This is a c.190 AD "Sarcophagus with the Triumph of Dionysus" at the Walters Gallery of Art, Baltimore. It was discovered on the Via Salaria in Rome, Italy and is cut from marble from Cape Vathy Quarry in Greece. It is one of 7 sarcophagi found in the tomb of the family Calpurnii Pisones. The lid portrays scenes from the birth of Dionysus. The main body depicts scenes from a journey the infant Dionysus made to India. Note the African animals depicted including elephants, a lion, a giraffe, a lizard and a snake indicating that the young Dionysus was raised in Africa. According the Walters: "... The triumphal march of Dionysus (or Bacchus, as he was generally known in Rome) through the lands of India was equated in Roman thought with the triumph of the deceased over death. At the left, Dionysus rides in a chariot pulled by panthers. Preceding him is a procession of his followers and exotic animals, including lions, elephants, and even a giraffe. A bird's nest is concealed in the tree at the far right; on the same tree a snake is pursuing a lizard. Many of the animals depicted had special significance in the mystery cult of Dionysus Sabazius. On the lid is the birth of Dionysus and his reception by nymphs, shown between satyr heads (on the ends), one smiling and one frowning. The enormous attention to detail on this sarcophagus exemplifies the talents of the best Roman relief carvers. ..." Walters Gallery of Art.

This is a detail from the Walters "Sarcophagus with the Triumph of Dionysus." I call this photo, also taken in August 2015: "Pilgrimage to India - 2" The Walters also has a wall sized modern mosaic of the ancient world suggesting where in Africa Dionysus may have been raised. The Nubian capital in those days was in Meroë, which is in present day Sudan (although it was later move to Axum, in present day Ethiopia.) Note the close proximity of Meroë to Mecca across the Red Sea. Work on this website strongly suggests that during late Roman times, what we call "Arabia" was under the rule of black African kings. The pilgrimage to India was probably started from somewhere in South Arabia. *** (June 7, 2016) The followers of the queen of Sheba - the "queen of the south" may have extended as far east as India. Watching the Merchant/Ivory film "The Courtesans of Bombay" (1983) alerted me to the Devadasi or "dancing girl" tradition in India. According to Wikipedia: " ...In South India, a devadasi (Sanskrit: servant of deva (god) or devi (goddess) ) is a girl "dedicated" to worship and service of a deity or a temple for the rest of her life. The dedication takes place in a Pottukattu ceremony which is similar in some ways to marriage. Originally, in addition to taking care of the temple and performing rituals, these women learned and practiced Sadir (Bharatanatya), Odissi and other classical Indian artistic traditions and enjoyed a high social status as dance and music were essential part of temple worship. Traditionally devadasis had a high status in society. After marrying wealthy patrons, they spent their time honing their skills instead of becoming a housewife. They had children from their husbands who were also taught their skills of music or dance. Often their patrons had another wife who served them as housewife. During British rule in the Indian subcontinent, kings who were the patrons of temples and temple arts became powerless. As a result, devadasis were left without their traditional means of support and patronage. During colonial times, reformists worked towards outlawing the devadasi tradition on grounds that it supported prostitution. Colonial views on devadasis are hotly disputed by several groups and organizations in India and by western academics as the inability of the British to distinguish them from the girls who danced in the streets for the reasons other than spiritual devotion to the deity as in socio-economic deprivation and perusal of folk arts. Recently the devadasi system has started to disappear, having been outlawed in all of India in 1988. ... " Devadasi, Wikipedia *** The reason the Devadasi tradition may be linked to the lands of the queen of Sheba becomes evident when you seen photographs of Devadasi courtesans from the courts of 19th century Maharajahs - the infamous "Nautch girls". Many of them are black-skinned - as black or blacker than many Africans. *** (June 25, 2016) According to Wikipedia: " ... In North India, Nautch is one of several styles of popular dance, performed by girls known as Nautch girls. The word Nautch is an anglicized version of ... nac, a word found in Hindi and Urdu ... , and several other languages of North India, derived from the Sanskrit,Nritya, via the Prakrit, Nachcha. A simple and literal translation of Nautch is "dance" or "dancing". The culture of the performing art of Nautch rose to prominence during the later period of Mughal Empire, and the British East India Company Rule. Over time, the Nautch traveled outside the confines of the Imperial courts of the Mughals, the palaces of the Nawabs and the Princely states, and the higher echelons of the officials of the British Raj, to the places of smaller Zamindars, and other places. Some references use the terms Nautch and Nautch girls to describe Devadasis who used to perform ritual and religious dances in the Hindu temples of India. However, there is not much similarity between the Devadasis and the Nautch girls. The former performed dances, mostly Indian classical dances, including the ritual dances, in the precincts of the Hindu temples to please the temple deities, whereas the Nautch girls performed Nautches for the pleasure of men. In 1917, attributing the adjective to a woman in India would suggest her entrancing skill, tempting style and alluring costume could mesmerize men to absolute obedience. ... " Nautch, Wikipedia [My intuition is Nautch girls were a Devadasi subculture. British colonial account of a "Bazar Woman".] *** It seems evident to me that these Nautch girls passed on their black skin to some extremely powerful Indians - perhaps the best example being the last emperor of India - the Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar who was deposed by the British in 1858. In a photograph taken just before his exile to Burma, the last Mughal is as black skinned as a Somali or a Maasai. *** (June 25, 2016) For a glimpse into a Mughal Zenana see: John Zubrzycki's "The Last Nizam" (2006) : "... Mahboob Ali Khan [the 6th Nizam of Hyderabad (1866 – 1911)] had been initiated into the pleasures of the flesh at an early age and estimates of the number of concubines he kept in specially partitioned quarters of his main palaces ranged from a conservative 100 to what one prudish [British] Resident put at a "shocking" 10,000. The women included dancing girls and the daughters of nobles, Muslims as well as Hindus and even an Anglo-Indian. Not all were the fleeting objects of his attention; some were presented by fathers wanting the honour of having a daughter at the palace. After spending a night with the Nizam, most girls were sent to the crowded quarters of the zenana and never called again. The reward for any woman who bore a son was an increase in her allowance, a staff of servants and a special apartment ..." John Zubrzycki "The Last Nizam" (2006) at 100-101. *** There is also suggestive evidence of an ancient African tie to India in the "Black" Pagoda - the Konark Sun Temple in Odissa, India. According to Wikipedia: " ... Konark Sun Temple is a 13th-century AD Sun Temple at Konark in Odisha, India. It is believed that the temple was built by king Narasimhadeva I of Eastern Ganga Dynasty in 1255 AD. The temple complex is in the shape of a gigantic chariot, having elaborately carved stone wheels, pillars and walls. A major part of the structure is now in ruins. The temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has also featured on various list of Seven Wonders of India. ... The temple was originally built at the mouth of the river Chandrabhaga, but the waterline has receded since then. ... It has twelve pairs of elaborately carved stone wheels which are 3 meters wide and is pulled by a set of seven horses (4 on the right and 3 on the left). The temple follows the traditional style of Kalinga architecture. It is carefully oriented towards the east so that the first rays of sunrise strikes the principal entrance. ... According to Bhavishya Purana and Samba Purana, there may have been a sun temple in the region earlier than current one, dating to the 9th century or earlier. The books mention three sun temples at Mundira (possibly Konark), Kalapriya (Mathura), and Multan. According to the scriptures, Samba, the son of Krishna, was cursed with leprosy. He was advised by the sage, Kataka, to worship the sun god to cure his aliment. Samba underwent penance for 12 years in Mitravana near the shores of Chandrabhaga. Both the original Konark temple and the Multan temple have been attributed to Samba. The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea (1st Century CE) mentions a port called Kainapara, which has been identified as current day Konark. ... " Konark Sun Temple, Wikipedia *** Samba, to me, seems to be an African name. Also there is an accurate carving of a giraffe on one of the walls - indicating contact with Africa. The horses pulling the sun chariot also seem very similar to "Yemen Horse" on page 43 of this website. - To me this all suggests a Sabaean colony in India. Finally, and most importantly, is the aggressively erotic nature of the Maithuna sculptures all over the Temple. To me these seem to be a direct link to Sabaean worship of the sun - the sun being eros. *** According to theKonark.in : " ... HISTORY & LEGENDS OF KONARK SUN TEMPLE Various theories have been propounded regarding the purpose of selecting the site and erection of such a mammoth monument at Konark. There are many legends of Konark that tell us a lot about the construction, existence as well as the origin and history of Konark. Since the time of Mahammad Ghori, Orissa was raided several times by the Muslims, but the Hindu kings of Orissa could resist them definitely for a longer period. The Hindus were aware that it would be rather impossible for them to tackle with such a warrior nation and to drive them permanently out of their their country. Still they went on taking aggressive parts in such a way, that they could delay the Muslim occupation in Orissa, for about two centuries more. By the middle of the 13th century, when the Muslims had conquered the whole of the northern India and most parts of neighboring Bengal, there was hardly any power which could check their advance and it was thought that the Hindu Kingdom of Orissa would soon be overrun by them. At that time Narasimhadeva I started taking the offensive against them. After the death of Sultan Iltutmish, in 1236 A.D., the throne of Delhi remained weak for sometime, when Nasiruddin Mahammad succeeded him and appointed one Tughan Khan, a Governor of Bengal. A great fight took place between the Muslim army, under the said Tughan Khan and Narasimhadeva I, at Katasin, in the year 1243 A.D., where the former were completely defeated and ran away. The heavy loss of lives in this war was so severe. Narasimhadeva's victory in this war must have enormously enhanced his prestige in the eyes of the contemporary Hindu Kings and as such, he wanted to build a temple to represent both, a shrine and a Kirti-Stambha (victory-memorial) to commemorate his victory according to his royal status and prestige. ... The beauty of the Sun-rise and the roaring voice of the sea charmed Narasimhadeva since his early life. The river chandrabhaga which is now dead, was once flowing within a mile to the north of the temple site and was joining the sea. On its banks, existed flourishing towns and important trading centres. Trade was carried on with foreign countries as well, by sea routes, as there was no better communication other than the river in those days. Narasimhadeva had preferred the place for his proposed temple, for not only enabling him to bring his building materials from different places by the said river, but the sanctity of the [place] was also considered by him. In this connection there is an interesting legend which says that, once Samba, the son of Sri Krishna, incurred the displeasure of Narada. Who revenged himself by getting Samba afflicted with leprosy. Ultimately, when Samba, was found innocent, he was advised to practice penance in the Maitreyi forest for 12 years, to please Surya(Sun God) to cure him of his disease. He acted accordingly and after the prescribed period the Sun appeared before him and asked to recite the twenty-one different names of the deity. Next morning when Samba was taking his bath in chandrabhaga, his hands came in contact with something in the water. He immediately lifted it up and saw an image of Surya (Sun God) standing on a lotus pedestal, holding two lotuses in his both hands. He carried the image to his Ashrama (hermitage) and installed it in a temple, built by him. Samba was however completely cured, after sometime, by worshipping the deity. In addition to the above legend, there is another legend associated with it. It is believed that in the proximity of Konark Temple, there was a pool in which once a stone was dropped by King Narsimha Deva and it was galloped by the Raghab Fish. On hearing this, the goddess Dhama got disturbed. She gave a suggestion to Sivai Santra to construct a temple by dropping stones from sides. Thus, the Sun temple is believed to have been built in this manner. Besides the sanctity and the favourable surroundings, the presence of majestic sea eternally roaring and rolling within a striking distance, was perhaps an added attraction for them. ... " thekonark.in *** (June 13, 2016) For a still-active temple from the same era in Orissa, see the Lingaraj temple. *** (June 30, 2016) According to Wikipedia: " ... Lingaraj Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Harihara, a form of Shiva and Vishnu ... and is one of the oldest temples in Bhubaneswar, the capital of the East Indian state of Orissa. The temple is the most prominent landmark of the Bhubaneswar city and one of the major tourist attractions of the state. The Lingaraja temple is the largest temple in Bhubaneswar. The central tower of the temple is 180 ft (55 m) tall. The temple represents the quintessence of the Kalinga Architecture and culminating the medieval stages of the architectural tradition at Bhubaneswar. The temple is believed to be built by the kings from the Somavamsi dynasty, with later additions from the Ganga rulers. The temple is built in the Deula style that has four components namely, vimana (structure containing the sanctum), jagamohana (assembly hall), natamandira (festival hall) and bhoga-mandapa (hall of offerings), each increasing in the height to its predecessor. The temple complex has 50 other shrines and is enclosed by a large compound wall. Bhubaneswar is called the Ekamra Kshetra as the deity of Lingaraj was originally under a mango tree (Ekamra) as noted in Ekamra Purana, a 13th-century Sanskrit treatise. The temple is active in worship practises, unlike most other temples in Bhubaneswar and Shiva is worshipped as Harihara, a combined form of Vishnu and Shiva. The temple has images of Vishnu, possibly because of the rising prominence of Jagannath sect emanating from the Ganga rulers who built the Jagannath Temple in Puri in the 12th century. Lingaraja temple is maintained by the Temple Trust Board and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). The temple has an average of 6,000 visitors per day and receives lakhs of visitors during festivals. Shivaratri festival is the major festival celebrated in the temple and event during 2012 witnessed 200,000 visitors. ... " Lingaraj, Wikipedia *** The tower of the Lingaraj temple is still intact and is probably what the tower of the Konark temple once looked like. *** Regarding the erotic sculptures all over the Konark Sun Temple - Maithuna, according to Wikipedia: " ... " ... Although some writers, sects and schools, e.g. Yogananda, consider this to be a purely mental and symbolic act, a look at different variations (and translations) of the word maithuna clearly shows that it refers to male-female couples and their union in the physical, sexual sense and is synonymous with kriya nishpatti (mature cleansing). Just as neither spirit nor matter by itself is effective but both working together bring harmony so is maithuna effective only then when the union is consecrated. The couple become for the time being divine: she is Shakti and he is Shiva. The scriptures warn that unless this spiritual transformation occurs the union is carnal and sinful. Yet it is possible to experience a form of maithuna without physical union. The act can exist on a metaphysical plane without sexual penetration, in which the shakti and shakta transfer energy through their subtle bodies alone. It is when this transfer of energy occurs that the couple, incarnated as goddess and god via diminished egos, confronts ultimate reality and experiences bliss through union of the subtle bodies. ... " Maithuna, Wikipedia *** (June 30, 2016) The Lingaraj temple, which is in active use, is dedicated to Shiva. My intuition is the Konarak sun temple, which is a ruin, is dedicated to Shakti. In other words, only one side of the necessary Shakti/Shiva balance is being actively worshiped in India today. According to Wikipedia: " ... In Hinduism, Shakti, also spelled as Sakthi or Shakthi, meaning "power" or "empowerment," is the primordial cosmic energy and represents the dynamic forces that are thought to move through the entire universe. Shakti is the concept, or personification, of divine feminine creative power, sometimes referred to as 'The Great Divine Mother' in Hinduism. As the mother she is known as Adi Parashakti or Adishakti. In her avatar as Akshara Mandhapati, her power is her uncontrollable energy. On the earthly plane, Shakti most actively manifests through female embodiment and creativity/fertility, though it is also present in males in its potential, unmanifest form. Hindus believe that Shakti is both responsible for creation and the agent of all change. Shakti is cosmic existence as well as liberation, its most significant form being the Kundalini Shakti, a mysterious psychospiritual force. In Shaktism and Shaivism, Shakti is worshipped as the Supreme Being. Shakti embodies the active feminine energy of Shiva and is identified as Tripura Sundari or Parvati. ...

Apparently eros is one of the four foundations of a virtuous Hindu life: Kama. According to Wikipedia: " ... Kama (Sanskrit, Pali; Devanagari) means desire, wish, longing in Indian literature. Kaman often connotes sexual desire and longing in contemporary literature, but the concept more broadly refers to any desire, wish, passion, longing, pleasure of the senses, the aesthetic enjoyment of life, affection, or love, with or without sexual connotations. Kama is one of the four goals of human life in Hindu traditions. It is considered an essential and healthy goal of human life when pursued without sacrificing the other three goals: Dharma (virtuous, proper, moral life), Artha (material prosperity, income security, means of life) and Moksha (liberation, release, self-actualization).Together, these four aims of life are called Purusartha. ... Pleasure in general, sexual pleasure in particular, is neither shameful nor dirty, in Hindu philosophy. It is necessary for human life, essential for well being of every individual, and wholesome when pursued with due consideration of dharma and artha [and Moksha]. Unlike the precepts of some religions, kama is celebrated in Hinduism, as a value in its own right. Together with artha and dharma [and Moksha] , it is an aspect of a holistic life. All [four] purusharthas - Dharma, Artha and Kama [and Moksha] - are equally and simultaneously important. ...

Muladhara is located near the coccygeal plexus beneath the sacrumit, while its kshetram, or superficial activation point, is located between the perineum and the coccyx or the pelvic bone. Because of its location and connection with the act of excretion, it is associated with the anus. Muladhara is said to be the base from which the three main psychic channels or nadis emerge: the Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. It is also believed that Muladhara is a subtle abode of the Hindu God Ganapati. In the highest revered prayer for Ganapati, the Ganapati Atharvashirsha, it is mentioned that "one who worships Lord Ganapati would easily grasp the concept and realise Brahman". Appearance The deity Indra is associated with Muladhara. In these depictions, he is yellow, four-armed, and holds a vajra and a blue lotus in his hands. He is mounted upon the white elephant Airavata, who has seven trunks denoting the seven elements necessary for supporting life. Occasionally, Ganesha is also associated with Muladhara. In these depictions, he has orange skin, wears a yellow dhoti, and a green silk scarf draped around his shoulders. In three hands he holds a laddu, a lotus flower, and a hatchet, and the fourth is raised in the mudra of dispelling fear. Seed mantra Seat of kundalini Function It is associated with the element of earth, the sense of smell and the action of excretion. "By meditating thus on Her who shines within the Muladhara Chakra, with the luster of ten million Suns, a man becomes Lord of speech and King among men, and an Adept in all kinds of learning. He becomes ever free from all diseases, and his inmost Spirit becomes full of great gladness. Pure of disposition by his deep and musical words, he serves the foremost of the Devas." ...

Oshun (known as Ochún or Oxúm in Latin America) ... is an orisha, a spirit, a deity, or a goddess that reflects one of the manifestations of God in the Ifá and Yoruba religions. She is one of the most popular and venerated orishas. Oshun is the deity of the river and fresh water, luxury and pleasure, sexuality and fertility, and beauty and love. She is connected to destiny and divination. She is the patron saint of the Osun River in Nigeria, which bears her name. The river has its source in Ekiti State, in the east of Nigeria, and passes through the city of Oshogbo, where Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove, the principal sanctuary of the deity, is located. Oshun is honored at the Osun-Osogbo Festival, a two-week-long annual festival that usually takes place in August, at the Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove on the banks of the river. Oshun is syncretized with Our Lady of Charity, patron saint of Cuba, and Our Lady of Aparecida, the patron saint of Brazil. In Trinidad she is associated with St. Philomena and the Hindu deity Ganga Mai or Mother Ganges. ... According to the Ifa Literary Corpus in Ose Otura, Oshun was the only female irunmole (primordial) sent to set up the world by Olodumare. The other males that were sent began the work and ignored Oshun. Oshun gathered the women and protested the blatant disrespect by forming Iyami Aje, a band of women endowed with special power. The men failed miserably and when they inquired to Olodumare as to why they weren't succeeding, Olodumare informed them that nothing can be done without Oshun. Anything they attempt to do without women will fail. The male irunmole hurried to beg Oshun to join them. Oshun is said to have gone to a drum festival one day and to have fallen in love with Shango. Since that day, Shango has been married to Oba, Oya, and Oshun, though Oshun is said to be his principal wife. Other stanzas in the Ifa Literary Corpus say that she was also married to Orunmila, the Orisha of Wisdom and Divination. Oshun is the orisha of the river. Her devotees leave her offerings and perform ceremonies at bodies of fresh water such as rivers, streams and canals. Oshun is associated with the colours gold/deep yellow in the diaspora and in Nigeria, white, yellow and green. In Trinidad she is associated with the colour pink. ... The abèbè is the ritual object most associated with Oshun. The abèbè is a fan in circular form. In Afro-Brazilian religion is made of brass or gold, sometimes with a mirror in the center. They abèbè (or abebé in Portuguese) is used in the rituals of Candomblé, Xangô do Nordeste, Xambá, Batuque, and Omolokô. ... Brazil : Oxum (Oshun in Portuguese) is a female orixá adopted and worshiped in all Afro-Brazilian religions. Oxum is the orixá of the fresh water of rivers and waterfalls; of the wealth and prosperity; of love; and of beauty. Followers seek help for romantic problems from Oxum; the orixá is also responsible for marriage and other relationships. As the orixá of financial life, she is also called the "Lady of Gold". This referred to copper at one time for being the most valuable metal of the time. Oxum is worshiped at rivers and waterfalls, and more rarely near mineral water sources. Oxum is a symbol of sensitivity and is identified by weeping. ... In Candomblé Bantu Oxum is called Nkisi Ndandalunda, the Lady of Fertility and Moon. Hongolo and Kisimbi have similarities with Oxum, and the three are often confused. In Candomblé Ketu Oxum is the deity of fresh water; the patron of gestation and fecundity; and receives the prayers of women who wish to have children and protect them during pregnancy. Oxum also protects small children until they begin to speak; she is affectionately called "Mamãe" ("Mama") by her devotees. Plants associated with Oxum in Brazil are aromatic, sweet, an often yellow, reflecting the qualities of the Orixá. They include mints (Lamiacaea). Oxum is associated with the folha-de-dez-réis (Hydrocotyle cybelleta), a plant of the pennywort family. Many species are brilliant yellow, reflecting Oxum's association with gold and wealth. She is also associated with folha-da-fortuna, or Kalanchoe pinnata ... " Oxum, Wikipedia *** (Feb. 26, 2018) "Chthonic" or of the earth. Oxum is an African version of the greek chthonic gods.

Probably a Yemonja parade. - Female seahorses have a functioning penis - the Ovipositer through which they deposit their eggs into the male sea-horse pouch after an intense mating dance. The male seahorse then incubates and gives birth to the next generation of sea horses. Which probably means that seahorses are a high eros species. Many female insects also have an ovipositer. Female bee-stings, for example, are modified Ovipositers. Most insects are probably female dominant - for example all spiders or praying mantises. Male birth is not that rare in the world of fishes and birds. For example aquarium species like Banggai Cardinalfish, all Pipefish and all Dragon fish are male birth with larger sexually aggressive females and males that hatch the fertilized eggs. Other fish species practice sex-change. For example Orange clownfish males turn into females when the alpha female dies, and Barramundi also change sex as they age with all dominant and larger females. (November 19, 2018) Most female raptors such as eagles, hawks and owls are dominant in size over the males. Bald eagle mating consists of the larger female mounting the smaller male. Both male and female bald eagles then take turns incubating the eggs. The same procedure probably occurs with all raptors like Owls: the larger dominant female bird of prey mounts the smaller male. The larger bird of prey also probably does all the hunting while the smaller bird incubates the eggs. But how? Most birds do not have a penis - sexual contact is made via the cloaca: " ... Both male and female bald eagles have a cloaca – one opening (also called the vent) that serves as the bodily exit for their digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. During the breeding season, the cloaca swells and protrudes slightly outside the body, while during the rest of the year it is much less prominent. When birds are ready to breed, their reproductive organs – the testes and ovaries – swell and produce the sperm and ova. Male birds store sperm in their cloaca until an opportunity to mate arises, and females will receive that sperm into their cloaca before it travels to fertilize their ova. The cloaca is on the rear of the body under the tail, and covered by feathers on the extreme lower abdomen. ... " - Male Cloaca Wikipedia - Female Cloaca Wikipedia The internet seems confused by this , but photos and film in the wild clearly show the female bald eagle wings open, which is a 1/3 bigger than the male mounting the bald eagle male - head bowed down ... My intution is the male does most of the incubating while the dominant female hunts and mounts other submissive males forming a male harem: " ... Bald eagles and most raptors are monogamous, but researchers are finding documented cases of cooperative polyandry and polygyny with trios of adults identified in mating and nesting activities. ... " It's probably only polyandry (male harem) , not polygny amoung raptors. See a paper documenting polyandry amoung the bearded vulture in Spain: " ... In the Pyrenees, between 1979 and 1986, six trios of lammergeiers Gypaetus barbatus, all consisting of a female and two males, occupied breeding territories formerly inhabited by pairs. In 1988 the frequency of polyandrous females in the population was 11·5%. Both males copulated, shared nest building and incubation, and fed the young. Aggressive behaviour between males was not detected. Trios had similar reproductive success as pairs which formerly occupied the same territories and as neighbouring pairs. Polyandry may have important implications for the conservation of this endangered lammergeier population. ... " High frequency of polyandrous trios in an endangered population of lammergeiers Gypaetus barbatus in Northern Spain - Falcons about to mate - The weight ratio of falcon male/female is 5/8. With birds of prey the larger bird is dominant so the female mounts the male - although this photographer states the male mounts the female. - Falcons about to mate - male exposes his cloaca to the female - 2 - Falcons mating - the "cloacal kiss" - Falcons mating - the "cloacal kiss" - Falcons finished mating - the exposed male cloaca The same procedure probably occurs in Owls. For example: " ... Adult great horned owls range in length from 43 to 64 cm (17 to 25 in), with an average of 55 cm (22 in), and possess a wingspan of 91 to 153 cm (3 ft 0 in to 5 ft 0 in), with an average of 122 cm (48 in). Females are somewhat larger than males. Mean body weight is 1,608 g (3.545 lb) for females and 1,224 g (2.698 lb) for males. ... " Wikipedia That means a male/female body weight ratio of 1.2 male /1.6 female for horned owls. Come mating time, the larger female bird of prey is dominant and mounts the smaller male. Also American robins, house wrens and blue jays. In all Jacanas and Phalarope, Quails, Dunnocks, and the Spotted Sandpiper as well as the West Indian woodpecker and Acorn Woodpecker the males do all the incubating of eggs after the polyandrous alpha female lays them. In New Guinea, Cassowary female birds are larger and more brightly colored than males and have a pseudo penis. Male Cassowary's incubate the eggs after being aggressively courted by larger promiscuous females. There is speculation that Cassowary's are probably the closest living link to the dinosaurs . If so the dinosaurs were probably female dominated: " ... Both sexes sport a phallic-looking “pseudo-penis” appendage. However, it isn’t connected to any of their reproductive organs internally. During copulation, the male ejaculates through his cloaca—an orifice that lies at the base of the pseudo-penis and not the tip. Males also have what’s usually described as a “vagina-like cavity.” When they aren’t mating, the pseudo-penis is turned inside out and retracted into this orifice.
Such peculiar anatomy has given the cassowary a unique place in New Guinean culture and folklore. For example, the native Mianmin people tell stories about a human woman with a penis who somehow transformed into a cassowary. Another indigenous group, the Umeda, put on a regular ceremony called “ida.” A big event that lasts for two days and nights, the ritual involves a fertility dance which calls for two male dancers who represent a pair of cassowaries. Each player is given a heavy mask and is coated with charcoal from head to toe. ... "
By Mark Mancini - Cassowaries courting The larger dominant female does the chasing. - Cassowaries mating The smaller male submits to mounting by the dominant female - Cassowaries mating The female pseudo penis probably penetrates the male cloaca and is covered in male sperm. The female then produces an egg for the male which he incubates, hatches and raises - while the dominant female searches for other males to mount. The same or similar female mounting male procedure occurs in all eagles, hawks, owls, falcons and other raptors as well as many birds. That's probably how dinosaurs mated too. - Cassowaries mating, July 2016 youtube (Queensland, Australia) - Cassowaries mating - youtube (Queensland, Australia) - Cassowary egg (Papua New Guinea) - Cassowary head - 2 - Cassowary head - 3 - Cassowary eggs (male incubation) According to : " Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity" By Bruce Bagemihi " ... Perhaps the most extraordinary example of beliefs about ambiguous or contradictory genders in animals concerns the cassowary. A large, flightless, ostrich like bird of New Guinea and northern Australia, the cassowary is considered by many New Guinean peoples to be an androgynous or gender-mixing creature, and it often assumes a preeminent mythic status in these cultures. The cassowary possesses many of the physical attributes of strength, audacity, and ferocity that are traditionally considered masculine in those cultures. It has powerful legs, feet, and razor-sharp claws (capable of inflicting serious, even lethal injuries in people); a dinosaur-like bony helmet or "casque" (used for crashing through the jungle); dangerous sharp spines or quills in place of wing feathers; booming calls (described as "warlike trumpet barks"); bright blue and red neck skin with pendulous , fleshy wattles; and an imposing size (over five feet tall and 100 pounds in some species). Yet numerous New Guinean peoples also regard the cassowary to be an all-female species (or for each bird to be simultaneously male and female) and often associate them with culturally feminine elements. The Sambia, for instance, consider all cassowaries to be "masculinized females," that is, biologically female birds that nevertheless lack a vagina and possess masculine attributes (they're thought to reproduce or "give birth" through the anus). Similarly, the cassowary is perceived as an androgynous figure by the Mianmin people: the bird is thought to have a penis, yet all cassowaries are considered female. One Mianmin tale actually recounts how a woman with a penis was transformed into a cassowary, and this mythological trope is found in the sacred stories of several other New Guinean peoples. Other cultures elevate the cassowary to a prominent position in their traditional cosmologies and origin myths as a generative figure, a powerful female creator of food and human life. The cassowary is believed to combine elements of femininity and masculinity in many other tribes, a number of whom also practice ritualized homosexuality, such as the Kaluli and Keraki. Finally, in a striking parallel to the cross-gendered Bear figure of many Native American cultures, the androgynous cassowary is also considered an intermediary, of sorts, between the animal and human worlds. In addition to mythic transformations and marriages between people and cassowaries , in several tribes this creature is not classified as a bird at all, but is grouped in the same category as human beings because of its size and upright two-legged gait. Combining images of male-female and bird-mammal, the Waris and Arapesh peoples also believe that cassowaries suckle their young from their neck wattles or wing quills, which are found in both male and female birds. Ritual performance of the cassowary's gender-mixing also occurs. Among the Umeda people, for example, a central feature of the tribe's Ida fertility rite involves two cassowary dancers whose costumes, movements, and symbolism combine both male and female elements. The dancers impersonating the birds are both men and are called by a name that refers to male cassowaries. Yet they are identified with the ancestral mothers of the tribe (who act as female tutelary spirits to the dancers), and the entire ceremony is said to have belonged in mythic times only to women and was performed without men. Each cassowary dancer also has an exaggerated phallus consisting of a large black gourd worn over the head of his penis, but the enormous mask/headdress that he carries (representing the cassowary's plumage as well as a palm tree) is imbued with feminine symbolism (in the form of its inner layer of under-bark). The dancing of the cassowary impersonators emphasizes their male sexuality: they rhythmically hop and move their hips in such a way that their penis gourds flip upward and strike their belts in a motion that imitates copulation, and their phallic organs are said to become enormously elongated during the all-night ceremony. At the same time, the two men frequently hold hands and dance as a pair, activities that are otherwise only seen in female dancers among the Umeda. The figure of the gender-mixing cassowary reaches its greatest elaboration among the Bimini-Kuskusmin people. In the belief system of this remote tribe of the central New Guinea highlands, the cassowary presides over an entire pantheon of androgynous and sex-transforming animals, and it is physically embodied in the form of special human representatives that ritually enact its trans-gendered characteristics ... At the pinnacle of this transgendered bestiary stands the creator figures of Afek, the masculinized female cassowary, along with her brother/son/consort Yomnok, a feminized male fruit bat or echidna (the later being a spiny anteater, an egg-laying mammal related to the platypus). Both are descended from a powerful double-gendered monitor lizard and are believed to be hermaphrodites possessing breasts and a combined penis-clitoris. Afek gives birth through two vagina's (one in each buttock), while Yomnok gives birth through his/her penis/clitoris. The gender-mixing of these mythical figures parallels the way they straddle the categories of bird and mammal: the cassowary is a "mammal like" bird- huge, ferocious. flightless, with fur like feathers - while the echidna is a "birdlike mammal" - small, beaked and egg laying ( the fruit bat is also birdlike, being a flying mammal). The Bimin-Kuskusmin elect certain people in their tribe to become the sacred representatives and lifelong human embodiments of these primordial creatures: they undergo special initiations and thenceforth ritually reenact and display the intersexuality of their animal ancestors. Two post-menopausal female elders in the clan are chosen to represent Afek: they undergo male scarification rituals, experience symbolic veiling or dissolution of their marriages and children, adhere to both male and female food taboos, receive male names, and are awarded both male and female hunting and gardening tools. During ceremonial functions - in which they are sometimes referred to as "male mothers" - they ornament themselves with cassowary plumes, often cross-dress in male regalia, or wear exaggerated breasts combined with an erect penis-clitoris made of red pandanus fruit. Physically inter-sexual or hermaphrodite members of the tribe are selected as embodiments of Yomnok. They are adorned with echidna quills or dried fruit-bat penises, wear both male and female clothing and body decorations, sport and erect penis-clitoris (made from black, salt-filled bamboo tubes) during rituals, and are lifelong celibates. In each case these living human representatives of the primal animal androgynes become revered and powerful figures in the tribe. They apply their double-gendered power in curing, divination, purification and initiation rites and officiate at ceremonies that require the esoteric manipulation and mediation of both male and female essences. Above all, these transgendered and non-reproductive "animal-people" are symbols of fertility, fecundity and growth - corporeal manifestations of what on cassowary man-woman calls "the hidden secret of androgyny .... inside the living center of the life force." ... " Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity" By Bruce Bagemihi According to the government of Australia: " ... The southern cassowary is one of Australia’s most imposing birds — large, colourful, and flightless.
It is found only in the dense tropical rainforests
of north-east Queensland. Continuing clearing and fragmentation of rainforest, and increased mortality from cars and dogs have reduced cassowary numbers to perhaps as few as around 2000, threatening the species with extinction.
The southern cassowary Casuarius casuarius belongs to an ancient group of flightless birds that includes Australia’s emu, Africa’s ostrich and New Zealand’s kiwi and now-extinct moa. As tall as an adult human (up to 170 centimetres), the female southern cassowary is Australia’s heaviest bird. The cassowary has draping, shiny black plumage and a colourful naked neck and head — brilliant blue and purple with long, drooping red wattles and an amber eye — topped with a helmet-like structure known as a casque. The colour of the skin changes with mood, brightening when the bird is aroused.
The cassowary has no tail, and its wing stubs carry a small number of long, modified quills, like rounded fingernails, which curve around the body. Each heavy, well-muscled leg has three toes, with the inside toe bearing a large dagger-shaped claw that can be used in defence. When the bird is cornered or protecting chicks, it kicks out with both feet at once, and can injure, or even kill, dogs or humans. More usually, it dashes off when alarmed, head lowered, casque first, through the heavy undergrowth. It reaches 40 kilometres per hour in short sprints and can even swim.
While the southern cassowary Casuarius Casuarius
is found in New Guinea and surrounding islands,
one subspecies — Casuarius casuarius johnsonii
— lives in Australia, mostly in dense, tropical rainforests that provide a supply of fruit all year round. This southern cassowary subspecies is listed as endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, the main Commonwealth legislation for protecting the environment and conserving biodiversity.
At the time of European settlement, the cassowary lived in tropical rainforests from Paluma Range (north of Townsville) to the tip of Cape York. Today, the species listed as nationally endangered, and it is estimated that there are less than 2200 individuals in populations near Mission Beach and Cooktown and on Cape York. More often heard than seen, the cassowary is most active at dawn and dusk, and rests in a sunny, sheltered spot in the middle of the day. Individuals have large home ranges, of up to seven square kilometres. The cassowary uses its feet and its hard, helmet-like casque to sift through leaf litter, mostly for a wide variety of fallen fruit, but also for dead animals, snails, fungi and other rich organic matter, and it occasionally plucks fruit from low branches. The bird swallows fruit whole and the seeds can end up in large piles of multi- coloured dung — a ready-made fertiliser. The cassowary is critical to the survival of many rainforest plants, spreading the seeds of about 150 species. Rats and small marsupials sometimes feast on seeds in the droppings.
... Cassowaries have distinctive mateship rituals. The female has an impressive display when proclaiming her territory. Her feathers bristle and, with her neck arched down, she puffs out her throat to make a thunderous booming sound, the effort shaking her whole body. Females are the bigger, more colourful sex, weighing up to 85 kilograms, compared to the male’s 40 kilograms. Between June and August, the male builds a flat dish
of leaves, grass and sticks on the forest floor or among grass at the forest edge, using the same nesting site over many years. Into this nest, the female lays from three to five large, glossy, pale pea-green eggs, each weighing about 600 grams. The male sits on them for about 50 days, rarely eating or drinking. Hours after hatching, the brown and buff striped chicks can walk and feed themselves, but the male protects them for nine months or more. The chicks that survive mature at two to three years and can live as long as 40 years.... "Australia Government Fact Sheet
(November 22, 2018) - Left unsaid is the female sexual domination - 85/40 female/male weight ratio - and probably polyandry of cassowaries. What almost certainly happens is several male nests in the female cassowaries territory. From this we can deduce the dinosaurs were also a female - on - male (femdom) polyandrous race. Also left unsaid, is most of the images of Cassowaries mating on the Internet are probably not actual mating. They are probably male on male play mating. There are no images with a 85/40 weight ratio, and the pairs mating are almost always lookalikes. In the wild, female Cassowary's are much brighter and much bigger than the males. The dream images from the Melanesians of a female with a penis (dragon) are probably our best link to ancient "Atlantis." In my dream wanderings these would be the "Ancient black Melanesians" or "Ancient black Orion's"who re-activated their ancient technological world in the late 1800's. Here is also probably the solution to "alien abductions". Many abductees report having their semen forcibly extracted from them in order to make "special babies" - what have come to be called "hybrids" in UFO mythology. ... This is also the world of Japanese "futanari". And also the ancient Pacific empire of ancient "Mu". What seems to have happened is a dinosaur or dragon civilization that previously lived on earth elevated a long forgotten negro civilization. And continues to do so. ... The unexpected twist is the carnal and communal and polyandrous nature of this previous race. - Australian Emus are polyandrous with males doing all the nesting and females mating with up to 3 males per season. Females are larger than males and probably do all the mounting during sex (This Wikipedia article says males mount the females though ) " ... Breeding takes place in May and June, and fighting among females for a mate is common. Females can mate several times and lay several clutches of eggs in one season. The male does the incubation; during this process he hardly eats or drinks and loses a significant amount of weight. The eggs hatch after around eight weeks, and the young are nurtured by their fathers. ... Emus form breeding pairs during the summer months of December and January, and may remain together for about five months. During this time, they stay in an area a few kilometres in diameter and it is believed they find and defend territory within this area. Both males and females put on weight during the breeding season, with the female becoming slightly heavier at between 45 and 58 kg (99 and 128 lb). Mating usually takes place between April and June; the exact timing is determined by the climate as the birds nest during the coolest part of the year. Males construct a rough nest in a semi-sheltered hollow on the ground, using bark, grass, sticks and leaves to line it. The nest is almost always a flat surface rather than a segment of a sphere, although in cold conditions the nest is taller, up to 7 cm (2.8 in) tall, and more spherical to provide some extra heat retention. When other material is lacking, the bird sometimes uses a spinifex tussock a metre or so across, despite the prickly nature of the foliage. The nest can be placed on open ground or near a shrub or rock. The nest is usually placed in an area where the emu has a clear view of its surroundings and can detect approaching predators. Female emus court the males; the female's plumage darkens slightly and the small patches of bare, featherless skin just below the eyes and near the beak turn turquoise-blue. The colour of the male's plumage remains unchanged, although the bare patches of skin also turn light blue. When courting, females stride around, pulling their neck back while puffing out their feathers and emitting low, monosyllabic calls that have been compared to drum beats. This calling can occur when males are out of sight or more than 50 metres (160 ft) away. Once the male's attention has been gained, the female circles her prospective mate at a distance of 10 to 40 metres (30 to 130 ft). ... Females are more aggressive than males during the courtship period, often fighting for access to mates, with fights among females accounting for more than half the aggressive interactions during this period. If females court a male that already has a partner, the incumbent female will try to repel the competitor, usually by chasing and kicking. These interactions can be prolonged, lasting up to five hours, especially when the male being fought over is single and neither female has the advantage of incumbency. In these cases, the females typically intensify their calls and displays. The sperm from a mating is stored by the female and can suffice to fertilise about six eggs. The pair mate every day or two, and every second or third day the female lays one of a clutch of five to fifteen very large, thick-shelled, green eggs. The shell is around 1 mm (0.04 in) thick, but rather thinner in northern regions according to indigenous Australians. ... Some females stay and defend the nest until the chicks start hatching, but most leave the nesting area completely to nest again; in a good season, a female emu may nest three times. Incubation takes 56 days, and the male stops incubating the eggs shortly before they hatch. ... Newly hatched chicks are active and can leave the nest within a few days of hatching. They stand about 12 cm (5 in) tall at first, weigh 0.5 kg (17.6 oz and have distinctive brown and cream stripes for camouflage, which fade after three months or so. The male guards the growing chicks for up to seven months, teaching them how to find food.Chicks grow very quickly and are fully grown in five to six months; they may remain with their family group for another six months or so before they split up to breed in their second season. During their early life, the young emus are defended by their father, who adopts a belligerent stance towards other emus, including the mother. He does this by ruffling his feathers, emitting sharp grunts, and kicking his legs to drive off other animals. He can also bend his knees to crouch over smaller chicks to protect them. At night, he envelops his young with his feathers. As the young emus cannot travel far, the parents must choose an area with plentiful food in which to breed. In captivity, emus can live for upwards of ten years. ... " Emu, Wikipedia - African male Ostriches have a penis that remains hidden in the cloaca when not mating. However, I personally suspect the Ostrich penis is attached to a female, not male Ostrich. The mating pattern is probably similar to Cassowaries and Emus. - Ostrich penis - Ostrich penis - 2 - Ostrich penis - 3 (November 26, 2018) Video of ostrich laying an egg.

