    Thoth's Pilgrimage Cult Analysis

    Thoth had a large cult following in his patron city, Hermopolis (Silverman 42). Pilgrimage journeys were made to many sites, one being Dier el-Medina (David 314; Wilkinson 217). In Upper Egypt, in nome 15, cult centers such as Khmun and Unu dedicated to Thoth (Simpson 440). He patroned scribes, scholars, and other literate people (mainly the high priests and elite) (David 200; Wilkinson 215). His eventual role as the mortuary scribe was something that was so key that his worshipers looked to him for blessings regarding their scribal duties and work (rather than worshipping more of his moon aspect, as that was more mythological and something to be dealt with after death). An example of this is found in a devotional prayer to him for “skill in…

    Gregorio Cortez Journey

    Gregorio Cortez was born on a ranch on June 22, 1875 between Reynosa and Matamoros on the Mexican side of the river. He then relocated to Manor, Texas and a couple of years later he began working in a farm in Karnes and Gonzales counties. As we can see Gregorio Cortez is an ordinary man in an “ordinary world” just trying to survive and have a decent life. His “call to adventure” came when Sheriff Morris questioned Mexicans about a stolen horse, thus Gregorio was approached and questioned about the situation. Everything was going smoothly until the interpreter misunderstood Gregorio’s reply by failing to identify that in Mexican Culture there is a distinction between a horse (caballo) and mare (yegua). Gregorio said he never traded a horse…

    Pilgrimage of Grace

    When Martin Luther posted the 95 theses in 1517, he had changed the entire path of European politics and religion. He sparked a thought in the region that in many cases, converted people’s basic Christian beliefs. At the time, the Roman Catholic Church was the most powerful Institution. However, there were many corruptions and problematic doctrines, which Luther opposed. Though most commoners became followers because of faith, political leaders sometimes became protestant for other reasons. One important figure that was influenced by this protestant reformation was King Henry VIII of England. A monarch, he had a great desire to have a son that would be his heir, the next king. Unfortunately, his first wife was only able to birth one daughter. By then Henry VIII had formed a relationship with another woman. This one promised him a son. However, the Catholic Church forbade divorce and Henry VIII was Catholic at the time. To resolve this issue, England separated from the church and began the Anglican Church, a church headed by Henry VIII himself. The Act of Supremacy in 1534 officially began England’s Protestant Reformation. With this new power of the state over the church, the head of the King’s Council, Thomas Cromwell, carried out new government policies which included new taxes, increased power of the monarchy in Northern England, dissolution of Roman Catholic monasteries, and confiscation of the lands that belong to the Church. Enraged, commoners and nobles alike began marching and protesting in what was known collectively as the Pilgrimage of Grace. These individuals that numbered in the tens of thousands, marched for political and religious reasons, while the opposition also claimed political and religious reasons for the protests to stop.…

    Pilgrimage of Grace

    The Pilgrimage of Grace started because many people were dissatisfied with King Henry VIII's actions. The King's decisions to form a new religion sparked a controversy with the devout Catholics, but others were angry, not necessarily with the religion aspect, but just with the mannerisms of the King. For example, the King's decision to make a new religion without a Pope was not revered by some men because they strongly disagreed with heresy. Other people believe that the King was being unfair when he took away their land for his own benefit and profited from it. Some people believe that the King made inexcusable decisions on his behalf, while others believe the King was justified in his decisions.…

    Towards the end of the story, he was grief-stricken after realizing he “killed his father and sowed the womb of her who bore him!(pg.78)” “Is there no pity for me? I was dead and you words are death again.” The death he talks about is learning about his prophecy coming true. He stabbed his eyes out after he found Iocaste’s corpse hanging from a rope around her neck. He succumbs to the prophecy after he comments on himself. “I had neither sight nor knowledge then.(pg.78)” Stabbing his eyes out enabled him to truly understand without relying on his eyesight. He left with his daughters, who guided past the end of the story.…
