With a Venus in Scorpio..
I am attracted to the Unknown, the Mysterious, the so called Underdog, and the Underground vein of truth triumphing in the most metaphoric mythical sense. The existential aesthetic found in the Epiphany uncovered in the human struggle to choose to exist played throughout the European classics and Indigenous traditions alike. Interwoven is the bloodline of the First Story whos origins and truest meaning remains a perceptive mystery.
I am a lover of those texts and oral stories of the beginning of time, the first man, the “one” culture seed seen between the lens of past, present and future. It is something that has truly dominated my life, my purpose and mission that I have awakened to with greater intensity. I am a thinker, a philosopher, and free spirit who believes judgment is better left to God (Goddess, the Gods). For reality is but mans perception of himself in the Universe.
Now Im new to FaceBook and have become almost ‘addicted’ to its networking and social prowess. I’ve also learned that I must move forward with some balance and discipline. Lol! So I’m taking a short much needed vaca to get some projects done so I can truly network the right way! Get out there and mix it up. Lol.
MY new ‘friends’ I’ll chat with u in a week or so and to my dearest friends, “shyt yall got my number! LOVE U!”

EGYPTIAN MYTH: 101
For those who are Mythological challenged:
Creatrix aspect, a Creator goddess and as such related to the primeval waters, i.e. Nun.
Nit as Creatrix
During the Ptolemaic period there was built a temple to the ram-headed god Khnum, who was the lord of the 1st cataract area of the Nile. Here the cult of Nit is found, she was an important guest deity in the temple of Khnum, perhaps because of her connection as a creator deity to the Primeval Waters. Several depictions of her is found here as well as of her sacred lates-fish. On its inner north wall a creation myth was told, which depicted Nit as emerging from the Primeval Waters in the form of a cow, uttering those commands that causes the first land to be created. Then she follows the flood to Lower Egypt where she lays the foundations of Sais. This is the only text source which speaks of Nit as a Creatrix, and probably it was brought there by the powerful priesthood at Sais.
In this text Nit is seen as a goddess with both male and female powers:
You are the Lady of Sais…whose two-thirds are masculine
and one-third is feminine
Unique Goddess, mysterious and great
who came to be in the beginning
and caused everything to come to be…
the divine mother of Re, who shines in the horison
the mysterious one who radiates her brightness
She was further said to have “appeared out of herself while the land was in twilight and no land had yet come forth…”
And this place became land in the midst of the primeval water,
just as she said,
and thus came into being “the land of the waters” and Sais…
All in all there was seven utterances made before everything was created and she needed no male help as she incorporated both male and female properties within her. After she had created thirty gods she created her son Re, who in his turn created mankind out of tears from his eyes.
