The goddess of ten thousand names.
I wanted to write about the goddess Isis for some time now, but felt like my understanding of her is too limited, and my perspective won’t do this powerful archetype a justice.

My Hopes for the Women's Division at WrestleMania 42
It's that time again, fellow wrestling fans! The Elimination Chamber came and went, and now, it's the home stretch on the road to WrestleMania. As a sports fan, I can't help but compare this to home stretch periods in sports, especially in the NHL and NBA, mainly because WM will take place as both playoffs start. As always, I'm always thinking of the women's action, but before I talk about the subject at hand, I have to get this off my chest.
