Ragnarok
Wodan sat back in his High Seat as he looked back over the last ten years. The mess known as Discovery Center had been eliminated and Midgard was free....... Morgan vividly remembered the conversation that he and his sister had with his goddess birth mother, the Morrigan, and Freya before the Discovery Center assault. Morgan found out that, had Freya had a different disposition, she would have been chosen as his goddess birth mother and not the Morrigan. That fact did not sit well with him, when he considered that Freya wanted to seduce him to piss off the Morrigan....... Freya had picked up the slack for Sunny, preforming the various duties that fell to Sunny after her mother Gina's death.

From the Enemy's Point of View
The Araweté are one of the few Amazonian peoples who have maintained their cultural integrity in the face of the destructive forces of European imperialism. In this landmark study, anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro explains this phenomenon in terms of Araweté social cosmology and ritual order.
