It’s been a weekend of epic events. My family enjoyed their first few days of summer freedom, we celebrated Father’s Day, thoroughly loved Man of Steel on the big screen, and we were more than pleased with the season premiere of True Blood. And that’s where our #ImmortalMonday topic is going this week―True Blood. We’ve…
Nyx was one of the ancient Protogenoi, the first-born elemental gods. In Greek mythology, she was the goddess of night, and according to the cosmogony of Hesiod, she was the daughter to Chaos (Air), and mother to many Deities. Together, with Erebos (Darkness) she gave birth to Hermera (Day) and Aether (Upper Air). She is today’s…
The myths and legends of gods are seductive and alluring. Maybe that’s why we’re often drawn to the topic here on #ImmortalMonday. Yes, it’s here on Tuesday as promised, and I have exciting news.

A week or so ago I was reading an article about the Gibson closing, and the new plans for the space. Maybe you’ve heard. After the success of the theme park in Orlando, Florida, the magical world of Harry Potter is scheduled to come California. The new location at Universal will break ground after the…
I personally find the Moirai fascinating. You may be familiar with them from the movie Clash of the Titans. They were depicted, as they have been described through the myths, as three haggard old women. I’ve gotten to know them fairly well over this last year and thought they were an ideal topic for this…
On this particular #ImmortalMonday I am catching a flight home from what was an amazing writers’ conference in Dallas. While I’m waiting in long airline security lines, and seating in cramped quarters for several hours, you get this fun video to contemplate. History is full of events that have left us wondering. There are artifacts that create more questions than they ever…
When I say Lady of the Lake what do you think of? Maybe it’s Excalibur and King Arthur. Arguably, it’s the most popular story involving the magical Fae. It was an episode of the BBC’s Merlin that got me thinking about her and the various versions adapted by film and print. As it turns out, The…
A Gorgan. The name derives from an ancient Greek word meaning dreadful. It’s an appropriate description for Medusa and her kind. They’re ugly creatures with slithering snakes for hair, who can turn anyone to stone at a glance. A fun topic for #ImmortalMonday. Medusa the Monster Not that long ago I was reading a great…
If all you know about the lady Sif comes from the movie Thor, then your idea of who she is or should be is probably confused. #ImmortalMonday is going to attempt clear the confusion. The Lady Sif seen in the movie is based on a character of the same name from the comic books. She…
History is amazing. When we take the time to look back at some of the stunning accomplishments created through the Ages you have got to wonder if we are truly advancing on all fronts? Ever find yourself curious how the people from these ancient cultures managed to engineer some of these magnificent marvels? Today’s #ImmortalMonday is…
Welcome to my new internet home! To kick things off we’re bringing back Immortal Monday. And who better to reboot our favorite series than the overseer of life everlasting himself – Hades. “The first step to eternal life, is you have to die.” ~ Chuck Palahniuk Collect 10,000+ souls and leave life behind, you’re in the underworld…
Fan of Supernatural? How about Greek Mythology? The two will collide this week when our favorite demon hunters mistake a Titan for a zombie. You heard me right – a Titan! Prometheus will find himself on prime time television with the Winchester boys. I’ve enjoyed Supernatural for its inception and I don’t think it’s any…
