"Haida mythology's Hetgwauge"

my apologies - I am new to using the talk/forum section.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell : "African hells include Haida mythology's Hetgwauge and the hell of Swahili mythology (kuzimu).[19]"

Unless Haida also refers to an obscure African group, Haida almost universally refers to a North American west coast indigenous group. The reference in the footnote makes no mention of Haida or Hetgwauge, not can I find other sources to verify "Haida" or "Hetgwauge" as connected to Africa (other than sources which paste the same phase from the Wikipedia article). It seems logical, at a minimum, to delete Haida mythology's Hetgwauge and" from the article. Should I just go ahead and do that, or is does this need to be discussed first?

Heck is a suburb of hell

I understand that this isn't Google, but ask for a little slack here. In National Lampoon c. 1984 there was a short letter that contained the line Heck is a suburb of hell. I've Googled for hours and am pretty sure it was in the O.C. & Stiggs issue. I'm grasping at straws. --SlimJim^Talk

Japanese Buddhism Depiction of Hell

Hell Scrolls depict seven out of the sixteen lesser hells presented in Kisekyō ("Sutra of the World Arising"). Six of the paintings are accompanied by text, which all begin with the phrase "There is yet another hell", following a description of what the sinners depicted did to end up in this particular hell. Made in the hell century, it is considered one of the earlier visual representations of compartmentalizing the deceased based on karma retribution from sins during life.

"According to Jewish teachings, hell is not entirely physical; rather, it can be compared to a very intense feeling of shame." - citation needed Wezeg (talk) 14:34, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalizing hell?

Should hell/Hell be capitalized or not? The article has it uncapitalized, so why shouldn't it be? Coulomb1 (talk) 01:04, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
