This is the World We Live In ...

I've always known that this our species, Homo sapiens, is a dangerous one. In fact, there's a sign out there in space (when you approach this Solar System) that actually reads: Planet Earth - Attention! Species is Armed and Dangerous!
I've also suspected for quite some time that ours is a species that falsely regards itself as the pinnacle of evolution, although many members are not actually fit to vote, to have children, to understand the most basic principles of right and wrong, the difference between knowing and believing.

If I had the time, I could present daily proof of these allegations, but time - here on Earth in the 7th or 8th millennium of patriarchy - is too valuable a commodity.

Once in a while, however, I read something along these lines that I really need to share with others (sharing is good, I've heard, for both parties involved: You and Me).
The BBC article Hi-tech Holy Water Calms Flu Fear is one such item, and I really don't mean to smear the BBC - they are just reporting on the Cosmic Madhouse we're living in.

Goddesses of All Four Directions

Look what I found ... it's beautiful, even though this small image doesn't do justice to the detail of the original.
But go to the Goddess Timeline website and see a better version of this image, plus 3 others. Together, these 4 charts provide us with a well done visual timeline that shows many of the important and known Goddesses.
Seriously, I don't know the artist who made this, Constance Tippett, and I've no reason to promote her work ... but for the beauty of the idea and its execution.

Naturally, no one could prepare a chart with all the female deities that have been worshipped at one time or another by this or that culture ...
Even male Gods the world over number in the thousands, yet the number of Goddesses is even larger.
After all, the Goddess (and matriarchy) was there in the beginning, the Gods (and patriarchy) are a much later invention.

WOMAN by Neneh Cherry

Neneh Cherry: Woman (1996)

W.O.M.A.N. by Gina Cloud

As the subtitle promises, Gina Cloud's W.O.M.A.N. presents the reader with a redefinition of what each and every Woman could be: a Wild, Open, Magical, Authentically-empowered Nectar being - if only women themselves, and the society they live in, would let and encourage them to be thus self-fulfilled.

The book is a remarkable manifesto, written by a sparkling personality with a passionate voice; a mixture of daring vision, personal experience and a sharp, critical eye for the many facets of our society that seem to conspire to keep woman confined to a very limited set of stereotypes.

The author shows how, if WOMAN would redefine herself according to this new vision, she would rather be dancing wildly than be a 'good girl', would love and nurture her own self as well as others, could liberate herself from the various straightjackets that have been imposed not only by patriarchy but also by feminism, by the medical profession as well as the mainstream media, by church, state, neighbors, mothers, fathers and - worst of all - by the very men who profess to love Her.

This book is a perfect gift ... for yourself and others. Read it once, read it twice, and then leave it someplace where it will be found by husbands, lovers, sons or daughters. W.O.M.A.N. is mainly written for women, of course, but there's much in it all genders should know ...

Look for the book on Amazon

Let's hope you read German ...

... so I can recommend this new and amazing book
Swiss author Doris Wolf has all the details about how the patriarchy replaced the matriarchy ... not only in Egypt but more or less everywhere.

Here's my translation of the title: The Fight against Wisdom and Might of Egypts Primary, Matriarchal Culture - A Criminal History


The book can be ordered from this website: Dewe Verlag
