You probably haven’t heard of Julian of Norwich, whose first-person account of religious visions – Revelations of Divine Love – is the earliest surviving book in English written by a woman (We hadn’t). JSTOR Daily shares her tale, including her theological rendering of Jesus Christ as a nurturing mother figure.

We’re not here to debate theology, but to recommend that you refashion a god of your choice in a radically different image than the one we’re used to. What if Cthulhu was the originator of the parable of the loaves and fishes? Zeus the adoptive father of the malformed offspring of god and humans, rather than serial sex offender?
