Poking around

The inspiration for my name comes from Dante's Inferno. The 8th circle of hell is called "Malebolge", and herein lies 10 trenches that are called "Bolgias". The particular bolgia that interests me is Bolgia 4. Why?

Quote:
Bolgia Four: Astrologers, seers, sorcerers and others who attempted to pervert God’s laws to divine the future are punished here. Their heads have been twisted around to face backwards, and thus they are forced to walk backwards around the circumference of their circle for all eternity.

I figure this is where my soul will burn when I finally go to hell.

Hi folks, I came to this website for a particular piece of information, but upon reflection I see that there are a wide array of spiritual practices and traditions that I can collect leads and learn a lot from. I've kind of found myself inadvertently getting into an informal comparative religious study, and I think this place is a gold mine in that regard. Going to be poking around to see what I can find.

Hi Bolga! I loved Dante’s Inferno. I often refer to difficult situations as one of the bolgas!

This is an interesting forum with some very helpful people �� enjoy!

Hi Bolgia,

Welcome to the forum, hope you find what you are looking for while poking around the forum. Interesting where you took your username from.

I also agree with what ad infinitum said about difficult situations.
