Today starts and will end on 29th september Muin's arboreal month, the vine, then linked to the Vendemmia and - more general - to the autumnal nature. But also the effects of the good wine produce on people: happiness, carelessness, joy but also toxicity, angry and danger.
It rappresents the period between autumn equinox and all of works linked to: working activities, the second harvest, the preparing of the food to store during winter, etc. At large, Muin reppresents the master through which the knowledge comes, the one who make us try hard to gain a higher level of our personal growth.

We all know who was responsible for that… right?
At the end Deathmask looked at Saga and he started laughing.
The greatness of Apollo in Rome was not just about arts, but politics and military, since he was tutelary deity of Republican Court.
When, in 36 bC, Octavian August won against Sexus Pompey's troops, he thanked Apollo for his providential action and so built a temple on Palatine Hill. The choice of the place upon which was guided by a divine manifastion, e.g in the same place where a lightning fell inside an August's property on Palatine Hill.
Inside the temple (it says that it had ivory doors and magnificent bas-reliefs) there was a sculptural group, object of worship: Apollo, his sister Diana and their mother Leto.
There were kept Sibylline Books, because Apollo was also God of Divination.
