A Series That Changed My Life.

One work of literature has stood the test of time for me. If one would have asked me years ago my love for this series, I would have thought them mad. In middle school, I introduced myself to this series when I went into the library and found the biggest book I could find. The purpose of finding this novel was just to get accelerated reading points. If you're not aware of what those points would be, it would be that as part of your literature course you've read books and then you took a test and that test points what do they raise your grade or on you or earn in the classroom. Well, in middle school, I wasn't the greatest reading student. I kinda goofed off there for a point and on my midterm I had a failing grade! This series had been in the news for being banned in some middle schools because of content. Some parents felt that it would corrupt their children because it dealt with witchcraft Wizardry and those parents thought that it was associated with the Devil. However, and all of my years of reading books and novels at the age of 22, I have not found another work of literature that has held such a great love for me. Even as an adult, the book series Harry Potter, holds such great value to me that everytime it comes on television or at least once a year I reread the entire series. For me Harry Potter has changed my life. It has opened so many thought processes and awakened so many outlooks on the world that I might not have had before. The book series holds so many deep meanings of friendship and loyalty and perseverance and going against the grain and going against what is deemed normal. Harry Potter teaches young kids that it's okay to stand up for what you believe it's right it's okay to stand up against and Harry Potter's case great evil and I feel like expecially today this book series needs to be red and needs to become a classic because so many situations that Harry Potter experiences while in a fictional world, can relate to our modern day Society. For some reading Harry Potter it's just a book. But for people like me it's so much more. Harry Potter continues to grow so many people for the first time even today and you're always looking back on the series and experiencing new things. It's not a series to be read once. It's a series to be read multiple times and experience new adventures every single time. As a 22 year old adult, but the child, this book is probably the most important things besides friends and family that I have and I will continue to love this series forever. So if you read this article, and experience Harry Potter love the same way I do I would love to engage in conversation with someone about this book. I continue to learn about myself society and so much more every time I read the series and I will be forever grateful for the author who wrote this Book.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
