Good morning. My blog post on the Sun opposite Eris disappeared a moment ago, and I don’t have the energy to rewrite it. So I’m going to leave you with a reference source that I used at the conclusion of the article, written by Sariel in Wales. It might seem out of context, but think of it as part of a long conversation about the Eris archetype. Sariel writes:
from 9,000 to 3,000 bc we began the process of no longer being nomadic and growing crops instead of hunter gathering. the hearth became the most important fire of all, the centre of familial and social life. thus the cult of brigid rose up, the goddess of fire, healing and herbs. from brigid comes the words brew, bread, breed and even brick. she provided nurturance, food and emotional support. and we worshipped the goddess for her life-bearing properties. at that time in the matriarchal society, the biggest fear for males was castration by the female. then around 3,000bc, the babylonian creation myth of marduk, tells of a god who killed Tiamat the great mother, and gained the ability to create and destroy, not through the soil and fertility but through the power of the word. this signified the end of the matriarchal line and the beginning of the biblical story.
