Research Files: Mnemosyne and Memory

/

Mnemosyne is the Greek goddess of memory and sometimes denoted a Titaness…She was also the namesake of a river that flowed through the Underworld, parallel to Lethe, the river of forgetfulness. Those who drank from the river of Mnemosyne would not forget their past lives or be reincarnated. Instead, they would spend eternity with their heroes.

Research Files: Golem Mythology

Not to be confused with Gollum, the character from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, a golem is a human-inspired form made from clay or earth and then brought to life through one of a few different methods, usually involving a secret name of God, inscription or recitation of a specific word or words (often the Hebrew word for “truth”), and/or a ritualistic physical movement like walking around the statue.
