Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

In the context of both the Bible and the "Stargate" franchise, the shift from "Aschen" to "Ashan" is quite intriguing, as it intersects with both religious and fictional symbolism.
Aschen in the Bible:
In biblical terms, "Aschen" does not appear as a direct name or reference in the canonical scriptures. However, there may be a phonetic link to "Ashen," which can refer to something related to ashes, or perhaps even a derived term from Old Testament references. In biblical symbolism, ashes often signify mourning, repentance, and humility, particularly in the ritual of sitting in ashes as a sign of repentance (e.g., in the Book of Daniel, or during the practice of "Ash Wednesday" in Christian traditions).
Aschen in Stargate:
The Aschen are a fictional alien race in the Stargate SG-1 series. They are portrayed as advanced but manipulative and ultimately genocidal. The Aschen were initially introduced as a promising ally to Earth, but it is revealed they have a darker agenda, manipulating Earth to help them colonize the planet for their own purposes. The Aschen represent a cautionary tale about the dangers of trusting seemingly benevolent forces that have hidden motives. In this sense, their symbolism could be seen as an allegory for deceit, hidden agendas, or the moral consequences of advanced technology without empathy or ethical grounding.
Ashan (or Ashan) in Stargate:
While "Ashan" does not appear as a major term in Stargate SG-1, it could be interpreted as a symbolic variation or distortion of "Aschen," possibly designed to evoke a more positive or neutral connotation. In fictional narratives, small name changes often shift meaning or imply a different context, so "Ashan" could symbolically represent an alternate or redeemed version of what the "Aschen" originally represented (as with a potential character or planet who defies the negative legacy of the Aschen). If this is what you’re referring to, the shift from "Aschen" to "Ashan" could symbolize a departure from the corrupt nature associated with the Aschen, moving toward a more hopeful or morally upright entity or force.
Possible Symbolism:
From Deception to Redemption: The transition from "Aschen" to "Ashan" could represent a symbolic shift from the corrupt or malevolent use of power (as seen with the Aschen's manipulation of Earth) to a more positive or redemptive force. Transformation of Identity: A name change often signifies a change in character or destiny. In a biblical or spiritual sense, this could be seen as an illustration of repentance, renewal, or the potential for an individual or entity to undergo a moral or spiritual transformation.
The Dangers of False Alliances: If interpreted with the context of Stargate, the "Aschen" may represent deceptive alliances or false saviors, while "Ashan" could symbolize a more genuine or cautionary approach to trust and relationships.
