Ashera wrote:Btw.: the Essie Parish quote is a machine back translation from German, I never had the English original text.
This small quote implies a lot that she only could know intuitively because she lacked access to literature or it was not even written yet. The early date of her initiation dream (1972) speaks for its authenticity. Maybe this was the reason that it took years to publish it?
And if you are up to Pythia now keep in mind Apollo and the dogs...
The earliest to me known knot of the Whitewater Nexus was 1973.
I never expected that I had to become a Huntress (surely some Artemis and Ashera stories are mixed up).
I am not a shaman in that sense, I am a Völva and have no idea how this mythem fits into the Indian pattern (sociologically genderized)...
I am convinced that all this had/has to do with the "End of the Twins Cycle".

"There, in the swinging hills, you hear a lot of things, and I ran and ran until I got to a jetty. To my right were quite a lot of people; They were naked and screaming, 'How do you get over there, we want to get over there, but we can't get any further here. Please come and help us cross, the water is too deep for us.' I didn't notice them, I just ran and ran, and then I heard an animal. It sounded like a big dog, and there was a big dog and next to him a big woman in blue clothes, and I decided to go straight through it. I did, and the dog just growled at me. Never go back."

Any socializing idea was attributed to me.
The way I tried to show is initiation and individuation.

What does it mean, the "century of the self"?
That you want to socialize the creator?

Annoying and rather hindering were the "social prognoses" that were carried after me like dung buckets since my youth, mainly based on gossip and hearsay. To defeat all this I decided after the Heligoland expedition in 2005 (CAT 1) to start with psychoanalysis to put an individual diagnosis against it - peaking in a not expected diagnosis of exclusion in 2009.
I bet that already now alone the phone costs exceed the sum in question. It is a strategy that ends in "informal slavery" based on civil law, glueing debts to your heels you never had an idea of...

Ashera wrote:In Lower Saxony (...) a ship-shaped Stone Age rock monument
(probably errected between 4000 - 3000 BC) can be visited where a certain rock attracts
particular attention. It lies on another stone table and is obviously processed in a special
manner. Departing from an almost flat and round rock of about 1,50 m in diameter, the
ancient artists/explorers created a broken shape by removing two triangular rock pieces from
the left and the right side (see below) of the structure. This way they got two similar shaped
halfs that they provided with drill holes, one hole in the “above” half, and two holes in the
“below” half.
The whole structure is suggestive of the stool of Pythia; from her is said that she sat on a
three-legged stool (a bronze tripod) above an abyss in order to get in trance and to
contemplate about present, past and future. Pythia bridged the abyss with her body and soul
and connected the separate halfs during her altered states of consciousness. Thus she
included the third or the middle that is separated or excluded in normal or every day life, this
is: it has no function in a “normal” and abstinent top-down order.
In general the Pythia is seen as the cardinal priestess at Apollo's oracle in Delphi. But the
name Pythia comes from Python, this is the dragon that was slain by Apollo, and this gives
strong evidence that the Pythia originally was an office originating in the cult of Gaia (earth).
Python's death at the hand of Apollo then symbolized a change in oracles at Delphi. This is,
she developed into a vehicle of Apollo's will to be known to those on earth (usually read as
„what his [Apollo’s] will is”).
The Pythia sat in the adytum, the inner or sacred chamber of Apollo's temple.
Some mythic traditions say that Pythia's trance was induced by vapors from a chasm below
the temple (the abyss), or from chewing “laurel” leaves. Functioning as a middleman, a priest
would interpret the Pythia's response for the questioner.
The “Homeric Hymn to Pythian Aopllo” is an excellent source for the story of Apollo founding
the temple at Delphi “anew” and his intention to
“welcome the tribes of mankind who gather here, and tell them most important of all, what
will is” but it makes no mention of the Pythia.
Theognis is the first to mention the Pythia, and the second is Aeschylus in his play
“Eumenides”. The first two lines of Eumenides open with the prophetess’s reference to Gaia
as the original god of the temple at Delphi.
It seems that the Wildeshausen structure may have had a similar meaning.
A more recent variation of the theme can be visited in Ireland, near Newgrange. Here the
three “principles” are worked out as carved spirals.
The asymmetry of the complete structure is obvious. While the “right” sub-structure looks
harmonious and symmetric, the left spiral looks added or attached - as if it would not belong
to the spiral eight on the right side. It apparently disturbs the functional elegance of an
eternal - or tautological - system consisting of two basic symmetric “principles”, where the
third appears as excluded. But not only that: a closer look shows that the singular spiral on
the left side feeds or is feeded by the eight structure on the right with some kind of “energy”
that is represented as two lines that lead to the in each case other structure.
A Swedish rock painting (near Bradstad) shows some hour-glass-like signs, one cardinal with
a cloumn of points. It seems likely that something was counted here, perhaps months, years,
goods, humans and/or stars. The hour glass is the archetype of the rune “mannaz”,
connected to Mannus, who was seen as the watcher of heaven’s gate.
The basic Runic term of mannaz or Mannus is “ma”, this is “measure”,
derived from IndoEuropean “mn-s” or “men” with the meaning “to think something over”,
to imagine, to think bright. The term “ma” is also related to the Irish-Celtic god Mananan Mac Lir,
god of the sea and the dead, who indeed represented the heavenly waters and the moon as the place of the
dead. But it is also said that he brought the drowned ones to the blissful island. The surf
waves were called “horses of Mac Lir”. His relation to death and rebirth is further expressed
by the magical food of his ever refilling moon kettle, giving immortality and invisibility to the gods.

And then in 2008 the terror started... no chance to work my experiences into the text - I had lost my home.
But at least to my cognitive universe of discourse a connection of Tara and the broken shape was obvious...
