The Proper Relation of Mother and Son

The Proper Relation of Mother and Son

Separation of Jesus of Nazareth, prince of Israel, from the dying and resurrected saviour god known as Christ might allow the god, Christ, to assume a proper relation with the Goddess as his mother rather than the cruel God as his father. It can be viewed as pure mythology involving no anti-scientific stances while satisfying the long felt psychological need for a mother figure and expressing psychological truths, not literal truths.

A problem with the mother and son concept is that it is closely linked with the cycle of the seasons which are scarcely any longer in the consciousness of urban dwellers. “The Goddess is no townswoman” as Robert Graves puts it. The Goddess does not keep 9.00 to 5.00 hours and it is a fault of society and a cause of the present crisis that she is ignored by those who are cocooned against Nature’s fluctuations. With the end of mankind, the creatures which survive will again have a clear view of Nature. If civilisation is not to end, capitalism had better find ways of saving Nature and allowing her to be clearly seen again and venerated by everyone. God is urbanizing the country: the Goddess will ruralize the towns.

What the ignorant have learned about Pagans are Christian lies. The essential culture, history and identity of the West is Pagan—Christianity has been stuck on the surface of it but with a strong glue made of fear of eternal damnation. Our ancestors learned to understand the natural environment, it's plants and animals and it's mysteries and passed their wisdom to their children until the Christians stopped it. We need to rediscover our roots and throw off the inventions of the Zarthust-Judaeo-Christian priesthood.

The patriarchal God has given Nature to mankind as steward. The earth and its animals and plants are therefore provided by God for mankind to use as it likes. Nothing could be more wrong! All plants and animals are part of a complex ecological balance that can only put up with so much abuse, tough as it is. Unless we see Nature as sacred we shall destroy her. What then shall we be stewarding? Since we are part of Nature, we shall never know—we too will be extinct.

Understanding NeoPaganism, we can appreciate that men and women are complementary and build a unity between them again. Women must accentuate feminine values to balance out the male, not adopt masculine values and behave like yobos. Women must speak up and decide on issues that concern them, issues like children, natural child-birth, the environmental, GM foods, education and future health. Men must respect them as women, enjoy the company of strong women and cut out the barbarism that has become fashionable as being macho, and they must accept that some men have feminine qualities and prefer to emphasise them to the exclusion of the masculine. All must be tolerant and creative in seeking to improve the world.

“” Yehouah for modern Christians is a new trinity of gods: the god of money and wealth; the god of science divorced from Nature; the god of dishonesty, evolved out of the belief of Christians that pious lying is acceptable. As Robert Graves says: “This is a cockney civilisation.” Cockney? A poor mishapen thing—a thing that should never have happened!
