  1. hello fello eytmologist. I like that you knew about Myth and its original meaning. Let me add to that with the word Daemon, which meant spirit. No suggestion of evil in its original usage either. Lets discuss more words and how their meaning and connotations change overtime :)

  2. all the historical record of every religion we know of also started out as cults.

  3. yay glad they added that cultus piece in the video. Thats what the scholarly definition of a cult refers to. Anyone that uses someform of ritual to venerate a percieved divine. It differs from the modern usage and definition of a cult, which carries highly negative connotations.
