0:00.0	You're listening to the ancient tradition. A Wonk Media production. Music provided by Joseph McDade. Here's your host, Dr. Jack Logan.
0:28.6	Welcome to the ancient tradition. I'm your host, Jack Logan. A special welcome to all of our new
0:35.1	listeners. It's great to have you along with us. And as always,

1:49.0	It's the battle that took place in the divine council before the earth was formed.
1:53.6	Two episodes ago in episode number 22, the wounded hero, we noted that one of the most

2:01.8	tradition is the wounds that are sustained by the beloved son during his battle with the rebel
