The word “kin” means “a group of persons descended from a common ancestor, and so connected by blood relationship; family, stock, clan; in OE. also, people, nation, tribe; = kind (n, OED, 2nd ed., s.v. “kin,” 1a).
This is what happens when you go from the old style of small size independent family farms to massive industries. They mass produce the animals, and animal products, and this leads to disease, cruel way of raising animals, and damage to environment. I think factory farming is horrific, unethical, and unsustainable. The animals deserve to be treated well, and be kept in a healthy, clean environment as natural as possible

Language is sorcery. He who controls the language, controls the people who use this language. Language has the power to shape thoughts.
Although I believe in our modern world language is used as a tool to lower human consciousness, and keep people enslaved, it could be used to do the opposite. I believe language can be used to enlighten people, and elevate human consciousness.
If this tool/knowledge can be used for selfish reasons, used against the people, it can probably be used for good reasons as well. Maybe it depends on the intentions, morality, and level of consciousness of the one who wields this tool/knowledge.

I’m starting to learn a little more about the Armenian side of my heritage. I’m spilt in half ethnically. Slavic & Armenian. I’ve always felt that Armenians were different from other middle eastern populations most of whom are now Muslim. I’m trying to uncover the reason why Muslim nations have been trying hard to wipe out the Armenians. Just in the last few hundred years, the Muslim Turks & Azerbaijanis tried to exterminate Armenians.

I’m passionate about reclaiming wild plants and “weeds” as the important ancestral foods and medicines that they are, so I’m thrilled people are reconnecting with our oldest and most primal …

Dragons can be both good and bad, but in this instance it should be obvious that St. George's slaying of the dragon is a metaphor of Christianity triumphing over the English Saxon pagans, whose symbol was the white dragon. This story would have been easily transferable due to the fact we had our own dragon-slaying heroes like Beowulf and Sigurd.
Notice how every Christian who's committed some atrocity against our people whether it's Charlemagne, Boniface, Olaf Tryggvason, George, Nicholas of Bari, etc all have been given the highest possible ranking title within Christianity. Should tell you everything you need to know.

This image of Saint George slaying the dragon/serpent is on the wall of almost every Russian Orthodox Church. I’ve been trying learn more about the true meaning of this image.
I agree with the part about it being a metaphor for church triumphing over the English Saxon pagans who used a symbol of the white dragon, but I believe this religious image represents that, plus something even bigger.
I think the symbol of dragon/serpent being slayed by St. George maybe a representation of the whole old pagan world, or old world order. The reason why I say this, is because serpent/dragon worship, symbolism, mythology was part of many old world pre-Christian, pre-monotheistic cultures, nations, tribes, orders, societies, beliefs, traditions, spiritual teachings & practices. It was everywhere before the new world order (Abrahamic religions) dominated the old world.
Same applies to Saint Patrick going over to Ireland, and chasing all the snakes away from the land.
There is also some mention in the Bible of Lucifer being a dragon