Common ostriches become sexually mature when they are 2 to 4 years old; [males] mature about six months earlier than [females]. As with other birds, an individual may reproduce several times over its lifetime. The mating season begins in March or April and ends sometime before September. The mating process differs in different geographical regions. Territorial [females] typically boom in defense of their territory and harem of two to seven [males]; the successful [female] may then mate with several [males] in the area, but will only form a pair bond with a 'major' [male]. The [female] performs with [her] wings, alternating wing beats, until [she] attracts a mate. They will go to the mating area and [she] will maintain privacy by driving away all intruders. They graze until their behaviour is synchronized, then the feeding becomes secondary and the process takes on a ritualistic appearance. The [female] will then excitedly flap alternate wings again, and start poking on the ground with [her] bill. [She] will then violently flap [Her] wings to symbolically clear out a nest in the soil. Then, while the [Male] runs a circle around [Her] with lowered wings, [She] will wind [her] head in a spiral motion. [He] will drop to the ground and [She] will mount for copulation. ... " Wikipedia - Ostrich Mating dance - 2 - Female ostriches competing to mount a male - Female ostrich harem This is really polyandry with an alpha female mounting several males during the mating season. The pattern is the same as other ratites like the emu which copulates, lays her eggs and moves on to the next male, mounting as many as 3 males a season " ... A long-running question about how the largest species of birds achieve erect penises seems to have been settled. In a study published this week in the Journal of Zoology1, researchers report that [female] ostriches and emus enlarge their penises using a burst of lymphatic fluid rather than a blood vascular system like that found in reptiles and mammals. The finding, based on dissections, matches what is known about other species of birds — only 3% of which have penises — and could have important implications for the understanding of the shared, and divergent, evolutionary heritage of birds and reptiles. "Our findings reveal that the evolution of a lymphatic erection mechanism likely occurred in the ancestor of all birds rather than within birds," says Patricia Brennan, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and one of the authors of the study. Ostriches and emus are members of the ratites, a group of flightless birds that also includes rheas and kiwis. All [female] ratites sport penises — as do ducks and some other species — but most birds mate instead with a brief 'cloacal kiss', during which the male passes sperm to the female through the cloaca, the same port used for excreting waste. The existence of a lymphatic penis in some birds presents an evolutionary puzzle, says Richard Prum, an ornithologist at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, and co-author of the paper. “What is weird about birds is that they evolved not just a new structure, but a novel way to do something that was already being done,” he says. It is a poorly explored area of avian anatomy, but speculation about the ratite penis dates back to at least 1836, when a German study suggested that it relied on blood for erection2. Only a handful of scientists attempted to follow up on that finding, but a 1923 study claimed that the mechanism was lymphatic3. To settle the question, Prum and Brennan dissected the genitals of one adult ostrich (Struthio camelus) and three adult emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae). Both species turned out to have spongy, lymph-producing tissue, called paralymphatic bodies, just beneath the muscles that control the phallus. That is convincing evidence that the birds’ erections are controlled by the lymph system, the researchers say ... Brennan is now conducting a survey of penis morphology in all birds that have the organ, to learn what differences and changes over time might say about their function and evolution. She says that there seems to be a strong correlation between genital size and bird mating habits. Emus, for example, pair bond, and the [females] have small penises. Rheas, on the other hand, have much larger phalluses and are promiscuous. “I’m hoping that as I add more data, I’ll get at why that is,” she says. Montgomerie adds that the most provocative thing about the research is not what it says about bird penises, but rather what it implies about the lack of them for the vast majority of birds. “Darwin and others said that penises were primary sexual traits, meaning they’re essential for reproduction. But the birds say they’re not,” notes Montgomerie. Instead, he says, the penis may be a secondary sexual trait, helpful for stimulating the [male], signalling reproductive fitness and even an aspect of competition among [females] — but not indispensable. ... " Adam Marcus, Nature - South American Rheas are also polyandrous. According to Alfred Begazo in "The complicated mating systems of Rheas": " ... Mating systems and parental care patterns can be odd among birds. Male-female role reversal, happens in some familiar birds, but is rare. Less than 1% of all species exhibit some type of role reversal where males do what females typically do. Male Phalaropes, Jacanas, Tinamous, and Rheas build nests, incubate the eggs and take care of the chicks.
Perhaps the most complicated and bizarre mating system is that of the Rheas of South America. They live in flocks in the open country shrubland of Southern South America. During the breeding season, adult males split from the flocks they normally live in and begin to advertise their availability to females by calling and performing body contortions. Receptive females join a harem with the male of their choice. After the harem reaches a critical number, mating begins. The male will mate with each female while they remain in the harem. He will then select a nest site and build a simple nest, basically a depression on the ground lined with leaves and other material. Females then begin to lay eggs in the nest the male prepared. And here is where the critical number of females in a harem comes into play.
If too many females join a harem and lay eggs in a single nest, the male will not be able to incubate all the eggs properly. Some of the eggs will be lost to the elements. Also, eggs laying around the nest invite predators that once they consume the eggs outside the nest, they are likely to try for the eggs the male is incubating. Whether males or females decide what is the right harem size is unknown. After the females lay so many eggs, they move on and continue looking for other suitable males and harems to join in and repeat the process. Females end up mating with several males laying eggs in as many nests as partners they can have during a breeding season. The male usually continues the incubation and once the egg hatch he will take care of them until these become independent. But, not all males will stay sitting on their eggs. Rheas are rather promiscuous. All chicks never know their mothers, most are raised by their father, but some never know neither and are raised by an unrelated foster father. Whether the real father or not, male Rheas are extremely protective of the chicks under their responsibility facing off threats they would otherwise run away from; including humans. ... " Rheas mating Thats probably a coiled female phallus stimulating the male cloaca to produce sperm. Reah nesting Greater rhea male at nest with eggs incubating harem eggs from different females Greater Rheas in Argentina also follow a similar polyandrous mating system... " ... Males are simultaneously polygynous, females are serially polyandrous. In practice, this means that the females move around during breeding season, mating with a male and depositing their eggs with the male before leaving him and mating with another male. Males on the other hand are sedentary, attending the nests and taking care of incubation and the hatchlings all on their own. Recent evidence has shown that some males will utilize subordinate males to help incubate and protect the eggs. If this happens, the dominant male will find a second harem and start the process over again. ... " Wikipedia Another member of the ratite family (cassowaries, emus, rheas and ostriches) is the Tinamou. The breeding pattern is the same. Larger dominant females mate with many males during the breeding season, while the males do all the incubating and raising of young: " ... Tinamous form an order of birds (Tinamiformes), comprising a single family (Tinamidae) with two distinct subfamilies, containing 47 species found in Mexico, Central America, and South America. The word "tinamou" comes from the Galibi term for these birds, tinamu. Tinamous have traditionally been regarded as the sister group of the flightless ratites, but recent work places them well within the ratite radiation, implying basal ratites could fly. Although some species are quite common, tinamous are shy and secretive birds. They are active during the day, retiring to roosts at night. They generally have cryptic plumage, with males and females similar in appearance, though the females are usually larger. ... With occasional exceptions, a male tinamou maintains a territory and a nesting site during the breeding season which a succession of females will visit, laying their eggs in the same nest. Females will wander through several territories mating with, and laying eggs in the nests of, the resident males. ... In most tinamou species, the males practice simultaneous polygyny and the females sequential polyandry ... The courtship process starts with the male vocally advertising his abilities with continuous calling. He will try to attract multiple females. A tinamou female lays several eggs which the male incubates while the female departs to seek another mate. Large species will lay one egg every 3–4 days, while the smaller ones lay on consecutive days. The females lay eggs in multiple nests throughout the nesting season. There may be as many as 16 eggs in a clutch, a consequence of several females laying in the same nest. The more mature male will attract more females and may have the eggs of up to four females under him. ... " Wikipedia Some timanous also have a penis - but it is not easy to determine their sex by looking for a penis, because some female Timanous also have a pseudo penis: " ... Some species of tinamous are sexually dimorphic in their plumage. In most species, however, male and female plumages are virtually identical. Females tend to be larger than males, but there is extensive overlap which makes accurate sexing difficult.

" ... Red-billed buffalo-weaver
Buffalo weavers are unique amongst birds in that both males and females possess a phalloid organ, a phallus-like structure anterior to the cloaca, the terminal region of the gut into which the intestinal, urinary and genital canals open. Observations and experiments with red-billed buffalo weavers in captivity revealed that the phalloid appendage functioned as a stimulatory organ which necessitated protracted copulation in order to induce male ‘orgasm’ and ejaculation, a feature also unique to this species.
The species is very much a polyandrous breeder with cooperating males fathering chicks in the same nest, feeding the young and defending the nest together. Brief copulations happen a lot both with females and with other males where no sperm transfer takes place. A minority of copulations successfully transfer sperm when repeated mountings over a period lasting as long as 30 minutes took place. ... " Johan van Rensburg

Was reading a discussion by Freud that the Egyptians believed all vultures to be female (Freud on Leonardo da Vinci) The vulture was symbol of Isis - the great mother. This image probably unknowingly existed with Ostrich feathers which are usually associated with kingship in ancient Egypt and tribal chiefs in east Africa - the black and white ostrich feathers are female not male. What does all female mean though? Probably many intelligent species are really only female sentient. This image occurs in Japanese erotica - in the futa mythology "binding" with a dominant female futa is really one way - the male loses his mind over time. Binding of futa to submissive is caused by an addiction to futa semen - which is reputed to be as addictive as heroin and eventually becomes the futa sub's only desired source of nutrition. Also in alchemical imagery - the final product is the phallic "noble empress" - the union of king and queen in the alchemical bath is a futa - a woman with a penis ... " ... In the Codex Atlanticus Leonardo recounts being attacked as an infant in his crib by a bird. Freud cite the passage as:
“It seems that it had been destined before that I should occupy myself so thoroughly with the vulture, for it comes to my mind as a very early memory, when I was still in the cradle, a vulture came down to me, he opened my mouth with his tail and struck me a few times with his tail against my lips.”
According to Freud, this was a childhood fantasy based on the memory of sucking his mother's nipple. He backed up his claim with the fact that Egyptian hieroglyphs represent the mother as a vulture, because the Egyptians believed that there are no male vultures and that the females of the species are impregnated by the wind. In most representations the vulture-headed maternal deity was formed by the Egyptians in a phallic manner, her body which was distinguished as feminine by its breasts also bore the penis in a state of erection. ...

The Sri Lankan junglefowl (Gallus lafayettii) is the national bird of Sri Lanka. They are polyandrous meaning that a single female is typically linked with two or three males." The image provided is that of the vibrantly hued larger Sri Lankan junglefowl which is labeled male. However, my suspicion is that this is a dominant female based on images of chickens laying eggs. In videos of chickens mating, the larger bird mounts the smaller bird. But images of egg laying are linked to the larger bird which means that female chikens are sexually dominant over male chickens. - Video of chicken mating: The bright red comb mounts the small comb (or no comb). - Video of chicken mating. Its not always that the larger bird mounts the smaller bird. But the mount always has a prominent comb. The bird being mounted sometimes has a comb, but not always. -- Video of chicken laying an egg: Bright red comb - female- laying an egg. The smaller submissive male bird then takes over and hatches it. Thats where the confusion comes in. According to wikipedia : " ... Roosters can usually be differentiated from hens by their striking plumage of long flowing tails and shiny, pointed feathers on their necks (hackles) and backs (saddle), which are typically of brighter, bolder colours than those of females of the same breed. However, in some breeds, such as the Sebright chicken, the rooster has only slightly pointed neck feathers, the same colour as the hen's. The identification can be made by looking at the comb, or eventually from the development of spurs on the male's legs (in a few breeds and in certain hybrids, the male and female chicks may be differentiated by colour). Adult chickens have a fleshy crest on their heads called a comb, or cockscomb, and hanging flaps of skin either side under their beaks called wattles. Collectively, these and other fleshy protuberances on the head and throat are called caruncles. Both the adult male and female have wattles and combs, but in most breeds these are more prominent in males. ... " Wikipedia There is a lack of egg-laying videos online - but something got through! CG Jung would call this a psychological "complex". Kind of like negros in America. At the root of the complex is probably the dragon archetype. The ancient Mexicans revered this as the feathered serpent - Quetzalcoatl. We see a lot of feathered serpents at the Brazilian Carnaval. They are samba "queens with a penis" ... - Feathered Serpent head at the Ciudadela complex in Teotihuacan, Mexico - Vision Serpent depicted on lintel 15 from Yaxchilan. Mexico Vision serpents ! - May have something to do with lucid dreaming - A vivid description of a vision serpent can be found in Ken Kelzer's "The sun and the shadow" (1987). - Although in the example cited the serpent is still exteriorized. The serpent dream was initially a cowboys and Indians dream - the menacing Indians turned into the serpents. My perspective is more from the native point of view ... In my personal experience lucid dreaming can be a peak mystical experience - but it is a difficult discipline that can also be linked to darker and more disturbing experiences like "alien abductions" and should be approached with respect and great care. The best analogy would probably be the Occlumency that professor Snape tries to teach Harry Potter in JK Rowling's " Order of the Phoenix." Without knowledge of that snake, it can and probably will take over your psyche. In a male - "she" will "mount" you and take over ... Thats the darkness that everyone playing with dreams is going to encounter. - No exceptions ... I suppose the snake is male in a female dreamer - For American women - probably the phallic Negro. - We own that - it's not a projection out there ... (Jan 8, 2019) Also, since the snake/serpent/dragon is probably male in females, and the avian male does the incubation and hatching and nurturing of the young, taping into the serpent energy in women will probably bring out latent mothering instincts that are withering on the vine in the present day culture ...
I think the jury is out on common Mallard ducks too. Most film focuses on hatching not the actual laying of eggs. The avian pattern seems to be dominant polyandrous female laying eggs followed by submissive male hatching of those eggs. In the mammal world, all female lemurs have a pseudo penis and are dominant as well as several monkeys like the squirrel monkey and the spider monkey as well as several species of moles. Also larger species like Whales, Octopuses and Elephants are female ruled. With all whales the females are larger, and elephant females even have a pseudo penis. " ... In elephants, males and females have an identical anogenital distance, which means that the amount of physical space between the anus and the penis (or penile-clitoris) is exactly the same. Moreover, males have no scrotum, which is usually a handy way to determine maleness in mammals that have retractable penises. However, social context in elephants does provide fairly reliable information about the sex of individuals. Adult female elephants are never without a group, whereas adult males are never part of one (unless a male is copulating with a female). ... " Wild Sex: The Science Behind Mating in the Animal Kingdom, by Carin Bondar.
My suspicion is female domination is much more common than is generally known in the animal world. This is one of those subjects were the scientific evidence clearly has a bias. When the evidence points to female sexual domination, the scientific discussion becomes muted or even silent giving the impression that male sexual domination is the norm. Also science is completely blind to eros - which does not necessarily lead to reproduction. It is also probably how mythological creatures like "dragons" mate. - Thats probably what mami wata is - a water dragon - as well as ancient goddesses like the Roman Vesta. The hermaphrodite is also the Fon deity Mawu-Lisa. And the Hindu's envision an ultimate melding of the Shiva and Shakhti energy as the ultimate goal of self-realization. Science is in the middle of a "Polyandry revolution": " ... What is polyandry? Polyandry is when a female mates with two or more different males (the male equivalent, one male mating with multiple females, being called ‘polygyny’). Monandry on the other hand is when a female only mates with a single male. True monandry, therefore, requires that a female becomes completely unreceptive after an initial copulation, or remains receptive to only one individual. Until recently, monandry was viewed as the most typical form of female sexual behaviour. Why is that? Part of the reason might have been that the predominantly male scientists of the past had various preconceptions about how females, human or otherwise, should behave. Little did they know... Indeed.
The breakthrough came with DNA fingerprinting. Fingerprinting studies revealed that the patterns of mating that biologists had viewed through their binoculars did not match the actual patterns of paternity among offspring. Instead, females across
a very broad range of species were found to be mating with multiple males . This was most startling in birds previously thought to be monogamous. An example is the dunnock, which the Reverend Frederick Morris urged his Victorian parishioners to imitate for its “humble and homely... deportment and habits”. The resulting ‘polyandry revolution’ has led to a paradigm shift in the study of reproductive behaviour. Polyandry is now a common trait that evolutionary biologists must try and explain ... "

The "Loa" promised by the rainbow serpent in Fon Voodoo are probably snakes or dragons as illustrated in the cartoon below.

The Fon voodoo Legba penis is attached to women , not men. Thats probably why they call Legba a "trickster" god. - It's easier for women to receive the dragon - they are receiving power. Men on the other hand are losing power by embracing their female side. With the Fon there was a massive imbalance - 1 King and thousands of Amazons.

Known by many other names, she is the gentle and nurturing aspect of the Hindu goddess Shakti and one of the central deities of the Goddess-oriented Shakta sect. She is the mother goddess in Hinduism, and has many attributes and aspects. Each of her aspects is expressed with a different name, giving her over 100 names in regional Hindu stories of India. Along with Lakshmi (goddess of wealth and prosperity) and Saraswati (goddess of knowledge and learning), she forms the trinity of Hindu goddesses ... Parvati is the wife of the Hindu god Shiva - the protector, the destroyer (of evil) and regenerator of the universe and all life. She is the daughter of the mountain king Himavan and queen Mena.Parvati is the mother of Hindu deities Ganesha and Kartikeya. The Puranas also referenced her to be the sister of the preserver god Vish With Shiva, Parvati is a central deity in the Shaiva sect. In Hindu belief, she is the recreative energy and power of Shiva, and she is the cause of a bond that connects all beings and a means of their spiritual release. In Hindu temples dedicated to her and Shiva, she is symbolically represented as the argha. She is found extensively in ancient Indian literature, and her statues and iconography grace Hindu temples all over South Asia and Southeast Asia. ... " Wikipedia *** There is no discussion of the breasts in Parvati's wikipedia - but this is the central focus of her statue at the Freer. I received the inner vision of the "third breast" after posting this. This nurturing image is the central focus of the Parvati cult and is a common feature in ancient Hindu goddess iconography. Breasts today are problematic though. Many social media sites ban their open display, even for breastfeeding, and they have instead become the morbid focus of cancer fears. Even at the Brazilian carnaval, special permission is required to display naked breasts, and topless beaches are still forbidden in Rio and Sao Paulo. I have not seen an example of a Vesta- type female phallus in Hindu iconography, but the scenes of explicit sexual intercourse all over the Konark sun-temple are probably the same thing. Also, Parvati's son Ganesha has a penis-like trunk coming out of his head instead of a normal face. *** - Unknown 988 Renata Frisson - Unknown 989 Ângela Bismarchi - Unknown 990 Andréa Martins - Unknown 991 Swazi Reed Dance Festival - Unknown 992 Swazi Reed Dance Festival - Princess Sikhanyiso Dlamini - center (2006) - Unknown 993 Swazi Reed Dance Festival - Unknown 994 Swazi Reed Dance Festival - Unknown 995 Swazi Reed Dance Festival - Unknown 996 Swazi Reed Dance Festival - Unknown 997 Swazi Reed Dance Festival - Unknown 998 Swazi Reed Dance Festival (2009) - Unknown 999 Swazi Reed Dance Festival (2009) - Unknown 1000 Swazi Reed Dance Festival - Unknown 1001 Swazi Reed Dance Festival - Unknown 1002 Swazi Reed Dance Festival - Unknown 1003 Swazi Reed Dance Festival - Princess Sikhanyiso Dlamini - center - Unknown 1004 Swazi Reed Dance Festival - Unknown 1005 Swazi Reed Dance Festival - Unknown 1006 Swazi Reed Dance Festival - Unknown 1007 Swazi Reed Dance Festival - Unknown 1008 Swazi Reed Dance Festival - Unknown 1009 Swazi Reed Dance Festival - King Mswati lll and his daughter Princess Sikhanyiso According to Wikipedia: Umhlanga , or Reed Dance ceremony, is an annual Swazi and Zulu event.In Swaziland, tens of thousands of unmarried and childless Swazi girls and women travel from the various chiefdoms to the Ludzidzini Royal Village to participate in the eight-day event. The young, unmarried girls were placed in female age-regiments; girls who had fallen pregnant outside wedlock had their families fined a cow. Umhlanga was created in the 1940s in Swaziland under the rule of Sobhuza II, and is an adaptation of the much older Umcwasho ceremony. The reed dance continues to be practised today in Swaziland. In South Africa, the reed dance was introduced in 1991 by Goodwill Zwelithini, the current King of the Zulus. The dance in South Africa takes place in Nongoma, a royal kraal of the Zulu king. In South Africa, the ceremony is known as Umkhosi woMhlanga, and takes place every year in September at the Enyokeni Royal Palace in Nongoma, KwaZulu-Natal. The girls come from all parts of Zululand, and in recent years there are also smaller groups from Swaziland, as well as more distant places such as Botswana and Pondoland. All girls are required to undergo a virginity test before they are allowed to participate in a royal dance. In recent years the testing practice has been met with some opposition. The girls wear traditional attire, including beadwork, and izigege and izinculuba that show their bottoms. They also wear anklets, bracelets, necklaces, and colourful sashes. Each sash has appendages of a different colour, which denote whether or not the girl is betrothed. As part of the ceremony, the young women dance bare-breasted for their king, and each maiden carries a long reed, which is then deposited as they approach the king. The girls take care to choose only the longest and strongest reeds, and then carry them towering above their heads in a slow procession up the hill to Enyokeni Palace.The procession is led by the chief Zulu princess, who takes a prominent role throughout the festival.If the reed should break before the girl reaches that point, it is considered a sign that the girl has already been sexually active. The ceremony was reintroduced by King Goodwill Zwelethini in 1991, as a means to encourage young Zulu girls to delay sexual activity until marriage, and thus limit the possibility of HIV transmission. In 2007, about 30,000 girls took part to the event. The organisers of the ceremony have occasionally enforced strict rules on photographers, as some of them have been accused of publishing pictures of the rites on pornographic websites. In past years, the event was attended by former President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma (himself a Zulu), and former Premier of KwaZulu-Natal, Zweli Mkhize. In Swaziland, girls begin the rite by gathering at the Queen Mother's royal village, which currently is Ludzidzini Royal Village. After arriving at the Queen Mother's royal residence, the women disperse the following night to surrounding areas and cut tall reeds. The following night, they bundle the reeds together and bring them back to the Queen Mother to be used in repairing holes in the reed windscreen surrounding the royal village. After a day of rest and washing, the women prepare their traditional costumes consisting of a bead necklace, rattling anklets made from cocoons, a sash, and skirt. Many of them carry the bush knives, which they had earlier used to cut the reeds, as symbols of their virginity. The women sing and dance as they parade in front of the royal family as well as a crowd of dignitaries, spectators, and tourists. After the parade, groups from select villages take to the centre of the field and put on a special performance for the crowd. The King's many daughters and royal princesses also participate in the reed dance ceremony and are distinguished by the crown of red feathers they wear in their hair. The present form of the Reed Dance developed in the 1940s from the Umcwasho custom, where young girls were placed in age regiments to ensure their virginity. Once they had reached marriageable age, they would perform labour for the Queen Mother followed by dancing and a feast. The official purpose of the annual ceremony is to preserve the women's chastity, provide tribute labour for the Queen Mother, and produce solidarity among the women through working together. The reed dance videos were once classified as age-restricted content by Youtube, which angered the users who had uploaded them. This included Lazi Dlamini, the head of TV Yabantu, an online video production company that aims to produce content that “protects, preserves and restores African values”. Working with more than 200 cultural groupings across the country and in neighbouring Swaziland, Dlamini organised a series of protests against Google to force them to rethink their position. At last, YouTube apologized, and allowed the showing of bonafide African traditional videos , - Google says it has lifted the restriction on the videos that were age-restricted as it is not its policy to restrict nudity in such instances where it is culturally or traditionally appropriate." ...

According to reports of the retirement of Princess Sikhanyiso: " ... Inkhosatana Princess Sikhanyiso, former leader of the Imbali YemaSwati regiment has officially retired from her position as the regiment’s leader and from participating at the Annual Reed dance. Her royal highness announced her retirement during the 2015 Annual Reed Dance where she was adorned in a sidvwashi instead of the sichobo that she had always worn. Born on the 1st of September 1987 to His Majesty King Mswati III and HRH Inkhosikati LaMbikiza, Princess Sikhanyiso is king’s first child. As the Inkhosatana of the royal family she was crowned the leader of the Imbali when she came of age. Her royal highness took to her role like a fish to water as she spearheaded the purity campaign where all the maidens were encouraged to protect their chastity until marriage. The Imbali Foundation was also formed as a means to address the country’s increasing poverty that had resulted in an increasing number of young girls prematurely losing their virginity for various reasons linked to poverty. Her absence at this year’s Annual Reed Dance was glaringly noticeable as both days ended without her awe inspiring giya dance which has come to form part of the highlights of the entire ceremony with it being the Umhlanga’s crescendo. The intelligent and strong willed royal has managed to gain a substantial following through her passion for the Swazi tradition. A custodian of our customs in her own right, Princess Sikhanyiso has definitely filled the shoes of the country’s role model for the next generation of Swazi women. She has completely revolutionized the Umhlanga dances through her love for the arts and this is evident in the new songs that the maidens sing and the creative footwork that goes with it. Needless to say, these moves would have definitely been inspired by Her Royal Highness’s limber moves whenever she takes center field to giya. ...

"A youthful king suckles at the udder of the mother-goddess Hathor, depicted as a cow. His black flesh may indicate that he is deceased, this color being associated with the underworld, the dead, and Osiris: but the color black also symbolizes renewal and rebirth, and its use implies that the king will be restored to life." Walters Gallery Painted limestone, Thebes, New Kingdom, 19th dynasty, c.1300-1200 B.C. I think the plain reading of the black skin is what we used to call "Negro". To me this is evidence of another black African dynasty of ancient Egypt - the Ramesses dynasty. The impression is more of a Maasai and his cow than anything Hollywood would envision as a Ramesses pharaoh. According to Wikipedia: " ... Hathor was a major goddess in ancient Egyptian religion who played a wide variety of roles. As a sky deity, she was the mother or consort of the sky god Horus and the sun god Ra, both of whom were connected with kingship, and thus she was the symbolic mother of their earthly counterparts, the pharaohs. She was one of several goddesses who acted as the Eye of Ra, Ra's feminine counterpart, and in this form she had a vengeful aspect that protected him from his enemies. Her contrasting, beneficent side represented music, dance, joy, love, sexuality, and maternal care, and she acted as the consort of several male deities and the mother of their sons. These two sides of the goddess exemplified the Egyptian conception of femininity. Hathor also crossed boundaries between worlds, helping deceased souls in the transition to the afterlife. Hathor was often depicted as a cow, symbolizing her maternal and celestial aspects, although her most common form was a woman wearing a headdress of cow horns and a sun disk. She could also be represented as a lioness, cobra, or sycomore tree. ...

In mythology, Amazons were mighty female warriors who fought against the Greeks. These sensual but fierce women offered Classical sculptors the opportunity to depict the bared female breast. This statue reproduces a famous Greek original depicting an Amazon wounded beneath her right breast. It was one of several statues of Amazons entered in a sculptors' competition at the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus in western Asia Minor, about 440 BC. The sculptor of this entry is believed to have been Kresilas. According to the ancient writer Pliny, the contest was judged by the sculptors themselves, and each voted for his own first and gave second place honors to a work by Polyclitus, making him the winner. Kresilas received third prize. ... " Walters Gallery The Amazons in Greek history are poorly documented. For example, the Parthenon marbles are at least half Amazons. The record of their true status in antiquity is still very murky. Also, there is an African component to the Amazons that is not in the historical record but can be found in African mythology - for example the Dahomey amazons and the mythical founders of the Kikuyu tribe. My intuition is the amazons are more psychic than physical - ie they exist on another level of existence - probably what the Yoruba call the world of the Orishas. They are females with an active masculine side - probably best envisioned as a woman with a penis ... We find this image literally in the Roman temple of Vesta as documented on page 90 of this website. The Palladium - a wooden figure representing Athena was protected by the Roman vestal virgins - this is probably the most direct link of Vesta to the Parthenon which was a temple dedicated to Athena - a goddess with a well developed masculine side. . . I think it is safe to imagine that the fiery female phallus associated with Vesta was also associated with Athena. This mythical female phallus - the "fascinum" and the life-giving sacred semen secreted from it - eros - was probably at the central core of all the greco-roman religious mysteries. - Unknown 1325 Ancient Roman Bronze Tintinnabulum (wind charm), circa 1st Century BC, excavated at Pompeii. - It depicts a woman with an erect penis mounted upon a phallic steed or fascinum. (- Compare with riding the spice producing worm in the sci-fi classic "Dune".) - Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema - "Sappho and Alcaeus" (1881)- Walters Gallery, Baltimore: " ... In 1870, the Dutch-born, Belgian-trained artist Alma-Tadema moved to London, where he found a ready market among the wealthy middle classes for paintings re-creating scenes of domestic life in imperial Roman times. In this work, however, he turns to early Greece to illustrate a passage by the ancient Greek poet Hermesianax (active ca. 330 BC) preserved in Atheneaus, Deipnosophistae, "Banquet of the Learned," book 2, line 598. On the island of Lesbos (Mytilene), in the late 7th century BC, Sappho and her companions listen rapturously as the poet Alcaeus plays a "kithara." Striving for verisimilitude, Alma-Tadema copied the marble seating of the Theater of Dionysos in Athens, although he substituted the names of members of Sappho's sorority for those of the officials incised on the Athenian prototype. ...

