Nature works in coordinated cycles, and when a harmonious cycle is destroyed, a cycle of destruction will take its place. Because patriarchal cooperate with nature, following religions and secular men have refused ideologies based on defiance and contempt for the earth, they have now almost destroved our chances of survival on earth. It took 1,500 million years for the first living organisms to change the atmosphere so that animal life could begin to be possible. But patriarchy has destroyed so much in relatively no time at all. roughly in two thousand years. At increasing speeds today, forests are cut down, water poisoned, the air polluted, the soil ruined. The point is that such devastation could happen only by way of male-dominated religions and cultural ideologies based on hostility toward the earth's cyclic processes. For at least 500,000 years human beings survived as pagans, not because they were savage and stupid, as the missionaries of all patriarchal religions would have US believe but because "Pagan" means "of the land"-it is a spiritual orientation that linked people, body, mind, and soul, with the intelligence of the earth. 5b338bd0c11d5be8.jpg Paperback bookpage from The Great Cosmic MOTHER Rediscovering the Religion of the Earth MONICA SJÖÖ and BARBARA MOR Sjöö 214510ec2cd1e8e2.jpg INTRODUCTION The Great Mother in Her many aspects-maiden, raging warior, death-dealing and all-wise crone, unknowable and ultimate wyrd reemerging and rising again in human consciousness as we approach the wenty-first century. Isis, Mawu-Lisa, Demeter, Gaia, Shakti, Dakinis, Shekhinah, Astarte Ishtar, Rhea, Freya, Nerthus, Brigid, Danu- ~call Hef what you may--has been with us from the beginning and awaits us now. She is the beauty of the green earth, the life-giving waters, the consuming fire, the radiant moon, and the fiery sun. She is Star Goddess and Spiderwoman; she weaves the luminous web that creates the universe. As earth, the great planetaty Spirit-Being She germinates life within Her dark womb. After thousands of years of life-denying and anti-evolutionary patriar chal cultures that have raped, ravaged, and pollutes the earth. She re turns, The earth's immune system is breaking down and so is ours. Her soil, atmosphere, plant life, trees, and animal worlds are exhausted bevond endurance. All beings are suffering and can take no more. Based in matricide, the death of all nature, and the utter exploitation of women, Western culture has now run itself into the ground, and there is no other way but to return to the Mother who gives Us life. If we are to Of nature, and we must survive we have to attune yet again to the spirits learn to "'hear" the voices of the ancestors who speak to us from their Otherworld realms. 3f0c2986b1aeb0bc.jpg 6572c9a6f1a18629.jpg 2c9327b428121bf9.jpg 030d61bac14fa70c.jpg dff4559f634b7372.jpg Meripilus giganteus mushrooms on the grassy woodland floor. e2feee798e40f8af.jpg An upward angle photo of tree branches, thick with green leaves. 6a1b2e5a13e62b93.jpg More green trees. 25faabe4b09c5573.jpg A wooden post, cylindrical.
