(Idols and icons; all of them represent divine feminine and how they’re viewed that way through the popular culture lens of time and place in some way.)

RA & Du 's ... a cloud on the horizon looking over the edge ... at what's out there? Any descriptions of the potential? Deux 've a thing in one linguistic ...
 
What I wonder is, why is antiquity any more important to understand than now?

Maybe one day there will be religions based on pop culture icons…oh wait.

Knowing where we came from helps us see why we are where we are. We might learn something that helps us keep going.

And reminds us that whatever we may try to change in our world, human beings keep being human. We have advanced less than we tend to believe in our modern arrogance. Rome had Nero, we have Trump.

I once heard this item of concern ... I really don't know ... my mother told me. If we live completely for the moment and don't know how this instance occurred how could we have the cloudiest comprehension of the consequences.

It seems that people know all about what's presence and all are deficient on the fringe and frontier leading to delinquency of some particular thoughts about now ... a systematic folly! Have you noted any parallel-like worlds? Like worldly Catholicism vs cosmological universalism! Cosmological being like that out there looking down on us ...

Doeth that rate as a heavenly aura of 3 dimensions that may have more than we thought to be consequential? Globu-la ...

I do understand that. I’m not actually a live in the moment person for the most part. Linear time doesn’t seem to be experienced the same way in my neurodivergent brain. I just think we haven’t really learned from history anyway - even with the smartest advisors. We went to the moon, and to Mars but can’t keep it together on Earth. We just took our arrogance to outer space - it’s probably always been there for the most privileged explorers (few of them were women until recently). Look at the state of the world. It goes the other way too. Being too absorbed in history and mythology to see what’s right in front of us for what it is, not biases and prejudices we ascribe to it.

As for divine feminine - it’s in everybody who recognizes it in them, I think. The masculine war gods are being more celebrated in spirit, these days.

Good to have this thread. I was just pointing out some female goddesses and idols of modern culture, and being a bit silly.

Sometimes we have to understand where we've been by removing the revisions to history made by patriarchal structures. There was a time when divine female energy was regarded as usual, revered and even feared. We in the West can't even imagine that now.

I was a child in a London that isn't the one several of you live in. I had teachers who didn't hesitate to point out inequities between genders.

Wat back in history (666 or so) there was a Abbey founded in my area. by St. Cedd. He installed his sister as Abbess. One teacher showed obvious pleasure in telling us that this Abbey became VERY rich. She nade sure to tell us that the Bishop of London was told to make his Confessions to.........it is recorded somewhere..............the Abbess at Barking! This, my teacher said, proved that women weren't always considered subservient by Christianity.

A quote I came away with from my related courses in Christian female mystics was that "The Dark Ages for men was a Renaissance for women.
 
Is the divine thing better diversified?

A late friend once said cook in the kitchen, water carrier in the washroom, entertainer in the parlor, cultivator in the garden and ... just something else in the bed chamber ... stoker in the engine room ... why we have to go? Imagine the facets ...
 
How best to appreciate that?

With greatest respect for a worn out property ... potential! Thus Onan 's ... and other old words for the devil scratching at your door ... thought attempting to save you from your will ... alas often they will not thus won't is the WOKE form on night air ... something unthought of ... maybe unthinkable as once in hard to get out? There are a lot of devilish word ... unknowns!