Mami wata is primarily a west African experience. I've never heard of the east African versions ... My subjective impression when I saw this sculpture last week (Jan 2019) is of a powerful female phallus. A mixture of fish and snake. According to the Victoria Miro gallery, London:
" ... Mutu's practice has been described as engaging in her own unique form of myth-making. This exhibition, Nguva na Nyoka (meaning "Sirens and Serpents" in Kiswahili) presents Mutu's latest body of collage, video and sculptural works. Drawing on such diverse references as East African coastal mythologies (particularly of nguvas, or water women), gender and racial politics, Western popular culture, Eastern and ancient beliefs and autobiography, in her works Mutu proposes worlds within worlds, populated by powerful hybridised female figures. ... The interweaving of fact with fiction and an extension of the possibilities for yet another group of symbolic female characterisations that co-exist in various cultures as another understanding (or constructing) of femaleness underpins this new body of work. The exhibition also features a video, entitled Nguva, a multi-tiered performance featuring the mesmeric eponymous role: a mysterious acquatic character who emerges from the sea onto land and wanders, restless, vicious and curious. ... " Victoria Miro Gallery, London - My subjective vison was right! A powerful female phallus attached to a snake/fish woman ... *** (Jan 24, 2019) Shortly after posting this I found an out of print version of a psychological study of east African siren who was famous during the Victorian era and may have contributed to the opening up of British east Africa: "She" by H Ridder Haggard. The study is "Anima as fate" by Cornelia Brunner (1986) Many of the ideas worked here are very familiar to me in an involuntary way - i.e. the images that forced themselves on to Haggard have also forced themselves onto me! Particularly strange is a pillar of fire represented by the "white queen" who lives somewhere in central Africa. She has spent 2 thousand years waiting for a lover who will join her in the flames - but for obvious reasons no man has the guts to do it. The "fiery female phallus" - that's the image the came to me as I was reading this book. Emperor Theodosius snuffed out her fire in 391 AD - but apparently she has an an African sister somewhere out there! According to Wikipedia: " ... "She, subtitled A History of Adventure, is a novel by English writer H. Rider Haggard, first serialised in The Graphic magazine from October 1886 to January 1887. She was extraordinarily popular upon its release and has never been out of print. ... A young Cambridge University professor, Horace Holly, is visited by a colleague, Vincey, who reveals that he will soon die. Vincey proceeds to tell Holly a fantastical tale of his family heritage. He charges Holly with the task of raising his young son, Leo (whom he has never seen) and gives Holly a locked iron box, with instructions that it is not to be opened until Leo turns 25. Holly agrees, and indeed Vincey is found dead the next day. Holly raises the boy as his own; when the box is opened on Leo's 25th birthday they discover the ancient and mysterious "Sherd of Amenartas", which seems to corroborate Leo's father's story. Holly, Leo and their servant, Job, follow instructions on the Sherd and travel to eastern Africa but are shipwrecked. They alone survive, together with their Arab captain, Mahomed; after a perilous journey into an uncharted region of the African interior, they are captured by the savage Amahagger people. The adventurers learn that the natives are ruled by a fearsome white queen, who is worshipped as Hiya or "She-who-must-be-obeyed". The Amahagger are curious about the white-skinned interlopers, having been warned of their coming by the mysterious queen. They are taken to the home of the queen, which lies near the ruins of the lost city of Kôr, a once mighty civilisation that predated the Egyptians. The queen and her retinue live under a dormant volcano in a series of catacombs built as tombs for the people of Kôr. There, Holly is presented to the queen, a white sorceress named Ayesha. Her beauty is so great that it enchants any man who beholds it. She, who is veiled and lies behind a partition, warns Holly that the power of her splendour arouses both desire and fear, but he is dubious. When she shows herself, however, Holly is enraptured and prostrates himself before her. Ayesha reveals that she has learned the secret of immortality and that she possesses other supernatural powers including the ability to read the minds of others, a form of clairvoyance and the ability to heal wounds and cure illness; she is also revealed to have a tremendous knowledge of chemistry, but is notably unable to see into the future. She tells Holly that she has lived in the realm of Kôr for more than two millennia, awaiting the reincarnated return of her lover, Kallikrates (whom she had slain in a fit of jealous rage). Later, when Holly inadvertently and secretly discovers Ayesha in her hidden chamber, he learns that she may have some degree of power to reanimate the dead. *** Kôr is probably in the Congo/Rwanda/Uganda area. Or maybe around Mt Kenya or Mt Longonot or near Sir Northrup's national park in Ukambani. There something there - something pre-pyramids. I saw it in a dream as a literal passageway to another planet - i.e. a passage from the inside of a volcano - Mt Longonot - into another world - out from a dark chamber into the clouds and blue sky over another world. Earth probably has a twin - somewhere out there. - A "pillar of fire" led the children of Israel out of 18th dynasty Egypt. Also during the 18th dynasty the Aten sun disc was worshiped along with a "pillar of the sun" symbolically contained in the obelisk. - And at the end of Arthur C Clarks's "Childhoods end" - the sun children ascend in pillar of fire (that also destroys the planet). And of course in "Lost" the only purpose of the island is to guard the sacred flame/pool hidden in the bamboo forest. *** - Churchhill used to call Uganda the "pearl of Africa" and prior to Kenyan independence there was a sizable population of Afrikaners living in western Kenya but working in Uganda. Apparently they migrated as a group out of Kenya in 1961, but I have been unable to find accounts of a mass migration of Afrikaners back to South African in the early 1960's. What I have seen , on the other hand, as dream images , is of a large European settlement somewhere in central Africa. - This dream image is probably related to the mass eviction of Ugandan Asians that happened soon after Kenyan independence - probably a preventative "clearing out" in favor of Kenyan Europeans displaced by independence. For a capsule summary of this poorly researched era of British east African history see "Happy Valley: the story of the English in Kenya" by Nicholas Best (2013). This book is one of the few sources of the exodus of the Afrikaners of Uasin Gishu - Kalengin land. For example I heard a Kenyan politician say FW de Klerk was born in Eldoret, Kenya - although Wikipedia says he was born in South Africa. They flooded out suddenly as a group in 1961. Soon after the British Kenyans followed suit at the rate of 700 a month. Also see this blog of an Afrikaner high school in Kenya: the Hill school , Eldoret , Kenya that had the dual mandate of educating the children of Kenyan and Ugandan Afrikaners. *** (Jan 29, 2018) One possible destination for the large group of Kenyan boers in 1961 would be the mineral rich province of Katanga in Belgian Congo. Events in Congo in 1961 were a subject of intense debate by Kenyan Afrikaners at the time. For the most part the debate was framed as fear of the fate of white settlers in Congo during the exit of Belgium as a colonial power. However, another side of the debate that has received very little attention was the active support of British and American intelligence services for a separate state of Katanga. The records suggest that a white militia, operating with the support of the C.I.A. and British intelligence, orchestrated the 1961 plane crash that killed the United Nations secretary general, Dag Hammarskjold. : " ... When South Africa opened its books on the atrocities of the apartheid era in the 1990s, a tantalizing series of faded documents reignited one of the continent’s enduring mysteries. The records suggested that a white militia, operating with the support of the C.I.A. and British intelligence, orchestrated the 1961 plane crash that killed the United Nations secretary general, Dag Hammarskjold. ... "New York Times, Jan 29, 2018 Furthermore, according to Wikipedia: " ... "The Ndola United Nations DC-6 crash occurred on 18 September 1961 in Northern Rhodesia. The crash resulted in the deaths of Dag Hammarskjöld, the second Secretary-General of the United Nations, and 15 others. Hammarskjöld had been en route to cease-fire negotiations with Moise Tshombe during the Congo Crisis. ... At the time of Hammarskjöld's death, intelligence agencies of the U.S. and its allies were actively involved in the political situation in the Congo, which culminated in Belgian and United States support for the secession of Katanga and the assassination of former prime minister Patrice Lumumba. Belgium and the United Kingdom had a vested interest in maintaining their control over much of the country's copper industry during the Congolese transition from colonialism to independence. Concerns about the nationalisation of the copper industry could have provided a financial incentive to remove either Lumumba or Hammarskjöld. ... " While an independent Katanga did not happen, the US was able to prevent communist penetration of Congo by removing Lumumba and replacing him with the pro-western dictator Mobutu. Katanga province had a sizable population of boers which probably increased with the fall of Lumumba. - When doing research on this issue I realized that the flag of the insurgent republic of Katanga incorporates 3 red "X" shaped Katanga crosses - which "were the emblems of king (Mwami) Siri who governed this country (the Realm of Garengaze)" From earlier research below, a single red Katanga cross on a white background was once the flag of the Kingdom of Kongo that was the source for the majority of the slaves sold to the new world.: " ... There is an ancient tradition associated with the Katanga Cross and copper in this part of Africa. Copper mining in Katanga dates back over 1,000 years and the mines of Katanga have been operated for centuries. The copper was exported as far as the coast of Angola to the south and to Europe, as early as the 16th century. Those who controlled production and distribution of the copper cross currencies were the group leaders - ‘The Elders’. Local coppersmiths poured molten copper into sand molds and made the crosses in various sizes, usually about 20 centimeters (7.9 in) across, and weighing about 1 kilogram (2.2 lb). One cross could pay for five to six chickens, two lengths of good quality fabric, nine pounds of rubber or six axes and four to six crosses was enough to pay for one goat. For ten such crosses, one would buy a gun. However, the exact value of crosses in units of weight is unknown .

Water goddess Oxum and her abebe (mirror). Today Oxum is associated with wealth as symbolized by gold - but her original African association with wealth was symbolized by copper. Allegory based on a novel by Jorge Amado published in 1969 "Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands" about carnaval and afro/brazilian religious beliefs and rituals in Salvador, Bahia in the 19th century. According to wikipedia: " ... The novel, set in Salvador, Bahia, opens with the sudden death of Dona Flor's husband, Vadinho, who collapses in the midst of Carnival celebrations. He is dancing a samba in the streets when his heart gives out, a surprise to all as Vadinho had spent his entire life gambling, partying and drinking with no hint of problems. His nights on the town and his two-timing had been supported by sponging off Dona Flor, the owner of a successful cooking school and his demands for money had been a constant worry and cause of sleepless nights for her. The women of the town thought she was well rid of him. But after Vadinho's death, he remained the love of her life and she missed his seductiveness. He was irresistible, and his absence was, for Dona Flor, worse than the long nights when she waited for him to come home. After a period of mourning, Dona Flor attracts another admirer, a local pharmacist, Teodoro. Unlike Vadinho he is a pillar of respectability, kind and considerate. Dona Flor accepts his proposal. While her new husband lacks the passionate sensuality of Vadinho, he compensates by providing a life free of worry. But, on the first anniversary of her marriage, Vadinho returns. He is now a ghost, but has lost none of his old ways. His activities create commotion everywhere, from Dona Flor’s marriage bed to the local nightspots. She is torn between her attraction to the ghost and her desire to continue as the faithful wife of Teodoro, who has no idea what is going on. ... Throughout the novel, Amado draws on Afro-Brazilian rituals and folklore. In the final section local deities get heavily involved, as well as most of the mystics of Bahia. But Vadinho is the centerpiece of the novel, and the book captures the extravagance of his exploits, both during his life and after his death...."

I want to focus on changing rape culture. By Sharma Shields" In Greek mythology many times the goddesses kill mortal men who see them bathing naked; and most readings of female mortal sex with a deity are interpreted as rape; - with mami water, on the other hand what usually happens is the mortal male enters into a secret erotic relationship with the mirror wielding goddess or mermaid that allows him to peek onto her nakedness. It's a very noticeable difference in orientation between the west and the Negro world ... To me, the water goddess-with-a-mirror image is probably a signal from the unconscious psyche that we are mostly in an auto-erotic situation when we have nocturnal sexual encounters with a "goddess"; - ie for a male, the goddess is probably his anima, for the most part.

Beija-Flor de Nilópolis Samba School Set for Carnival 2015. By Lisa Flueckiger, Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – On the second night of Rio’s famous Grupo Especial (Special Group) Carnival samba school parades on Monday, February 16th, the Grêmio Recreativo Escola de Samba Beija-Flor school from Nilópolis is scheduled to enter the Sambódromo as the third school at 11:10 PM. Beija-Flor (meaning hummingbird) was founded as a Carnival bloco in the Baixada Fluminense city of Nilópolis in 1948. It was only five years after the popular local bloco turned itself into a samba school that they managed to parade in Rio’s 1954 Carnival for the first time. Beija-Flor de Nilópolis, as it is often referred as, spent some time in lower groups until they were crowned vice-champion of the former Second Group in 1973 with an enredo (theme) about education. They were promoted to the first division for the next year, but it wasn’t until Joãosinho Trinta took over as carnavalesco (parade designer) in 1976 that the school was really successful. Trinta brought them their first championship title with his spectacle about the jogo do bicho (meaning animal game, an illegal betting game). He gained fame for his anthological and often provoking parades. His Cristo statue dressed up as a beggar was prohibited to be shown by the Catholic Church and when he let a naked couple parade in homage to Leonardo da Vinci he had to justify it at the police station. Furthermore, Beija-Flor is known for the commitment of their participants and connection to their town. Trinta stayed with the school for seventeen consecutive years, while Neguinha da Beija-Flor has been singing for them since 1976 and will do so this year. Even the rainha de bateria (queen of the percussion section), which many schools like to change every year, Raíssa de Oliveira, has been with Beija-Flor since she was twelve years old. Since the arrival of Trinta the samba school has won the championship twelve times, the last time in 2011 when paying tribute to singer Roberto Carlos. They were crowned vice-champion another twelve times, the last one in 2013. They were always part of the Champions Parade, and therefore included in the best six schools, since 1993 and missed it for the first time last year with a 7th place. The parade in 2014 had been about TV entrepreneur and director Boni with “O Astro iluminado da comunicação Brasileira” (The illuminated star of Brazilian communication) and brought an innovation to the Sambódromo with an interaction between the first flag-carrying couple and the vanguard group, though it didn’t help to score enough points. This year, Beija-Flor will, as several other schools, go back to Brazil’s African roots with the enredo: “Um griô conta a história: Um olhar sobre a África e o despontar da Guiné Equatorial. Caminhemos sobre a trilha de nossa felicidade” (A griot [a West African storyteller] tells the story: A look at Africa and the emergence of Equatorial Guinea. Let us walk on the path of our happiness.) The parade will tell the history of Africa and especially Equatorial Guinea, the biggest oil producer on the continent. The 3,800 components should show the “different Africas that are part of the history of Brazil”, as the description of the theme states. The school from Nilópolis will sing about “the African king, who never lost faith, he was my brother, son of Guinea” and “rescue my African soul”, but also touch on such things as the arrival of the Portuguese in the country and slavery.

From Ayesha on down. In "She" the women choose who they will marry and it is highly disrespectful to say no. The only conflict is between the women. The strongest get the first picks and marriage only lasts as long as there is a spark between the lovers. Ayesha herself was so erotic that she warned the Cambridge professor Holly against accepting her offer to see her unveiled; - she warned him that he would instantly be transformed into her submissive mount - the way proud Roman colts were brought to heel under their riders. Holly ignored her warning and quickly submitted to her reptilian lust. ... - Bdsm fantasy of "She-who-must-obeyed" (by Nanshakh) - Bdsm fantasy of a veiled sisterhood mate selection Probably polyandry - as with birds, the alpha females have anywhere from 2 to 7 mates ... The Kikuyu rebelled against this according to Kikuyu Mythology ... "She" herself was served by an army of male and female deaf/mutes that responded to her on a telepathic level - and she was unable to see the problem with a might makes right rule. In her culture it had always been like that - so she had no problem in taking Leo by force from the Amahaggar Ustane who herself also took Leo by force with a marriage by kiss. The penalty for saying no to marriage , like one of the Europeans called Job said no, was "hot-potting" - a gruesome tribal execution ... "She" ("She" :alternate link . Not sure who altered the link - but that's a good pick) was a pure blood Arab from pre-christian Rome who entered the spirit of life at the prime of her sexuality. To outward appearances she was a tall dark haired vixen of no more that 30 years . But graybeards like the Amahaggar African village elders were compelled to prostate themselves in her presence - down on hands and knees. That's probably an accurate image of the devil! We picture the devil as male - but to the ancients the devil was often female. And it makes sense when you realize that dragons are female dominant - just as most birds and dinosaurs. The top layer of early Islam was probably a "She" like matriarchy. The lands of the queen of Sheba are probably at the extremely dark core of the Muslim faith. (March 8, 2019) - The "gods" are constantly changing. Africans may question the pure blood Arab ethnicity of the queen of Sheba, but at the end of the day the pure blood Arabic culture reigns supreme over large parts of black Africa and Asia - including proud cultures like Iran/Persia. Present day Islam no longer has the sex-infused culture of the queen of Sheba "jinn" though ... That was restricted to the Maharajah culture which is now extinct.
(March 8, 2019) As I was working on this problem, another image/problem presented itself to me: the Nordic "rainbow bridge" and the passing of the northern European shamanic culture. "Rainbow bridge": In Wagner the giants breach the bridges defenses and slaughter the higher gods. " ... The Rainbow Bridge ... Bifrost (pronounced roughly “BIF-roast;” Old Norse Bifröst) is the rainbow bridge that connects Asgard, the world of the Aesir tribe of gods, with Midgard, the world of humanity. Bifrost is guarded by the ever-vigilant god Heimdall. During Ragnarok, the giants will breach Heimdall’s defenses and cross the bridge to storm Asgard and slay the gods." norse-mythology.org ... The etymology of the word is uncertain. The original form of the name seems to be Bilröst, which suggests a meaning along the lines of “the fleetingly glimpsed rainbow.” If Bifröst is correct, however, the meaning would be something akin to “the shaking or trembling rainbow.” In either case, the word points to the ephemeral and fragile nature of the bridge – just like the nature of a physical rainbow." " ... " ... Bifröst is the mythological rainbow bridge that connects the world of men on Earth (Midgard) with the realm of the Aesir Nordic gods that live in Asgard. In the collected stories about Nordic mythology, the bridge is described as the main way the Earth is connected with Asgard, and is used for transport of not only gods but also souls of men who have been proved worthy as warriors during their life to accompany Odin and other Nordic gods in the final “end times” battle during mythical event of Ragnarok. " ... Bifrost bridge is very closely connected to the myth of the apocalyptic event of Ragnarok, which describes series of future events, battles, destruction of the world, and the preordained death of almost all the major Nordic gods. The start of Ragnarok will be marked with two specific events – the disappearance of the sun and moon, and the sounding of the horn alarm by Heimdall who guards the rainbow bridge. This prompts Odin and almost all of the other Aesir and Vanir gods, Valkyries, and spirits of brave men who lived at Asgard to ride the Bifrost bridge back to the Earth where the final battle will be fought. In the battle all the gods will die, giants will storm across the Bifrost’s rainbow bridge, raise and destroy Asgard and the bridge itself. Earth, after being burned and submerged will eventually arise from the sea, being reborn anew. " ... The meaning behind the name Bifröst is a hotly contested item that has been closely examined by several historians over past several centuries. The core uncertainty comes from the several possible names that this bridge is known under, and the incomplete information that was collected in the earlier historical works such as Poetic Edda and Prose Edda. The original form of the name most likely is “Bilröst,” which can be loosely translated as “the fleetingly glimpsed rainbow.” The modern and more adopted version of the name Bifröst translates into something similar - “the shaking or trembling rainbow.” "Heimdallr (also known as Heimdall, Heimdal, Heimdali, Rig, Hallinskiði, Gullintanni, and Vindlér or Vindhlér) is the Nordic god who is tasked with the protection of Bifröst bridge against the arrival of Giants who are foretold to destroy Asgard and Earth during the apocalyptic events of Ragnarok. He plays a vital role in Ragnarok and therefore has been bestowed with great importance in many Nordic myths that have been recorded in literary works of Poetic Edda and Prose Edda. According to all the collective records, Heimdall is one of the most important gods in the Norse pantheon. Blessed with the power of foreknowledge, extraordinary sight and hearing, he was tasked to protect the Bifröst from his fortress of Himinbjörg that was located at the place where the shimmering rainbow bridge connected with the lands of Asgard. According to the prophecies known by the Aesir gods, Heimdall would be the first of the gods who will saw the signs of the upcoming Ragnarok, and was preordained to die in battle while killing Loki. The name Heimdallr cannot be fully traced to its true origin, but the historians agree that its name most likely can be translated to “the one who illuminates the world.” In surviving poems and stories, he is also notably called with three different names – Hallinskiði (no translation), Gullintanni (“the one with the golden teeth”) and Vindlér or Vindhlér (“the one protecting against the wind” or “the one protecting against the wind-sea”). Stories about him under these names have provided modern historians with valuable knowledge about his looks and exploits. In Poetic Edda, Heimdall is referenced in six poems (Völuspá, Grímnismál, Lokasenna, Þrymskviða, Rígsþula, and Hrafnagaldr Óðins), while in Prose Edda, he is mentioned in three books (Gylfaginning, Skáldskaparmál, and Háttatal). He was also described in 13th-century Heimskringla Old Norse saga from Iceland and in the 10th-century Saltfleetby spindle whorl inscription that was recently found in England. The written information about the Bifrost bridge is not extensive and can be traced to just the two poems in the Poetic Edda and two books in the Prose Edda, with some additional context being derived from surviving medieval Scandinavian songs and tales. In the poem Fáfnismál, the dying dragon (wyrm) Fafnir shares with the human hero Sigurd the tale of the events of Ragnarok. He described the moment when the gods will descend from the Asgard to Midgard, riding their horses over the rainbow bridge Bifrost who will at that moment break apart and be destroyed forever, leaving the gods on Midgard where they will be forced to pass great rivers with their horses. Since many things about Bifrost bridge are unknown, can be interpreted in many ways due to translation inaccuracies, or have conflicting elements, many theories have arisen about various aspects of the rainbow bridge. John Lindow, professor emeritus specializing in Scandinavian medieval studies and folklore, has proposed a connection between Bifrost and bridge Gjallarbrú. The former connects the land of the living with the realm of the gods, while the latter connects the land of the living with the underworld (or the world of the dead). In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the rainbow bridge Bifrost is an interstellar portal powered by advanced technology that connects the realm of Asgard with eight different worlds, including Earth (Midgard), Jotunheim (frozen planet of Giants), Svartalfheim (home of the Dark Elves), and others. " Götterdämmerung (German: Twilight of the Gods),WWV 86D, is the last in Richard Wagner's cycle of four music dramas titled Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung, or The Ring for short). It received its premiere at the Bayreuth Festspielhaus on 17 August 1876, as part of the first complete performance of the Ring. - My intuition is Asgard has already been sacked - probably occurred during world war 2 - we're just finding about it now. - the analogy that comes to mind is the Mayan Xibalbans - the Mayan lords of death and their bewildering rule over the living. We're in the time of the "sock puppets" or involuntary mounts - maybe thats why the next image is the immersion of the earth under the water - the mounts have issues with water.

I just learned of a new Yoruba Orisha and earthly ruler who might have been overthrown by a "She" in the 12th century AD: Obatala According to Wikipedia: " ... Obatala (known as Obatalá in Latin America and Yoruba mythology) is an Orisha. He is believed to be the Sky Father and the creator of human bodies, which were brought to life by the smooth breath of Olodumare. Obatala is the father of all Orishas and the owner of all ori. Any Orisha may claim an individual, but until that individual is initiated into the priesthood of that Orisha, Obatala still owns that head. Obatala's principal wife is Yemoja (known as Yemú in Cuba). According to the tenets of the Yoruba religion, Obatala is one of the oldest of all of the orishas and was granted authority to create the Earth. Before he could return to heaven and report to Olodumare, Oduduwa, his younger brother (or, in some accounts, sister) usurped his responsibility (due to Obatala's being drunk at the time). He/she took the satchel that Olodumare had given Obatala to aid him in creation, and used it to create land on the primeval ocean. A great feud ensued between the two siblings, and from there came other divinites - Yemoja and Aganju. Oba Obatala was a king in Ife that was deposed by Oduduwa and his supporters. This is re-enacted every year in the Itapa festival in Ife. Ultimately, following the war between Obatala on the one hand and Oduduwa and his sons on the other, the latter were able to subsequently establish a dynasty with the former's reluctant consent. Obatalá (also known as Ochalá or Oxalá; Orichalá or Orixalá) is the oldest "Orisha funfun" ("white deity"), referring to purity, both physically and symbolically as in the "light" of consciousness. In Santería, Obatalá is syncretized with Our Lady of Mercy and Jesus Of Nazareth. In Candomblé, Oxalá (Obatalá) has been syncretized with Our Lord of Bonfim; in that role, he is the patron saint of Bahia. The extensive use of white clothing, which is associated with the worship of Oxalá, has become a symbol of Candomblé in general. Friday is the day dedicated to the worship of Oxalá. A large syncretic religious celebration of the Festa do Bonfim in January in Salvador celebrates both Oxalá and Our Lord of Bonfim; it includes the washing of the church steps with a special water, made with flowers. ... " Wikipedia - (March 20, 2019) The sources are murky, by my intuition says Obatala was probably overthrown by his sister. It's both intuition and the self-evidently Amazon character of the Orisha religion in its current form. - (March 23, 2019) The wikipedia article on Oduduwa suggests an Arabian conquest of the Yoruba nation in the 12th century AD. The article is ambiguous as to the gender of the conqueror though, leaving the door open for an Amazon overlord ... (the term used is "gender fluid" - or as the Japanese would say "Futa"), " ... Oduduwa was not only the first ruler of a unified Ife, but also the progenitor of various independent royal dynasties in Yorubalandand is today venerated as "the hero, the warrior, the leader and father of the Yoruba tribe".For a long time as propagated by early writers of Yoruba history, like the Bayajidda legend of the Hausa people, he was said to be an eastern prince who was driven out of his kingdom in Arabia, specifically from Mecca in present day Saudi Arabia and was forced to migrate in a long march with his followers to present day south western Nigeria where through war lasting many years, he was able to defeat the forces of the 13 indigenous communities of Ife led by Obatala and formed these communities into a single Ife state. He held the praise names Olofin Adimula, Olofin Aye and Olufe.His name, phonetically written by Yoruba language-speakers as Odùduwà and sometimes contracted as Ooduwa, Odudua or Oòdua, is generally ascribed to the ancestral dynasties of Yorubaland because he is held by the Yoruba to have been the ancestor of their numerous crowned kings. Following his posthumous deification, he was admitted to the Yoruba pantheon as an aspect of a primordial divinity of the same name. ...Upon the ending of Oduduwa's time on Earth, there was a dispersal of his children and grandchildren from Ife to the outposts that they had previously founded or gained influence over, in order for them to establish effective control over these places. Each is said to have made his or her mark in the subsequent urbanization and consolidation of the Yoruba confederacy of kingdoms, with each child or grandchild fashioning his or her state after Ile-Ife. Orunto, a child of Oduduwa that was born to his maid, is the ancestor of the families that are entitled to inherit the Obalufe title - it is held by a royal that's traditionally ranked second in the order of precedence at the Ooni's court. Obalufon II Alayemore was on the throne when Oranmiyan returned from his sojourn and ordered that the kingship be given to him and hence back to the legitimate family of Oduduwa. Oranmiyan's son Lajamisan was therefore the progenitor of all of the Oonis that have reigned in Ife from his time till now. ... In contradiction of the preceding historical claims, Ife tradition relates that Oduduwa was an emissary from the community of Oke-Ora, the easternmost part of the Ife cultural area which stretches towards the Northeastern Ijesa people. He descended from the Hills on a chain, earning the oriki Atewonro (which means 'one who descends on a chain'). He is said to have been a warrior that wore armor made of iron. At that time, a confederacy existed between the 13 communities of the valley of Ile-Ife, with each community or 'Elu' having its own Oba; the Oba of Ijugbe, the Oba of Ijio, the Oba of Iwinrin etc. When Oduduwa rose to be a prominent citizen of ancient Ife, he and his group are believed to have conquered most of the 13 component communities and deposed Obatala, subsequently evolving the palace structure with its effective centralized power and dynasty. Due to this, he is commonly referred to as the first Ooni of Ife and progenitor of the legitimate kings of the Yoruba people. ... The first child of Oduduwa, Okanbi Iyunade, married Obatala and later gave birth to the future crowned king of Owu. He is believed to have acquired his crown as a toddler while crying on his grandfather's lap. ... Omonide, Oduduwa's favorite wife, gave birth to Sopasan, the father of the future crowned kings of Ketu. Sopasan was the first to leave Ile-Ife with his mother and crown. He settled at such temporary sites as Oke-Oyan and Aro. At Aro, Soposan died and was succeeded by Owe. The migrants stayed for a number of generations and broke camp in the reign of the seventh king, Ede, who revived the westward migrations and founded a dynasty at Ketu. ... Ajagunla Fagbamila Orangun, the first legitimate son of Oduduwa, is crowned king of Ila. Oduduwa is said to have wanted more sons to silence his critics. On the advice of the Ifa oracle, he went to a stream, where he found a naked lady by the name of Adetinrin Anasin. She eventually became his wife and the mother of Ifagbamila (which means "Ifa saves me") ... Another son is subsequently crowned king of Sabe. ... A third son is crowned king of Popo. ... Oranmiyan went on to found Oyo-Ile. His sons Ajaka and Sango rule Oyo in their turn. ... Oranmiyan was the last son and the most adventurous of the members of Oduduwa's household. He was the first Oba of Benin, the first Alaafin of Oyo, and the sixth Ooni of Ife, in that order. ... After the dispersal of the family of kings and queens, the aborigines became ungovernable, and constituted themselves into a serious threat to the survival of Ife. Thought to be supporters of Obatala who had ruled the land before the arrival of Oduduwa, these people turned themselves into marauders. They would come to town in costumes made of raffia with terrible and fearsome appearances, and burn down houses and loot the markets. It is at this point that Moremi Ajasoro, a princess of Offa, of the lineage of Olalomi Olofagangan, the founder of Offa-Ile and the paramount head of the Ibolo region of the old Oyo kingdom, a member of the Ooduan dynasty by marriage to Oranmiyan, is said to have come onto the scene; she subsequently played a significant role in restoring normalcy back to the situation through a spying mission. She allowed herself to be captured and taken away with them. Subsequent to this she got married to the king of the Ugbo. Her new husband wanted pleasures from her but she wouldn't give in because she was married previously and was on a mission. She told him to tell her the secret of the marauders, he didn't want to but after a great deal of prodding, he gave in. He told her that the only thing they fear was FIRE, if they saw fire they would run. After this information she concocted an escape plan. She asked for some oranges and made the juice have a sleeping effect on the palace people. When they woke up after eating them, they found that she had gone to tell her people of their weakness. The people of Ife were soon prepared for the marauders. ... Native religious traditions about the dawn of time claim that Oduduwa was Olodumare's favourite Orisa. As such, he (or she, as the primordial Oduduwa is gender fluid) was sent from heaven to create the earth upon the waters, a mission he/she had usurped from his/her consort and sibling Obatala, who had been equipped with a snail shell filled with sand and a rooster to scatter the said sand in order to create land. These beliefs are held by Yoruba traditionalists to be the cornerstone of their story of creation. Obatala and Oduduwa here are represented symbolically by a calabash, with Obatala taking the top and Oduduwa taking the bottom. In this narrative, Oduduwa is also known as Olofin Otete, the one who took the Basket of Existence from Olodumare. This cosmology-tradition has sometimes be confused and mixed with the historical Oduduwa ...

One of the tracks on the Havana CD is by a priestess of the Santeria deity Obatala: "Rezos" ("Prayers") by Gladys "Bobi" Cespedes. I was certain the singer was a man, and was intrigued to dig a little deeper when I found out she was a woman. It seems that Obatala is obscure enough that Nigerians have forgotten him. To me that's like forgetting Legba. No Obatala - No Ori - Obatala controls access to the Ori's. (Or Obatala controlled - that was before losing the instruments of creation to his sister. My guess is the erotic energy of Carnaval is the equivalent of the phallic Legba.) For example, an online article from as recently as 2018 shows there is very little knowledge of Obatala in Nigeria itself: " ... YORUBA NATION:KEY MONARCH BACKS PAEDIA EXPRESS ON ODUDUWA
BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU.
Against the generally perceived notion that Oduduwa was the founder of the Yoruba race by several modern scholars which The News office Desk of the E.N.M.Paedia Express Multimedia Group had challenged recently via a world exclusive ,a key monarch of the Yoruba people has thrown his full weight behind this medium's assertion on the founder of Yoruba nation.
On the 8th of August,2018, Olugbo of Ugbo, Oba Fredrick Obateru Akinruntan while unveiling the statue of the god figure ,Moremi said that it was high time he spoke out so as to help correct distortions in the history of Ile Ife and the entire Yoruba nation.
He said :"I stand for the truth and I am ready to prove that truth to all lovers of truth,we should stop telling lies that have been causing confusion in our land for many years,one side of Yoruba history has being told and this is the time to let people know those areas that they have been silent about for so long"
"Yoruba did not start with the arrival of Oduduwa at Ile-ife ,he met 16 communities that Olugbo Obamakin Osangagan was ruling over"
He revealed that for a very long time Moremi had been ignorantly called a goddess but quickly added that she did not descend from any heaven but was actually Olugbo's wife.
The monarch added that Moremi actually gave birth to his forefather but later betrayed her husband..
"The wikipedia article on Moremi reads like a Dahomey Amazon entry: In a Yoruba - Igbo war, Moremi allowed herself to be captured by the Igbo and due to her beauty was married to the Igbo king. While in this position she learned of the enemies weaknesses and used that Intel to help the Yoruba conquer the Igbo. Also in order to secure her mission she promised a river goddess - Esinmirin - to sacrifice her son - a promise which she carried out after the Igbo defeat: : ... Moremi Ajasoro, Princess of the Yoruba was a figure of high significance in the history of the Yoruba peoples of West Africa. She was a member-by-marriage of the royal family of Emperor Oduduwa, the tribe's fabled founding father. The Oloori Moremi lived in the 12th century, hailed from Offa,and was married to the then king of Ile Ife, a kingdom that is said to have been at war with an adjoining tribe who were known to them as the Forest people (Ìgbò in the Yoruba language, though the said tribe is believed by scholars to have had no relation to the contemporary Ìgbòs of modern Nigeria). Scores of Ife citizens were being enslaved by these people, and because of this they were generally regarded with disdain by the Yoruba city-states. Moremi was a very brave and beautiful woman who, in order to deal with the problem facing her people, offered her only son in sacrifice to the Spirit of the river Esimirin so that she could discover the strength of her nation's enemies. She is said to have been taken as a slave by the Igbo and, due to her beauty, married their ruler as his anointed queen. After familiarizing herself with the secrets of her new husband's army, she escaped to Ile-Ife and revealed this to the Yorubas who were able to subsequently defeat them in battle. Following the war she returned to her first husband, King Oramiyan of Ife (and later Oyo), who immediately had her re-instated as his Princess Consort. In order to fulfil the pledge she made to Esimirin before embarking on her mission, her son Olurogbo was given in sacrifice to the Spirit because this is what it asked her for when she returned to its shrine. The Edi Festival is said to have then been started as a means of celebrating the sacrifice the princess made for the people of Yorubaland. Furthermore, a number of public places are named after her in contemporary Nigeria, such as the female residence halls at the University of Lagos and Obafemi Awolowo University. In 2017, Oba Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ile Ife, Osun State, erected a statue of Moremi in his palace. The statue is the tallest in Nigeria, displacing the previous holder of that record (a statue in Owerri, the Imo State capital). It is also the fourth tallest in Africa. ... " - The goddess Esinmirin and her mermaids- - Moremi was probably the Yoruba emperor; probably a "She" - like figure. Does this situation still exist in Nigeria? Maybe ...In the 12th century AD the Yoruba went from worshiping a patriarchal sky god - Obatala , to worshiping a matriarchal river goddess - probably oxun/mami wata. - Unknown 1694 Banda da Rua do Mercado (2014) - Unknown 1695 Legba. - (March 29, 2019) To me, it's an open question whether that phallus is attached to a man. Thats probably a skirt and a female phallus - or what Eric Stanton called a "Princk". Through study of Haitian Vodun, the female Phallus is probably a representation of what happens when Legba "mounts " a female worshiper. African Legba's do not survive on the Internet. But that's the prime drive. No Ori without Legba. Other cultures have this though - there is a massive ancient chalk erect phallus carved into the English countryside : The Cerne Abbas Giant. " ... The Cerne Abbas Giant is a hill figure near the village of Cerne Abbas in Dorset, England. 55 metres (180 ft) high, it depicts a standing nude male figure with a prominent erection and wielding a large club in its right hand. Like many other hill figures it is outlined by shallow trenches cut in the turf and backfilled with chalk rubble. The figure is listed as a scheduled monument of England and the site is owned by the National Trust. The origin and age of the figure are unclear. It is often thought of as an ancient construction, though the earliest mention of it dates to the late 17th century. Early antiquarians associated it, on little evidence, with a Saxon deity, while other scholars sought to identify it with a Celtic Britishfigure of the Greek Hercules or some syncretisation of the two. There is archaeological evidence that parts of the drawing have been lost over time. The lack of earlier descriptions, along with information given to an 18th-century historian by the steward of the manor at the time, leads some modern scholars to conclude that it probably dates from the 17th century, and perhaps originated as political satire. Regardless of its age, the Cerne Abbas Giant has become an important part of local culture and folklore, which often associates it with fertility. It is one of England's best known hill figures and is a visitor attraction in the region. ... " Wikipedia

Although not officially recognized by the Catholic Church, Anastacia is still an important figure in popular Catholic devotion throughout Brazil. She is also venerated by members of the Umbanda and Spiritist traditions. Without an official history, stories of Anastacia's life vary. Some place her birth in Africa — often to a royal family — while others emphasize her Brazilian origins. In all versions she is enslaved and cruelly treated by her owners. Anastacia stoically bears these traumas and treats all people with love. She is often purported to have possessed tremendous healing powers and to have performed other miracles. Eventually, she is punished by her owners by being forced to wear a muzzle-like facemask, which prevents her from speaking, and a heavy iron collar. The reasons given for this punishment vary: some stories report her aiding in the escape of other slaves, others claim she resisted the amorous advances of her master, and yet another places the blame on a mistress jealous of Anastacia's beauty. After a prolonged period of suffering, all the while performing more miracles of healing and peace, Anastacia dies of tetanus from the collar.

She is similar to the Haitian god Maman Brigitte, who is syncretised with the Catholic Saint Brigit.
In Yoruba, the name Oya means "she tore." She is known as Oya-Iyansan – the "mother of nine" — due to the Niger River (known to the Yoruba as the Odo-Oya) traditionally being known for having nine tributaries. In Candomblé, Oya is known as Oiá, lyá Mésàn, or most commonly, Iansã, from the Yoruba Yánsán. Iansã, as in Yoruba religion, commands winds, storms, and lightning. She is the queen of the river Niger, and the mother of nine. She is a warrior and unbeatable. Attributes of Iansã including great intensity of feeling, sensations, and charm.

In other words to banish the dead from the world of the living - which is a form of zombie prevention: the term used is justice for "crimes against life".

