Old Faiths, New Ways

Nowadays an archeological site, Göbekli Tepe, was a place of spirituality for the nomad tribes from millennia’s ago. Humanity craved otherworldliness, and then poured it into art, rules, myths etc. This has not, and will not change.

Old Faiths, New Ways is a topic much more intricate with science than it might seem.

A lot of new spiritual developments, like cult revivals, art inspirations or psychotherapeutic developments own their newfound place to archeological, ethnographic, linguistic or quantum theory developments. We’ll revisit how old Gods and Goddess remained present yet hidden in our daily lives and what we can learn from them now that their presence is known. 

Beside the theoretical discussions, we will exemplify how and where spirituality shows up our daily life and popular culture, and why it matters so much. This is, in my opinion, important not just so we can learn about spirituality but also what we can learn from spirituality itself. What are the needs that our culture expresses with its artifacts?
