Hi from Portugal, Greg!
I just want to let you know how much I enjoyed listening to this episode and how eager I am now to subscribe to the Heaven podcast.
As for your show, I’m looking forward to start listening to some episodes entirely dedicated to Egyptian and Celtic Mythology. Are you planing something soon on these topics? Sorry to ask you for this, Greg, for I know this is a big challenge and your free time is probably scarce!
Your faithfull listener

Hey! Love this as an outlet for learning about mythology. This was a great interview. I might have to read Heaven/Hell now.
I had one thing about the use of mythical characters in the book discussed. In it, Mur say(I haven’t heard the book yet) that Anubis
eats the heavy souls. I know of 5 huge characters that over see the judgement of the soul. Thoth who weighs it, Osiris and his son Horus who oversees it,
Anubis who guards and guides it(egyptian reaper)and finally the one who actually eats heavy souls-Ammit the hippo/crocodile/lion.
I also had one request: Being that I’m in Hawaii, born there live there through my current eighteen years of life- I was wondering if you might do a showcase on some of those mythos. The big four(HI version of big three in greek) Kane(Kon-neh), Ku, Kanaloa, and Lono or even the over hyped about legendary Pele who is one of the most famous secodary gods(daughter of Haumea(supreme mother godess) and Kane(HI incarnation of Zues) and all her pantheon of brothers and sisters.
Hi Antoino and Kelson,
Welcome to the show and the great suggestions! I’ll add them to this list for the future shows.
It’s great to see this episode being referred in other blogs.
Thanks!
