Demeter and Persephone

To the rape victims in my clinic, I try to be Demeter. There can be no stigmatization that is attached to their ordeal. I require nothing more of them but to return to the light and to eventually learn again to dance and sing. There is no shame in having survived, no question as to whether they had anything to do with the rape and kidnap. No degradation that accrues to the victim. Only gratefulness that they have survived and the promise of a return to self-nurture and growth.

It's not a woman's world

It is through the perversion of the religious element in woman, playing upon her hopes and fears of the future, holding this life with all its high duties in abeyance to that which is to come, that she and the children she has trained have been so completely subjugated by priestcraft and superstition. -- Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Ashes to Ashes…dust to dust.

So the Bible says that we are all created from dirt. If we die, we return from dirt, and that suppose to prove the Bible’s so-called “scientific foreknowledge”?
