For tonight's bedtime story, let's explore the stories of various gods from Antiquity that once were very relevant to the societies that worshipped them, before mostly disappearing from memories: - Sol Invictus, the sun god of the Romans that was propelled from obscure cult to imperial religion in the Third Century AD, and whose festival on December 25th became Christmas; - Mithra, an Iranian deity borrowed from Zoroastrianism by several foreign peoples, especially the Romans, who reinvented this cult completely into a mystery religion for initiates; - Inanna/Ishtar, the Mesopotamian godess of love, procreation, political power and war, that was worshipped for thousands of years by various Mesopotamian civilizations (Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Babylonians) and whose influence reached the Mediterranean; - Pazuzu, the demon god of southwestern winds of the Babylonians, and a popular domestic spirit whose ferocity protected homes, pregnant women and young mothers from even worse evils; - Aten, the sun disk, that pharaoh Ahmenotep IV/Akhenaten tried to impose as the new supreme god of Egypt during the New Kingdom.
Fall asleep exploring the mysteries of History, Space, Mythology or Sciences. Every episode of the French Whisperer ASMR Podcast is a little adventure, under the form of a documentary, narrated in a soft spoken voice. It is the best way to get absorbed in a story, forget your concerns, relax, and naturally fall asleep.
