Question - Mike (or anyone)

[Guest guest]

Mike, you here?

Why in the ancient myths of Ishtar and Tammuz and later Isis and Osiris, are the females going to retrieve the souls of the males?

All these female goddesses birthed from the sea: Aphrodite, Venus, Nu (being ancient waters), Mari ~ goddess of the Sea and later subsumed into Christianity as the "virgin" who is the mythical descendant of Isis, Inanna, Aphrodite and Venus. All are the archetypal energies of Binah, who is the waters and the *Vision of Sorrow* and ruled by Neptune.

Is it simply that we were in the Age of Taurus (a feminine age) and for the marriage of the Sun and Moon, the female retrieved the male, as later in the Age of Aries the male came to dominate? This seems too simple to me, I think there is something else at work and I've studied these myths for years now ... not really knowing what I was looking for but I think this is it.

And, why are all these feminine energies born of the Sea? Is this simply the recognition of the power of the Feminine Archetype of Binah? Do I have to return to meditation, rev up the energies to find the answers?
