Balladeer’s Blog’s recent look at The Gods of Fiji has been a hit! For another deity from Fiji here is Kambuya, whom I also went ahead and added to the main article. For more than 20 other gods from Fiji see my blog post HERE
KAMBUYA – A god who can send fair weather or rain showers to the world. The center of Kambuya’s worship was Rewa (see photo). It was forbidden to touch a large rock which was sacred to this deity. Anyone foolish enough to touch it would be punished by Kambuya by contracting leprosy.
The god had a mild tricksterish side, too, and would sometimes put obstacles in the way of hungry people headed for a feast. Anyone who arrived late for the event was laughed at as a victim of Kambuya’s practical jokes and would be served last. Continue reading
Here at Balladeer’s Blog I often cover the way the Democrats have for years been driving away so many of us who used to belong to their political party. They have become nothing but intolerant fascists who think they’re entitled to inflict and promote violence against everyone who expresses disagreement with them. 
It may be my fondness for mythology that makes me love to watch particular movies around particular holidays. I say that because many of the well- known myths were recited on ancient holidays when their subject matter was relevant to those holidays. The stories helped accentuate the meaning of the special events and that’s the way I use various movies. 
FORT GRISWOLD – Fort Griswold was an American fortess on Groton Heights in Connecticut overlooking the Thames River. On September 6th, 1781 the American traitor General Benedict Arnold and his British troops raided Groton and burned New London while battling the massively outnumbered Rebel troops in the fort. 
Here at Balladeer’s Blog I’m still fascinated with the ongoing political developments here in America under our de facto Third Party President Donald Trump. The crazed Democrats thrive on driving away more and more of us. Their latest disgusting act was trying to blame President Trump for the shooting at that Annapolis newspaper but it turned out that the alleged shooter – Jarrod Ramos – had a feud with the newspaper going back several years. Nothing to do with Trump in other words. 
Bobby Hesley is another of Balladeer’s Blog’s Martin Luther King People of Courage who fit that description. A link to Hesley’s latest piece is below but first some excerpts: 
CAPTAIN SILAS TALBOT – Even if he had never gone on to a career in Privateering, Talbot would still have been a fascinating figure from Revolutionary War history. On June 28th, 1775 Silas was commissioned as a Captain in a Rhode Island regiment and served in the military operations which ended with the British surrender of Boston in March of 1776. 
NEW YORK – 1. William Floyd – Prior to being sent to the 2nd Continental Congress in 1776 Floyd was a Militia General who, earlier in the year, had led New York troops in successfully driving off British forces in the Battle of Gardiner’s Bay on Long Island.
