I receive the energy of Venus and the wisdom of Athena.

I like your take on this. I turned my back almost completely on christianity because of the manipulations of the truth a long long time ago. This gives me a fresh way of looking at it though. I jumped to the conclusion that the church just stole and used all of the old ways to manipulate the masses and make their way of being and worshiping more palatable. I never really considered that Christ fell into a category that made it easier for the people themselves, over time, to weave stories that were closer to the mythological figures. Its very true though and actually even more probable that at least in part it occured that way. This is interesting and I have to admit that I have searched and searched for a way of allowing that energy back into my life since it was such a huge part of my childhood. I miss the magic of believing in something so strongly~~I guess alot like Santa Clause, I miss him too hahah~~ and as a result I may have thrown the baby out with the bathwater. Well, thanks for sharing your train of thought on this. I like new thoughts as the old ones become quite boring!! LOL
Be well....

Daniel you have really delved into this study hmm? I am not this well versed. I know the story of Persephone but I am not connecting the dots with Mary Magdalene. I didn't realize that she (Persephone's mother) was an initiatrix. I just knew of the story of the 6 mths under ground and the six mths in light. I saw that story on many levels though..just not what you mentioned. Interesting. Forgive me..its been a long long while since I touched on the archetypes. I stopped because at that time I was rabid for knowledge and I was self studying things at such a rapid pace that I realized that I was a little crazy with it. There was no stillness and no depth to what I was learning. One God led to the next God/ess and one story into the next with no focus for me. I actually started with the Norse Gods and reading runes and from there...Holy Cow there is no end to it.
So do you believe that MM was real and the lover/consort of Christ or do you feel she became part of the story as time went on. I am often conflicted over all of the stories of Christ. I just don't know where truth ends and mythology begins with them. There are to many parallels such as the birth of the son vs. the birth of the Sun...etc....I guess I just don't trust what has been tampered with...
Curious to see your take on in...

Hey everyone,Sorry it took a while to get back here and answer this Daniel.
Saraswati is, well to me, a mother feeling Goddess but she is the goddess of the arts and also students. So she kind of covers all of the things I am in one swoop lol. I think women in particular really need to relate to the archetypes to get back to the powerful beings that we are. I think that is happening though. I feel like there is a rebalancing going on in the world and hopefully it will restore us and in turn our planet back to a place of balance. Hopefully!!!

My favorite is the Goddess Saraswati. I like the Hingu Gods and Goddesses. I love that they have have so much symbolism in every last little minute detail.
I read from Mother Peace which is also so strong on archetypes. So much strong feminine energy....Someday I will marry all these bits of knowledge and it will all mesh into who I am lol...One big collage!!!!

I think you should recrop the picture so that the people can see the face of the card. Crop it to the thumbnail size given to include head - right now all I can see is the trunk of the body.

Why don't you post all your cards in the photo library?
