Rhine River

Rhine River, Düsseldorf, Germany: A Meandering Journey Through Culture, History, and Everyday Wonder One of the amazing places where I've explored the Rhine was in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Thousands of years of evolved belief systems around this central focus. Across ancient and modern cultures, the idea of a supreme being (or numerous Deities and/or Spirits) watching over the living world has shaped stories, rituals, and how we speak to the things around us.
