"A poem as lovely as a tree:

As the night wind blows, the boughs move to and fro.
Zhe rustling, the magic rustling that brings on the dark dream.
The dream of suffering and pain.
Pain for the victim, pain for the inflicter of pain.
A circle of pain, a circle of suffering.
Woe to the ones who behold the pale horse."

The older I become, the more I think that religion is just a reinterpreted saga. Maybe people became guruoid after having visited another country (preferably far away) and presenting a fabulous legend about some saviour, slightly adopted.

Our oldest daughter’s name is Isis Marine. Named after the Egyptian mother goddess. Marine is a link to “Stella Maris” (Star of the Sea, Mary’s nick name) and a combination of the two grandmothers Maria and Ineke. So we got the übermoms of Egyptian and Christian religion and of our own…

I did some research about the legend of Isis, and the resemblance between Egyption and Christian tradition struck me: Mary is a copycat Isis! And Jesus is a copycat Horus!

How many religions are based on the same old romantic myth?
How many opinions are based on a story once heard? That is not even remembered exactly?

I love a good portion of fantasy fiction…
