| | Genius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In this context, the plural of "genius" is "geniuses." The form "genii," the plural of the word in Latin, is the plural of a different kind of genius: the aforementioned guardian spirit of Roman mythology. | | | Intellectual geniuses usually have crisp, clear-eyed visions of given situations, in which interpretation is unnecessary—the facts just hit them, and they build or act on the basis of those facts, usually with tremendous energy. | | | Kant's discussion of the characteristics of genius is largely contained within the Critique of Judgement and was well received by the romantics of the early 19th century. |

| | Astral Worship |
| | The first month, dedicated to the genius known in the mythology as Janus, and from which was derived the name January, was portrayed with two faces, the one of an old man looking mournfully backward over the old year, and the other of a young man looking joyfully forward to the new year. | | | Of all the divinities of the ancient mythology God Sol was the only one distinguished by the exalted title of Lord or Lord God, for the reason that he was made the organizer of chaos and governor of heaven and earth. | | | Hence, designating him as the Mighty Hunter, and calling his exploits the twelve labors, they made the incarnate Saviours the heroes of similar ones on earth, which they taught were performed for the good of mankind; and that, after fulfilling their earthly mission, they were exhaled to heaven through the agency of fire. |

| | The Asteroids in Astrology with Cathy Burroughs |
| | The appearance of four powerful female goddess archetypes: Ceres (mother/the Universal Mother); Juno (partner/Queen of Heaven/ Divine Consort); Vesta (sister, High Priestess) and Pallas Athene (daughter/genius/warrior/Goddess of Wisdom) made a powerful impact on the previously male dominated astrological kingdom. | | | Juno, goddess of marriage and guardian of childbirth, represents all aspects of partnership, particularly as spouse, and has a distinctly Scorpionic overtone, due to her tendency towards jealousy and possessiveness. | | | In Roman mythology, Ceres, also known in Greek, as Demeter (deriving from da mater or earth mother) was goddess of agriculture and the harvest, as well as being the mother of Persephone. |

In Muslim mythology, this demon is a "jenni" or "genni," while in Roman mythology genius is a guardian or tutelary spirit assigned to the person at birth. | | | Among the notable characteristics of the genius is the tendency to be self-taught, a capacious and very accurate memory, and creative ability. | | | The true genius becomes evident at a very early age and is known as a child prodigy; many well-known names in history will be found to have been child prodigies. |