After the death and cleansing of the body, which is performed by Omulu-Obaluaiê, Iansã takes care of them to the portals of the orun (parallel world), where they are delivered to the Command of the Exus Skulls, which are the Exus that guard the Umbrais doors. [The Exu of Umbanda is a spiritual entity, supposedly the spirit of someone who was born and died]
Iansã was once the patroness (or matron) of a female secret society, which worshiped the ancestors (people already disembodied belonging to the religion), which we call Egungun, a ritual where spirits of people who are already disembodied are brought to earth.
It was the orixá Ogun that managed to end the primacy of women in this cult, which became exclusively male. But despite this, Iansã is still revered in this society. ... " CENTRO PAI JOÃO DE ANGOLA (April 30, 2019) Furthermore, according to wikipedia : " ... In the Yoruba religion, the annual ceremonies in honor of the dead serve as a means of assuring their ancestors a place among the living. They believe the ancestors have the responsibility to compel the living to uphold the ethical standards of the past generations of their clan, town or family. The Egungun are celebrated in festivals, known as Odun Egungun, and in family ritual through the masquerade custom. In family situations, a family elder known either formally or informally as "Alagba" presides over ancestral rites. He may or may not be initiated into the local Egungun society. In matters that deal with whole communities, Egungun priests and initiates who are trained in ancestral communication, ancestral elevation and funerary rites are assigned to invoke and bring out the ancestors. They wear elaborate costumes in masquerade. Through drumming and dance, the Egungun robed performers are believed to become possessed by the spirits of the ancestors, as manifested as a single entity. The Egungun spiritually cleans the community; through the dramatic acting and miming of the robed priests, they demonstrate both ethical and amoral behavior that have occurred since their last visit. In this way, they expose the strengths and weaknesses of the community to encourage behavior more befitting of their descendants. When this performance is completed, the performers as Egungun give messages, warnings and blessings to the assembled spectators. Important Egungun include the Oloolu and Alapansanpa, both of Ibadanland. Elewe of the Ìgbómìnà Yoruba clan, which is common in the towns of Òkè-Ìlá Òràngún, Ìlá Òràngún, and Arandun, is also of particular prominence. In Brazil, the main cult of the Egungun is found on the island of Itaparica, in the State of Bahia. Houses of worship dedicated to the Egungun also exist in other states. ... Egungun masquerades are male dominated within the performance aspect and women play an integral role in the ritual. Only males are allowed to connect with the spirits in Egungun by transforming into the masked figure. However, women are not powerless in the ritual of Egungun. Women are important to the creation of the materials, dramatizing the performance, singing, dancing and serving as an audience member. Elders say separation is necessary because of the dangers of women power. According to the Ifa corpus, women were once in control of Egungun and the ritual originates from women’s religious experience in Yoruba. It is also argued that women were the sustainers of Egungun and according to the Odu Irantegbe chapter of the Ifa corpus, they were tricked by men and their powers over the Egungun cult were taken away. ...

It's part of a murky power struggle between Shango and his arch rival Ogun. - Also, the death cult culture of certain strains of Islam and Christianity (the "rapture" for example ) and Buddhism do not make sense until you realize there may be a parallel world where the human spirit is freed from the constraints of the physical body ... - This parallel world can be experienced directly: in my personal case I encounter what seem to be the recently dead in what is called the "hypnagogic" state - ie. the period between wakefulness and sleep - usually in public places like an early morning train ride after working the night shift. In that brief twilight space between wakefulness and sleep another world sometimes revels itself. I suppose the dead ride the train like everyone else. There is nothing special about them - they are just people who are no longer incarnate. My impression of them is of limited mobility - they seem to be anchored in place. For example, I see them more on the DC side of my train trips, and less on the Baltimore side. The two cities have different energy levels it seems ... The hypnagogic state is probably also where all "alien abductions" occurs.

There is no agreement on what the Shiva Lingam is, but to me it's an Indian Legba. That's probably an erect clitoris surrounded by vaginal tissue. According to wikipedia: " ... A lingam, sometimes referred to as linga or Shiva linga, is an abstract or aniconic representation of the Hindu deity Shiva in Shaivism.It is a votary symbol revered in temples, smaller shrines, or as self-manifested natural objects.The lingam is often represented within a lipped, disc-shaped platform. Lingayats wear a lingam inside a necklace, called Ishtalinga.
Lingam is additionally found in Sanskrit texts with the meaning of "evidence, proof" of God and God's existence. Lingam iconography found at archaeological sites of the Indian subcontinent and southeast Asia includes simple cylinders set inside a yoni, rounded pillars with carvings such as of one or more mukha (faces), and anatomically realistic representations of a phallus such as at Gudimallam.In the Shaiva traditions, the lingam is regarded as a form of spiritual iconography.
Lingam, states Monier Monier-Williams, appears in the Upanishads and epic literature, where it means a "mark, sign, emblem, characteristic". Other contextual meanings of the term include "evidence, proof, symptom" of God and God's power. The term also appears in early Indian texts on logic, where an inference is based on a sign (linga), such as "if there is smoke, there is fire" where the linga is the smoke.According to James Lochtefeld, it is sometimes "simplistically called a phallic symbol". It is a religious symbol in Hinduism representing Shiva as the generative power, all of existence, all creativity and fertility at every cosmic level. The lingam of the Shaivism tradition is a short cylindrical pillar-like symbol of Shiva, made of stone, metal, gem, wood, clay or disposable material. According to Encyclopædia Britannica, the lingam is a votary aniconic object found in the sanctum of Shiva temples and private shrines that symbolizes Shiva and is "revered as an emblem of generative power".It often is found within a lipped, disked structure that is an emblem of goddess Shakti and this is called the yoni. Together they symbolize the union of the feminine and the masculine principles, and "the totality of all existence", states Encyclopædia Britannica. ... " Wikipedia - Unknown 1821 Gracyanne Barbosa - Rainha de bateria da União da Ilha (2019), ensaio technico - Unknown 1822 - Laynara Teles - Rainha, Império da Tijuca (2017) Representing the orisha Oba. At her center of worship in Ogbomosho, Oba is described as the wife of Aganju and is praised as "Oba, who owns parrot tail feathers and fights on the left" Oba's humiliation by a rival co-wife is one of the most well-known tales associated with this Orisha. While William Bascom's study identified several unusual variations of it, the most popular myth found in West Africa, Brazil, and Cuba has Oba cutting off her ear to serve to her husband Shango as food, because one of her co-wives (most often Oshun) has convinced her this will secure Shango's attention. Once Shango sees the ear and realizes Oba has mutilated herself, he chases her from his house and into permanent exile. Bascom notes that though this story is known in many parts of Yoruba country, it was not recognized by her priest in Ogbomosho. There are a few variations of the myth in Cuba where Oya rather than Oshun tricks Oba. Another Cuban variation excludes the wifely rivalry entirely, explaining Oba's self-mutilation of both ears as an effort to feed Shango after they run out of goat and he is in need of food for his struggle against Ogun. By comparison, in the verses of Ifá, the story is inverted somewhat. Oba cuts off her ear at the advice of Ifá and the measure successfully ties Shango to Oba, until Orunmila himself steals Oba from Shango. González-Wippler, in her study of Santería, describes her as the daughter of Yemoja and one of the consorts of Shango. She is said to have given her husband her ear to eat, an event which led to her eventual flight from his presence. Grieving, she became the Oba river which intersects with the Oshun river (Oshun was another wife of Shango and is believed to have been the one who tricked her into the giving of the ear) at turbulent rapids, a symbol of the rivalry between the two wives.The Oba River flows through Iwo, that is why the Iwo people are called the children of the River Oba (Iwo Olodo Oba). - Unknown 1823 - Laynara Teles - Rainha, Império da Tijuca (2017) Representing the orisha Oba. - Unknown 1824 - Laynara Teles - Rainha, Império da Tijuca (2017) Representing the orisha Oba. - Unknown 1827 Evelyn Bastos - Unknown 1828 Bianca Monteiro - Unknown 1829 Simone Sampaio - rainha de bateria, Dragões da Real (2019) ensaio technico - Unknown 1830 Cintia Mello - rainha de bateria, Acadêmicos do Tucuruvi (2019) Thats probably an homage to Dmitrys - the Russian amazon futa artist. - Unknown 1831 Cintia Mello - rainha de bateria, Acadêmicos do Tucuruvi (2019) - Unknown 1832 Gracyanne Barbosa - Rainha de bateria da União da Ilha (2019), ensaio technico - Unknown 1833 Cintia Mello - rainha de bateria, Acadêmicos do Tucuruvi (2019) (Escrava Anastacia) - Unknown 1835 Letícia Guimarães, ex-rainha do carnaval carioca - ensaio técnico da União da Ilha (2017) - Unknown 1836 Viviane Araújo - Unknown 1837 Fabia Borges, Rainha de Bateria, Unidos da Tijuca (2001) - Unknown 1838 rainha de bateria Cintia Mello, Acadêmicos do Tucuruvi (2019) - (Escrava Anastacia) - Unknown 1839 rainha de bateria Cintia Mello, Acadêmicos do Tucuruvi (2019) - (Escrava Anastacia) - Unknown 1840 Evelyn Bastos - Rainha de bateria da Mangueria (2019) (Escrava Anastacia) - ensaio técnico - Unknown 1841 Rosi Baretto - Unknown 1842 Andressa Urach - Musa, Tom Maior (2013) - Unknown 1843 Andressa Urach - Madrinha de bateria, Leandro de Itaquera (2014) - Unknown 1844 Andressa Urach - Madrinha de bateria, Leandro de Itaquera (2014) - Unknown 1845 Renata Frisson - Musa, Grand Rio (2014) - Unknown 1846 Viviane Araújo - Unknown 1847 Andressa Urach - Madrinha de bateria, Leandro de Itaquera (2014) - Unknown 1848 Sabrina Sato - Rainha absoluta do Carnaval (2016) - Unknown 1849 Fabi Frota - Musa, Gaviões da Fiel (2014) - Unknown 1850 Fabiana Andrade - Unknown 1851 Clara Paixão - Unknown 1852 Miku Oguchi - Madrinha de bateria, Aguia de Ouro (2015) - Unknown 1853 Miku Oguchi - Musa do Peruche (2019) - Unknown 1854 Miku Oguchi - Musa do Peruche (2019) - Unknown 1855 Miku Oguchi - Musa do Peruche (2019) - Unknown 1856 Miku Oguchi - Musa do Peruche (2019) - Unknown 1857 Miku Oguchi - Musa do Peruche (2019) - Unknown 1858 Miku Oguchi - Madrinha de bateria, Aguia de Ouro (2015) - Unknown 1859 Miku Oguchi - Unknown 1860 Jéssica Ponciano e Miku Oguchi - Madrinha de bateria, Aguia de Ouro (2015) - Unknown 1861 Viviane Castro - Musa, São Clemente (2008) - Unknown 1862 Juju Salimeni - Musa, Unidos da Tijuca (2016) - Unknown 1863 Japan Asakusa Samba Carnival. The orisha Ogun, who ended the primacy of women in the Egungun cult seems to be both very ancient , but also very contemporary. He is the orisha of technology and is said to have disappeared into the earth without dying a long time ago after destroying humanity. To me , that sounds like an echo of ancient Atlantis. According to Wikipedia: " ... Ogun or Ogoun (Yoruba: Ògún, Portuguese: Ogum, Gu; also spelled Oggun or Ogou; known as Ogún or Ogum in Latin America) is an Orisha, Loa, and Vodun. He is a warrior and a powerful spirit of metal work, as well as of rum and rum-making. He is also known as the 'god of Iron'. In Yoruba religion, Ogun is a primordial orisha who first appeared as a hunter named Tobe Ode. He was the husband of Oya. He is said to have been the first Orisha to descend to the realm of Ile Aiye ("Earth"), to find suitable place for future human life. In some traditions he is said to have cleared a path for the other gods to enter Earth, using a metal ax and with the assistance of a dog. To commemorate this, one of his praise names, or oriki, is Osin Imole or the "first of the primordial Orisha to come to Earth". He is the god of war and metals In his earthly life Ogun is said to be the first king of Ife. When some of his subjects failed to show respect, Ogun killed them and ultimately himself with his own sword. He disappeared into the earth at a place called Ire-Ekiti, with the promise to help those who call on his name. His followers believe him to have wo ile sun, to have disappeared into the earth's surface instead of dying. Throughout his earthly life, he is thought to have fought for the people of Ire, thus is known also as Onire. He is now celebrated in Ekiti, Oyo, and Ondo States. ... In Dahomey religion, Gu is the vodun of war and patron deity of smiths and craftsmen.He was sent to earth to make it a nice place for people to live, and he has not yet finished this task. Ogun is known in the Afro-Brazilian tradition of Candomblé as Ogum (Ketu, Ijexa and Efon nations) or Gu (Jeje nation).

I came to this insight after watching an online documentary: "Terence McKenna's True Hallucinations" - Intense dude. Died of brain cancer at 53. He thought it was caused by all the drugs. But his doctors said the cancer was unrelated. One new piece of info I got was : magic mushrooms speak to you. According to "Listening for the Logos: a study of reports of audible voices at high doses of psilocybin" by Horace Beach, Ph.D. (1996) About 1/3 users of psilocybin have plain language talks with an audible voice of unknown origin. McKenna calls it the "Logos". A Brazilian would call this the "Ori". A city in Colorado (Denver) where he came from just -literally today ( a Jungian synchronicity) legalized magic mushrooms. The "buzzing" McKenna experienced in the jungles of the Amazon and that is also associated with magic mushrooms is not new to me - I used to experience it a lot before 1994. Post 1994 no more. I suppose I integrated it. - "Bee" effigy covered in mushrooms found in a cave hiding a natural spring in the Tassili n'Ajjer ( a national park in the Sahara desert, located on a vast plateau in south-east Algeria.) - That's probably an ancient Negro representation of the "buzzing" . My memory of this buzzing goes back as far as the early 1980's during high school in Ethiopia. According to "Psilocybin, the Mushroom, and Terence McKenna" by Tao Yin " ... Psilocybin is a psychedelic tryptamine compound found in ~200 types of mushrooms worldwide. In a 1998 workshop titled "In The Valley of Novelty," Terence McKenna called it "the phosphorylated form of DMT," and observed that both psilocybin and DMT "particularly seem to impact the language forming portions of the brain, and this produces truly bizarre states of mind, because it's the language forming part of you that's explaining moment to moment what is going on." For McKenna, psilocybin provided "the same confrontation with an alien intelligence and extremely bizarre translinguistic information complexes" as DMT. The psilocybin-containing mushroom McKenna wrote about and discussed most, Stropharia cubensis (later reclassified Psilocybe cubensis), introduced itself to McKenna when he was only ten years old, in an essay titled "Seeking the Magic Mushroom" in the May 13, 1957 edition of LIFE magazine. Terence's brother, Dennis, who was six years old at the time, wrote in The Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss (2012) that he remembered his older brother "trailing our mother as she did her housework, waving the magazine demanding to know more. But of course she had nothing to add." "Psilocybin and DMT invoke the Logos, although DMT is more intense and more brief in its action. This means that they work directly on the language centers, so that an important aspect of the experience is the interior dialogue. As soon as one discovers this about psilocybin and about tryptamines in general, one must decide whether or not to enter into the dialogue and to try and make sense of the incoming signal. This is what I have attempted." In 1976, the McKenna brothers published a small book that provided "precise, no-fail instructions for growing and preserving the magic mushroom"—Stropharia cubensis—"not only one of the strongest of the hallucinogenic mushrooms, but also one of the most widespread and readily available." Psilocybin: Magic Mushroom Grower's Guide, which was about the size of a contemporary poetry-collection, began with a three-page foreword explaining that, though the methods in the book were scientific, "our opinions about Stropharia cubensis are not." The foreword continued: "Our opinions in this matter do not rest upon the opinions of others nor upon anything written in any book, instead they rest upon the experience of five dried grams of this psilocybin mushroom; at that level a peculiar phenomenon occurs. It is the emergence of an I-Thou relationship between the person taking the psilocybin and the mental state it evokes. Jung calls this "transference" and it was a necessary condition of early and primitive humanity's relationship to its gods and demons. The mushroom speaks, and our opinions rest upon what it tells eloquently of itself in the cool night of the mind." "Space, you see, is a vast ocean to those hardy life forms that have the ability to reproduce from spores, for spores are covered with the hardest organic substance known. Across the aeons of time and space drift many spore-forming life-forms in suspended animation for millions of years until contact is made with a suitable environment." *** Terence McKenna - The Mushroom Speaks - Thats probably the orisha Ogum speaking ... ***

"In answer to your question about the mushroom and its role in human history, I've gone through many changes about this since the mushroom began talking to me since I wrote that forward. I have a manuscript now, which, uh, one of the titles that we toy with for it is: Alien Intelligence and Psilocybin. Although it probably won't be called that, a lot of what it deals with is the fact that post-modern people, which is you and me, are getting in touch with something which the modern worldview cannot handle at all. For modernity, voices in the head are a clear instance of pathology. And, yet, for the Hellenistic world and the post-modern world, voices in the head are a clear, uh, aspect of following the path. And, this was classic before the rise of the forms of reductionist thought that characterize modern thinking. Socrates had a daemon. He mentions it many times. It told him what to say. It helped him with what he should think, and it was commonplace for sages and philosophers of that time to make that kind of claim."

"I asked the mushroom once about the social chaos at the end of history, and the mushroom said: No worry, bro. This is what it's like when a species departs for hyperspace. There's a little shimmy in the landing zone as we take off."

"Uh, somebody once said -- actually, it was the mushroom itself, it wasn't 'somebody' [audience laughs]-- uh, but, somebody, who happened to be a mushroom, once said... uh, what did they say? 'If you're not part of the problem you're part of the solution.' [laughter] No. What was said was, uh, that culture is like the shockwave of eschatology. Nothing...nothing is unannounced... Everything is preceded by the shockwave of its coming."

"The mushroom said to me once, apropos of absolutely nothing, it said: What you call man, we call time.”

"The mushroom said to me once: If you don't have a plan, you become part of somebody else's plan."

"It has many manifestations. Sometimes it's like Dorothy of Oz; sometimes it's like a very Talmudic sort of pawnbroker. I asked it once: 'What are you doing on Earth?' It said: 'Listen, if you're a mushroom, you live cheap; besides, I'm telling you, this was a very nice neighborhood until the monkeys got out of control.'"

"Gordon Wasson, who discovered with his wife Valentina the mushrooms, told a very interesting story in one of his books about how in Mazatecan, the people who are speakers of Mazatecan, when they chant what the mushroom says, they have created a special form for this, which goes like this: 'zabaz zabaz zabaz *tse*' This word 'tse' means 'says.' Daba daba daba *says*, dada dada dada dada *says*....
I didn't know this at the time I took mushrooms the second time, and in my head I heard the mushroom speaking in English, but adding the word "says" to the end of the sentence. So it was almost like, you know, this thing could speak in Mazatec, it could speak in English, but it always kept its cadence and its structure."

"One day, I was just- I think it was during bookkeeping or something very much mundane, the little voice that interrupts every once in a while said that 'A plant teacher is a teacher who has taken the form of a plant.'”

"The mushroom said to me once: Nature loves courage. Nature loves courage, and I said – what’s the payoff on that? It said: It shows you that it loves courage because it will remove obstacles. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you up. It will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers, the one’s who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold – this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. It’s done by hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering that it’s a feather bed."

"The mushroom said to me once, it said, ‘This is what it’s like when a species prepares to depart for the stars. This is not unusual.’ The earth quakes, the oceans boil, the planet came into existence for this. All life for over a billion years has been pointed toward taking this step, leaving the oceans for the land was dress rehearsal for what will now be done. It’s chilling because it’s so huge. You don’t even know. It’s just enormous. Yet, apparently, when you look back through the history of the universe, this is how it precedes. Incredibly gradually over staggering scales of time but then every once in a while you come around the corner and there it is – a continent sinks, an asteroid impacts, a star explodes, two intelligent species meet somewhere out in the cosmos. These things set ripples going for eons."
*** Not sure most people should consider doing magic mushrooms though ... This can easily turn into the road to schizophrenia. But my first impression was positive - and it was connected to a Jungian synchronicity so it probably means something important. *** (May 9, 2019) Something new: DMT. New to me, but not to the internet. Terence McKenna - DMT is Everything! Here, Terence McKenna describes the world of a synthetic chemical closely related to magic mushrooms called DMT. It is much more powerful than magic mushrooms but lasts only a brief period. McKenna says its like visiting Irish mythology in a literal way. I recognize these guys from my pre 1994 "alien abduction" and lucid dreaming days - the mix of elves and machines. I don't need drugs to go there. - I've been there drug free. Only problem, I was there against my will. I wonder what it must be like as a tourist! According to wikipedia: " ... Entities perceived during DMT inebriation have been represented in diverse forms of psychedelic art.The term machine elf was coined by ethnobotanist Terence McKenna for the entities he encountered in DMT "hyperspace", also using terms like fractal elves, or self-transforming machine elves.McKenna first encountered the "machine elves" after smoking DMT in Berkeley in 1965. His subsequent speculations regarding the hyperdimensional space in which they were encountered, has inspired a great many artists and musicians, and the meaning of DMT entities has been a subject of considerable debate among participants in a networked cultural underground, enthused by McKenna's effusive accounts of DMT hyperspace.Cliff Pickover has also written about the "machine elf" experience, in the book Sex, Drugs, Einstein, & Elves,while Rick Strassman notes many similarities between self-reports of his DMT study participants' encounters with these "entities", and mythological descriptions of figures such as Chayot Ha Kodesh in Ancient religions, including both angels and demons.Strassman also argues for a similarity in his study participants' descriptions of mechanized wheels, gears and machinery in these encounters, with those described in visions of encounters with the Living Creatures and Ophanim of the Hebrew Bible, noting they may stem from a common neuropsychopharmacological experience. ... Hallucinations of strange creatures had been reported by Szara in the Journal of Mental Science (now the British Journal of Psychiatry) (1958) "Dimethyltryptamine Experiments with Psychotics", Stephen Szara described how one of his subjects under the influence of DMT had experienced "strange creatures, dwarves or something" at the beginning of a DMT trip - It's the orisha Ogum , the first primordial, re-energizing itself for the next 2000 years of of human development. The first run was limited to a mostly Negro aristocracy. This round will be more democratic. *** (May 11, 2019) - Technically, Denver has not legalized psilocybin, it has only voted not to enforce the law on the possession of magic mushrooms. According to Michael Pollard in today's New York Times " ... Only a few days ago, millions of Americans probably had never heard of psilocybin, the active agent in psychedelic mushrooms, but thanks to Denver, it is about to get its moment in the political sun. On Tuesday, the city’s voters surprised everyone by narrowly approving a ballot initiative that effectively decriminalizes psilocybin, making its possession, use or personal cultivation a low-priority crime. No one should ever be arrested or go to jail for the possession or cultivation of any kind of mushroom — it would be disingenuous for me to say otherwise, since I have possessed, used and grown psilocybin myself. Like many others, I was inspired to do so by the recent renaissance of research into psychedelics, including psilocybin. This might help explain why the Food and Drug Administration granted “breakthrough therapy” status last year to psilocybin, which promises to speed its consideration as a treatment for depression. But the research also shows that psilocybin may have value for the rest of us: Studies have demonstrated that, properly administered, a psilocybin journey can have enduring, positive effects on the well-being and relative openness of “healthy normals,” as researchers put it. My worry is that ballot initiatives may not be the smartest way to get there. We still have a lot to learn about the immense power and potential risk of these molecules, not to mention the consequences of unrestricted use. It would be a shame if the public is pushed to make premature decisions about psychedelics before the researchers have completed their work. There is, too, the risk of inciting the sort of political backlash that, in the late 1960s, set back research into psychedelics for decades. Think of what we might know now, and the suffering that might have been alleviated, had that research been allowed to continue. *** - Francis Crick discovered the double helix structure of DNA on a legal LSD in the pre-prohibition days. I just learned this from Graham Hancock - who claims to have gotten health benefits from Ayahuasca. Hancock also believes DNA which is 97% "junk" code is actually a massive hard drive with info from another planet; - based on deep structure patterns in that "junk" code also found encoded in all human languages. *** I would trip again if I could get high quality Mushrooms. I've never tried them - my one and only trip was LSD in 1989 - last year at UVa. If I did "shrooms" though I would have to be at least 5g - I want to experience the "talking" mushroom. Anything less would be a waste. A general insight: Legba is more important than psychoactive drugs. That's why LSD never caught on - the drugs open the door to the spirit world, but Legba, who is projected onto the lowest of the low - the erect dark skinned African phallus is more important for spiritual growth. My method - hypnagogic sleep - is not easy - and requires a great deal of courage - being "taken" by beings you can feel but not see requires a lot of nerve. I always force myself to wake up before I can get a look at those little guys. I suppose "shrooms" would be the same deal though. Kenya after dark is the technical equivalent of taking "shrooms" - just stepping away from the warm fire at 3am in Karen and hanging out outside in the dark immediately brings on the same feeling of "crossing over" .... Maybe our house is haunted - I don't know about the rest of Kenya ... But why are they "little" people? I've never seen them directly, but often I wake up with a memory of them. They are literally "little" people. They are never far off - for example, when its important that I have to be somewhere they will physically wake me up. Another experience they have given me is the opposite - lost time. Lost time is when my watch - usually a Timex says an hour or 2 have passed, but real time may be much more. This happens very , very often - that's why I stopped wearing watches. My iPhone does not have this problem - its just my 3 mechanical Timex watches. But the iPhone is not immune though - after many morning train trips it will fail to unlock the lime scooter. The time is right, but the phone has no contact with the internet. ... And they mess with me at the pool. Little things like removing my padlock and moving it to another locker. If I can generalize, every time I step into the deep end, they are messing with me.

See this online paper: Origin of a Mushroom Religion, Soma in the Americas: Religion in the New World Before Columbus By Carl de Borhegyi (2010). Although I disagree with the main thesis that the Mayan shamans received this tradition from Asian shamans. The record suggests that Mayans got it from the Olmecs - who in turn probably inherited it from west Africa. " ... My study was inspired by a theory first proposed over fifty years ago by my father, the late Maya archaeologist Dr. Stephan F. de Borhegyi, that hallucinogenic mushroom rituals were a central aspect of Maya religion. He based this theory on his identification of a mushroom stone cult that came into existence in the Guatemala Highlands and Pacific coastal area around 1000 B.C. along with a trophy head cult associated with human sacrifice and the Mesoamerican ballgame. He supported this theory with a solid body of archaeological and historical evidence. The prevailing anthropological view of ancient New World history is that its indigenous peoples developed their own complex cultures independent of outside influence or inspiration. Any suggestions to the contrary have been generally dismissed as either fanciful, racist, or demeaning. The peoples of the New World, scholars have argued, were fully capable of developing their own civilizations as sophisticated as any found in Asia or the West. Today trans-oceanic contact between the hemispheres is still considered highly unlikely despite the exception of the Viking outpost discovered in Newfoundland in the 1960’s, and the recent awareness that early humans reached far distant Australia by boat as many as 50,000 years ago. After viewing the visual evidence presented below, readers of this study may wish to challenge this view of New World history with a more open-minded acknowledgement of the capability of ancient peoples to explore their environment and disperse their intellectual heritage to its far corners. I have found an abundance of archaeological evidence supporting the proposition that Mesoamerica, the high cultures of South America, and Easter Island shared, along with many other New World cultures, elements of a Pan American belief system so ancient that many of the ideas may have come from Asia to the New World with the first human settlers. I believe the key to this entire belief system lies, as proposed by R. Gordon Wasson, in early man’s discovery of the mind-altering effects of various hallucinatory substances. The accidental ingestion of these hallucinogenic substances could very well have provided the spark that lifted the mind and imagination of these early humans above and beyond the mundane level of daily existence to contemplation of another reality.
My father, who from now on I will now refer to simply as Borhegyi, emigrated to the United States from war-torn Hungary in 1948. Although he had recently graduated with a Ph.D. degree in Egyptology, Classical, and Early Christian archaeology from the Peter Pazmany University in Budapest, he had chosen to open new fields of endeavor for himself in New World archaeology. To his very good fortune, he was taken under the wing of Dr. Alfred Vincent Kidder, one of the great pioneers in New World archaeology. Through Dr. Kidder, and the Carnegie Institution of Washington with which Kidder was affiliated, Borhegyi secured a grant from the Viking Fund (later known as the Wenner-Gren Foundation) to catalog the extensive artifact collections stored in the basement of the Guatemalan National Museum. While at work on these collections he came across a number of small, unprovenanced carved stone effigy figures that resembled mushrooms to such a degree that they were called “mushroom stones.” At the time, however, no one seriously thought that they represented real mushrooms. Some of the small mushroom-shaped sculptures were plain and realistic, others were adorned with human and animal effigies. While only a few had been found in the course of archaeological investigation, there was sufficient evidence on specimens excavated by archaeologists working with the Carnegie Institution of Washington research team to enable Borhegyi to classify and date them typologically. The majority had been found in Guatemala in the highlands or on the Pacific Piedmont–Maya areas along the intercontinental mountain range which were heavily influenced in Preclassic times by the powerful Olmec culture.(Borhegyi, 1957, 1961, 1963).
Borhegyi found the figures so intriguing that he prepared a monograph for submission to the C.I.W.s “Notes on Middle American Archaeology and Ethnology”. Before submitting it, however, he sent it off to be critiqued by archaeologist Gordon Ekholm at the American Museum of Natural History. Ekholm, in turn, showed it to his friend R. Gordon Wasson, an amateur mycologist who was looking for archaeological evidence of ancient hallucinogenic mushroom rites in Mesoamerica. Wasson wrote to Borhegyi and within months the two embarked on what became an intense and fruitful collaboration that lasted until the end of Borhegyi’s tragically short life. Wasson included Borhegyi’s mushroom stone study in his monumental book entitled Mushrooms, Russia and History. In this article Borhegyi identified the existence of an ancient mushroom stone cult that had begun as early as 1000 B.C.E. and which lasted as late as 900 C.E. He noted that many of the mushroom stones, especially those dating between 1000 and 100 C.E. depicted images of toads, as well as snakes, birds, jaguars, monkeys, and humans. The majority of the images appeared to emerge from the stem of the mushroom (Wasson and Wasson, 1957). The historical evidence came to Borhegyi’s attention through his extensive correspondence with Wasson. Wasson pointed him toward reports of ritual use of hallucinogenic mushrooms among the Aztecs in a number of Spanish chronicles written shortly after the Spanish conquest. Wasson also directed him toward reports of the existence of modern-day ritual use of hallucinogenic mushrooms in various parts of Mexico and, in particular, among the Mazatec Indians of Oaxaca. Together, Borhegyi and Wassonsurmised that if the mushroom stones did, indeed, represent a mushroom cult, then the mushroom itself was an iconographic metaphor, and the mushroom stone effigies could supply the clues necessary to decipher their meaning. In the book "Mushrooms, Russia and History", the Wassons reported on the ritual consumption of mushrooms (the Amanita muscaria) among Siberian and northern Asian peoples, suggesting the possible antiquity of the mushroom cult to Stone Age times. According to Wasson… “It can of course be argued that the two great mushroom traditions, that of New World Indians and that of the peoples of Eurasia, are historically unconnected and autonomous, having arisen spontaneously in the two regions from similar requirements of the human psyche and similar environmental opportunities. But are they really unrelated?
“If it is indeed that ancient, it would also help explain why the same motif is found in strikingly similar form in Maya art as well as in shamanic tradition and ritual of other indigenous peoples of the New World”.
” There is little doubt that the substance called Soma in the Rig Veda has been identified as the fungus Amanita Muscaria.” According to Wasson, the term shaman is not native to Mesoamerica or even to the New World but derives from the languages of Siberia. Siberian shamanism incorporates ecstatic trances brought on by a ritual of dance and the inducement of hallucinations, most commonly through the consumption of some hallucinogenic substance. The intention was to open communication directly with the spirit world, often through a form of animal transformation. The worship of animal spirit companions and the concept of human-animal transformation is so ancient, that the origins of these beliefs appear to predate the development of agriculture. Since these beliefs are also present throughout North and South America that they may very well have been brought there by the first hunters and gatherers to reach the New World. We find the first evidences of these shamanistic rituals in Mesoamerica in the art of the ancient Olmecs along with the development of agriculture, food production, and settled village life. Ethno-Mycologist Robert Gordon Wasson…
“In examining these mushroomic artifacts we must keep in mind that they were not made for our enlightenment. They were iconic shorthand summarizing a whole bundle of associations ,–whatever those associations were. The Christian cross is to be found in endless shapes, including the “effigy cross” or crucifix, and all stem back to a complex of emotions, beliefs, and religious longings. The crucifix would reveal to an archaeologist eons hence more than, say, a Maltese cross. So with the mushroom stones, the subject matter of the effigies holds the secret”. According to testimony recorded in 1554 in the Colonial document entitled El Titulo de Totonicapan, the Quiché Maya revered mushroom stones as symbols of power and rulership, and before them they performed rituals (of blood sacrifice)to pierce and cut up their bodies. (Sachse, 2001, 186). ” The lords used these symbols of rule, which came from where the sun rises, to pierce and cut up their bodies (for the blood sacrifice). There were nine mushroom stones for the Ajpop and the Ajpop Q’amja, and in each case four, three, two, and one staffs with the Quetzal’s feathers and green feathers, together with garlands, the Chalchihuites precious stones, with the sagging lower jaw and the bundle of fire for the Temezcal steam bath.” In 1969 my father died in an automobile accident. Wasson, no longer able to continue his fruitful collaboration with Borhegyi on Mesoamerica, continued his earlier studies of mushrooms in East Indian religion and mythology. While by this time many anthropologists and archaeologists had accepted the idea that mushrooms and other hallucinogens were used in ancient Mesoamerica, their use was, in most cases, dismissed as relatively incidental and devoid of deeper significance in the development of Mesoamerican religious ideas and mythology. With a few exceptions, notably the research and writings of ethnoarchaeologist Peter Furst, further inquiry into the subject on the part of archaeologists came to a virtual halt. Fortunately, a few mycologists, most notably Bernard Lowy and Gaston Guzmán, (2002:4; 2009) continued through the years to make important contributions to the scientific literature.To this day the subject remains relatively little known and generally missing from the literature on Mesoamerican archaeology, art history, and iconography ...

