bits of Prussian gods and traditions can be found in Teutonic documents.
