I’d rather prefer old roads, old dogs, old folks, and old ways to this sped-up world

This is a boneyard near Paris, France with hundreds of electric powered cars. Mind you these are only cars used by the City of Paris and not personal vehicles. All of these have the same issue,.... the battery storage cells have given out and need replaced. Why not just replace them you ask? Well two reasons. First the battery storage cells cost almost double what the vehicle cost new, and second no landfill or disposals will allow the batteries to be disposed of there. So these green fairy tale electric cars are all sitting in vacant lots while their batteries drain toxins into the ground.
Still think we need to go green???

On Chtonic Deities (3)

In the antique Mediterranean world there was a common motif for a mother deity, flanked by two lions. This figure is called Potnia Theron, the Lady of the Animals. (Ancient Greek: Ἡ Πότνια Θηρῶν)

The oldest figurine found was the Seated Woman of Çatalhöyük, which resembles the Venus of Willendorf remarkably.

Also note the ever present swastika.

We most likely see a merge of Paleolithic mother goddess worship and Bronze Age queen worship, originating in the observations of the planet Venus, which roamed the sky as icon of beauty (comet-like appearance) with a terrible aspect.

Potnia Theron is thus a mythological doppelganger of Matar Kubileya, the Roman Cybele.

The name Radagast in reality is found in Edward Gibbon’s 1776–1789 Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, in the form "Radagaisus". Slavic mythology contains a god named Radegast; this has been interpreted as "welcome guest", making him the god of hospitality. Tolkien's wizard may represent an echo of this Slavic tradition,a rare source among all the diverse influences on Tolkien’s writings.
