To: soc.religion.paganism,alt.magick.tyagi,talk.religion.misc,alt.mythology,alt.religion.wicca,alt.pagan,talk.religion.newage From: l23@hopi.dtcc.edu (GERALD J. LA CORTE) Subject: Re: ABranchfeather: Reality of Gods (was William Blake's Date: 16 Dec 1996 08:37:33 -0600 : Hmm... better be almost ten days each if you want to make the 29.6 days of : each moon. Also, it's much easier to tell the quarters than the thirds - : the half-moons are quite obvious. Can you as easily tell 'maiden' moon from : 'mother' moon? Well, its twenty-nine days, twelve hours, fourty-four minutes for slightly more than 29.53 days - but I'll give you the couple of hours. I might be a nerd, but I'm not a jerk. How do you tell maiden from mother and those from crone? Pardon, do you have trouble recognizing teenagers from adult woment from elderly people? Its like grass. When its growing up and green, its maiden. When it bears the sheaf of wheat, rye, or whatever other grain, its mother. After which, it would whither, die, and rot. Try looking at the moon - I realize that for most of the north Atlantic coast its been tough lately. I celebrate the quarter moon as the maiden moon and two or three days later I celebrate the young mother moon - She looks different. If the sunlight line is more or less verticle, its probably a maiden moon. If its pretty close to round, its a mother moon, idealized at the full moon. Then again, twenty-five year olds don't look _much_ different from thirty year olds. : > She dies on the day of the new moon and is reborn. : Death & rebirth for the Goddess? Oooh, heresy! But anyone with enough : creativity can write religious mythology - the ancients did, and what do : they have that we don't? And the God dies on Samhain, is born on Yule, and sires himself with his consort and mother on Beltain. And you're talking about heresy. I have less problem with re-incarnation. The Sun goes up. The Sun comes down. The Sun goes up. The Sun comes down. Osirus. Set. Osirus. Set. The Moon waxes. The Moon wanes. The Moon waxes. The Moon wanes. The only difference is the terminology we use. Bests, Jay