- Also see: Mushrooms Encoded in Pre-Columbian Art By Carl de Borhegyi (2010) According to Carl de Borhegyi : " ... Above is an Olmec figurine photgraphed by Higinio Gonzalez of Puebla, Mexico. It most likely comes from the San Lorenzo phase of Olmec culture, 1200-400 B.C.E. These infantile baby-faced figurines, many of which depict the symbolism of a snarling jaguar, are a distinctive feature in Olmec art. This figure appears to represent an Olmec baby wearing an Amanita mushroom cap and holding a gigantic Amanita mushroom. According to ethno-mycologist Gastón Guzmán, one of the effects of the Amanita muscaria mushroom experience is to see objects as gigantic in size. (Guzman, 2010). - Olmec or Maya Mushroom Figurine: " ... Above, on the left, is the Amanita muscaria mushroom, and on the right a Maya figurine (300-900 C.E.) photographed by Justin Kerr (K 656a). The figurine wears a headdress inspired by the Amanita muscaria mushroom. Its contorted face depicts the "Olmec snarl", a common motif in Olmec art which I believe represents the mushroom's effect of jaguar transformation and the soul's mythical underworld journey. The figurine holds in its hands a concave mirror. Mirrors were used by shamans to see into the past and future and communicate with ancestors and gods. I believe that in many, if not most cases, this communication was conducted under the influence of mushrooms. ... " Carl de Borhegyi - Female Olmec or Maya ballplayer: " ... The standing female ballplayer figurine shown above wears a helmet and ballgame glove and mushroom-inspired belt. Sacred mushrooms were likely consumed before entering battle and before the ritual ballgame, enhancing one's vision and strength as well as bravery to its wildest levels. The figurine is from the site of Xochipala, Mexico, in the western state of Guerrero, and dates to 1200-900 C.E. It is now in the Princeton University Art Museum. Numerous ballplayer figurines have been found at Xochipala and at such other Preclassic sites as Tlatilco and Tlapacoya in the Valley of Mexico. Borhegyi conjectured that a change in ballgame rituals and a switch from the Olmec influenced "hand ball game" most likely came as a result of the powerful influence of Teotihuacan and newly instituted Quetzalcoatl rites. (Borhegyi 1980: p. 24). For more on ballgame hand stones and ballgame gloves see Borhegyi, 1961: 129-140. (photograph of ballplayer from Whittington, 2001) ... " Carl de Borhegyi -Aztec flower /mushroom prince " ... The Precolumbian figurine above, now in the National Museum in Mexico City, is from Central Mexico and depicts the Aztec god Xochipilli, whose name in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, means "Prince of Flowers." The Aztecs always referred to mushrooms as flowers. Also known as Macuilxochitl, meaning "five flowers", this figurine holds what appears to be an Amanita muscaria mushroom in each hand. According to ethno-archaeologist Irene Nicholson, "flowers symbolize a state of the soul on its journey to full godhood."..."mushrooms were known as 'the flower that makes us drunk'" (Nicholson 1967, p.90). Xochipilli was most likely the patron deity of sacred hallucinogenic plants and the "flowery dream". The headdress of this figurine contains two adornments of five plumes each--a probable reference to what scholars call the "fiveness" of Venus, referring to the five synodic cycles of Venus identified in the Venus Almanac of the Dresden Codex. ... " Carl de Borhegyi *** (Sept 4, 2019) Credit for the modern re-discovery of magic mushrooms should also go to the Indian shaman Maria Sabina who allowed R. Gordon Wasson to attend Mazatec healing ceremonies in Oaxaca , Mexico. According to Wikipedia: " ... María Sabina was the first contemporary Mexican curandera, or native shaman, to allow Westerners to participate in the healing vigil that is known as the velada. All participants in the ritual ingested psilocybin mushroom as a sacrament to open the gates of the mind. The velada is seen as a purification and a communion with the sacred. ... Álvaro Estrada, a fellow Mazatec, recorded her life and work and translated her chants. Estrada's American brother-in-law, Henry Munn, translated many of the chants from Spanish to English, and wrote about the significance of her language. According to Munn, María Sabina brilliantly used themes common to Mazatec and Mesoamerican spiritual traditions, but at the same time was a unique talent, a masterful oral poet, and craftsperson with a profound literary and personal charisma.
Maria Sabina, Wikipedia - Recent photo of mushrooms found on a recent (Sept 1, 2019) afternoon stroll in Washington, DC ; probably Macrolepiota procera, the parasol mushroom. (Sept 10, 2019) The mushrooms were in a circle that had been broken when I found them. I did not know it at the time , but there is a very rich folklore about these rings in Europe - they are also known as "fairy rings" and are surrounded by powerful taboos. According to wikipedia: " ... A fairy ring, also known as fairy circle, elf circle, elf ring or pixie ring, is a naturally occurring ring or arc of mushrooms. The rings may grow to over 10 metres (33 ft) in diameter, and they become stable over time as the fungus grows and seeks food underground. They are found mainly in forested areas, but also appear in grasslands or rangelands. Fairy rings are detectable by sporocarps (fungal spore pods) in rings or arcs, as well as by a necrotic zone (dead grass), or a ring of dark green grass. Fungus mycelium is present in the ring or arc underneath.
Fairy rings are the subject of much folklore and myth worldwide—particularly in Western Europe. While they are often seen as hazardous or dangerous places, they can sometimes be linked with good fortune. A great deal of folklore surrounds fairy rings.Their names in European languages often allude to supernatural origins; they are known as ronds de sorcières ("witches' circles") in French, and Hexenringe ("witches' rings") in German. In German tradition, fairy rings were thought to mark the site of witches' dancing on Walpurgis Night, and Dutch superstition claimed that the circles show where the Devil set his milk churn. In Tyrol, folklore attributed fairy rings to the fiery tails of flying dragons; once a dragon had created such a circle, nothing but toadstools could grow there for seven years. European superstitions routinely warned against entering a fairy ring. French tradition reported that fairy rings were guarded by giant bug-eyed toads that cursed those who violated the circles. In other parts of Europe, entering a fairy ring would result in the loss of an eye. Fairy rings are associated with diminutive spirits in the Philippines. Western European traditions, including English, Scandinavian and Celtic, claimed that fairy rings are the result of elves or fairies dancing. Such ideas dated to at least the mediæval period; The Middle English term elferingewort ("elf-ring"), meaning "a ring of daisies caused by elves' dancing" dates to the 12th century.In his History of the Goths (1628), Olaus Magnus makes this connection, saying that fairy rings are burned into the ground by the dancing of elves. British folklorist Thomas Keightley noted that in Scandinavia in the early 20th century, beliefs persisted that fairy rings (elfdans) arose from the dancing of elves. Keightley warned that while entering an elfdans might allow the interloper to see the elves—although this was not guaranteed—it would also put the intruder in thrall to their illusions. The folklores of Britain and Ireland contain a wealth of fairy lore, including the idea from which fairy rings take their name: the phenomena result from the dancing of fairies.In 19th-century Wales, where the rings are known as cylch y Tylwyth Teg, fairies were almost invariably described as dancing in a group when encountered,and in Scotland and Wales in the late 20th century, stories about fairy rings were still common; some Welshmen even claimed to have joined a fairy dance. Victorian folklorists regarded fairies and witches as related, based in part on the idea that both were believed to dance in circles. These revels are particularly associated with moonlit nights, the rings only becoming visible to mortals the following morning. Local variants add other details. An early 20th-century Irish tradition says that fairies enjoy dancing around the hawthorn tree so that fairy rings often centre on one. One resident of Balquhidder, Scotland, said that the fairies sit on the mushrooms and use them as dinnertables, and a Welsh woman claimed that fairies used the mushrooms as parasols and umbrellas. Olaus Magnus in Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus wrote that the brightness of the fairy ring comes not from the dancing of the fairies, who harm it with their feet, but from Puck, who refreshes the grass. A Devon legend says that a black hen and chickens sometimes appear at dusk in a large fairy ring on the edge of Dartmoor. A Welsh and Manx variant current in the 1960s removes dancing from the picture and claims that fairy rings spring up over an underground fairy village. These associations have become linked to specific sites. For example, "The Pixies' Church" was a rock formation in Dartmoor surrounded by a fairy ring, and a stone circle tops Cader Idris in northern Wales, believed to be a popular spot for fairy dances. Guernsey Fairy Ring is also a popular spot for fairie dancing and known for having evil fairies living there Many folk beliefs generally paint fairy rings as dangerous places, best avoided. Sikes traces these stories of people trespassing into forbidden territory and being punished for it to the tale of Psyche and Eros. In it, Psyche is forbidden to view her lover, and when she does so, her palace disappears and she is left alone.Superstition calls fairy circles sacred and warns against violating them lest the interloper (such as a farmer with a plough) anger the fairies and be cursed.In an Irish legend recorded by Wilde, a farmer builds a barn on a fairy ring despite the protests of his neighbours. He is struck senseless one night, and a local "fairy doctor" breaks the curse. The farmer says that he dreamed that he must destroy the barn. Even collecting dew from the grass or flowers of a fairy ring can bring bad luck. Destroying a fairy ring is unlucky and fruitless; superstition says it will just grow back. Numerous legends focus on mortals entering a fairy ring—and the consequences. One superstition is that anyone who steps into an empty fairy ring will die at a young age.A 20th-century tradition from Somerset calls the fairy ring a "galley-trap" and says that a murderer or thief who walks in the ring will be hanged. Most often, someone who violates a fairy perimeter becomes invisible to mortals outside and may find it impossible to leave the circle. Often, the fairies force the mortal to dance to the point of exhaustion, death, or madness. In Welsh tales, fairies actively try to lure mortals into their circles to dance with them.A tale from the Cambrian Mountains of Wales, current in the 19th century, describes a mortal's encounter with a fairy ring:
... he saw the Tylwyth Teg, in appearance like tiny soldiers, dancing in a ring. He set out for the scene of revelry, and soon drew near the ring where, in a gay company of males and females, they were footing it to the music of the harp. Never had he seen such handsome people, nor any so enchantingly cheerful. They beckoned him with laughing faces to join them as they leaned backward almost falling, whirling round and round with joined hands. Those who were dancing never swerved from the perfect circle; but some were clambering over the old cromlech, and others chasing each other with surprising swiftness and the greatest glee. Still others rode about on small white horses of the most beautiful form ... All this was in silence, for the shepherd could not hear the harps, though he saw them. But now he drew nearer to the circle, and finally ventured to put his foot in the magic ring. The instant he did this, his ears were charmed with strains of the most melodious music he had ever heard.
Entering the ring on May Eve or Halloween night was especially dangerous.One source near Afon fach Blaen y Cae, a tributary of the Dwyfach, tells of a shepherd accidentally disturbing a ring of rushes where fairies are preparing to dance; they capture him and hold him captive, and he even marries one of them. In variants from Scotland recorded by Edwin Sidney Hartland in 1891, the ring is replaced by a cavern or an old mill.
Freedom from a fairy ring often requires outside intervention. A tactic from early 20th-century Wales is to cast wild marjoram and thyme into the circle and befuddle the fairies; another asks the rescuer to touch the victim with iron. Other stories require that the enchanted victim simply be plucked out by someone on the outside, although even this can be difficult: A farmer in a tale from the Llangollen region has to tie a rope around himself and enlist four men to pull him from the circle as he goes in to save his daughter. Other folk methods rely on Christian faith to break the enchantment: a stick from a rowan tree (thought to be the wood from which the cross of Jesus Christ was built) can break the curse,as can a simple phrase such as "what, in Heaven's name", as in a 19th-century tale from Carmarthenshire. A common element to these recoveries is that the rescuer must wait a year and a day from when the victim entered the ring.
Mortals who have danced with the fairies are rarely safe after being saved from their enthrallment. Often, they find that what seemed to be but a brief foray into fairyland was indeed much longer in the mortal realm, possibly weeks or years. The person rescued from the fairy ring may have no memory of their encounter with the sprites, as in a story from Anglesea recorded in 1891.In most tales, the saved interlopers face a grim fate. For example, in a legend from Carmarthenshire, recorded by Sikes, a man is rescued from a fairy ring only to crumble to dust.In a tale from Mathavarn, Llanwrin Parish, a fairy-ring survivor moulders away when he eats his first bite of food.Another vulnerability seems to be iron; in a tale from the Aberystwyth region, a touch from the metal causes a rescued woman to disappear.
Some legends assert that the only safe way to investigate a fairy ring is to run around it nine times. This affords the ability to hear the fairies dancing and frolicking underground. According to a 20th-century tradition of Northumberland, this must be done under a full moon, and the runner must travel in the direction of the sun; to go widdershins allows the fairies to place the runner under their sway. To circle the ring a tenth time is foolhardy and dangerous.Keightley recorded a similar tradition from Northumberland in 1905: "The children constantly run this number [nine times], but nothing will induce them to venture a tenth run."A story from early 20th century England says that a mortal can see the sprites without fear if a friend places a foot on that of the person stepping beyond the circle's perimeter.Another superstition says that wearing a hat backwards can confuse the fairies and prevent them from pulling the wearer into their ring.
Although they have strong associations with doom, some legends paint fairy circles as places of fertility and fortune. Welsh folk belief is that mountain sheep that eat the grass of a fairy ring flourish, and that crops sown from such a place will prove more bountiful than those from normal land. A folk belief recorded in the Athenian Oracle claims that a house built on a fairy circle will bring prosperity to its inhabitants.Likewise, a legend from Pont y Wern says that in the 13th or 14th century, the inhabitants of the town of Corwrion watched fairies dancing in a ring around a glow worm every Sunday after church at a place called Pen y Bonc. They even joined the sprites in their revels. The legend survives in a rhyme: "With the fairies nimbly dancing round / The glow-worm on the Rising Ground." A Welsh tale recorded by Rhys in 1901 tells of a man who supposedly lived on the side of the Berwyn, above Cwm Pennant, in the early 19th century. The man destroyed a nest of rooks in a tree surrounded by a fairy ring. In gratitude, the fairies gave him a half crown every day but stopped when he told his friends, "for he had broken the rule of the fair folks by making their liberality known". Nevertheless, fairy boons are not without their curses, and tales often tell of the sprites exacting their revenge. ... " Wikipedia
I have personally experienced this taboo when working on the subject of mushrooms. For example, as I was taking this photo I was admonished not to pick them by a person I know from work who was passing by with her family. This happened twice from the same woman in the span of 3 hours and was strongly worded. I never have people paying any attention to my photography, and found this very strange. For the most part, I am "invisible " to women like the person who interrupted my photo shoot. The mushrooms suddenly and jarringly made me a visible person. Another example, was when I began to read up on Mayan ritual use of mushrooms. - My laptop suffered a scrubbing hack that erased all data on the hard drive. The folklore of fairy rings and dancing elves and the "wee folk" is not really new to me. I see them in the dream space - only difference is I envision them as a technological race with access to machines that imitate insect behavior, for example. I can also vouch for the dancing and especially , the hyper-sexuality of the fairy race. That's probably where my fascination with the female phallus (futa) comes from. ... On a more general level, there has always been a national security component to mushroom research from the very early days of R. Gordon Wasson and the CIA to active classification of much present day mushroom research. See for example work by Paul Stamets. - He focuses on the antiviral qualities of mushrooms - but also touches on the brain-like nature of underground mushroom mycelium networks. Stamets has had some of his work bottled up by national security concerns. Video - Mushrooms, Mycology of Consciousness - Paul Stamets, EcoFarm Conference Keynote 2017 ***
(Sept 14, 2019) Just received a copy of the once out of print : "The Road to Eleusis: Unveiling the Secret of the Mysteries by R. Gordon Wasson, Albert Hofmann , et al. (1978)" Gordon Wasson married a Russian in the 1920's and was struck by his wife's joy at finding wild mushrooms during a 1927 walk in rural New York state. She not only picked them against his strong objections, but she also took them home and cooked dinner with them! Mr. Wasson skipped that meal, but immediately launched into an investigation as to why Russians did not share the western phobia of mushrooms. Together with his wife, he spent more than 30 years collecting folk tales of mushroom use around the world. Initially this was restricted to the "Indo -European" peoples. The couple was not interested in stories out of Africa or the native American world. However this changed after he discovered a living mushroom religious ritual in the remote mountains of Mexico and was able to participate in a mushroom ritual that provided a first class mystical experience for him. From here he went on to conjecture that the great mystery of Eleusis in ancient Greece was mushroom derived.
Reading Wasson I was surprised that the abductors of Persephone to the underworld were from Nysa. Wasson does not do Africa by his own admission. He's strictly Indo-European. But Nysa is African! So what was going on there? " ... So much has been written about the Eleusinian Mysteries and for so long a time that a word is needed to justify this presentation of three papers dealing with them. For close to 2,000 years the Mystery was performed every year (except one) for carefully screened initiates in our month of September. Everyone speaking the Greek language was free to present himself, except only those who had the unexpiated blood of a murdered man on their hands. The initiates lived through the night in the telesterion of Eleusis, under the leadership of the two hierophantic families, the Eumolpids and the Kerykes, and they would come away all wonderstruck by what they had lived through: according to some, they were never the same as before. The testimony about that night of awe-inspiring experience is unanimous and Sophocles speaks for the initiates when he says: Thrice happy are those of mortals, who having seen those rites depart for Hades; for to them alone is granted to have a true life there. For the rest, all there is evil. Yet up to now no one has known what justifies utterances such as this, and there are many like it. Here lies for us the mystery of the Eleusinian Mysteries. To this mystery we three have applied ourselves and believe we have found the solution, close to 2,000 years after the last performance of the rite and some 4,000 years since the first. The first three chapters of this book were read by the respective authors as papers before the Second International Conference on Hallucinogenic Mushrooms held on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington, on Friday, 28 October 1977. - Wasson then goes on to theorize that the use of magic mushrooms was the cause of the sacred vision at Eleusis However, reading his descriptions the image that comes out to me is straight out of "She" - the subterranean "pillar of fire" or what I call the fiery female phallus! " ... Each year new candidates for initiation would walk that Sacred Road, people of all classes, emperors and prostitutes, slaves and freemen, an annual celebration that was to last for upwards of a millennium and a half until the pagan religion finally succumbed to the intense hatred and rivalry of a newer sect, the recently legitimized Christians in the fourth century of our era. The only requirement, beyond a knowledge of the Greek language, was the price of the sacrificial pig and the fees of the various priests and guides, a little more than a month's wages, plus the expense of the stay in Athens. Every step of the way recalled some aspect of an ancient myth that told how the Earth Mother, the goddess Demeter, had lost her only daughter, the maiden Persephone, abducted as she gathered flowers by her bridegroom, who was Hades or the lord of death. The pilgrims called upon Iakchos as they walked. It was he who was thought to lead them on their way: through him, they would summon back the queen Persephone into the realm of the living. When at last they arrived at Eleusis, they danced far into the night beside the well where originally the mother had mourned for her lost Persephone. As they danced in honor of those sacred two goddesses and of their mysterious consort Dionysus, the god of inebriants, the stars and the moon and the daughters of Ocean would seem to join in their exultation. Then they passed through the gates of the fortress walls, beyond which, shielded from profane view, was enacted the great Mystery of Eleusis. It was called a mystery because no one, under pain of death, could reveal what happened within the sanctuary. My colleagues and I, working from hints in numerous sources, have ventured to go beyond that forbidden gate.
Ancient writers unanimously indicate that something was seen in the great telesterion or initiation hall within the sanctuary. To say so much was not prohibited. The experience was a vision whereby the pilgrim became someone who saw, an epoptes. The hall, however, as can now be reconstructed from archaeological remains, was totally unsuited for theatrical performances; nor do the epigraphically extant account books for the sanctuary record any expenditures for actors or stage apparatus. What was witnessed there was no play by actors, but phasmata, ghostly apparitions, in particular, the spirit of Persephone herself, returned from the dead with her new-born son, conceived in the land of death. The Greeks were sophisticated about drama and it is highly unlikely that they could have been duped by some kind of theatrical trick, especially since it is people as intelligent as the poet Pindar and the tragedian Sophocles who have testified to the overwhelming value of what was seen at Eleusis.
There were physical symptoms, moreover, that accompanied the vision: fear and a trembling in the limbs, vertigo, nausea, and a cold sweat. Then there came the vision, a sight amidst an aura of brilliant light that suddenly flickered through the darkened chamber. Eyes had never before seen the like, and apart from the formal prohibition against telling of what had happened, the experience itself was incommunicable, for there are no words adequate to the task. Even a poet could only say that he had seen the beginning and the end of life and known that they were one, something given by god. The division between earth and sky melted into a pillar of light. ... " The Road To Eleusis: Unveiling the Secret of the Mysteries by R. Gordon Wasson (1978)

The Walters recently added a Gandhara Buddha c. 300 AD just as you enter the room with the sarcophagi and try to tie the two up. - The fusion of Ionic Greek and the Buddhist world. Or the Aryan world. : " ... Gandhara, a region in northwestern Pakistan, was conquered by the Greek king of Macedon, Alexander the Great, in 330 BCE. The conquest introduced Greco-Roman political and cultural ways of life, which were maintained and developed in the region by succeeding kings. Gandhara prospered from its proximity to land and sea routes that made the region a trading hub between Persia, Central Asia, China, and Africa. This Buddha’s wavy hair, his muscular arm, and the undulating folds of his robe reflect the artistic conventions of the Greco-Roman world. Specific characteristics of the Buddha’s body that signal his heightened wisdom include his cranial protuberance ("ushnisha"), the dot between his eyes ("urna"), and his elongated earlobes. ... " Walters Gallery I think a better association is with the lady opening her skirt to reveal a penis - a hermaphrodite or "Hermaphroditus" just before the Greco-Indian Buddha. The Freer Gallery in Washington , DC also has Persian images of Dionysus with female breasts. The explanation is garbled though : he's "self sufficient". " .... Hermaphroditus was a half-male, half-female deity who was the child of the messenger-god Hermes and Aphrodite, goddess of love. A favorite subject of Hellenistic and Roman artists, he was depicted with breasts, male genitals, and a voluptuous body. Images of Hermaphroditus were placed in gymnasia, baths, theaters, and homes. The small size of this example suggests that it was made as a decorative object or for a household shrine. ... " Walters Gallery - Walters Hermaphroditus photo Dionysus is "twice born" as is revealed at the top of the right hand artifact. First from a mortal woman, then from the thigh of a seated Zeus. - Like all Ostriches and probably all birds and dragons are twice born - laid by the mother and and hatched by the father. Also find this image in Mithraism. Stage 2 is male "bride" of the sun although many times the modern translation is "bridegroom". It's really male "bride". The Gandhara Buddha at the Walters leads us to the Aryans, but the better core of this is probably Negro - specifically Egyptian. At the center of most grand Egyptian pyramids is one of these massive chests.

That's how violent it felt to me at the time. - Like an inner volcano had erupted. However, once I stopped fighting and surrendered to the experience, the way the comet surrendered to the gravity of Jupiter, I entered a form of equipoise and my "inner noise" vanished to a deep and sustained silence. Also my vision cleared up considerably with the still incredible ability of staring at the sun at noon with no ill-effects. - It seems my "inner eye" opened up in the summer of 1994. - So I suppose, I experienced a "second birth" from the thigh of Zeus - or Jupiter. ... Similar to the world of the Roman Sarcophagi. - Its a still unfolding experience, but I can corroborate many experiences that Terence McKenna has reported - like occasionally feeling what Jung would describe as exteriorized libido - physical action at a distance when the unconscious is doing its thing. ... *** - 2nd Video of Sarcophagus room at the Walters Gallery of Art, Baltimore. - Herodotus' Egyptian labyrinth was probably the direct inspiration of this 2nd century AD Roman - or more accurately Pyringian marble Sarcophagus culture ...

Unlike many sarcophagi, this one is carved on all four sides in high relief. Garlands held by winged goddesses or personifications on the corners and Eros (Cupid) figures on the sides support the busts of a crowned deity (left) and a young girl (right).

The lid takes the form of a temple roof with a pediment (triangular gable) at each end.

Here, the brothers seize the maidens amid a scene of confusion. On the ends, the Dioscuri carry off the women in their chariots. The Romans believed that the abduction of these mortal women by the twins represented the transition of the deceased from the human realm to that of the divine immortals. The violence of the front scene is echoed by the figures on the lid, where Victories sacrifice bulls on either side of a vase-like cult object.

Both prisoners are female; the one on the right appears lost in grief, while the figure on the left sits proudly with her head raised.

"Carved in high relief, Dionysus approaches the sleeping Ariadne on the island of Naxos where Theseus, whom she had rescued from the Minotaur's labyrinth, had abandoned her. He is surrounded by his attendants, including satyrs, maenads, and multiple figures of the half-man, half-goat deity Pan. To the right, beside the sea (indicated by waves and a small dolphin below), Ariadne lies with her head in the lap of Thanatos, god of death. Eros draws Dionysus (panther at his feet) towards the maiden, who will be released from her death-like state and marry him. Dionysus's ability to overcome death makes this appropriate imagery for a sarcophagus. Although the faces of Dionysus and the satyr to his left have unfortunately been destroyed, the brilliance of the carving, the tall, thin proportions of the figures, and the complexity of the composition reveal this work as a masterpiece of the late 2nd century. Like several of the other sarcophagi here, this example is large enough to accommodate the burial of a married couple.

" ...Ojude Oba is a Yoruba festival held in Ijebu Ode, a town in Ogun State, Southwestern Nigeria. It is held annually the third day after Eid al-Kabir. The festival began over 100 years ago. Today, the festival is usually attended by over 250000 people across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. The festival is often sponsored by the incumbent Awujale, the people of Ijebu-Ode, individuals and corporate organizations. ... " Wikipedia From speaking to a regular Yoruba cab driver in the U.S.. who happens to be Christian , it seems clear that knowledge of Brazilian Samba in Nigeria is non-existent. What matters though is the religion of the traditional rulers of the tribe, and in the case of the Yoruba - this seems to be Islam ... A form of Islam was probably inherited by the Yoruba kings by the Queen moremi conquest of Yorubland in the 12th century AD. - Probably an islamized version of the queen of Sheba cult. " ... Awujale is the royal title of the king of Ijebu Kingdom. The holder is addressed as the Awujale of Ijebuland.The present Awujale is Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona Ogbagba II. He is from the Anikinaiya Ruling House. ... Ijebu (also known as Jebu or Geebu) was a Yoruba kingdom in pre-colonial Nigeria. It was formed around the fifteenth century. According to legend, its ruling dynasty was founded by Obanta of Ile-Ife. The state rose in power in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries mainly due to its important position on the trade routes between Lagos and Ibadan. The kingdom imposed sharp limits on trade insisting that all trade through the region be conducted by Ijebu merchants. The monopoly brought great wealth to the kingdom, but also annoyed Europeans. - Unknown 2057 Acadamicos do Cubango (2016) The theme of the parade was aquatic: mermaids, seahorses and sea monsters. The orisha mentioned was Olokun: " ... Olokun is believed to be the parent of Aje, the orisha of great wealth and of the bottom of the ocean. Olokun is revered as the ruler of all bodies of water and for the authority over other water deities. Olokun is highly praised for her or his ability to give great wealth, health and prosperity to her or his followers. Communities in both West Africa and the African diaspora view Olokun variously as female, male, or androgynous ... In the Candomblé religion of Brazil, Olokun is venerated as the mother of Yemoja and the owner of the sea. She is recognized in Candomblé terreiros, but not during celebrations. In this respect, Olokun is similar to Odudua and Orunmilá; they held great importance in West Africa but play a minor role in Afro-Brazilian religion. There are no xirê chants dedicated to Olokun as with other orixás. Candomblé initiates recognize the divinity of Olokun but do not hold her as a personal deity. The veneration of Olokun has been revived in the late 20th and early 21st century through visits to Brazil by West African priests.
Olokun is celebrated during the Festival of Yemoja (Festa de Iemanjá). ... Olokun is an orisha in the religion of Santería. Olokun is an androgynous orisha, meaning Olokun is a man and a woman, depending on if it is the Olokun of Ifá, or the Olokun of Ocha. ... According to The Book Of Ifá, Olokun became enraged and rose to the surface. As Olokun did this to drown the humans, the orishas went to Orunmila to ask him what to do. Orunmila told them that Ogun needed to create the longest chain he can possibly create. It was ultimately Obatala who had the responsibility of imprisoning Olokun in her/his domain. Knowing this, Obatala went to Ogun and asked him to make the longest chain he had ever made, and so he did. Obatala then went down into the ocean and trapped Olokun with the chain. ... " Wikipedia Sounds like a futa to me! The seahorses probably confirm this ... Female seahorses have a penis and impregnate male seahorses. .... This is a new orisha being experienced in west Africa. This also probably ties in to the exit of "She" from Nigeria.

I discovered him when watching a documentary of Rhodesia. Apparently the builders of the Kariba dam on the Zambezi between Rhodesia and Zambia suffered dam collapse from an extremely rare cyclone that washed all their work away , killing several workers. Eventually they discovered from the local community that the spirit of the river was against their dam: " ... The Nyami Nyami, otherwise known as the Zambezi River God or Zambezi Snake spirit, is one of the most important gods of the Tonga people. Nyami Nyami is believed to protect the Tonga people and give them sustenance in difficult times. The River God is usually portrayed as male. This little known episode is probably why I have never heard of the Kariba dam, which is supposedly the largest dam in the world. It may also be why Rhodesia no longer exists ... " ... The Kariba Dam project was planned by the government of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, or Central African Federation (CAF). The CAF was a semi-independent state within the Commonwealth in southern Africa that existed from 1953 to the end of 1963, comprising the former self-governing British colonies of Northern Rhodesia and Southern Rhodesia and the former British protectorate of Nyasaland. Northern Rhodesia had decided earlier in 1953 (before the Federation was founded) to build a dam within its territory, on the Kafue River, a major tributary of the Zambezi. It would have been closer to Zambia's Copperbelt, which was in need of more power. This would have been a cheaper and less grandiose project, with a smaller environmental impact. Southern Rhodesia, the richest of the three, objected to a Kafue dam and insisted that the dam be sited instead at Kariba. Also, the capacity of the Kafue dam was much lower than that at Kariba. Initially the dam was managed and maintained by the Central African Power Corporation. The Kariba Dam is now owned and operated by the Zambezi River Authority, which is jointly and equally owned by Zimbabwe and Zambia. ...

"Dogs Are Not Here for Our Convenience: Spaying and neutering puppies shouldn’t be standard policy — and it isn’t automatically the “responsible” choice either." By Alexandra Horowitz, Sept. 3, 2019 This act of convenience is supposed to reduce aggressive behavior in pets, but is illegal in many European countries like Switzerland and Norway. From personal experience at work, dogs can still be pretty aggressive even after the cut. There is no need for it - and the same thing goes for humans. Technically, Norway and Switzerland only restrict inhumane neutering and spaying, but there is a larger point here that applies to humans as well. Eros reduces aggression - it's the opposite of the stated purpose of this operation. And more importantly eros with or without a partner, at its' more exotic depths, leads to the mystical blending of shiva and shakti energies - or the Greek "hieros gamos".

The Mangueira plot popularized for the general public the code name given to singer Maria Bethânia for her Iyalorixá, Menininha do Gantois, immortalized in Caymmi's 1972 song, Prayer to Mother Menininha.
By Cidinha da Silva From Cidinha da Silva
Who doesn't remember the duet of Gal and Bethânia praising the venerable matriarch: The most beautiful star, huh / It's on Gantois / And the brightest sun, huh? / It's in Gantois / Olorum who sent this daughter of Oxum / take care of us and take care of everything / Oh my mother / My mother Little girl? / Oh, my mother / Little Girl from Gantois.
Or the lesser known but equally beautiful, Requiem for Mother Menininha do Gantois, composed and performed by Gilberto Gil, in 1986, when Iyalorixá left for Orum. A powerful and classic tribute, a requiem for that fundamental woman in the expression of Brazilian religiosity in its African foundations. It was / My mother is gone / My mother is gone / Nonetheless - why, hey, 4th / Nonetheless being queen of the golden throne of Oxum / Nonetheless being the mother of each / Mother / Do Orum, of sky / From the orum, from the sky / Help me to live in this ilê aiê.
Songs of a time, the 1970s and 1980s, when African mother religions could be freely worshiped, at least in popular songbook and carnival . For the police persecution of the terreiros has been maintained since the early days of the slave period, when, in order to perform the ceremonies, the African religious rituals had to cross the Catholic liturgy. They were decades of visible harassment in the invasion and destruction of terreiros, beatings of patrons and priests, kidnapping of patrimony, even today in the hands of the police, occurred in the first decades of the twentieth century, also of less perceived persecution to the houses of Asé, in the period of civil-military dictatorship.
Today, with the hegemony of the slot churches and their militarized battle against the Candomblé yards, materialized in the stoning of practitioners, invasion and material destruction of worship spaces - take the example of the arson at Ilê Asé Oyá Bagan in Brasilia, in 2015, among dozens of others. Moral aggressions against candomblé religious authorities, houses of Umbanda, healing centers governed by principles of African and Afro-Amerindian religions are also widespread; murder of priests, malicious or not; physical aggression from north to south of the country.
The plot The girl in Oyá's eyes supports the fight against religious racism. January 21 was the date of the death of Iyalorixá Gildásia dos Santos e Santos, Mother Gilda, of Salvador, was killed as a result of assaults suffered by an evangelical church in October 1999.
At the time, the newspaper Folha Universal printed on the cover a photo of Mother Gilda, in ceremonial attire to illustrate a story entitled: "Charlatan Macumbeiros hurt the pockets and lives of customers." Iyalorixá's house was invaded. The husband was verbally and physically assaulted by members of this evangelical church and his house was destroyed. Mother Gilda could not stand the attacks and had a heart attack. She died three months later, on January 21, 2000, which then became a National Day for Combating Religious Intolerance.
The Champion Mangueira Carnival Parade is a sigh of freedom for all people who profess a world of respect for the beliefs of every human being. And in the Brazilian case, to the collective valorization of the African cultures, structuring of this country.
But who is Oyá, Iansã, represented by her daughter, singer Maria Bethânia na Sapucaí? To know her, as well as her presence in the artistic rituals of her beloved daughter, I recommend reading the dissertation of anthropologist Marlon Marcos (UFBA), OYÁ-BETHÂNIA: the myths of an orisha in the rites of a star. Certainly, one of the dozens of materials consulted by the director and green and pink composers for the development of the plot.
Marlon Marcos defines it this way: “Of the orixás worshiped in Brazil, one of the most popular is Oyá, better known as Iansã. This African goddess began to be worshiped primarily among the Yoruba. And their worship began to reach the full extent of the various ethnicities of the Yoruban world, standing out prominently in cities such as Oyo, Kosô, Irá, Ifé, Ketu, regions that today comprise a part of Nigeria and present-day Benin. Oyá is the orisha of great movements and various forms. These forms that represent her mastery over various elements of nature, their essence is freedom inclined to constant transformation. ”
Bethânia, thrilled at the end of the champions' parade, in an intelligent answer to one more foolish question, prayed that Iansã will never forget us, because without her, one will not walk! It is that Iansã is movement. The purest and most contradictory expression of the movement. She is the lady of the winds, the storms, the lightning and thunder. Of change. Of the transformation. Of impermanence. Therefore, without it one does not walk.
The singer, eager to honor her mother, D. Canô, made a red rose tattoo on the arm that holds the microphone for all to see. She revealed that the tattoo is temporary, because by religious prohibition one can not tattoo the body.
Another demonstration of fidelity to religious precepts given by the Star emerged from an interpretation of the oil palm staff. According to them, Bethânia paraded on the ground on the day of victory celebration because, if she came in a float, she would be in a position above the head of her Iyalorixá, Mother Carmem, who was watching her from a box. That would not be acceptable. In the version of the singer, presented to journalists, there was a problem with the car and she could not have reached it.
Each chooses the version that suits or enchants. Here with me, I think Bethânia is right to preserve herself. ... Everything is plot. Everything is mystery in transformation.
Eparrey, Oyá! Eparrey!

The East calls it the “Spinning Woman” Maya, who creates illusion by her dancing. Had we not long since known it from the symbolism of dreams, this hint from the Orient would put us on the right track: the enveloping, embracing, and devouring element points unmistakably to the mother, that is, to the son’s relation to the real mother, to her imago, and to the woman who is to become a mother for him. His Eros is passive like a child’s; he hopes to be caught, sucked in, enveloped, and devoured. He seeks, as it were, the protecting, nourishing, charmed circle of the mother, the condition of the infant released from every care, in which the outside world bends over him and even forces happiness upon him. No wonder the real world vanishes from sight!
If this situation is dramatized, as the unconscious usually dramatizes it, then there appears before you on the psychological stage a man living regressively, seeking his childhood and his mother, fleeing from a cold cruel world which denies him understanding. ... " CG Jung

"We cover what we have to cover, the rest is art," she told the G1 .
Andrea spent two and a half hours receiving the body painting that represents the flame of metals, matching the school's plot, which this year honors the orisha Ogum.

- I take care of myself all year long. I work out and have a balanced diet. Today I had a more specific diet. Fruits, salad, sweet potatoes and chicken, ”she explained.
In addition to dietary care, Andrea does bodybuilding six times a week and aesthetic treatments. The focus is on the two areas of her body she likes best, her legs and butt.

Model Viviane Castro, 30, used body to honor Presidents Lula and Barack Obama
February 21, 2009
Raphael Falavigna / Terra

Direct from São Paulo a year after the controversy that made her known all over the country, model Viviane Castro, 30, moved from the Carnival of Rio de Janeiro to that of Sao Paulo and does not seem to regret it.
Highlight of X-9 Paulistana, last school to parade this Saturday, Viviane will not invest in the 3.5 cm sex tape, but in a body painting on the thighs, illustrating the faces of presidents of Brazil and the United States, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Barack Obama.
Around 10 pm this Friday, Viviane spoke with Terra at the Holliday Inn hotel, which is on the outskirts of the Sambadrome, and said that this year she will be more behaved on the avenue. "I will parade with the bottom of the bikini, but a painting will be done on the breasts," she said.
Expelled from the São Clemente carioca association, the brunette said she was wronged. "The judges said I was naked (during the school parade in 2008), but the sex tape was skin color. They even hinted that I was to blame for the school being lowered, but it was going to be anyway," she says with disdain.
São Clement was punished with half a point in 2008 due to this episode.
With the trauma of last years Carnival, Viviane even gave up on parading, but changed her mind when she received the invitation of X-9 while doing a nude rehearsal for Sexy Premium magazine, this month's highlight in newsstands throughout Brazil.
"Coincidentally the rehearsal was in the school shed and the people there called me," she said. Trying to clean up the image she created, the model now wants people to see it differently and explains: "It wasn't a marketing scam, I guarantee you," she says.
After parading, Viviane does not intend to continue making a stir in the media. She now wants to return to her hometown, Luziânia (GO), and continue with the position of businesswoman. She owns a supermarket.
The painting, which took three hours to complete, was chosen by the model because the school has an Amazon theme for the samba plot and Obama wants to buy the region against the will of Lula, according to her. ...

A rainbow serpent hut in Haitian and Benin voodoo. The serpent is activated by working the nymphae and the "female phallus" ... According to wikipedia": " ... The Potomitan (also: poteau-mitan, poto mitan, poto-mitan or pòtòmitan: Haitian Creole: "central pole" - from the French: poteau, "post", and mitan, an archaism for "half") is an essential structural feature of the hounfour (temple) in Haitian vodou. Occupying the central position in the peristyle (sacred space at the centre of the hounfour / oufo), the potomitan takes the form of a decorated wooden post (occasionally a living tree) by means of which, it is believed, the loa descend to earth to inhabit, for a time, the bodies of the faithful through spirit possession. The structure consists usually of the whole trunk of a palm tree, being fixed to the ground by a masonry pedestal commonly known as a socle and attached at the top to the roof of the temple. A potomitan is often painted with designs in bright colours, featuring usually the motif of two intertwined serpents, symbolizing the primordial male and female divine couple Damballa and Ayida Weddo who, according to the cosmogony of the Haitian religion, support the sky, preventing it from crumbling and falling to earth. Taken its entirety, however, the ritual post represents the deity Papa Legba, the gatekeeper or messenger of the loa, without whose intercession communication with the realm of the divine would be impossible. Sacrifices are carried out regularly to sanctify the structure / honour the deity, either at the foot of the potomitan itself or at the base of the socle - most notably prior to voodoo ceremonies proper - in order to keep it a fit conduit for the transmission of the divine powers.The potomitan constitutes a ritual representation, in a specifically Haitian context, of the axis mundi and, more specifically the world tree. ... " Wikipedia - Unknown 2310 - Carol Nakamura (2011) Those are my subjective readings of these images though. The potomitan is a physical object - however the inner meaning is almost certainly a female shaman in a state of sexual arousal - whether from interpersonal contact or from self-pleasuring ... A hint of this comes across from indirect observations in a link below. Brazilian voodoo probably is modeled in exactly the same way as the Haitian version. And the goal is probably exactly the same as in Japanese futa - the female phallus and the binding effect it has through futa " semen" ... The official comments have little content: Oct 21, 2011: " ... Carol Nakamura is the cover of the November issue of Sexy magazine and the rehearsal was photographed in Cancun, Mexico.

