Where is She?

A message about resurrection.

Where is She?

Resurrection is one of the phases of feminine creation. It's not men's work.

Im sad about the breakdown in intimate companionship in modern society. I'm praying we will resurrect it. I'm also sad for the lack of collective understanding:

Men don't resurrect themselves.

In none of the legends has that ever been the case. It's priestess work. It's the journey of the Beloved.

Oestre is a fertility celebration.

Men and women making life together.

Resurrection is in the propagation of the womb.

If the structure of the Jesus legend is to have any meaning, he would have needed a priestess to revive him.

Where is She?

This isn't about historical accuracy. This is about the intentional distortion and dilution of a powerful and ancient archetypal mythology.

Isis and Osiris

Inanna and Dumuzi

Jesus and Mary Magdalen

The legend goes: the priest King dies--sacrificing himself so that life may be renewed--and his beloved retrieves him from the Underworld.

They say He (Jesus) resurrected himself by himself by the power of His Father.

But no.

Resurrection is women's work.

The women never left him. They remained to grieve and tend while the men fled. They witnessed. They announced it. They--the women--are at the heart of this myth.

She--His feminine counterpart, his priestess--would have held vigil with his body and sang the life back into his bones.

The fact that barely anyone recognizes the gaping hole in the story they're celebrating today breaks my heart.

This is not a tale of the isolated male overcoming darkness.

This is a journey of lovers into the depths of the Underworld and a reclaiming and resurrection of the Beloved with courage and adoration in true service to Life.
