From fiery sacrifices to viral memes, the divine narrative of humanity has been anything but dull. Holy Yesterday Mythical Tomorrow: How Religions Become Myth is a bold, darkly comedic exploration of the lifecycle of faith and a thought-provoking follow-up to Ricky Firman’s acclaimed book, Holy Olympics: Religions War for Relevance and Dominance. While Holy Olympics tackled the competitive struggle of religions to assert their dominance in a modern world, this sequel shifts focus to the inevitable transformation of those same faiths into mythology. In this latest work, Ricky examines how gods are born from humanity's fears, ignorance, and creativity, only to be retired to the realms of myth when time, progress, and logic outpace their relevance. This book dissects the rise and fall of deities across civilizations—from the grandeur of Zeus’s thunderbolts to the eerie rituals of Mesoamerican gods—and speculates how the gods worshipped today might fare in the distant future. With biting wit and incisive commentary, Ricky connects the sacred to the satirical, revealing the absurdity of divine politics, the commodification of faith, and the endless human quest for meaning. As humanity marches forward with science and technology as its new priests, Holy Yesterday Mythical Tomorrow ponders the cosmic irony of how ancient beliefs persist in the age of information. The book culminates in a speculative, hilarious vision of what the gods of tomorrow might look like in a world ruled by AI, aliens, and billionaire messiahs. Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or something in between, this book will provoke, entertain, and challenge your view of religion and its inevitable transformation into myth. Because, in the end, the sacred and the absurd have always been partners in humanity's eternal cosmic joke.

What happens if God visits an atheist? Not with lightning. Not with commandments. Just… awkward conversation. In this irreverent, soul-poking novel, an exhausted writer who stopped believing in anything—except maybe coffee and quiet despair—gets an unexpected visitor: God. No robe. No glowing beard. No booming voice. Just unsolicited divine company at inconvenient hours. As the visits pile up like cosmic therapy sessions gone rogue, they spar over grief, morality, silence, and the absurd idea that the universe has a plan. The writer wants closure. God wants conversation. Neither gets what they came for—but neither walks away unchanged. Darkly funny and quietly devastating, this isn’t a story about finding religion. It’s about what’s left when you’ve stopped looking—and God still shows up anyway.

This Is Everything I Never Said is a collection of quiet heartbreaks, soft goodbyes, and the truths we carry when no one’s listening. Written in fragments, letters, and poems that feel more like whispered confessions, this book is for anyone who has ever loved in silence, grieved without closure, or held back the words they were never brave enough to say. Once shared under the hashtag #RFnotes, these pieces have lived through lost conversations, untold stories, and years of emotional survival. Now, they are here—for you. If you’ve ever waited for a message that never came, if you’ve ever let someone go without saying everything, if you’re still healing from something that never had a name—this book understands. And maybe, just maybe, it says what you’ve been trying to say, too.

God came over. And never really left. What began as an unexpected visit becomes something far stranger—a prolonged stay, uninvited yet oddly welcome. In When God Stayed Over, an atheist wakes each morning to find divinity still lingering in the guest chair, sipping coffee and offering unsolicited reflections on mortality, love, cloud formations, and the unbearable intimacy of silence. They don’t debate faith. They coexist in it—or perhaps in its absence. There are no miracles, no conversions, no heavens opening. Just two beings—one uncertain, one eternal—sharing space, sharing time, and avoiding the bigger questions with alarming grace. In this hauntingly humorous sequel to When God Came Over, Ricky Firman delivers a meditation on companionship without belief, presence without proof, and the strange peace that arrives when neither side wins—and neither leaves. Because sometimes, God doesn’t knock. And sometimes, God doesn’t leave. And sometimes, that’s the whole point.

What if every version of you still existed somewhere—waiting, watching, wondering who the real one is? The Echoes of Me is not a tale of multiverse heroics. It is a quiet collision of memory and possibility—a journey through lives unlived, words unsaid, and selves forgotten. In this haunting, deeply personal novel, a writer finds himself wandering between realities, meeting the infinite variations of who he could have been. Some are thriving. Some are broken. One is missing entirely. Each chapter is a new life. Each life is a mirror. Some crack. Some shatter. All reflect something true. This is not a quest to change the past. It is an act of bearing witness—to grief, guilt, healing, and the fragile thread of identity that binds every echo together. From childhood fears to grown-up regrets, from strangers in familiar faces to confrontations with the self, The Echoes of Me is a story for anyone who’s ever asked, “What if I had turned left instead of right?”—and then stayed awake long into the night, listening for the answer. This isn’t science fiction. It’s soul fiction.

From the household cat to horses that can fly, a surprisingly wide range of animals feature in religions and mythologies all across the world. The same animal can take on different roles: the raven can be a symbol of evil, a harbinger of death, a wise messenger or a shape-changing trickster. In Norse mythology, Odin's magical ravens perch on his shoulders and bring him news. This compendium draws upon religious texts and myths to explore the ways sacred traditions use animal images, themes and associations in rituals, ceremonies, texts, myths, literature and folklore across the world. Sections are organized by the main animal classifications such as mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians and insects. Each chapter covers one significant grouping (such as dogs, cats or horses), first describing an animal scientifically and then detailing the mythological attributes. Numerous examples cite texts or myths. A final section covers animal hybrids, animal monsters and mythical animals as well as stars, constellations and Zodiac symbols. An appendix describes basic details of the religions and mythologies covered. A glossary defines uncommon religious terms and explains scientific animal names.

In this volume, which was first published in 1954, some forty-odd myths collected at various Pomo settlements are given clearly and concisely by Cora Clark and Texa Bowen Williams. It includes a separate section in which the sister authors provide a partial analysis of the myths based upon the interpretations given them by the storytellers. The meanings attributed to the tales include much nature symbolism: coyote, in an abbreviated creation myth, for example, is said to represent earth; Frog Woman, water; Kingfisher, air; and the Lizard, fire. In other tales, the number four is said to represent the growth principle; arrows, heat rays; and so on. This type of symbolism has not been attributed to the Pomo in previous discussions, and is thus represented here for the first time. A fascinating addition to the literature on Pomo mythology!