Indianara Carvalho / 22 years old
- How was the preparation and victory of Miss Bumbum?
I had been training at the gym for two years. But now I've relaxed. After taking photos for sexy magazine, I went to Rio Grande do Sul to visit my family. I already ate barbecue (laughs).
- What was it like taking your clothes off completely in Punta Cana?
I felt comfortable because where we were all women were topless, from the youngest girl to the old lady.
- Are you single?
Yes, for a year and a half …
- Don't you miss a guy? Don't you feel lonely?
No, because summer comes and we always get some girlfriends. I also want to enjoy with my friends, with my family, with the new friends that will come, enjoy the Carnival. Deep down, a boyfriend, however open-minded, will get in the way. ...
- Why did you decide to rebuild your hymen?
I was always wanted to be a virgin again.
- Is it a fantasy?
Yes for sure. If there is a sexual fantasy that I haven't realized yet, its's losing my virginity again. ...
- Has any man ever cheated on his wife with you?
Yes (laughs). But it was not my will. I am single and have no obligation to know if you are married or hiding the ring in your pocket. I stayed with him until I found out he was married
- And in bed…
I like it to start with love ...
- What is your favorite position?
I like it over the top ... as I find it easy to reach orgasm through sexual friction
- Is orgasm almost guaranteed?
100% guaranteed (laughs)… But I have no restrictions: on all fours it's good, on the side it's good. It's according to my mood and I let the man drive me, because I like it so much when I see my partner feeling pleasure.
- Never had threesomes?
In this part I'm kind of selfish. I have no problem performing sexual fantasy. I have no restrictions. Now, when there's a third person, I find it a little complicated.
What fantasy can you talk about?
Oh, there are several. In the car, in the corridor of the building; on the beach at night… I was also very curious about seeing prostitution houses, I wanted to know how it is, why men go… My ex-boyfriend and I arrived and then went up to a room. I wanted to put myself in the shoes of a girl in the house, but with my boyfriend. The experience was interesting, because I felt comfortable doing things I had not done with him until then…
- Have you ever been to swing houses?
I went on a friend's birthday. I could see the people interacting, joking. I'm a little voyeur, I like to look. I like porn. ...
- And what do you look for when you go to see your porn movie?
I like to see sex between young couples, I like to see well-endowed men. And I like to watch anal sex movies.
- And do you like to have anal sex?
I like it… First, it has to be done very carefully. ... I like everything that is forbidden and difficult. For me there is no "no". When someone tells me no, I can wait years, months or hours, but I go and prove that the "no" can be "yes". ... " Sexy Magazine

"I know I'm going to cause controversy, but I don't believe in the loyalty of men. A woman, yes, when she's with one guy, she's only going to be with another guy if she's not emotionally happy. It's hard for her to just want sex. Men are more carnal sometimes they don't even know the name of the woman they had sex with. ...

My head is old, I'm intense, if I like someone I just want that person. But when I stop liking them, I turn the page quickly," she reveals.
Despite her regrets, Juju does believe in eternal love. "I think there is that person who is your soul mate with whom you want to share your life. Every marriage goes through daily problems, but if the two face them together without hurting each other, it will be forever." ego.globo *** More Rainbow Serpent mythology: Basic Information
Alternative name: Dan Ayido Hwedo (Fon)
Disambiguation: Ayida, Aida Wedo
Titles: Rainbow Serpent, Rainbow Snake, the Great Python
Type/Species: Great Serpent, Ouroboros
Origin: Mythology of the Dahomey Peoples, Fon Mythology, Haitian Mythology
About Aido Hwedo
Aido Hwedo was the Rainbow Serpent and the great cosmic serpent in Dahomey and Fon mythology. [She] was sometimes called the great python, for [she] served Mawu-Lisa during the creation of the world.
Though some accounts maintained that Mawu-Lisa created the Rainbow Serpent first, before anything else in the universe, others claimed that Aido Hwedo came into being with the first human beings or that [she] existed even before Mawu-Lisa. Thus, [she] was not considered the [daughter] of the supreme deity.
Aido Hwedo was so enormous that [she] had to eat vast quantities of iron to sustain [her] strength. When there was not enough iron, [she] would devour [her] own tail to sustain [herself].
[She] served Mawu-Lisa and participated in the creation of the universe by acting as Mawu-Lisa's vehicle as she filled the world, transporting her through the cosmos by carrying her in [her] mouth. [She] supported the earth by curling underneath it to ensure that everything in the universe remained in its place. To this day, Aido Hwedo continues in this task.
Later, the great Rainbow Serpent became known for [her] jealous nature, and believers were careful not to incur [her] wrath. Newlyweds presented special offerings to Aido Hwedo, and relatives petitioned [her] not to harm them.
Aido Hwedo in the Creation of the World
Mawu-Lisa created humans on the first day, and thereafter made everything else with the help of Aido Hwedo, who carried the deity in [her] mouth. That is why the world is shaped the way it is. There are winding curves and both high and low places; all of these were made by the movements of the Rainbow Serpent.
[Her] tracks became chasms, sloping curves, and the rivers. Each night, Mawu-Lisa and Aido Hwedo would rest, and the serpent would leave vast piles of excrement, which built up the mountains and filled them with minable treasures and other riches.
Aido Hwedo as the World Serpent
When Mawu-Lisa finished, she became worried that the world might sink under the weight of itself, because there were too many things on its surface: too many mountains, too many trees, too many big animals, and so on. When she realized its great weight would continue to increase, she feared it would fall through the cosmos. Thus, it was necessary to rest the world on something that could support its incredible weight to prevent it from toppling.
Thus, the supreme deity decreed that Aido Hwedo could support the world on [her] coiled body. She asked the Rainbow Serpent to circle [herself] under the earth and hold it in place by gripping his tail in his mouth. Thereafter, whenever [she] shifted, the earth moved, either as a tremor or an earthquake.
While [her] body held up the world, the heat generated by [her] efforts put [her] in agony, so Mawu-Lisa crafted the seas and the oceans to keep Aido Hwedo cool. The Rainbow Serpent despised heat, so [she] remained submerged in the waters of the sea to keep comfortable.
Unfortunately, sometimes the oceans were not enough to keep Aido Hwedo properly cool, and [she] writhes in pain. These snake-like stirrings caused violent earthquakes from time to time.
Aido Hwedo and the End of the World
Since Aido Hwedo coiled under the earth, [she] could no longer acquire new food sources. According to some traditions, there were red monkeys that lived in the sea, and they created iron bars to feed Aido Hwedo. Other traditions maintain that Aido Hwedo had an enormous supply of iron under the earth that was gradually diminishing.
However, should the monkeys fail to produce enough food, or when the iron supply was gone, Aido Hwedo would be forced to eat [her] own tail. Once that was gone, the whole world would end by falling completely into the oceans.
Physical Description
Aido Hwedo was a giant python or an enormous python-like serpent with vast coils. Sometimes [she] was described as being celestial blue. Other accounts claimed that [she] had yellow and red stripes that ran the length of [her] body or that [she] was brilliantly multicolored.
Aido Hwedo, to this day, can be seen in the sky as a rainbow, or in the light reflected off water. - Unknown 2402 More Namio Harukawa "serving the deva" - The rainbow serpent is probably female not male.

I guess the exposure to this turns you black ! - They were carefully framing the nympea shots like precious works of art. Which was is the opposite of the # me too lynching I was expecting .... The dream world amazons want this done ... Ironically, however, real life black women are too religious and conservative to do this ... None of this makes sense to me - but my best guess us we are dealing with chthonic Greek furies that must be appeased : " ... In ancient Greek religion and mythology, the Erinyes ... also known as the Furies, were female chthonic deities of vengeance, sometimes referred to as "infernal goddesses" . A formulaic oath in the Iliad invokes them as "the Erinyes, that under earth take vengeance on men, whosoever hath sworn a false oath."Walter Burkert suggests they are "an embodiment of the act of self-cursing contained in the oath." They correspond to the Dirae in Roman mythology. The Roman writer Maurus Servius Honoratus wrote that they are called "Eumenides" in hell, "Furiae" on earth, and "Dirae" in heaven.
According to Hesiod's Theogony, when the Titan Cronus castrated his father, Uranus, and threw his genitalia into the sea, the Erinyes (along with the Giants and the Meliae) emerged from the drops of blood which fell on the earth (Gaia), while Aphrodite was born from the crests of sea foam. According to variant accounts, they emerged from an even more primordial level—from Nyx ("Night"), or from a union between air and mother earth. Their number is usually left indeterminate. Virgil, probably working from an Alexandrian source, recognized three: Alecto or Alekto ("endless"), Megaera ("jealous rage"), and Tisiphone or Tilphousia ("vengeful destruction"), all of whom appear in the Aeneid. Dante Alighieri followed Virgil in depicting the same three-character triptych of Erinyes; in Canto IX of the Inferno they confront the poets at the gates of the city of Dis. Whilst the Erinyes were usually described as three maiden goddesses, the Erinys Telphousia was usually a by-name for the wrathful goddess Demeter, who was worshipped under the title of Erinys in the Arkadian town of Thelpousa. ... " Wikipedia *** - (Jan 1, 2020) A famous African fury ? The Sphinx at Giza! - According to the Oedipus myth .... " ... The Sphinx is said to have guarded the entrance to the Greek city of Thebes, asking a riddle to travellers to allow them passage. The exact riddle asked by the Sphinx was not specified by early tellers of the myth, and was not standardized as the one given below until late in Greek history.
It was said in late lore that Hera or Ares sent the Sphinx from her Aethiopian homeland (the Greeks always remembered the foreign origin of the Sphinx) to Thebes in Greece where she asked all passersby the most famous riddle in history: "Which creature has one voice and yet becomes four-footed and two-footed and three-footed?" She strangled and devoured anyone who could not answer. Oedipus solved the riddle by answering: "Man—who crawls on all fours as a baby, then walks on two feet as an adult, and then uses a walking stick in old age". By some accounts (but much more rarely), there was a second riddle: "There are two sisters: one gives birth to the other and she, in turn, gives birth to the first. Who are the two sisters?" The answer is "day and night" (both words— ... and ..., respectively—are feminine in Ancient Greek). This second riddle is also found in a Gascon version of the myth and could be very ancient.
Bested at last, the Sphinx then threw herself from her high rock and died. An alternative version tells that she devoured herself. In both cases, Oedipus can therefore be recognized as a "liminal" or threshold figure, helping effect the transition between the old religious practices, represented by the death of the Sphinx, and the rise of the new, Olympian gods. ... " Wikipedia *** And as in my dream, the furies are often described as having coal black skin ... " ... The Erinyes live in Erebus and are more ancient than any of the Olympian deities. Their task is to hear complaints brought by mortals against the insolence of the young to the aged, of children to parents, of hosts to guests, and of householders or city councils to suppliants—and to punish such crimes by hounding culprits relentlessly. The Erinyes are crones and, depending upon authors, described as having snakes for hair, dog's heads, coal black bodies, bat's wings, and blood-shot eyes. In their hands they carry brass-studded scourges, and their victims die in torment ... " Wikipedia *** - Therefore, a plain reading of the Greek classics provides an African and Amazon fountainhead for Egyptian civilization (ancient Sphinx). But that is not usually what happens.

Yes, and it was nice because I received the affection of the community, both women and men - everyone stopped to see and asked to take pictures.
- And you had no shame, right? Walked around naked ....
I'm happy with my body. I think we have to be like this, free. You don't have to be modest. We have to show sensuality, be sexy.
- Did you like the people screaming?
I loved it! The more the merrier (laughs). The more, the more I let go.
- How did the Melon Woman come about?
It arose precisely because I was topless in a float in Vila Isabel in 2008. And a radio broadcaster from Rio de Janeiro named Tino Júnior gave my name. I caught fame by accident. It parachuted into my life. I was happy because I'm a funk character and I really wanted to do a community rehearsal to show my roots. It was a tribute to the people.

Because of the breasts, but there are a lot of people who are in doubt. Whether it's the breasts or the butt, that's also big.

Yes, but they are so natural that it goes smoothly. They are natural even when it's time to pick them up ... (laughs). I think breasts have to be soft, delicious, generous, appetizing…

I think it's a cool time precisely because the movement is so strong. The funkeiro is very much in evidence and the magazine is wonderful. I always wanted to do an essay for you and I know it will be one of the boldest in the history of the magazine. Going to the community and being hugged by the public is wonderful.
- Are you dating, Renata?
I do not date. I have too many fans for me to dedicate to one man (laughs). I'm not worried about a relationship, I'm worried about enjoying life with a lot of intensity. The man, to arrest me, has to be very competent.
- In the sexual area…
It has to have chemistry, it has to be very smart and very tasty.
- What is the hot man for you?
The man who knows how to drive in bed, who does what a woman likes and who knows how to prioritize. A man who knows how to make a woman come.
- For you, then, it's important that the guy knows how to suck…
It's the main thing. I've always believed this: Every real man has to be very horny in making a woman come. I seek this man. The selfish guy, I dismiss.
- And physically?
I have no stereotype. If there is chemistry and attraction, to me, it's like a magnet, I look, I want and I can.
...
- What is the ideal frequency of sex?
When I like a man, I'm insatiable. I will not stop. I like it a lot and I really give myself.
- Have you had sex being watched? Because you showed a lot of tranquility with your nudity…
I don't remember. But it would be nice.
- Have you ever been to a swing house?
Yes - but when I went I only saw, did nothing. And I would prefer to do more. Look, there was a time when I was addicted to watching porn movies. It got me the most horny to watch.
- And did you masturbate?
To this day I masturbate before bed (laughs). I can't sleep without cum.
- Tell me about a sexual adventure… I was in an orgy and I loved it. There in Rio. A fetish, right?
...
- You are lucky!
Yes! It's because when chemistry hits, it's right. I don't like to be with several men,though, - I like to be with one man and well done. Every day better, improving... " Sexy Magazine

I still have not gotten any credit for the Ostrich female phallus ! In my book thats a major advance for science ... And it's not that rare - an elephant penis does not tell you the sex of the elephant ... But Ostriches are rare in that the penis is female only. That's a form of transgressive sexuality - male chastity and female led relationships - the theory is if men curb their libido it sparks the female libido ... Males and females have nothing in common when it comes to sex - Curbing male libido was practiced by the Romans. Gladiators for example - they were not gelded, but had a removable surgical procedure that prevented self-pleasure. Ancient Greek athletes too. ... The practice probably comes from ancient Egypt. :Infibulation " ... Greek and Roman slave owners tried various methods to prevent sexual activity between their slaves, or between slaves and members of the household. Substances, such as hemlock juice, for instance, would be applied to the male testes of slaves at puberty.
Far more often, though, they employed a sadistic means of genital control called infibulation. On the uncircumcised phalluses of boys approaching puberty they made a series of perforations in the foreskin, using a needle. After the holes healed, they inserted a fibula, a large bronze forerunner of the safety pin, through the foreskin. Sometimes the luckless wearer was fitted with larger bronze rings that were welded shut by applying red-hot charcoal.
This horrendous practice is on visual display at the Louvre Museum in Paris, where two larger-than-life, very nude statues of Roman slaves can be seen. They clearly show infibulation and what it did to phalluses—as well as what infibulated life must have been like.
Believe it or not, infibulation was thought to be the more “humane” approach. Masters ordered male slaves to be infibulated rather than subject them to castration, given the much higher likelihood of their death in surgery. It was also a common practice to infibulate gladiators—the rationale being to preserve their vigor. (Three-quarters of all gladiators were slaves and thus had no say in the matter.)
Flesh-crawling as it sounds, in Roman times a few free men actually infibulated by choice, to be hip and desirable. Comedy actors, dancers, and musicians did it, hoping to attract well-heeled sexual partners who would pay to play by unchaining them temporarily.
Members of religious sects, including the early Christian church and ascetics of various persuasions, also used infibulation to control their earthly desires.
From Greco-Roman times forward, the practice of infibulation has had staying power. Some statuary and art from the Renaissance, for example, depicts piercing of the male genitalia, often with oversize metal rings.
In the eighteenth century, population control advocates like Malthus and his followers lobbied for compulsory infibulation for anyone over fourteen years of age who was deemed unfit to procreate. His list included criminals, those with chronic diseases, beggars, unmarried servants (!!), apprentices, and rank-and-file soldiers.
During the Victorian era, prudish Western societies went hysterical over masturbation, again warming to the idea of locking up the sexual organs in a variety of ways. .... ""Infibulation: Genital lockups, male & female" erenow.net Wikipedia on male infibulation: " ... Infibulation also referred to placing a clasp through the male foreskin. In ancient Greece, male athletes, singers and other public performers used a clasp or string to close the foreskin and draw the penis over to one side, a practice known as kynodesm (literally "dog tie"). Many kynodesm are depicted on vases, almost exclusively confined to symposiasts and komasts, who are as a general rule older (or at least mature) men. In Rome a fibula was often a type of ring used similarly to a kynodesme.
Kynodesm was seen as a sign of restraint and abstinence, but was also related to concerns of modesty; in artistic representations, it was regarded as obscene and offensive to show a long penis and the glans penis in particular. Tying up the penis with a string was a way of avoiding what was seen as the shameful and dishonorable spectacle of an exposed glans penis, something associated with those without repute, such as slaves and barbarians. It therefore conveyed the moral worth and modesty of the subject. ... " - My intuition is infibulation was not for slaves only in the Greco-Roman world. In ancient Greece it was practiced by aristocrats and probably in Rome too. My guess is male infibulation was the mirror of the vestal virgins. There was probably a male priesthood that practiced strict abstinence for the 30 years that was required for the vestals. - The lyric poet Anacreon (570-485 B.C.)

Hekler, Bildnisse berühmter Griechen, 18 and 52) the lyric poet Anacreon (570-485 B.C.) has been identified as the statue’s subject. The elderly man, standing naked, is covered only around his shoulders by a light mantle, a claina. He sings and plays a lyre, no longer extant. There are traces of a poet’s ribbon, a taenia, running through the hair. The penis is infibulated.
It was not only in the fashioning of the hair and the beard that the running drill was put to use.This tool was utilized as well in differentiating the left leg from the form of the statue’s support. As a copy, the statue dates from the 2nd cent. A.D., the late Hadrianic period, a fact especially indicated by the special form of the statue’s support (see F. Muthmann, Statuenstützen und dekoratives Beiwerke an griechischen und römischen Bildwerke, 1951, 37-467). The present work is a Roman copy of a statue, supposedly created by Phidias, which was placed on the Acropolis in Athens around the year 440 B.C. According to Pausanias (1, 25, 1), this statue was positioned next to the statue of Pericles’ father, Xanthippus. ... " ancientrome.ru Also according to "The Mask of Socrates: The Image of the Intellectual in Antiquity" by Paul Zanker (1996) " ... The way the mantle is draped actually emphasizes the poet's nudity and calls attention to a striking detail that has barely been noticed before: he has tied up the penis and foreskin with a string, a practice known as infibulation (or, in Greek, kynodesme ) . The explanations for this practice in ancient authors—as a protective measure for athletes or a token of sexual abstinence in a professional singer ... —all come from relatively late sources and are not satisfactory in the present instance. But many examples of kynodesme in contemporary vase painting suggest another explanation. Here it is almost exclusively symposiasts and komasts who have their phallus bound up in the same manner as Anacreon, and as a rule they are older men, or at least mature and bearded. Satyrs are also so depicted, evidently for comic effect.To expose a long penis, and especially the head, was regarded as shameless and dishonorable, something we see only in depictions of slaves and barbarians. ... " "The Mask of Socrates: The Image of the Intellectual in Antiquity" by Paul Zanker (1996) If we look at the modern day practice in BDSM culture the practice is said to improve marriages by making the husband more attentive to his wife or the "keyholder". It also heightens the sexual energy of both partners. There's a deeply important idea here - the flow of energy and where it goes. ...In modern day corporate culture the "keyholder" is business, not the wife and family . That's probably the direct cause of the ED "Erectile Dysfunction " epidemic in the west ... But that's a taboo subject as is quickly revealed when you try to research this subject on the Internet ...

" ... Medical procedures designed to prevent the eversion and retraction of the foreskin, such as binding it shut or perforating it and holding it closed with a metal clasp, have been in use since antiquity, and have been carried out until the modern era for various reasons. However, the term ‘male infibulation’ is commonly used with an imprecision that has obscured its precise historical meaning. Infibulation refers specifically to the process of piercing the lips of the foreskin to fit it with a metal clasp or ring. The devices used for this varied from a silver, gold or bronze ring (later referred to as circellus or annulus), to a metal clasp (referred to as a fibula), and even to safety-pins. The simple binding of the foreskin to keep it securely closed was accomplished with a simple leather lace, called in Greek a kynodesme. Whether secured by a simple lace or by a metal clasp, the object of these procedures was the same; the temporary narrowing or closing of the foreskin to keep it securely over the glans penis. Closure of the introitus vaginae as part of ‘female circumcision’ procedures is also called infibulation. This procedure is still practised in some African and Muslim cultures today, but is not the focus of this article.
THE ROMAN METHOD: INFIBULATION
The first written report on this method of infibulation was provided by the Roman writer Aulus Cornelius Celsus (25 BCE to 50 AD). Celsus gives the following detailed description of the surgical procedure:
The foreskin covering the glans is stretched forwards and the point for perforation marked on each side with ink. Then the foreskin is let go. If the marks are drawn back over the glans too much has been included, and the marks should be placed further forward. If the glans is clear of them, their position is suitable for the pinning. Then the foreskin is transfixed at the marks by a threaded needle, and the ends of this thread are knotted together. Each day the tread is moved until the edges of the perforations have cicatrized. When this is assured the thread is withdrawn and a fibula inserted, and the lighter this is the better. But this operation is more often superfluous than necessary. .
Celsus provides no information on the objective behind infibulation, except to state obliquely and disapprovingly that it was mainly performed on youths, sometimes on account of the voice and sometimes for the sake of health. This possibly refers to an earlier idea, reported by Aristotle (384–322 BCE):
This development [of the voice at age 14]is greater in those who attempt sexual intercourse; for in those who indulge vigorously the voice even changes to that of a man, while in those who abstain the opposite is the case; and if they help to check it through exercises, as some do who are engaged in the choruses, the voice remains the same for a long time and the change that it undergoes is altogether slight..
A more detailed understanding of male infibulation can be found in the works of other ancient writers. For example, the Roman poet Martial (38–100 AD) often referred to infibulation in his epigrams. In one epigram, he implies that comedy actors and singers who played the cithara wore a fibula, apparently to enhance their sexual attractiveness and thereby to increase their income. This is corroborated in the satires of the poet Juvenal (58–140 AD). In a satire devoted to the subject of Roman wives, he charges that: ‘Some pay a lot to undo the pin of a comic actor. In another epigram, Martial describes a young athlete whose ‘swollen penis has been unpinned by the smith’and is now ready for sexual intercourse. As some fibulae were apparently more easily removed than others, it is likely that, at least among hired singers, preputial fibulae were worn more as an eye-catching genital adornment and as part of the standard costume of the cithara player, rather than a medical device. As such, the fibula would have raised the stakes in subsequent bargaining for supplementary sexual services. . ... The Greek medical writer Oribasius (325–403 AD) also gave a detailed description of male infibulation, which he calls krikôsis. Oribasius implied that this procedure was still common in his day. One variation between his technique and that of Celsus is that the perforations made in the foreskin are widened with palm fibres before a tin stud is inserted to aid in cicatrix formation . Unfortunately, the manuscript is incomplete and no description of the fibula or the rationale for the operation have survived. ...

A famous brothel sexual position was female on top - or Horse -riding" : " ... Mulier equitans
"Riding" is a common metaphor for the sex act, particularly used of the woman-on-top position. The mulier equitans ("woman riding") does not appear in Greek vase painting but is popular in Roman art. Ovid recommends it for the petite woman, as a tall woman may not wish to seem too towering in relation to the man. Supposedly favored by the mythological couple Hector and Andromache, even though she was of legendary height, it was jokingly called "the Hector horse". One relief from Roman Gaul showing the mulier equitans plays on the metaphor by picturing a galloping horse within a frame in the background .
In art, the mulier equitans convention has the woman posed frontally to expose her body in full to the viewer, often emphasizing her depilated pubic area. The significance of this position in Roman culture has been interpreted variously. Kenneth Dover thought it might represent the relative sexual emancipation of Roman women. From a woman's perspective, the position would grant an independence of movement for her own pleasure. Paul Veyne, however, thought it emphasized that the woman had to do the work of servicing the man, who lies there and receives pleasure without effort. The position may have been favored for art because it pleased both male and female viewers: for men, it offered an unobstructed view of the woman's body, as recommended by Ovid, and of the penis entering the vagina; women saw the visually dominant female figure playing the active role. ...

The Sleeping Hermaphroditus is an ancient marble sculpture depicting Hermaphroditus life size. In 1620, Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini sculpted the mattress upon which the statue now lies. The form is partly derived from ancient portrayals of Venus and other female nudes, and partly from contemporaneous feminised Hellenistic portrayals of Dionysus/Bacchus. It represents a subject that was much repeated in Hellenistic times and in ancient Rome, to judge from the number of versions that have survived. Discovered at Santa Maria della Vittoria, Rome, the Sleeping Hermaphroditus was immediately claimed by Cardinal Scipione Borghese and became part of the Borghese Collection. The "Borghese Hermaphroditus" was later sold to the occupying French and was moved to The Louvre, where it is on display.

ex: Mulier equitans & other Spintria Brothels were a service offered to roman women not men - a caged penis has no use for a brothel - Going by the bird model Rome was probably Polyandrous at the elite level. ie women were expected to take lovers in addition to their husbands. And as the "dog-leash-holders" they controlled property and wealth and were probably expected to have children by as many men as they wanted to. The typical bird alpha female has 3 mates - this was probably normal for the roman elites: " ...It is difficult to get a clear understanding as to how licentious things might have become in terms of wife swapping and lending out one’s own wife. There’s one anecdote which has the Christians being laughed at for sharing all their belongings and the Christians laughing back for sharing everything except their wives. Tertullian (Apology chpt. 39) writes a fairly explicit account of the practice and singles out Socrates and Cato as freely lending out their wives to their friends.
There was however a law which demanded a penalty of husbands who hired out their wives for money so we can guess that wife swapping fell short of actual prostitution.
Strabo gives the following account: “…that it is counted lawful among them (the Tapyrians) to give away their wives to other men after they have had two or three children by them: As Cato in our time, upon the request of Hortensius, gave him his wife Marcia, according to the old custom of the Romans“. ...""Marriage in Ancient Rome" Maria Melani That's Polyandry!

... I take the opportunity to repeat an earlier quote from Horace who lived around the year 0 as the Roman Republic became an Empire, comments (book 3, ode VI) and makes satire of the manners of the age.
“A marriageable virgin rejoices to be taught Ionic Dances…and meditates from her very infancy on unchaste amours. Soon after marriage, she seeks after younger men…” ...
Messalina, wife of Emperor Claudius is equally well remembered for her amorous affairs. According to Juvenal (Satires) she would wear a cloak and blond wig in order leave the palace as soon as her husband was asleep and make haste to a house of disrepute in the most infamous area of Rome called the Suburra ...." Marriage in Ancient Rome" Maria Melani Also see wikipedia: " ... Two accounts especially have supplemented the gossip recorded by historians and added to Messalina's notoriety. One is the story of her all-night sex competition with a prostitute in Book X of Pliny the Elder's Natural History, according to which the competition lasted for 24 hours and Messalina won with a score of 25 partners.
The poet Juvenal mentions Messalina twice in his satires. One story told there is that she compelled Gaius Silius to divorce his wife and marry her. In his sixth satire appears the notorious description of how the Empress used to work clandestinely all night in a brothel under the name of the She-Wolf. ... " Wikipedia Roman men were "belted and bound" to their wives - There probably a reference to the dog leash that all Roman men wore: " ... Roman couple joining hands; the bride's belt may show the knot symbolizing that the husband was "belted and bound" to her, which he was to untie in their bed (4th century sarcophagus)" That dog leash - the kynodesme was the reason Roman wives were so amorous As far as marriage the husband had authority over his children , but not his wife - she came into the marriage with a dowry and could walk out of the marriage with the dowry at any time. The unspoken truth is the dog-tie meant the Roman husband was under the authority of his wife: " ...Under early Roman law, the oldest living male was the head of a family, or pater familias, and had absolute authority (patria potestas) over his children and, to a lesser extent, his wife. His household was thus understood to be under his manus (literally, "hand").He had the right and duty to seek a good and useful match for his children, and might arrange a child's betrothal long before he or she came of age. To further the interests of their birth families, sons of the elite should follow their fathers into public life and daughters should marry into respectable families. If a daughter could prove the proposed husband to be of bad character, she could legitimately refuse the match.
The age of lawful consent to a marriage was 12 for girls and 14 for boys. Most Roman women seem to have married in their late teens to early twenties, but noble women married younger than those of the lower classes, and an aristocratic girl was expected to be virgin until her first marriage.
Roman mores idealised a married daughter's relationship to her father as deferential and obedient, even at her husband's expense. "Deference" was not always absolute. After arranging his daughter's first two marriages, Cicero Marcus disapproved — rightly, as it turned out — of her choice to marry Dolabella, but found himself unable to prevent it. A daughter kept her own birth-family name (nomen) for life; and although children usually took the father's name, some might take their mother's family name as part of theirs. In the early Empire, the legal standing of daughters differed little, if at all, from that of sons; either could inherit a share of the family estate if their father died intestate. ... "Wikipedia - - Roman Hermaphrodite 35 Marble from Temple of Apollo, Pompeii. Nat. Archaeological Museum, Naples. Snapshots of the careers wives and mothers of roman emperors reveal "women with a penis;" - that was probably a coded reference of the popular Hermaphroditus For example Livia Drusilla the wife of Augustus who moved on from her marriage to her cousin and caused an already married Octavian to leave his wife and marry her. The throne passed to her and her son by a previous marriage on the death of Augustus: " ... Livia Drusilla ... was the wife of the Roman emperor Augustus throughout his reign, as well as his adviser. She was the mother of the emperor Tiberius, paternal grandmother of the emperor Claudius, paternal great-grandmother of the emperor Caligula, and maternal great-great-grandmother of the emperor Nero. She was deified by Claudius who acknowledged her title of Augusta.
She was born on 30 January 59 or 58 BC as the daughter of Marcus Livius Drusus Claudianus by his wife Aufidia, a daughter of the magistrate Marcus Aufidius Lurco
She was married around 43 BC. Her father married her to Tiberius Claudius Nero, her cousin of patrician status ...
After peace was established between the Triumvirate and the followers of Sextus Pompeius, a general amnesty was announced, and Livia returned to Rome, where she was personally introduced to Octavian in 39 BC. At this time, Livia already had a son, the future emperor Tiberius, and was pregnant with the second, Nero Claudius Drusus .... Legend said that Octavian fell immediately in love with her, despite the fact that he was still married to Scribonia. Octavian divorced Scribonia in 39 BC, on the very day that she gave birth to his daughter Julia the Elder. Seemingly around that time, when Livia was six months pregnant, Tiberius Claudius Nero was persuaded or forced by Octavian to divorce Livia. On 14 January, the child was born. Augustus and Livia married on 17 January, waiving the traditional waiting period. Tiberius Claudius Nero was present at the wedding, giving her in marriage "just as a father would." ... Livia and Augustus remained married for the next 51 years, despite the fact that they had no children apart from a single miscarriage. She always enjoyed the status of privileged counselor to her husband, petitioning him on the behalf of others and influencing his policies, an unusual role for a Roman wife in a culture dominated by the pater familias.
... Livia would set the pattern for the noble Roman matrona. ... In 35 BC Octavian gave Livia the unprecedented honour of ruling her own finances and dedicated a public statue to her. She had her own circle of clients and pushed many protégés into political offices, including the grandfathers of the later emperors Galba and Otho.
With Augustus being the father of only one daughter (Julia by Scribonia), Livia revealed herself to be an ambitious mother and soon started to push her own sons Tiberius and Drusus into power.
... Augustus died on August 19, 14 AD, being deified by the Senate shortly afterwards. In his will, he left one third of his property to Livia, and the other two thirds to Tiberius. In the will, he also adopted her into the Julian family and granted her the honorific title of Augusta. These dispositions permitted Livia to maintain her status and power after her husband's death, under the new name of Julia Augusta. ...
For some time, Livia and her son Tiberius, the new Emperor, appeared to get along with each other. Speaking against her became treason in AD 20, and in AD 24 he granted his mother a theater seat among the Vestal Virgins. Livia exercised unofficial but very real power in Rome. Eventually, Tiberius became resentful of his mother's political status, particularly against the idea that it was she who had given him the throne. At the beginning of his reign Tiberius vetoed the unprecedented title Mater Patriae ("Mother of the Fatherland") that the Senate wished to bestow upon her, in the same manner in which Augustus had been named Pater Patriae ("Father of the Fatherland") ...
The historians Tacitus and Cassius Dio depict an overweening, even domineering dowager, ready to interfere in Tiberius’ decisions, the most notable instances being the case of Urgulania (grandmother of Claudius's first wife Plautia Urgulanilla), a woman who correctly assumed that her friendship with the empress placed her above the law .... A notice from AD 22 records that Julia Augusta (Livia) dedicated a statue to Augustus in the center of Rome, placing her own name even before that of Tiberius.
Ancient historians give as a reason for Tiberius' retirement to Capri his inability to endure his mother any longer. Until AD 22 there had, according to Tacitus, been "a genuine harmony between mother and son, or a hatred well concealed;" Dio tells us that at the time of his accession already Tiberius heartily loathed her. In AD 22 she had fallen ill, and Tiberius had hastened back to Rome in order to be with her. But in AD 29 when she finally fell ill and died, he remained on Capri, pleading pressure of work and sending Caligula to deliver the funeral oration. ...
It was not until 13 years later, in AD 42 during the reign of her grandson Claudius, that all her honors were restored and her deification finally completed. She was named Diva Augusta (The Divine Augusta), and an elephant-drawn chariot conveyed her image to all public games. A statue of her was set up in the Temple of Augustus along with her husband's, races were held in her honor, and women were to invoke her name in their sacred oaths. In AD 410, during the Sack of Rome, her ashes were scattered when Augustus' tomb was sacked. ... " Wikipedia
- Livia married as she wanted to; - shared power with Augustus during his lifetime; and passed on the crown to her son by a previous marriage ... that was just the roman way. Husbands deferred to their "dog-leash-holder" and unmarried sons were also probably leashed to their mothers until married off to a another "dog-leash-holder..." In BDSM femdom/male chastity, a basic principal is financial domination - this usually means the finances are controlled by the domme or "keyholder" with the male given an allowance - that was probably the roman way too. The fact pattern from wikipedia says Livia had financial independence - the reality was probably absolute control of the property and finances of Caesar Augustus ... And control of the finances of her son the nominal emperor Tiberius as well. ... Tiberius was married off to Octavian's daughter - Julia - and she maintained the Roman pattern of amorous wives taking many lovers after marriage: " ... Octavian divorced Julia's mother the day of her birth and took Julia from her soon thereafter. Octavian, in accordance with Roman custom, claimed complete parental control over her. She was sent to live with her stepmother Livia when she was old enough and learn how to be an aristocrat. ...
Julia's social life was severely controlled, and she was allowed to talk only to people whom her father had vetted. However, Octavian had a great affection for his daughter and made sure she had the best teachers available. Macrobius preserves a remark of Augustus: "There are two wayward daughters that I have to put up with: the Roman commonwealth and Julia."
....Among contemporary writers Julia is almost universally remembered for her flagrant and promiscuous conduct. Thus Marcus Velleius Paterculus (2.100) describes her as "tainted by luxury or lust", listing among her lovers Iullus Antonius, Quintius Crispinus, Appius Claudius, Sempronius Gracchus, and Cornelius Scipio. Seneca the Younger refers to "adulterers admitted in droves";Pliny the Elder calls her an “exemplum licentiae” (NH 21.9). Dio Cassius mentions "revels and drinking parties by night in the Forum and even upon the Rostra" (Roman History 55.10). Seneca (De Beneficiis 6.32) tells us that the Rostra was the place where "her father had proposed a law against adultery", and yet now she had chosen the place for her "debaucheries". ..." Wikipedia

Rome, Basilica di San Lorenzo fuori le Mura - - Roman Hermaphrodite 41 Satyr and Hermaphrodite There was a female-only roman religion that worshiped a female version of the god Faunus Faunus was a pan-like god of hyper-sexuality - he is often depicted in roman art as trying to have sex with a hermaphrodite:: " ... In ancient Roman religion and myth, Faunus was the horned god of the forest, plains and fields ... He came to be equated in literature with the Greek god Pan.
Faunus was one of the oldest Roman deities, known as the di indigetes. According to the epic poet Virgil, he was a legendary king of the Latins. His shade was consulted as a goddess of prophecy under the name of Fatuus, with oracles in the sacred grove of Tibur, around the well Albunea, and on the Aventine Hill in ancient Rome itself.
Marcus Terentius Varro asserted that the oracular responses were given in Saturnian verse. Faunus revealed the future in dreams and voices that were communicated to those who came to sleep in his precincts, lying on the fleeces of sacrificed lambs. ... " According to Wikipedia: " ...Bona Dea (Latin: 'Good Goddess') was a goddess in ancient Roman religion. She was associated with chastity and fertility in Roman women, healing, and the protection of the state and people of Rome. According to Roman literary sources, she was brought from Magna Graecia at some time during the early or middle Republic, and was given her own state cult on the Aventine Hill.
Her rites allowed women the use of strong wine and blood-sacrifice, things otherwise forbidden them by Roman tradition. Men were barred from her mysteries and the possession of her true name. Given that male authors had limited knowledge of her rites and attributes, ancient speculations about her identity abound, among them that she was an aspect of Terra, Ops, Cybele, or Ceres, or a Latin form of the Greek goddess "Damia" (Demeter). Most often, she was identified as the wife, sister, or daughter of the god Faunus, thus an equivalent or aspect of the nature-goddess Fauna, who could prophesy the fates of women.
The goddess had two annual festivals. One was held at her Aventine temple; the other was hosted by the wife of Rome's senior Annual Magistrate for an invited group of elite matrons and female attendants. The latter festival came to scandalous prominence in 62 BC, when the politician Publius Clodius Pulcher was tried for his intrusion on the rites, allegedly bent on the seduction of Julius Caesar's wife, whom Caesar later divorced because "Caesar's wife must be above suspicion". The rites remained a subject of male curiosity and speculation, both religious and prurient.
Bona Dea's cults in the city of Rome were led by the Vestal Virgins, and her provincial cults by virgin or matron priestesses. Surviving statuary shows her as a sedate Roman matron with a cornucopia and a snake. Personal dedications to her are attested among all classes, especially plebeians, freedmen and women, and slaves. Approximately one third of her dedications are from men, some of whom may have been lawfully involved in her cult. ... Festival rites
The house was ritually cleansed of all male persons and presences, even male animals and male portraiture. Then the magistrate's wife and her assistants made bowers of vine-leaves, and decorated the house's banqueting hall with "all manner of growing and blooming plants" except for myrtle, whose presence and naming were expressly forbidden. A banquet table was prepared, with a couch (pulvinar) for the goddess and the image of a snake. The Vestals brought Bona Dea's cult image from her temple and laid it upon her couch, as an honoured guest. The goddess' meal was prepared: the entrails (exta) of a sow, sacrificed to her on behalf of the Roman people (pro populo Romano), and a libation of sacrificial wine. The festival continued through the night, a women-only banquet with female musicians, fun and games (ludere), and wine; the last was euphemistically referred to as "milk", and its container as a "honey jar". The rites sanctified the temporary removal of customary constraints imposed on Roman women of all classes by Roman tradition, and underlined the pure and lawful sexual potency of virgins and matrons in a context that excluded any reference to male persons or creatures, male lust or seduction,. According to Cicero, any man who caught even a glimpse of the rites could be punished by blinding. Later Roman writers assume that apart from their different dates and locations, Bona Dea's December and May 1 festivals were essentially the same. ... "

"Wikipedia " ... Marcus Aurelius married Faustina the Younger in AD 145, due to the wishes of Antoninus Pius.
Faustina was reported to have been overcome with passion for a certain gladiator, and that her son Commodus was the product of this union and not her marriage with the emperor. At any rate, the empress was well-known for her passions, particularly for low-life sailors and gladiators. Marcus Aurelius never divorced her, however, out of respect for the wishes of his father. He considered that the empire was the dowry for which he married Faustina, and even promoted several of her known lovers. ... " finds.org Faustina was given the title of Augusta on 1 December 147 after the birth of her first child, Domitia Faustina. The facts are confused. Marcus Aurelius was never really emperor - he was always sharing power with other men.

