introduction

Hello, my is Zippo Hernandez. My Hobby's are playing video games with my friends and I'll play board games with my family if we all decided to have a game night. There's also movie, tv shows and TV series.

I'll be writing about video games 90% of the time but I might write about my other Hobby's.

Sincerely, Zippo

 ❤ Definitions ❤            You read that right. Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) has been found to help with mental illness recovery. If you haven’t already read “Can Fighting Dragons Help Your Autism”, read that first and come back here. (Here’s the link if you need it: [link] )              An article in the Australian Psychologist called “Defeating dragons and demons: consumers’ perspectives on mental health recovery in role-playing games” (a mouthful, I know) interviewed 13 participants in various stages of mental health and found that D&D played a significant role in their recovery.    ❤ Definitions ❤             Okay, let’s get a quick definition out of the way.

A History of Paganism | From the Ancient to the Modern

We're on to History. I know, fascinating subject.  Paganism is an old practice, dating back pretty much to the beginnings of civilization.However, it wasn't always called that. The term "pagan" actually comes from the Latin word pagus meaning "country dweller" (EtymOnline).

Julian the Apostate is thought to be the last Roman emperor who made a version of paganism the official religion of Rome. Rome was a polytheistic state with a vast pantheon. That all changed when Julian died in Persia (Gill).  Taking Over After Julian's death, a man named Saturninius Secundus Salutius (say that three times fast) was supposed to take over, but he didn't want the job. So it went to a Christian named Jovian. Many se

But this post isn’t about just playing D&D; it’s about using it for therapy. ❤Drama Therapy or Play Therapy ❤             A Graduate Project by Avery Chaplan-Hoang was posted in the Concordia University Library site. Written in 2021, it’s a very recent publication. If you want to read it for yourself, i
