If you go in the forest do not take your demons with you. You may get cured... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Inhale the clouds Drink from Earth's nipples Be the same in the storm Be the same in the cold You are more than you ever thought You are! A monk living in the forest (in the cave when it's raining) He does random defense and atack very rarely. He does not mix with people, his quest is inside him. Needs? No!.His goal is not to have needs # Zamolxe: the ancient (maybe still alive) thracian priest, ruler or god (depend on the sources) Mentioned as Zamolxe, Zamolxis, Zalmoxe.
Herodotus sais that Zalmoxis was really a man, formerly a disciple of Pythagoras, who taught him the "sciences of the skies" at Samos. Zalmoxis was manumitted and amassed great wealth, returned to his country and instructed his people, the Thracs, about the immortality of the soul. According to Herodotus, at one point Zalmoxis traveled to Egyptand brought the people mystic knowledge about the immortality of the
soul, teaching them that they would pass at death to a certain place
where they would enjoy all possible blessings for all eternity. Zalmoxis then had a subterranean chamber constructed (other accounts say that it was a natural cave) on the holy mountain of Kogaion, to which he withdrew for three years. After his disappearance, he was considered dead and mourned by his
people, but after three years he showed himself once more to the Thracians,
who were thus convinced about his teachings: an episode that some
considered to be a resurrection (Thus he can be seen a life-death-rebirth deity, parallel to Tammuz or Jesus.) Plato says in dialogue that Zalmoxis was also a great physician who took a holistic approach to healing body and mind; not just the body, as was the Greek practice.