Augusta was a Roman imperial honorific title given to empresses and honoured women of the imperial families. It was the feminine form of Augustus. In the third century, Augustae could also receive the titles of Mater Castrorum ("Mother of the Camp") and Mater Patriae ("Mother of the Fatherland").
The title implied the greatest prestige. Augustae could issue their own coinage, wear imperial regalia, and rule their own courts.
In the third century, Julia Domna was the first empress to receive the title combination "Pia Felix Augusta" after the death of her husband Septimius Severus, which may have implied greater powers being vested in her than what was usual for a Roman empress mother. ...

As empress, Domna was famous for her political, social, and philosophical influence. She received titles such as "Mother of the Invincible Camps". After the elder of her sons, Caracalla, started ruling with his father, she was briefly co-empress with Caracalla's wife, Fulvia Plautilla, until the latter fell into disgrace. Following the death of Severus in 211, Domna became the first empress dowager to receive the title combination "Pia Felix Augusta", which may have implied greater powers being vested in her than what was usual for a Roman empress mother. Her sons succeeded to the throne. ...
After the death of Domna, her older sister Julia Maesa successfully contended for political power. The Severan dynasty was restored to power with the accession of Maesa's grandson, Elagabalus, in 218. The dynasty maintained power until 235 when the reign of Severus Alexander, the cousin and successor of Elagabalus, ended. This marked the start of the Crisis of the Third Century. ... Unlike most imperial wives, Domna remarkably accompanied her husband on his military campaigns and stayed in camp with the army. As worded by Barbara Levick, Domna "was to exceed all other empresses in the number and variety of her official titles."Honorary titles were granted to Domna similar to those given to Faustina the Younger, including "Mother of the Invincible Camps",and Mater Augustus (Mother of Augustus). She was respected and viewed positively for most of her tenure, as indicators and evidence include the coins minted with her portrait, mentioning her with the titles and also simply as "Julia Augusta". The title Pia Felix Augusta which she received after Severus' death was "perhaps a way of implying that Domna had absorbed and was continuing her husband's attributes" after his death.
Several medallions for Domna were issued by Severus as early as 207, on the reverses of which is "Vesta Mater" (Mother Vesta), which, according to Molly M. Lindner, "could refer to an invocation to Vesta during prayers and supplications that the Vestal Virgins made whenever they prayed publicly". According to Lindner,
While some scholars have proposed that Julia Domna's medallions commemorate the restoration of the Temple of Vesta by the empress, Melanie Grunow Sobocinski pointed out that [the temple] burned down in 191, whereas Julia Domna's use of Vestal iconography does not occur until 207. Either the reconstruction of [the temple] took more than fifteen years, or Julia Domna had a different motivation, perhaps one connected to her role as the mother of Septimius Severus' heirs, as the legend on the reverses suggests. ... " Wikipedia - - Roman Hermaphrodite 90 " ...Julia Maesa (7 May before 160 AD – c. 224 AD) was a member of the Severan dynasty of the Roman Empire who was the major power behind the throne in the reigns of her grandsons, Elagabalus and Severus Alexander, as Augusta of the Empire from 218 to her death.Born in Emesa, Syria (modern day Homs), Maesa was the daughter of the high priest of Emesa's Temple of the Sun, and the elder sister of Roman empress Julia Domna.
The Severan dynasty was dominated by powerful women, one of which was Maesa. Politically able and ruthless, she contended for political power after her sister's suicide.She is best known for her plotting and scheming which resulted in the restoration of the Severan dynasty to the Roman throne after the assassination of Caracalla and the usurpation of the throne by Macrinus. Afterwards she held power until she died in Rome. She was later deified in Syria along with her sister. The Severan dynasty ended in 235. ... " Wikipedia These 2 Roman empresses show that female power was still dominant as late a 235 AD in the Roman empire. I was surprised to read that women were so equal they even shared public baths naked with men in the late empire: " ... Wealthy women traveled around the city in a litter carried by slaves. Women gathered in the streets on a daily basis to meet with friends, attend religious rites at temples, or to visit the baths. The wealthiest families had private baths at home, but most people went to bath houses not only to wash but to socialize, as the larger facilities offered a range of services and recreational activities, among which casual sex was not excluded. One of the most vexed questions of Roman social life is whether the sexes bathed together in public. Until the late Republic, evidence suggests that women usually bathed in a separate wing or facility, or that women and men were scheduled at different times. But there is also clear evidence of mixed bathing from the late Republic until the rise of Christian dominance in the later Empire. Some scholars have thought that only lower-class women bathed with men, or those of dubious moral standing such as entertainers or prostitutes, but Clement of Alexandria observed that women of the highest social classes could be seen naked at the baths. Hadrian prohibited mixed bathing, but the ban seems not to have endured. Most likely, customs varied not only by time and place, but by facility, so that women could choose to segregate themselves by gender or not ...

According to the Met: "This figure is one of a group of seven mother goddesses that sprang from an associated Hindu male god. Despite their alluring beauty, these matrikas represent dangerous and malevolent forces—the devourers of children and bearers of sickness and disease. Although they were integral to early temple iconographic schema, as seen at sixth-century Aihole, their power was so threatening that they were soon marginalized, consigned to dedicated shrines beyond city boundaries. The combined power of the matrikas is understood to be embodied in the mother goddess par excellence, Durga"
I disagree with this analysis! The female with a penis is an anima figure - Fanged? Yes. Serpentine? Yes. Hyper-sexual? Yes - But that's it - the rest is up to the ego " ... Matrikas also called Matar or Matri, are a group of mother goddesses who are always depicted together in Hinduism. Matrikas are the different forms Adi Parashakti. Matrikas are the personified powers of different Devas. Brahmani emerged from Brahma, Vaishnavi from Vishnu, Maheshvari from Shiva, Indrani from Indra, Kaumari from Skanda, Varahi from Varaha and Chamunda from Devi, and additionals are Narasimhi, Vinayaki.
The Matrikas are usually depicted in a group of seven called Saptamatrika(s) (Seven Mothers).However, they may be eight Matrikas called Ashtamatrika(s). In South India, Saptamatrika worship is prevalent whereas the Ashtamatrika are venerated in Nepal.
The Matrikas assume paramount significance in the goddess-oriented sect of Hinduism, Tantrism. In Shaktism, they are described as "assisting the great Shakta Devi (goddess) in her fight with demons." Some scholars consider them Shaiva goddesses.They are also connected with the worship of warrior god Skanda. In most early references, the Matrikas are described as having inauspicious qualities and often described as dangerous.The Matrikas are fearsome goddesses, abductors and eaters of children; that is, they were emblematic of childhood pestilence, fever, starvation, and disease. They were propitiated in order to avoid those ills, that carried off so many children before they reached adulthood.They come to play a protective role in later mythology, although some of their inauspicious and wild characteristics still persist in these accounts. Thus, they represent the prodigiously fecund aspect of nature as well as its destructive force aspect.
In the Brihat-Samhita, Varahamihira says that "Mothers are to be made with cognizance of (different major Hindu) gods corresponding to their names."They are associated with these gods as their spouses or their energies (Shaktis).Originally believed to be a personification of the seven stars of the star cluster the Pleiades, they became quite popular by the seventh century and a standard feature of goddess temples from the ninth century onwards. ...

She was the daughter of Matidia (niece of Roman Emperor Trajan) and suffect consul Lucius Vibius Sabinus.
After her father's death in 84, Sabina, along with her half-sister Matidia Minor, went to live with their mother's mother, Marciana. They were raised in the household of Trajan and his wife Plotina.
Sabina married Hadrian in 100, at the empress Plotina's request. Hadrian succeeded her great uncle in 117. Sabina's mother Matidia (Hadrian's second cousin) was also fond of Hadrian and allowed him to marry her daughter.
Sabina accumulated more public honors in Rome and the provinces than any imperial woman had enjoyed since the first empress, Augustus’ wife Livia. Indeed, Sabina is the first woman whose image features on a regular and continuous series of coins minted at Rome. She was the most traveled and visible empress to date. In 128, she was awarded the title of Augusta. ... " Wikipedia - -Roman Hermaphrodite 97 " ... Pompeia Plotina Claudia Phoebe Piso, or simply Pompeia Plotina (died 121/122 AD) was a Roman Empress and wife of Roman Emperor Trajan. She was renowned for her interest in philosophy, and her virtue, dignity and simplicity. She was particularly devoted to the Epicurean philosophical school in Athens, Greece. She is often viewed as having provided Romans with fairer taxation, improved education, assisted the poor, and created tolerance in Roman society.
Plotina was born and was raised in Tejada la Vieja (Escacena del Campo) in the province of Hispania, possibly during the reign of Roman Emperor Nero (r. 54–68). However, she could have been born in the 70s CE. She was the daughter of Lucius Pompeius and Plotia, who had extensive political and familial connections. Trajan married her before his accession and, although a happy marriage, they had no known children.
Upon entering the imperial palace following Trajan's ascension, Plotina is said to have turned to those watching her and carefully announced, "I enter here the kind of woman I would like to be when I depart." It was through acts like this she sought to dispel the bad taste of domestic strife that had characterized the reign of Domitian as well as the Julio-Claudian dynasty, where she acted like a traditional Roman matron, and was associated with chaste goddesses like Vesta, the guardian of Rome's sacred fire, and Minerva, goddess of war and wisdom.In 100, Trajan awarded her with title of Augusta, but she did not accept the title until 105. Plotina did not appear also on the coinage until 112. ...
When a letter Trajan was said to have composed on his deathbed appeared in Rome with Plotina's signature on it, in which he adopted Hadrian and naming him successor to the Empire, suspicions were raised. It was rumoured that Attianus and the Empress Plotina had been lovers, both were very fond of Hadrian their ward, both were present at Trajan’s deathbed at Selinus in Cilicia in August 117, and that the two had helped secure Hadrian's succession by forging Trajan’s will.
Annelise Freisenbruch dismisses this accusation: "Plotina, the silent spouse of the second century, thus joined Livia, Agrippina Minor, and Domitia in the gallery of Roman imperial women accused of covering up or conspiring in their husband's deaths." Freisenbruch notes that there are many plausible explanations why Plotina's signature might legitimately be on this declaration: Trajan may have simply been too weak to sign the letter himself. Freisenbruch also notes these kinds of accusations have dogged the spouses of rulers through the centuries. ...
It was while a widow that Plotina's best documented action took place. During the year 121, while the emperor Hadrian was inspecting the provinces, Plotina and he engaged in a series of letters discussing who should be the new head of the Epicurean school of philosophy in Athens. She petitioned for a change in the law, which would allow Popillius Theotimus, the acting head of the school, to become the actual head; in response, Hadrian agreed with her argument, and the relevant letters were preserved in a series of inscriptions. Freisenbruch notes, "In stark contrast to her passive anonymity in the literary record, this inscription from Athens recasts Plotina as a highly educated woman, active on behalf of causes close to her heart and with the kind of access to the emperor once enjoyed by Livia."
When Plotina died of illness, she was deified. Hadrian built a temple in her honor at Nîmes, in Provence. ... " Wikipedia - -Roman Hermaphrodite 98 Statues of Claudius and Agrippina, Aphrodisias Museum - That's the classic Roman "bound and belted" marriage. A naked Emperor Claudius is being "dog-leashed " by his niece Agrippa the new Augusta. " ... Agrippina the Younger (Latin: Julia Agrippina; 6 November AD 15 – 23 March AD 59), also referred to as Agrippina Minor ... was a Roman empress and one of the more prominent women in the Julio-Claudian dynasty. Her father was Germanicus, a popular general and one-time heir apparent to the Roman Empire under Tiberius; and her mother was Agrippina the Elder, a granddaughter of the first Roman emperor Augustus. She was also the younger sister of Caligula, as well as the niece and fourth wife of Claudius.
Both ancient and modern sources describe Agrippina's personality as ruthless, ambitious, violent, and domineering. ... She briefly served as the de facto ruler of Rome during the reign of her son, emperor Nero. In AD 59 Agrippina was executed on the orders of Nero.
... On the day that Agrippina married her uncle Claudius as her third husband/his fourth wife, she became an Empress and the most powerful woman in the Roman Empire. ...
... In 50, Agrippina was granted the honorific title of Augusta. She was only the third Roman woman (Livia Drusilla and Antonia Minor received this title) and only the second living Roman woman (the first being Antonia) to receive this title. ...
Ancient sources claim that Agrippina successfully influenced Claudius into adopting her son and making him his successor. Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus was adopted by his great maternal uncle and stepfather in 50. Lucius' name was changed to Nero Claudius Caesar Drusus Germanicus and he became Claudius's adopted son, heir and recognised successor. Agrippina and Claudius betrothed Nero to Octavia, and Agrippina arranged to have Seneca the Younger return from exile to tutor the future emperor. Claudius chose to adopt Nero because of his Julian and Claudian lineage. ...
Nero and Octavia were married on June 9, 53. Claudius later repented of marrying Agrippina and adopting Nero, began to favor Britannicus, and started preparing him for the throne. His actions allegedly gave Agrippina a motive to eliminate Claudius. The ancient sources say she poisoned Claudius on October 13, 54 (a Sunday) with a plate of deadly mushrooms at a banquet, thus enabling Nero to quickly take the throne as emperor. Accounts vary wildly with regard to this private incident and according to more modern sources, it is possible that Claudius died of natural causes; Claudius was 63 years old. ... " Wikipedia - -Roman Hermaphrodite 99 Relief sculpture of Nero being crowned emperor by Agrippina, Aphrodisias Museum, Aphrodisias, Turkey. - -Roman Hermaphrodite 100 " ... Valeria Messalina; c. 17/20–48 AD, sometimes spelled Messallina, was the third wife of the Roman emperor Claudius. She was a paternal cousin of Emperor Nero, a second cousin of Emperor Caligula, and a great-grandniece of Emperor Augustus. A powerful and influential woman with a reputation for promiscuity, she allegedly conspired against her husband and was executed on the discovery of the plot.
... Little is known about Messalina's life prior to her marriage in 38 to Claudius, her first cousin once removed, who was then about 47 years old. Two children were born as a result of their union: a daughter Claudia Octavia (born 39 or 40), a future empress, stepsister and first wife to the emperor Nero; and a son, Britannicus. When the Emperor Caligula was murdered in 41, the Praetorian Guard proclaimed Claudius the new emperor and Messalina became empress.
... After her accession to power, Messalina enters history with a reputation as ruthless, predatory and sexually insatiable, while Claudius is painted as easily led by her and unconscious of her many adulteries.
... In 48 AD, Claudius went to Ostia to visit the new harbor he was constructing and was informed while there that Messalina had gone so far as to marry her latest lover, Senator Gaius Silius in Rome. It was only when Messalina held a costly wedding banquet in Claudius' absence that the freedman Narcissus decided to inform him.The exact motivations for Messalina's actions are unknown—it has been interpreted as a move to overthrow Claudius and install Silius as Emperor, with Silius adopting Britannicus and thereby ensuring her son's future accession. Other historians have speculated that Silius convinced Messalina that Claudius' overthrow was inevitable, and her best hopes of survival lay in a union with him.Tacitus stated that Messalina hesitated even as Silius insisted on marriage, but ultimately conceded because "she coveted the name of wife", and because Silius had divorced his own wife the previous year in anticipation of a union with Messalina.Another theory is that Messalina and Silius merely took part in a sham marriage as part of a Bacchic ritual as they were in the midst of celebrating the Vinalia, a festival of the grape harvest.
Tacitus and Dio state that Narcissus convinced Claudius that it was a move to overthrow him and persuaded him to appoint the deputy Praetorian Prefect, Lusius Geta, to the charge of the Guard because the loyalty of the senior Prefect Rufrius Crispinus was in doubt. Claudius rushed back to Rome, where he was met by Messalina on the road with their children. The leading Vestal Virgin, Vibidia, came to entreat Claudius not to rush to condemn Messalina. He then visited the house of Silius, where he found a great many heirlooms of his Claudii and Drusii forebears, taken from his house and gifted to Silius by Messalina. When Messalina attempted to gain access to her husband in the palace, she was repulsed by Narcissus and shouted down with a list of her various offences compiled by the freedman. Despite the mounting evidence against her, Claudius's feelings were softening and he asked to see her in the morning for a private interview.Narcissus, pretending to act on Claudius' instructions, ordered an officer of the Praetorian Guard to execute her. When the troop of guards arrived at the Gardens of Lucullus, where Messalina had taken refuge with her mother, she was given the honorable option of taking her own life. Unable to muster the courage to slit her own throat, she was run through with a sword by one of the guards. Upon hearing the news, the Emperor did not react and simply asked for another chalice of wine. The Roman Senate then ordered a damnatio memoriae so that Messalina's name would be removed from all public and private places and all statues of her would be taken down. ... " Wikipedia - -Roman Hermaphrodite 101 The Empress Livia Drusilla (58 BC-29AD) as Ops, with wheat sheaf and cornucopia, 1st century. Wife of Augustus and first Augusta. Collection of Musée du Louvre, Paris. " ... In ancient Roman religion, Ops or Opis (Latin: "Plenty") was a fertility deity and earth goddess of Sabine origin.
...The Latin word ops means "riches, goods, abundance, gifts, munificence, plenty".The word is also related to opus, which means "work", particularly in the sense of "working the earth, ploughing, sowing". This activity was deemed sacred, and was often attended by religious rites intended to obtain the good will of chthonic deities such as Ops and Consus.
According to Roman tradition, the cult of Opis was instituted by Titus Tatius, one of the Sabine kings of Rome. Opis soon became the matron of riches, abundance, and prosperity. Opis had a famous temple in the Capitolium. Originally, a festival took place in Opis' honor on August 10. Additionally, on December 19 (some say December 9), the Opalia was celebrated. On August 25, the Opiconsivia was held. Opiconsivia was another name used for Opis, indicating when the earth was sown. These festivals also included activities that were called Consualia, in honor of Consus, her consort.
Opis, when syncretized with Greek mythology, was not only the wife of Saturn, she was his sister and the daughter of Caelus. Her children were Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto, Juno, Ceres, and Vesta. Opis also acquired queenly status and was reputed to be an eminent goddess. By public decree temples, priests, and sacrifices were accorded her.
When Saturn learned of a prophecy that stated his and Opis' children would end up overthrowing him as leader, he ate his children one by one after they were born. Opis, being the loving mother that she was, could not just stand by and let all of her children be eaten by her husband. So, instead of feeding Saturn their final child Jupiter, she wrapped a rock in swaddling clothes, and fed that to Saturn instead of Jupiter. Opis then went on to raise Jupiter, and then helped him free his siblings from their father's stomach. ... " Wikipedia - -Roman Hermaphrodite 102 Bust of the Empress Livia Drusilla (58 BC-29AD) .

This was the pattern of roman rule - the public, chaste "bound and belted" or infibulated emperor and the hidden phallic and promiscuous Augusta - the"mother of the invincible camp" " ... The Annals of Tacitus is a history of the Julio-Claudian dynasty beginning with the death of Augustus. In it, he portrays women as having a profound influence on politics. The women of the imperial family in particular are depicted by Tacitus as having a notable prominence in the public sphere as well as possessing a ferocity and ambition with which they pursue it. Tacitus presents them as living longer than the imperial men and thus being more wise as they advance in age. Among the most broad of his portrayals is that of Agrippina. He emphasizes their role in connecting genetically back to Augustus, a significant factor in the marriages of the emperors and princes of the dynasty. The Annals repeatedly has Agrippina competing for influence with Tacitus simply because she is related to Augustus biologically.
Tacitus presents Agrippina as being kindred to aristocratic males, and has her reversing gender roles, which showcases her assumption of male auctoritas ("authority") with metaphors of her dressing and undressing. In an example of Agrippina assuming auctoritas, he says:
But throughout those days, a femina, mighty of spirit, donned the apparel of a dux, and she distributed clothing or bandages to the soldiers, whoever might be needy or suffering. Gaius Plinius, the chronicler of the German wars, relates that she stood at the head of the bridge, offering congratulatory praises to the legions as they returned.
—Tacitus, 1.69.1 —L'Hoir 2006, pp. 136–7
Using the above epithet, "(femina) ingens animi" ("..[a woman], great for her courage"), he assigns a haughty attitude to Agrippina that compels her to explore the affairs of men. He records her as having reversed the natural order of things when she quelled the mutiny of the Rhine in AD 14. In so doing, he describes her as having usurped her husband's power, a power rightfully belonging only to a general. ...

This enormous sculpture was discovered in the mid-nineteenth century at the Temple of Apollo at Cyrene in Libya. It was excavated by the British explorers and amateur archaeologists Captain Robert Murdoch Smith and Commander Edwin A. Porcher. The statue was found broken into 121 pieces, lying near the large plinth where it originally stood. The fragments were later reassembled in the British Museum to create a relatively intact statue with only the right arm and left hand missing.
The statue is made from high quality marble and would have originally been painted. The god is shown nude with the exception of a cloak wrapped around his hips. As the god of music, he is shown playing a lyre, with a python nestled below. The statue has a curious mixture of masculine and feminine characteristics, which reflects its Hellenistic origin.

The Turin Erotic Papyrus (Papyrus 55001, also called the Erotic Papyrus or even Turin Papyrus) is an ancient Egyptian papyrus scroll-painting that was created during the Ramesside Period, approximately in 1150 B.C. Discovered in Deir el-Medina in the early 19th century, it has been dubbed "world's first men's mag." Measuring 8.5 feet (2.6 m) by 10 inches (25 cm), it consists of two parts, one of which contains twelve erotic vignettes depicting various sex positions. It is currently housed by the Museo Egizio in Turin, Italy.
... The final two thirds of Turin Erotic Papyrus consist of a series of twelve vignettes showing men and women in various sexual positions. The men in the illustrations are "scruffy, balding, short, and paunchy" with exaggeratedly large genitalia and do not conform to Egyptian standards of physical attractiveness, but the women are nubile, and they are shown with objects from traditional erotic iconography, such as convolvulus leaves and, in some scenes, they are even holding items traditionally associated with Hathor, the goddess of love, such as lotus flowers, monkeys, and sistra. The scroll was probably painted in the Ramesside period (1292-1075 BC). Its high artistic quality indicates that it was produced for a wealthy audience. No other similar scrolls have yet been discovered.

The colossal statue portrays Apollo sitting on a rocky spur. All bare parts, namely the head and hands, as well as the lyre, were originally made of bronze and were replaced by C.

Specific rites were required to become a member. A key feature that helps to identify these scenes as Bacchic is the depiction of maenads, the deity's female followers.

The Greeks were highly skeptical about any of the religious rationales used by certain foreigners in an attempt to justify their blood rites of penile reduction. The History of Herodotus (484–420 B.C.E.) is the earliest Greek text reporting the practice of genital mutilation of various degrees, such as circumcision. Herodotus ascribes circumcision to the Colchians, Ethiopians, Phoenicians, Syrians, and Macrones, as well as to the Egyptian priestly caste. He also reports, however, that the salutary influence of Greek culture induced the Phoenicians to abandon circumcision. In an oft-repeated passage, always quoted out of context, Herodotus describes the topsy-turvy world of the Egyptian priestly caste with obvious disapproval:
Everywhere else in the world, priests have long hair, but in Egypt they shave their heads. In times of mourning, it is the norm elsewhere for those most affected by the bereavement to crop their hair; in Egypt, however, in the period following a death, they let both their hair and their beards grow, when they had previously been shaved. Everywhere else in the world people live separately from their animals, but animals and humans live together in Egypt. Other people live off barley and ordinary wheat, but Egyptians regard it as demeaning to make those grains one's staple diet; their staple is hulled wheat, or "emmer" as it is sometimes known. They knead dough with their feet and clay with their hands, and they pick up dung with their hands too. Other people, unless they have been influenced by the Egyptians, leave their genitals in their natural state, but the Egyptians practice circumcision.
Later in the following paragraph, Herodotus repeats the revelation about the circumcision of the priests and places it in the context of their impenetrable cultic fastidiousness:
Because they are exceedingly religious, more so than any other people in the world, they have the following customs. Everyone, without any exceptions, scrubs clean the bronze cup he uses for drinking every day. The linen cloaks they wear are always freshly washed; this is something they are very particular about. Their concern for cleanliness also explains why they practise circumcision, since they value cleanliness more than comeliness.
The ironic tone of this passage, which has hitherto been poorly appreciated, underscores Herodotus's dismay at the Egyptian priestly caste's illogical notions of cleanliness and religiosity and their unfathomable disregard for physical beauty. Clearly, he is emphasizing that the notions of genital cleanliness that he ascribes to a people who routinely handle dung bare-handed and prepare food with their bare feet are necessarily at variance with those of the civilized Greeks. ... An important clue to the Greeks' assumptions about the association of circumcision with the Egyptian priesthood is to be found on the fifth-century B.C.E. Attic red-figure pelike by the Pan painter, depicting Herakles overthrowing Busiris, a mythological priest-king of Egypt, and his bald-headed priestly attendants who have attempted to make of Herakles a human sacrifice. The painter has taken great pains to depict the priests as having fat, ugly, wrinkled, circumcised penises with a bulbous externalized glans, which contrast sharply with the neat and attractive penis of Herakles, with its elegantly long and tapered prepuce. Likewise, the snubbed noses and monkey-like faces of the Egyptians could hardly be more dissimilar to the heroic Greek profile of Herakles. To paraphrase K. J. Dover, if a circumcised penis goes with a hideous face and a long and tapered prepuce goes with a handsome face, it is the long and tapered prepuce that was admired.
Later Greek writers, such as Strabo (b.64 B.C.E) and Diodorus Siculus (first century B.C.E, horrified their readers with accounts of the genital mutilation practices of various primitive, sometimes cave-dwelling tribes living around the Red Sea, as well as those of the Hebrews and Egyptians. While some of these tribes amputated only the prepuce, others amputated the glans, and still others amputated the entire penis. Strabo also provides a secular account of the origin of circumcision among the Hebrews. He writes that they are partly descended from Egyptians who left their homeland to follow an apostate priest named Moses, who was displeased with the state of affairs in Egypt and sought to worship his "Divine Being" divorced from animal imagery. Moses led his followers to Judaea and established an autocratic theocracy at what is now Jerusalem:
His [Moses'] successors for some time abided by the same course, acting righteously and being truly pious toward God; but afterwards, in the first place, superstitious men were appointed to the priesthood, and then tyrannical people; and from superstition arose abstinence from flesh, from which it is their custom to abstain even to-day, and circumcisions and excisions [of females] and other observances of the kind.
Strabo's statement that the Hebrew priesthood imposed male and female circumcision for tyrannical and superstitious reasons supports Wilhelm Reich's theory of circumcision as a mechanism of social control. Additionally, these Greek accounts of the bodily mutilations practiced by some primitive Near Eastern tribes underscore the association between circumcision and more severe penile mutilations. They also highlight the association between the circumcised penis (and, therefore, the exposed glans) and the linked concepts of primitiveness, barbarity, backwardness, superstition, and oppression. ... " The Ideal Prepuce in Ancient Greece and Rome. HODGES (2001) - The counter argument is the beautiful Greek uncircumcised penis was also a form of social control - in this case by the "key-holder" which for most men was the wife! The circumcised man was the king of his own penis, while the Greek surrendered that to the females ... Towards the end of the roman empire only Jews and Egyptian priests were allowed to circumcise, and even they were prohibited to force their slaves to follow the practice: " ... Considering that the name of the part being cut off—posthe—could also designate the whole penis, the idea of circumcision might well have evoked the same feelings aroused by penile castration. Freud points out the widespread tendency to equate penile castration with circumcision, which, he maintained, must have been a relatively milder substitute that was designed to take the place of penile castration in primeval days. Thus, to the Greeks and Romans, both mutilations must have seemed to be the ultimate in mindless, barbaric irreverence, excess, and depravity. In this context, it is immediately understandable why the Seleucid and later the Roman imperial administrations, charged with the self-imposed task of civilizing the known world, unhesitatingly criminalized the ritualized disfigurement of the penis.
For instance, in the Hellenistic era, the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes (175–165 B.C.E.) consolidated the empire of Alexander and, according to Tacitus, "endeavoured to abolish Jewish superstition and to introduce Greek civilization." Although the corroborative accounts of Josephus and the first book of Maccabees are afflicted with a bias that undermines their value as historical sources, it is notable that one product of superstition that these sources name as being banned by Antiochus was the ritual circumcision of infants. Clearly, the Hebrew religious element emphatically disagreed with the Greeks' positive evaluation of the prepuce. Although it is most likely a convenient post hoc rationalization of ritual male circumcision rather than the original reason for its introduction into Hebrew religious ritual, there can be no escape from the devastating cultural implications of the Talmudic dictum, echoing the Mishnah: "The foreskin is disgusting." Here we witness one of the fundamental and irreconcilable points of discord between the Greek and Hebrew views of the body.
With evident hostility, Josephus and the authors of 1 Maccabees also report that circumcised Hebrew males during this era voluntarily sought foreskin restoration therapies, interpreting this as an illicit attempt at assimilation into Greek culture. It is regrettable that, if any Hellenophile Israelites committed alternative perspectives to writing, nothing of this nature seems to have survived. What has survived, however, is documentary evidence that the Romans picked up where the Greeks left off in the campaign to rid the world of sexual disfigurements of all degrees. Upholding a standard of beneficence all their own, the Romans united the Greeks' high regard for the intact body with a greater gift for administration. Accordingly, Emperor Domitian (81–96 C.E.) and his successor Nerva (96–98) issued proscripts against the castration of citizens and slaves. Although there remains no direct and indisputable contemporary Roman legal or literary confirmation for it, Hadrian's late biographer, Aelius Spartianus, as well as modern scholars, have argued convincingly that, around 132 C.E., Hadrian issued a universal decree outlawing circumcision, under penalty of death.There is, however, conclusive documentation that Hadrian reiterated the ban on castration, and he and his successors seem not to have made any ethical distinction between castration and circumcision, for the wording of the laws as well as the extreme penalties for both crimes are nearly identical: forfeiture of all property and execution of the perpetrators—or, for those of higher rank, deportation to an island.The fact that circumcision was punished with the maximum penalty allowed under the law attests to the strength of Greek and Roman views on the subject.
Taking into account the compassionate spirit of the almost identically framed laws banning castration, the ban on circumcision was most certainly motivated by humanitarian and ethical considerations rather than by a purely theological discord with those groups, such as the Hebrew priesthood, whose rationale for the ritualized circumcision of infants was defended (ineffectively, as far as the Greeks were concerned) by an appeal to the supernatural. Yet, of the various peoples affected by this ruling, apparently only the conservative religious element among the Hebrews took umbrage, leaving behind a series of elaborated, mythologized, and, not untypically, contradictory accounts, alleging the interdiction to have been religiously motivated. It is interesting to note, however, that the abundance of special rules and regulations regarding the cultic activities of "uncircumcised" Hebrew priests, as preserved in the Talmud, strongly hints that even in the highest circles of the Hebrew ruling classes there existed, for a period, a measure of active pluralism on the question of infant circumcision that was independent of Roman legal persuasion.
The Digest of Justinian (a legal compilation collected by learned jurists at the behest of Justinian in 533), however, documents that, around 140, Emperor Antoninus Pius at least modified the ruling of Hadrian to allow only the Hebrews to circumcise their children, while upholding the legal protections from circumcision for all other peoples:
Jews are permitted to circumcise only their sons on the authority of a rescript of the Divine Pius; if anyone shall commit it on one who is not of the same religion, he shall suffer the punishment of a castrator.
While Pius limited the exemption to Hebrews, papyrological documents in Greek, dating from 155 to 189 C.E. indicate that complex bureaucratic mechanisms were provisionally established to grant individual exemptions to this edict for certain members of the Egyptian priestly caste. Few such exemptions, however, appear to have been granted. The widespread approval for the abolition of circumcision was limited by neither space nor time, for by the end of the third century, Pius's interdiction against circumcision was enhanced by the enactment of an additional legal prohibition:
Roman citizens, who suffer that they themselves or their slaves be circumcised in accordance with the Jewish custom, are exiled perpetually to an island and their property confiscated; the doctors suffer capital punishment. If Jews shall circumcise purchased slaves of another nation, they shall be banished or suffer capital punishment.
The incorporation into the Digest of Pius's more recent revisions of the law banning circumcision would explain why the sixth-century compilers of the Digest did not include the obsolete original decree of Hadrian. The two rescripts of Pius, coupled together, were reenacted under Constantine the Great in the fourth century, and, of course, under Justinian in the sixth century. Simultaneously, the church adopted these as well as additional bans on circumcision into canon law and into its regional legal codes. Furthermore, the secular Roman law of the Byzantine Empire and the countries of Western Europe, at least through the Middle Ages, preserved and enhanced laws banning Hebrews from circumcising non-Hebrews and banning Christians or slaves of any religious affiliation from undergoing circumcision for any reason.
It is important to note that one of the reasons for the seemingly continuous need to reenact laws banning Hebrews from circumcising non-Hebrews stems from the unavoidable conflict that arose over the issue of Hebrew religious freedom. From the pagan reign of Emperor Antoninus Pius and through the Christian imperial administrations of the Middle Ages, with a few notable and isolated exceptions, the freedom of the Hebrews to practice Judaism was guaranteed by law.Hebrew law, however, requires that Hebrews circumcise their slaves and servants, although this circumcision does not constitute a conversion to Judaism. The Torah, the Talmud, and the later Schulchan Aruch all attest to the Judaistic imperative for forcibly circumcising non-Hebrews in this context. Although the periodic need to reenact anticircumcision laws indicates that they were frequently violated (and specific instances of violation have been preserved), Roman and church law agreed in principle that the absolute freedom of the Hebrews to practice Judaism ended at the beginning of the preputial epidermis of non-Hebrews. ...

