Theocrasy: Religion, Tree Worship, And God
Citizens: Arborians A theocrasy heavily around the religion of tree worship, and the God: Silva.

Name their of their religious book; Paginis vitae

This is a short summary of the arborian story of creation and how the world came to be. Silva was the first living life force, sprouting in an empty wasteland, with an ever-present overcast sky, keeping the world in darkness, devoid of any hope for life. Then suddenly a sliver of sun broke through the thick clouds bathing it’s light on a little area near a stream of water. On this dirt where light had never touched before, a green speck sprouted, and harnessed the wet soil and the power of the sun and rose so quickly out of the earth that the whole world shook with a power bigger than any

They decided that they wanted revenge, but Silva was kind-hearted and did not like this negative behavior and told them that revenge is that path of the clouds and that revenge turned their brother evil. So he summoned Tenebris to speak with him. Tenebris came and Silva spoke his words of disappointment to Tenebris, but told Tenebris that he still loved him. Tenebris felt the terrible guilt of his actions and banished himself back to his lands where he loomed with a sad heart over his domain with leaves so thick that no light could be seen under his branches. His negativity slowly faded away leaving Tenebris permanently marked with the dark color that presides on his bark today. The negativity seeped into the ground under his deep shade, and with this negativity and darkness maleficent creatures spawned in his …show more content…
Silva proclaimed that once every tree was cut down in the world that finally the cycle of life was complete and Silva would take them to a new world that was always plentiful of resources and full of beauty in which the humans could live and this place was called "Viridi Aeternum". He tore off a piece of himself and shred the piece into so many thin slices, and folded into one singular binded item; the Paginis vitae, the first book ever created. In this wrote out everything about the righteous path in life and of the history of the world and its creatures. He handed the book to the humans and decreed them “Arborians”, the people of faith, his true creations, and the ones to lead the world in his direction. And with this decree Silva and his offspring passed from this world to the land of plentiful and left the world he loved into the hands of his favorite creation, the humans, the Arborians

    Methodist took America’s tired, poor and huddled masses long before the Statue of Liberty could do this. During America’s Great Awakening beginning in the 1730’s, Methodist became the religious group to tolerate all. In A Son of the Forest, Apess makes this point evident when he writes, “I felt convinced that Christ died for all mankind--that age, sect, colour, country, or situation, made no difference. I felt an assurance that I was included in the plan of redemption with all my brethren.”. Although indigenous, enslaved and indentured men and women were allowed to participate in the Methodist movement, this by no means meant that it was a movement for them. Members of the Great Awakening supported the participation of these oppressed groups,…

    Genesis Vs Iroquois

    As Genesis 1:1 states, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth,” but according to the Iroquois, the creation of life took place in a much different way. Throughout the book of Genesis in the New Testament, the description of the creation goes by days. In the story “The World on a Turtle’s Back,” the creation of Earth happens in a series of events, all caused by the gods in the Sky World. According to the Hebrews, the sky and Earth were created by the commanding of God, unlike what the Iroquois foretold. Consequently, God was said to have commanded that the Earth create all sorts of animals, including wild and tame ones, but the Iroquois state that the left-handed and right-handed twins created the animals that still roam Earth to this day. Moreover, in the Iroquois myth, the formation of man occurred when the pregnant…

    The pear tree is a motif of sexuality and the possibility of connection between self, the world, and other persons within Janie. In ancient Chinese mythology, the pear tree symbolized immortal life because of the longevity of the tree, the same thought can be applied in Their Eyes Were Watching God. If Janie had not continued to have hope that love was an attainable idea than she would not have been so open to connecting with Tea Cake on a deeper emotional level, she let her ideas of love be immortal and long lasting, just like a pear tree, because she didn’t allow her feelings to die, she is able to learn that marriage is about love, happiness, and business. Janie has her first experience of sexual awakening under the pear tree with Johnny Taylor very early into the story, Nanny sees this and tries to warn her that love is not what she thinks it is and begins to express her traditional ideals of love and marriage to Janie, explaining that love has very little to do with marriage and Janie…

    In a society based only on materialistic possessions, sometimes we overlook even the simplest of things, and the most valuable to our survival as a human race and as a planet. Everywhere around us people envy great architects and artists because of their remarkable creations. Though, we, as a human race disregard the importance of less tangible commodities, developed by the greatest artist ever, Mother Nature. She has given us the most magnificent and staggering artwork imaginable, our environment. But only through the most convoluted processes have these masterpieces been created. From humans to flowers and everything in between, a thorough process is behind everything. Before birth, for example, human must grow and develop through their three trimesters. Also before a plant is full-grown, it must first mature and survive as a seedling. Because although living creatures may be the most evident of Mother Nature's creations, there may be more to it.…
