a myth or fairy tale is a distilled map of the psyche. it's not arbitrary, it's not "just made up," it's not mad libs. if you're making a change to express something coherent about the map, great. but you can't do it well without understanding what it is & respecting the original

"You are ambiguous and feline. You seem like a young panther, thirsty for blood, crouching among monstrous flowers, ready to pounce on your victims... Your hands and your hair exude the scent of roses."
— Isaac Muñoz, The Shadow of an Infanta (Dionysiac)
“Lenten ys come with love to toune” is a 14th c. Middle English poem written by Anon whose speaker wanders, lonely in springtime, crying about how every creature has a mate but for himself.
Middle English poets loved embedding ironies within ironies, so it would have been a sign of his undue preoccupation with sex that at the arrival of Lent, he’s fixed on the animals making merry with their mates.
Further, after setting up comparisons between blooming nature, vibrant and lovely animals, and his own desolation, in the final stanza (below) he decides on the worm (a symbol of humility before God in the Psalms,) an image he sets against, or below, the women who grow wondrously proud.
Medievals glorified holy celibacy as an ideal, but made mocking lyric out of one who would say,
“Moody ones complain, and yet do more —
I know, for I am one of those —
Of love that hardly pleases.”
We do grow horns, although not just from the accumulation of knowledge, but how knowledge is understood and put to use, potentiated into being. Gurdjieff describes horns as the sign of one’s gradation of Reason.
The gods were described as horned, even as an epithet to denote one was a god. They were said to be made of aithir. Moses is represented as having effusions of light from his head like horns. The ‘horns of Amun’ of the brain, in Ancient Egyptian anatomy, are a pinnacle example of what Lubicz describes as the purpose of Luxor, echoing the Delphic Maxim, to ‘know thyself and thou wilt know the Universe and the Gods’.
8000 year old Shaman ritual garb and Beelzebub’s Tales passage dramatizing a ritual restoration of horns, attained through conscious labours and intentional sufferings, related:
“There wouldn't be a need for emphasis in any other time of history lmao”
Why is it I keep hearing this talking point from "Catholic" foids?
"Ahem you don't need to empathize submission if you deserve it will happen".
I keep hearing it especially from the most blatantly feminist ones too. The ones who loathe anything other than modern egalitarian relationships.
It just seems to me like a way to avoid the issue and tbh I do think they deep down they're deceiving themselves. There wouldn't be a need for emphasis in any other time of history lmao

Bee Maidens
Every other year, however, the god of the lower sanctuary went into exile and the ritual reverted to the site of the ancient Corycian wolf cave. Meanwhile another deity stood in for him as a surrogate substitute for a ritual regression to the old rites of ecstatic possession and lycanthropy. He turned over the sanctuary to one of his brothers, either Hermes or Dionysus.
These revels are commemorated in the column of the dancing three bacchant Thyiades that once stood before the god’s Temple. The priestesses of the cave ritual were named as three bee-maidens, a designation rich in metaphoric symbolism, inasmuch bees not only display the matriarchal society of the hive, but also set the pattern for herbalists, gathering the nectar of flowers to produce honey with its implication of mellifluous shamanic speech, but also the toxins of their sting.
In this regard, they are analogous to serpents in antiquity, whose sting came from the flowers they ate, and they conversely transferred their toxins to the plants in their vicinity. Honey was the source of the earliest fermented intoxicant as mead, which is cognate with ‘mad,’ ‘mania,’ and the source of the common word for ‘drunk’ in Greek. The first Temple at Delphi was remembered as a beehive, such as is commemorated in the fifth-century BCE thólos Temple in the Pronaos sanctuary, below the Apollonian Temple complex.

It's at least a little insane that in mystery cults you could do a ritual and at the "moment of revelation" behold some objects/σύμβολα, get oneshotted by them and promptly exit present reality
These were a technology, systematized, replicable
You can just close the screen lmao

Mother Mary is a symbol of divine parthenogenesis, the production of humanity solely from the foid's own anatomical networks. Of course people worship her, she's an atavistic callback to hetaerism, the roaming daughter realms prior to steppe othanists inverting everything

"teach women not to make porn"
Someone should have taught Brooke Shields not to do a nude photoshoot when she was 10yo
Someone should have taught her not to do a nude kissing scene with a 29yo man when she was 12 (the 29yo man was just going off his biology, can't blame him)
Women should have taught the male judge who struck down Brooke's lawsuit to get those photos out of circulation to stop defending child porn as free speech
Someone should have taught Linda Lovelace to not get beaten by her husband into making Deep Throat
Someone should have taught the victims in academic research that half of all prostituted and trafficked women who were filmed for pornography while being sexually abused to not traffick themselves
Someone should have taught the 60% of human trafficking victims found specifically within the online pornography industry who were literal children to simply turn down the job offer
Someone should have taught the tens of thousands of women whose intimate videos were uploaded without consent to GirlsDoPorn - run by women like Michael Pratt, Matthew Wolfe, and Ruben Andre Garcia - to simply not trust a multi-million dollar fraud operation run by men who are just going off their biology
The men who buy child porn and line up to see these films and make the industry profitable aren't the problem
The problem is we don't teach women like Hugh Hefner, Larry Flynt, Bob Guccione, Tim Stokely, Leonid Radvinsky, Matt Keezer, Ouissam Youssef, and Stephane Manos to not found, finance, run, and operate companies like PornHub, Hustler, Penthouse, Aylo, or OnlyFans
Replying to @freyaindiaa @FamStudies
Women cannot object to what they are voluntarily filming, producing, and distributing. To do so is hypocrisy. Women frequently claim their ability to make porn is female liberation, agency, and empowerment, while simultaneously objecting to it because it hinders women’s attempts to starve men of sex, thereby amplifying the power they feel when they weaponize sex against men.
If women want porn abolished, they cannot merely object to it. They must commit to publicly shaming every member of the sisterhood who spreads her legs in front of a camera, in the most hostile manner possible, so that it instills fear in other women who do not want to be shamed. AND they must shame other married women who weaponize sex against their husbands and deny them sex.

Only in the constant is there depth. And further the path and eternity is closer, And ever clearer: love is one. We pay for love with our blood But a faithful soul is faithful, And we love with one love... Love is one, as death is one

동양 연금술에서 우로보로스는 뱀로 끝나지 않는다. 뱀은 빛을 받아 금으로 만든다. 가루다가 탄생하여 용뱀이 죽고 봉황의 여의주가 탄생한다. 금강살타가 탄생한다.
The oldest image of eternity is a snake eating its own tail.
The earliest known Ouroboros is in Egypt, on one of the gilded shrines of Tutankhamun (14th century BC), where serpents with their tails in their mouths encircle a mysterious figure in a funerary text about the Sun's journey through the underworld. The circle protects what is inside it while it is being renewed.
The Greek alchemists took it over. In the Chrysopoeia of Cleopatra the serpent surrounds the words hen to pan, "One is All." The Work begins and ends in the same matter. What devours is what is devoured, and the end feeds the beginning.
Gematria in English ordinal: OUROBOROS = 15+21+18+15+2+15+18+15+19 = 138.
Jung saw it as the psyche digesting itself, the shadow integrated rather than cut off. The chemist Kekulé is said to have dreamed of a snake biting its tail before working out the ring of benzene, although historians debate how much of that story is true.
Whatever you refuse to consume will keep circling back. The serpent finishes the circle by swallowing itself.
