Caitlin Matthews who in her photo appears, to me, to be standing in the middle of the 19th century in Ireland in a thatched roof cottage has a wonderful essay on the Heirophant. She brings all the beauty of the culture captured in tradition and shared so that we have and understand our own values and loves. She correctly explains that the idea of the Heirophant as an old stick in the mud such as, to me,the current RC Pope who hilariously from his golden threads and elegant oils and immaculately clean rooms announces that the wealth of Creation is unfairly divided. fact is that humans believe that the gods show favor by allotting wealth to the lucky one.
I plan to order her book.
About Me
- Singing Sparrow
- I almost always write in the early morning. I am an aging hippie living with my husband lover, my adult daughter,my almost adult granddaughter looking for her first full time job and my almost teenage grandson and my sister who is 11 months the younger. As the world prepares for a righteous struggle for individual independence and the correcting of the power of corporations to tell how, where and even when to live i seek the lower level where gardens grow and children learn. +++