This sculpture was moved to Florence from Villa Medici in Rome, together with the statues of the Medici Niobe Group, in 1770. Since its arrival in Florence, the Apollino has always remained in the Tribuna by Buontalenti, where a singular accident occurred around 1840: a painting fell on it and sculptor Lorenzo Bartolini was charged with restoring it. The right hand is also a modern reintegration, as well as the left arm from below the elbow, part of the base, the nose and the hair.
The graceful, naked male figure of the young god, gently leaning against a trunk and with his right hand on his head, is a Roman copy - dating back to the middle of the 1st century A. D., the so-called Lycian Apollo (Lykeios), attributed to late-classic sculptor Praxiteles of Athens, who worked during the 4th century b. C. The name “Lycian” can be traced back to the root of the Greek word for “light” and to the fact that the newly born Apollo was taken by his mother, Leto, to Lycia (a peninsula to the east of the island of Rhodes, now part of the Turkish province of Adalar), or to the god’s fame as a slayer of wolves (since “Lykos” is the Greek word for “wolf”). As for the statue in question – or better, for the original on which it is based – the name “Lycian” would seem to be due to the fact that it was thought to have been placed in the “Lyceum”, the school founded by Aristotle on the southern slopes of Mount Lycabettus in Athens around 335 b. C., near a sanctuary dedicated to Apollo.
The sinuous pose of the figure has been recognised as a characteristic of Praxiteles’ work: and it is not by chance that it can be seen in another of his works, perhaps the most copied statue in the ancient world, the famous Aphrodite of Knidos, also in the Tribuna, in the famous variation known as the Medici Venus....

Too-frequent ejaculation was thought to weaken men. Greek medical theories based on the classical elements and humors recommended limiting the production of semen by means of cooling, drying, and astringent therapies, including cold baths and the avoidance of flatulence-causing foods. In the 2nd century AD, the medical writer Galen explains semen as a concoction of blood (conceived of as a humor) and pneuma (the "vital air" required by organs to function) formed within the man's coiled spermatic vessels, with the humor turning white through heat as it enters into the testicles. In his treatise On Semen, Galen warns that immoderate sexual activity results in a loss of pneuma and hence vitality:
It is not at all surprising that those who are less moderate sexually turn out to be weaker, since the whole body loses the purest part of both substances, and there is besides an accession of pleasure, which by itself is enough to dissolve the vital tone, so that before now some persons have died from excess of pleasure.
The uncontrolled dispersing of pneuma in semen could lead to loss of physical vigor, mental acuity, masculinity, and a strong manly voice, a complaint registered also in the Priapea. Sexual activity was thought particularly to affect the voice: singers and actors might be infibulated to preserve their voices.Quintilian advises that the orator who wished to cultivate a deep masculine voice for court should abstain from sexual relations.. ...

" ... The Kynodesme as Protector of Public Morals
The association between the longer prepuce and respectability was so strongly felt that Greeks took steps to prevent unwanted exposure of the glans. In this regard, the consistent artistic portrayal of the adult penis with a generously proportioned akroposthion may well represent an anatomical ideal peculiar to Greeks, but, in some cases, it could accurately represent a penis whose akroposthion has been elongated—either deliberately or accidentally—through the continuous, long-term application of traction. Such traction may have come from the use of the kynodesme (κυνοδεσμη, literally a "dog leash"), a thin leather thong wound around the akroposthion that pulled the penis upward and was tied in a bow, tied around the waist, or secured by some other means.
Tethering the akroposthion with the kynodesme is frequently confused with preputial infibulation, which had different objectives and was achieved by surgically piercing the prepuce and using the holes so created for the insertion of a metal clasp (fibula) in order to fasten the prepuce shut. Celsus, whose work was most likely composed during the reign of Tiberius (14–37 C.E.), disapprovingly describes infibulation as being performed on adolescents "for the sake of the voice, or for health's sake." There is no suggestion that it improves the appearance of the penis.
Vase paintings and statues frequently portray nude athletes wearing the kynodesme. One of the most informative iconographic representations is found on an Attic red-figure calyx-krater painted by Euphronios, dating from 520–510 B.C.E. which shows a young athlete in the process of grasping the lips of his akroposthion with the fingers of his left hand and pulling the prepuce taut while his right hand is poised ready to loop the kynodesme around the neck of the akroposthion.
Because of the frequency with which the kynodesme is seen in athletic settings, some scholars have speculated that it was worn for athletic protection—but, as Paul Zanker maintains, this explanation fails to encompass all of the facts. Athletes are not the only group regularly depicted wearing the kynodesme.The case for its more general use is supported by the nonspecific definitions recorded by ancient lexicographers. For instance, Julius Pollux, the second-century C.E. grammarian and sophist, states simply: "The cord with which they tie up the foreskin, they call the dog leash," while Hesychius, the fifth-century C.E. grammarian of Alexandria, defines it merely as an "akroposthion band." The second-century C.E. grammarian Phrynichus Arabius, however, in an etymological and demographic mood, defines kynodesmai as "the thing with which the people of Attica who have their glans exposed bind their penis. They call the penis kyon [dog]." The lexicon of Photius (ca. 820– 91) goes even further and adds a moral dimension, stating that the kynodesme is "the little piece of hide with which the prepuce of those is bound, who in undressing disgrace themselves." Photius is unspecific about the exact nature of this disgrace, but we can safely assume that it lies in the unseemly externalization of the glans that a deficient or loose-lipped prepuce is unable to prevent. The kynodesme, then, is a means by which any male so affected can maintain his dignity when in the nude.
In komos scenes, mature komasts, or revelers, are frequently portrayed wearing the kynodesme as well. A striking example is a statue of the poet Anacreon, in the guise of a komast, in which his akroposthion is bound with a kynodesme and drawn upward. Noting that this custom was widely practiced, Zanker observes that preventing unwanted exposure of the glans was a "sign of the modesty and decency expected in particular of the older participants in the symposium."
Satyrs are sometimes painted wearing the kynodesme, though certainly the intent is a humorous depiction of an unsuccessful imitation of human komasts. Additionally, the hair-skirted satyr character of the theater wears the kynodesme. This is most clearly illustrated in a quartet of larger-than-life marble satyr telamon figures from the theater of Dionysos in Athens (now on display in the Louvre) in which the kynodesme, which is clearly visible, is noosed around the akroposthion, pulling the penis upward, and the cord is secured to the belt of the hair skirt. ...

It was war by centimeters ”, she amuses himself. Last year, Andrea was forced to wear a “trikini” at União da Ilha do Governador.

I have expenses with the coast, the head, the sandals and the body painting, done by a professional [Madson de Araújo]. I bring him from São Paulo and bank everything.

The new drum queen of Academicos do Cubango, Maryane Hipólito, is already an old acquaintance of the club. The young sambista was already a passista and muse of the samba school in Niterói, having started her career in the child group. In the last Carnival, Hipólito paraded as queen of drums of Academicos do Sossego.
For Hipólito - who will be crowned on the 25th of August, during the final of the Cubango sambas-enredo dispute - her identity at Carnival was shaped by her passage in the Niteroi association. “Being the queen of Cubango for me is an achievement! I started attending school as a child and it was at school that I created my identity during Carnival. I was a child dreamer, I was part of the show dreamer team and had the great opportunity to be a muse for three consecutive years. At first I didn't think I could get this far, I saw everything as a child's fun, but time passed and I got to know things better ”, he said.
Maryane's trip to Cubango is also a characteristic of the current administration of the samba school. Since the last year, the team of President Rogério Belisário has been trying to rescue the identity of the green and white association, in addition to valuing their own community. Among the slogans of the school, is the expression “Rescue Cubango”.
The samba na pé and the charisma of Maryanne Hipólito can be seen up close next Sunday (29). The young woman will perform for the first time in front of the Cubango battery in a feijoada that will present the sambas competing in the association for Carnival 2019. The event, which will be held on the school court, is scheduled to start at 1 pm. Entrance is free and the feijoada dish will cost R $ 10.
The Academicos do Cubango court is located at Rua Noronha Torrezão, 560, in Niterói. The plot for the next Carnival, “Igbá Cubango - the soul of things and the art of miracles”, will be developed by the carnivalists Gabriel Haddad and Leonardo Bora, in addition to the researcher Vinícius Natal.

Drum queen Pâmella Gomes talks about racism in a year that Tom Maior celebrates blackness: 'Constant struggle'
Pâmella Gomes, 28, has one more reason to represent the drums at the Tom Maior samba school this year. With the plot “It's a black thing”, the Barra Funda school, in the West Zone of São Paulo, will talk about the legacy of blackness, resistance and the struggle for equality of the black people.
“Through our plot we can scream and tell our true story, using what is ours, samba, to exalt those who created and fought for this black culture. I have suffered racism countless times, unfortunately! I believe that Brazil is improving, but there is still a lot to change, it is a constant struggle ”, says Pâmella.
Representativeness is something important for Pamela. She has attended Tom Maior since she was 3 years old. She has 26 years of history with the school, where it is considered part of the community.
“Representing the heart of my school is extremely important to me in the current scenario, in which the samba player is increasingly losing their space. Of the 14 samba schools of the Special Group, only two queens are from the community. I am one of them. It is up to me to preserve and fight to maintain our culture ”, she says, citing Aline Oliveira, queen of Mocidade Alegre.

(Sept 17, 2020) I think what Pâmella Gomes is talking about is what we see in more stark form in the United States - assimilation into the mainstream culture requires erasure - usually of old cultures but especially of the Negro.
For example I was recently commenting on my difficulty of understanding Faulkner on my social media - but when I went back to re-read the tweet is was buried in a hard to find way.
So I will re-post it here:
" ... Aug 27, 2020: Don't get Faulkner - I've tried but I can't finish "The sound and the Fury" even though it's ranked one of the 100 best novels of the 20th century. It's all broken up - like a schizophrenic mind. Maybe if you read it like poetry it would work. The "lost cause" - Faulkner was married to it. That's the new American dream if you think about it. Even black folk want to exit blackness! And its going to happen ... But what about the snakes? Who's the new boogeyman? - Without the negroes ... A value I get from the lost cause is the Aristocracy - Lincoln trashed that. America used to have an aristocracy - they wrote the constitution
" ... Gorra’s well-conceived, exhaustively researched book probes history’s refusals. He begins with “Intruder in the Dust” and one character’s striking reverie about the moments before the ill-fated charge that led to the Confederate defeat at Gettysburg. Faulkner writes, “For every Southern boy” there is a fantasy about the instant before loss became inevitable, the “still not yet” when “it’s all in the balance.” This fixation on the horizon of defeat, Gorra maintains, is part of the collective delusion the South called the Lost Cause. The noble suffering of genteel Southern ladies, the Confederacy led by “gallant men of principle,” slavery as a necessary and essentially benign institution — these elements distort into a mythologized Southern history, what Gorra describes as a “Valhalla” that “snapped the threads of time itself, so reluctant has their society been to accept that war’s verdict.”Ayana Mathis, NY Times, The Trauma of the Civil War Lives On in Faulkner’s Fiction Aug. 25, 2020 The George Benson album below ["Breezin"]was from the collection of a [recently dead] dude from Faulkner's dream world ... I was surprised he had so much black music. It's like Woody Allen - he plays Jazz every Monday in a club but refuses to cast black people in his movies because he says it "not real" to include them ***
Sep 18, 2020 Saw two inner images after posting that. One was my body with legs of different color - one black one white. I assume that means integration.
The second image was millions of white American slaves being held by what I guessed was an ancient Indian spirit. It seems that American slavery is back, but it has changed races ... That image is not new for me - It has been repeating itself for many years and is why I spent so much time with the Mayan Xibalbans or death lords ...
It's an image that is also related to "alien abductions" - something happening but only visible in the dream state Sept 30, 2020: There's another way to see this: drinking Ayahuasca. Although the interpretation may differ - in the Peru documentary Ayahuasca Diary a young American says she saw "aliens" trying to trick her while on Ayahausca. Her American shaman (apprentice) did not agree they were aliens. But I trust the young woman!
Also spectacular was a cure for cancer amoung her small group! Just the previous night I saw another documented cure for cancer credited to Ayahausca - in "The Ayahuasca Experience" - shot in Costa Rica.

Exu protects the streets and the people
Beija-Flor closed Sapucaí's parades at dawn on Monday (24) with a celebration to the streets. From the ice age to Sapucaí, the school talked about the construction of paths, bridges and roads as a mechanism for the evolution of humanity. Throughout the parade the message of the Nilópolis club was clear: the street belongs to the people.
Exu, an entity that paves the way and allows communication in religions of African origin opened the parade. The front commission simulated a gang fight at a crossroads. Tranca Ruas, Pomba Gira, Malandro and other Umbanda demonstrations were dressed in modern clothing and punk and dystopian airs.
In the samba enredo, Exu appeared as protector of the people in the streets: As much as there are barriers
I came to win in your nest
It's good to remember that I'm not alone
Ê Laroyê Ina Mojubá
Adakê Exu ô, ô, ô
Secure the people so that the people own the streets
Ô run around the streets - the Beija-Flor!
At the end of the parade, the people took to the streets in a wing with white and silver costumes and wielded posters. Some of them spoke of homesickness, of love for school and for Carnival, in phrases taken from samba songs by Beija-Flor. Among them, the phrase that represented the loudest cry of this Carnival at Sapucaí "My song is resistance". ... " brasildefato

Exu (known as Eleggua in Santeria and Legba in Candomble) is the owner of the roads and doors in this world. He is the repository of ashe. The colors red and black or white and black are his and codify his contradictory nature. In particular, Exu stands at the crossroads of the human and the divine, as he is a child-like messenger between the two worlds. In this role, it is not surprising that he has a very close relationship with the orisha of divination, Orunmila. Nothing can be done in either world without his permission. Exu is always propitiated and always called first before any other orisha as he opens the door between the worlds and opens our roads in life. He recognizes himself and is recognised by the numbers 3 and 21.
Exu, for any of you who are familiar with any earth centered religion, fulfills the role of the divine messenger. Every earth centered tradition that I know of, believes that there is some force in nature, or spiritual presence, or some power that allows humans to communicate with nature and allows nature to communicate with humans. It is the function of translation. The divine messenger translates the language of nature into the language of humans and the language of humans into the language of nature.
The most abstract manifestation of Exu is as it comes into being in the Odu Ose 'Tura which appears as follows:
I
IIII
II
III
This is the symbolic representation of the energy pattern that incarnates Exu. This Odu is used as a magnet to invoke the power of the divine messenger. In Ifá Creation Myth, the eternal rock of creation is called Oyigiyigi. This rock separated into four calabashes of creation. These four calabashes interacted with one another to form sixteen sacred principles called Olu Odu or the primal principles of creation. In Ifá the sacred number seventeen represents the sixteen primal Odu plus Ose'Tura which is the seventeenth Odu of Ifá. This Odu has the function of causing the Olu Odu to copulate generating the two hundred and forty Odu that are generated by the first sixteen Odu. This suggests that Exu, in addition to being the Divine Messenger, is also primal seed of generation.
Ifá is the religious tradition of Yoruba culture. It is the parent religion of all the different spiritual societies, fraternities and sororities that exist within the culture. The reason that Ifá is considered the source of all the other forms of worship within Yoruba culture has to do with the role of Exu and Ose 'Tura in relationship to the primal Olu Odu. In essence when an Ifá priest is initiated, they invoke the first sixteen Odu, then they invoke Ose'Tura. This is a ritual reenactment of the original moment of the Creation of diversity within the Universe. This ritual event gives the initiate a glimpse of the primal event that generated being as we experience in human life. It is the mystical vision of that event that gives the Prophet Orunmila the praise name "Eleri - ipin" which means "Witness to Creation." In addition to being the Divine Messenger, Exu has several other functions. That of a Divine Trickster and that of a Door Opener. Taking them one at a time, should give a broader understanding of Exu as a force in nature:
In the role of Exu as divine trickster, most of the anthropological literature identifies the trickster as a random form of harassment. In some literature Exu is described as an "evil" phenomena and is often translated as the devil. But there is a very sacred function for all tricksters in all traditional cultures. That function is to bring to each one of us the truth that we are all interconnected and inter-related. It is the eternal truth that no one can be totally self reliant. The role of the trickster is to let those who believe that all their problems are covered, that they are a tough guy and will never cry, know that this self perception may not be true. His goal behind his tricks is to create an awareness of inter-relatedness.
This inter-relatedness is not just limited to people. We are dependent on other people to survive in the world and we are dependent on communication with nature to survive in the world. The divine trickster slaps us up side our head when we empty too much garbage in our water. If it is disruptive, we can expect a wake up call from Exu. The Divine Trickster is not some arbitrary, malevolent force that is out to get you if you don't behave. That is the Christian "boogy man" model. The divine trickster is a fundamental principle of the structure of reality, based on the idea that if you see an egg that hatches and something comes out with wings, there's a pretty good chance that its a bird. The universe is not arbitrary.
Exu is also the opener of the doors; the messenger of the gods. He is a great diviner who does not need an oracle to see the future. He owns the keys to all doors, to evil as well as good. He seems to take pleasure in creating compromising situations and trouble between humans but his actions are always justified though he alone knows the true meaning of justice and sees things which are hidden from humanity as well as other Orishas. He can be equally cruel and generous; treacherous, dangerous and capricicious like fate itself.
It is said of Exu that of the Orisha he is both the highest and the lowest, a prince and a pauper who is equally at ease in a palace and a garbage dump. With Oya, he rules over the four winds. He is a great healer and a master magician. His spells and amulets are all powerful and impossible to destroy. ...

Tentacle erotica or tentacle rape is a type of pornography most commonly found in Japan which integrates traditional pornography with elements of bestiality and a fantasy, horror, or science-fiction theme. It is found in some horror or hentai titles, with tentacled creatures (usually fictional monsters) having sexual intercourse, predominantly with females. Tentacle erotica can be consensual but frequently contains elements of rape.
The genre is popular enough in Japan that it is the subject of parody. In the 21st century, Japanese films of this genre have become more common in the United States and Europe, although it still remains a small, fetish-oriented part of the adult film industry. While most tentacle erotica is animated, there are also a few live action movies.
Creatures with tentacles appeared in Japanese erotica long before animated pornography. Among the most famous of the early instances is an illustration from the 1814 Hokusai Katsushika novel Kinoe no komatsu popularly known as The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife. It is an example of shunga (Japanese erotic woodblock art) and has been reworked by a number of artists. Masami Teraoka brought the image up to date with his 2001 work "Sarah and Octopus/Seventh Heaven", part of his Waves and Plagues collection.
A scholarly paper by Danielle Talerico showed that although western audiences often interpret Hokusai's famous design as rape, Japanese audiences of the Edo period would have viewed it as consensual. They would have recognized the print as depicting the legend of the female abalone diver Tamatori. In the story, Tamatori steals a jewel from the Dragon King. During her escape, the Dragon King and his sea-life minions (including octopodes) pursue her. The dialogue in the illustration shows the diver and two octopodes expressing mutual enjoyment.
Contemporary censorship in Japan dates to the Meiji period. The influence of European Victorian culture was a catalyst for legislative interest in public sexual mores. Post-WWII, the Allies imposed a number of reforms on the Japanese government including anti-censorship laws. The legal proscriptions against pornography, therefore, derive from the nation's penal code.
At present, “obscenity” is still prohibited. How this term is interpreted has not remained constant. While exposed genitalia (and, until recently, pubic hair) are illegal, the diversity of permissible sexual acts is now wide compared with other liberal democracies.
Leaders within the tentacle porn industry have stated that much of their work was initially directed at circumventing this policy. The animator Toshio Maeda stated: “At that time pre-Urotsukidoji, it was illegal to create a sensual scene in bed. I thought I should do something to avoid drawing such a normal sensual scene. So I just created a creature. His tentacle is not a penis as a pretext. I could say, as an excuse, this is not a penis; this is just a part of the creature. You know, the creatures, they don't have a gender. A creature is a creature. So it is not obscene – not illegal." ... " Wikipedia

For now, I'll keep going, ”says Rosi in a good mood, who only now assumes that she is well with her body.
“I was always big and big. At nine, people thought I was 15. I always had a lot of legs and ass. At the time of the contest, the organizers demanded that I lose weight at each stage. I lost 15 pounds and had to maintain this forced thinness for years. I went hungry, took purgatives and even had anemia and ulcers. Now I don't want to know about that anymore!

The Mentule is also probably the Fon "rainbow serpent" - I suppose this means the "poto-mitan" has to be in a sexually aroused state - Thats what the nude dancing in Samba is designed to produce ... Haitians also associate the poto-mitan with hermaphrodite deities - or a woman with a phallus - or Mentule ... It's a safe bet to assume all powerful Haitian female shamans have a large female phallus ! Fon men were also probably in the penis cage - although I have never seen anything like that ...

Moments before entering the avenue, one of the main highlights of the Acadêmicos do Tucuruvi, Graciella Carvalho, deputy of the Miss Bumbum contest, said she was "nervous", but ready to "drown out". "I'm super anxious, nervous. I want to leave that behind and be a champion now," she said.
Asked if it bothered her to leave with her breasts sticking out, she said, "It doesn't bother me at all." "I want to cause, drown out - anything goes at Carnaval."
Highlighted by the school's fourth car, she fulfilled her promise to parade with very little clothing.
Acadêmicos do Tucuruvi, runner-up in 2011, are looking for their first title this year. For this reason, a lot of expectation was generated in all about 3 thousand members of the school in relation to the parade.
With an African theme, the association made the choice to use simpler materials this year. Bamboo, straw, jute, wicker and aritifical feathers were used.
Founded in 1976, the association is located in the neighborhood of the North Zone of São Paulo. ...

" ... Renata Pinheiro, one of the great attractions in the Turucuvi parade on Friday, the 13th, due to her large butt, returned to Anhembi, in São Paulo to be one of the highlights of Unidos do Peruche. With a "less naked" fantasy, she said that she is more comfortable the other way.
"I prefer to walk without clothes," she said, laughing. Renata explained that the opportunity to parade again arose and she would not dismiss it because of the size of the costume. "As I love carnival, I went. But it was also great," he said.
Renata said she was not bothered by appearing naked in public with only a painted body. "I was never ashamed of my body. I always liked it, especially after I had a child," said the blonde, also saying that the 9-year-old son is a little jealous of his mother.
On Saturday, 14, Renata decided to reveal the intervention she did on her butt. The highlight of Tucuruvi said that the popozão is not just the result of physical exercises or sleeping with tight shorts . "I put fat from my own body (on my butt). I did it because I wanted the big one to be bigger," she confessed to EGO almost 24 hours after the Tucuruvi parade. Renata didn't want to tell me when she did the operation, only that she removed the fat from her belly.
Former Miss Bumbum participant
Renata has already wanted to own the title of the woman with the most beautiful butt in Brazil. The blonde participated in the Miss Bumbum Brasil contest in 2013. At the time, Renata was not so "popozuda".
“It is clear that there was a change. What the contest seeks is a natural butt. I guarantee that at the time of the contest she did not have a silicone prosthesis.

Coordinator of a gym in Rio stole the show with her body before parading through União da Ilha at dawn on Tuesday, 17.
Rosi Barreto returned ... at dawn this Tuesday, 17. The "turbid queen", who drew attention when she arrived at the dressing room of the Sambódromo do Rio on the night of this Monday, 16 , paraded half-naked by concentration - with a micro sex slap and just one golden dot on the butt - and showed her body to the joy of revelers shortly before taking up her post at the União da Ilha samba school.
"I've been asked how much my sex tape measures, but I don't know," she said, who also said she was not afraid of losing the tiny piece in the middle of the avenue. "I am not worried. I am safe and I am sure it will not fall."
At 42, the coordinator of a gym in Rio is pure muscle. She will come in a car as the turbocharged queen of União da Ilha, the fourth school to parade at Marquês de Sapucaí on the second night of parades by the special group in Rio.
Earlier, in conversation with the EGO, she revealed the secrets of her form. To keep the body that only has silicone in the breasts - 550ml - and has a natural butt, Rosi has been on diet for five years. In all these years, in addition to working out hard, she had a gluten, fat, sugar and salt -free diet ... [and] she only eats whole grain bread. "Also like white cheese," she says, which this Monday was on grilled chicken - no salt! : "I feel a little weak, I confess." ...
And you have to have a strong heart to be married to Rosi.

Do you know the dark horse? On Saturday night, 25th, during the parades of group A samba schools, in Sapucaí do Rio, she was called Veridiana Freitas . After arriving at the last minute for the parade, declaring that she had only had three juices throughout the day and that she was going to have vodka and an energy drink to get onto the Avenue, the blonde did everything right. And more: she saved the school at a time when car 2 got stuck ... and even knelt on the avenue a la Luma de Oliveira.
"First I wanted to ask God to give me strength. There was a moment when I thought I couldn't stand it and I was going to faint. Then it was a tribute to Luma de Oliveira, my idol," she said, exhausted from the dispersion of the school.
"It was very intense. I felt like a gladiator entering the arena to fight the lions. But everything worked out. I kicked ass", she said, who had problems with the coaster - who had to be tied up in the middle of the parade -, and with her bra, clothes - which again showed too much. "Oh, it's part of it. Carnival is that," she said about showing too much and declaring that she wanted to go straight to a steak house. "I want to eat. To grapple with a lot of meat.

" ... Inanna placed the shugurra, the crown of the steppe, on her head.
She went to the sheepfold, to the shepard.
She leaned back against the apple tree.
When she leaned against the apple tree, her vulva was wonderous to behold.
Rejoicing at her wounderous vulva, the young woman Inanna applauded herself.
... Inanna spoke:
"What I tell you
Let the singer weave into song.
What I tell you,
Let it flow from ear to mouth,
Let it pass from old to young:
My vulva, the horn,
The Boat of Heaven,
Is full of eagerness like the young moon.
My untilled land lies fallow.
As for me, Inanna,
Who will plow my vulva!
Who will plow my high field!
Who will plow my wet ground!
As for me, the young woman,
Who will plow my vulva!
Who will station the ox there!
Who will plow my vulva!"
Dumuzi replied:
"Great Lady, the king will plow your vulva.
I, Dumuzi the King, will plow your vulva."
Inanna:
"Then plow my vulva, man of my heart!
Plow my vulva!"... "
Wolkstein and Kramer's - "Inanna and the God of Wisdom" -Unknown3488 Fernanda Lacerda - Buenos Aires, Argentina (2014) Inanna sings:
"These [my] female genitals ...my moored boat of heaven, clothed in beauty like the new crescent moon ... this high well-watered field of mine: my own female genitals, the maiden's, a well-watered opened-up mound - who will be their ploughman?"
(Dumuzi-Inanna Song P, ii 16-26). ***
I imagine that's what Roman men encountered during the festival of Cybele - The Amazon seated nude between her 2 lions
... But since Cybele required penis restraint - castrated priests and the Roman fibula or penis cage it was more probably an oral sex encounter. Followed by encounter with the mentule or Roman female phallus ...
- A version of this still exists - Oya of the Yoruba and Brazil is a goddess of war but also a goddess of sexuality - I saw a vision of Oya letting loose an army of erect female phallii during a Samba dance! And those a probably more than symbolic female erections! -Unknown3489 Veridiana Freitas - Buenos Aires, Argentina (2014) Innana's vulva played the hunting or masculine role and like a witch she punished men who said "no" to sex or more rarely who had sex with her without her consent - The only man strong enough to resist was the demi-god King Gilgamesh.
My theory is the focus of sexual power in Sumeria was shifted from the male phallus to the female phallus by the universal penis cage ... The same system probably existed in ancient Egypt and upper class Rome:
" ... There is also the myth of Inanna and Šukalletuda (Kramer 1949:399ff.). The male protagonist is Šukalletuda, a gardener’s boy, who at the beginning of the story seems to have a problem in getting his plants to flourish. Inanna, the goddess, lies down in his now beautiful garden, and falls asleep, following her strenuous journeys to far-off lands. Šukalletuda takes advantage of her exhaustion and ‘inserted his penis (and), kissed her’.
The day broke, to the risen Utu, the [woman] in fear lifted her eyes.
On that day, the woman, because of her pudenda, This is how she acted, this is how she destroyed.
Inanna is determined to punish the gardener:
‘He who cohabited with me I shall find (even) in the foreign lands’
she vows, and when she fails to do so, since the man just ‘disappeared’ among the population, she sends a series of plagues over the whole country. Inanna, although she is the goddess of voluptuousness, is not to be taken advantage of. We shall see in a later chapter that it is always she who initiates lovemaking and that Inanna’s eroticism celebrates sensuality. But she is not to be used as an object of phallic impulse. Although the garden is a popular locale for amorous encounters, and a metaphor for the female genitals, the action of Šukalletuda constitutes a violation. But why? Does sexual intercourse without the consent of one partner make it an offence? We shall see from the love-songs that the sensual pleasure experienced by women during intercourse was much emphasized. Does it show a lack of respect for the goddess of love on the man’s part not to do it properly, so to speak, rather than ‘stealing’ his satisfaction from the woman’s body. The text itself does not elaborate, but I am not convinced by Alster’s argument that we have here a defloration of the goddess (Alster 1973:30) and that the rivers being filled with blood, one of the punishments she sends, represents her blood. When Gilgameš taunts Ištar in the sixth tablet of the Babylonian epic, he recounts the story of the gardener Išulla-nu (lines 64–79). This is interesting for the inversion of the Šukalletuda motif. Išulla-nu is said to have been an indefatigable gardener,who ‘was always bringing you baskets of dates’. But here it is the goddess who desires him and expressively invites him to make love to her:
‘let us enjoy your strength, put out your hand and touch our vulva!’
But the man rudely refuses:
‘Me? What do you want from me? Did my mother not bake for me, and did I not eat?
What I eat (with you) would be loaves of dishonour and disgrace, Rushes would be my only covering against the cold.’
(Dalley 1989:79)
Upon which Ištar hits him and turns him into a toad.
The structure of both stories is parallel. Šukalletuda desires her and satisfies his lust upon the sleeping goddess without her invitation, whereupon he is punished. With Išulla-nu it is the goddess who invites him to have sex with her, but he refuses to comply and also gets punished. As far as the goddess is concerned, it comes to the same thing, as intercourse during a deep sleep is not what she would call an erotic experience worth having. We would conclude that in both cases the hubris is his failure to give her pleasure.
One could say generally that in these Sumerian texts, which deal with the masculine perspective of sexuality, the phallus is not presented as an instrument which provides women with an orgasm. Even the physical experience of the male is not explicitly described as one of physical satisfaction or pleasure, as in the case of women in the love-songs, although this is obviously implied. Either the stress is on the inseminating function of ejaculation, or on the metaphorical irrigational function, or on the physiological and psychological satisfaction of the sexual urge. The man’s desire is often provoked by the sight of a naked female body.
But whereas in the culture of ancient, post-Aryan India, where phallicism was predominant, we find the image of Lord K???a satisfying the thousand Gopis all at the same time, allowing each one to be possessed of his member, we have no parallel for such phallic feasts in the Sumerian literature.
The role of the phallus here belongs to reproductive sexuality and, by extension, to water-based fertility. It seems that from the latter stems the claim to authority, enshrined in political and economical power. ... "

That's like a Haitian loa descending in a sacred grove - with a free and exposed vulva.
- That process is often likened to a marriage - the male shaman receiving the sexual energy of the "loa".
A similar event occurred during the Sumerian marriage ceremony - but again the focus is on the vulva not the phallus.
Male on female oral sex, the mentule or female phallus and the male penis cage or fibula are probably the missing pieces of this puzzle - The loa are not usually the passive sexual partners to mere mortals!
" ... In the Bridal Songs Inanna represents the voice of the adolescent girl. She expresses her longing to be in the presence of the beloved:
‘I am the girl, the lady, where are you, my man?’
and
‘Me, the lady, let me go, let me go to the garden! In the garden dwells the man of my heart.’
(Alster 1992: lines 4, 46–7)
These romantic sentiments imply the temporary separation of the lovers before their wedding. We also found a certain amount of imaginary intimacy in anticipation of time spent together. The bride is shown as looking forward to her married state, not least because she will enjoy then full adult sexual relations:
‘Going to the lap of the groom—let us rejoice, Let us dance, let us dance,
O Bau, let us rejoice over my vulva!
Let us dance, let us dance,
(until) the end it will please him, it will please him!’ (Alster 1985:152)
Intercourse with full penetration was the traditional consummation of the marriage. It allowed the ‘fertilising sperm to be deposited in the woman’s womb’ and thus induce pregnancy. It seems that it was also the form of sexual act which was forbidden to the unmarried girl (Cassin 1987:341).
Another poem focuses on Inanna’s anticipation of sexual relations within marriage (Kramer 1963:505–8). In preparation for the wedding bed Inanna bathes and dresses in her grand robe:
‘The lady started to sing in praise of herself,
The gala will sing of it,
Inanna started to sing a song of praise of herself; She sang a song of her vulva.’
(Alster 1993:21)
In this song she implies that:
‘My bridegroom will rejoice in me; the shepherd, Dumuzi, will rejoice in me.’
She then embarks on a highly evocative eulogy of her vulva (gal4-la), which is unfortunately obscure in some parts (lines 17–24, obv. col, ii). She compares it among others to a horn:
‘The heavenly barge of the moon (with its) mooring ropes, The lovely crescent of the new moon,
A fallow plot in the desert, a field of ducks, full of ducks, Well-watered hilly land’
and asks rhetorically (lines 25–37):
‘For me, open my vulva—for me!
For me, the maiden, who is its ploughman? My vulva, a wet place, for me—
For me, the lady, who will provide the bull?’
(Alster 1993:24)
To which the audience replies:
‘Oh, lady, the king will plough it for you,’
and she urges him herself (line 40):
‘Plough my vulva, man of my heart.’
The ploughing metaphor, which we often find in the Bridal Songs, is then not just a general euphemism for sexual intercourse, but applied more specifically to the first penetration of the vagina. The young woman is compared to a field waiting to be rendered fertile, by the plough (i.e. the penis) driven by the bull (i.e. the man). It is in the context of marital intercourse that the male sexual role defines itself as the provider of fertility. The woman joyfully participates and declares her readiness ‘to be ploughed’. It is hardly a coincidence that the description of the vulva in the text above captures the stages of sexual excitement in the woman. At the beginning her vulva resembles the narrow curve of the new moon until it opens ‘like a boat with its mooring ropes’ (more likely to refer to the labia minora than pubic hair). Then there are several references to the transudation of the mucous membranes (‘well-watered low land’, ‘my vulva, a wet place’), at which point she cries out for the ‘plough’.
If one takes the setting of these lines within the context of a marriage ceremony into account, one could say that Inanna stands for the Bride, who rejoices in her vulva because it symbolizes and contains her new identity as a sexually active and hence reproductive woman. The transitional process is only completed when she gives birth to the first child (Cassin 1987:356). The Sumerian songs are phrased in such a manner as to emphasize the sensual pleasure the bride is to experience. In contrast to contemporary Bedouin societies of the Middle East, there seems to have been little value put on reticence and modesty in sexual matters (Abu Lughod 1986:107ff.). The bride flaunts the evidence of maturity (‘our parts have grown hair’, ‘our breasts are now standing out’) and take an interest in amatory arts (see the erotic fantasies in the Bridal Songs). She is portrayed as keenly anticipating the sensual experience of the marital bed. But we have to remember that Inanna’s role as the goddess of sexual love might also have influenced the explicit nature of these references. ... "

Arícia Silva - Vulva in the mangrove - Or, a Loa descending in a Haitian sacred grove; Buenos Aires, Argentina (2014)
In Sumeria the Vulva was omnipresent - not just during marriage but at a daily level - the sign for woman was a vulva.
This energy is missing today - and in the most part for most of human history - Sumeria was under the spell of an Amazon goddess - and the penis cage too:
" ... Not all songs or poems that mention the vulva, or the woman’s delight in her organ, refer to the wedding night. One must remember that the ideogram for ‘woman’ in the earliest cuneiform texts consists of the sign depicting the public triangle—just as ‘man’/‘male’ is represented by an ejaculating penis. This sign, SAL, could be read as munus, or mí (‘woman’), or as the syllable gal in the word gal4- la (‘vulva’). This identification of the part with the whole is also reflected in the Sumerian idiom: somebody who chases women is someone after the vulva (Gordon 1959:469, 512). Many other references to female sexuality concern the state of the vulva. In one song Inanna is introduced as the ‘vulva, the daughter-in-law’ (Alster 1992:23, lines 154, 157), and in the as yet unpublished disputation between two women, one pours scorn on the other, saying she was
‘A daughter of a poor man, no man appreciates her vulva’ (Alster 1975:98)
One bilingual Sumerian-Babylonian proverb has an ageing woman protest that she is still sexually desirable:
‘My vulva is (still) fine, although people say it’s finished with you’
(Lambert 1960:248)
while in another, a calculating woman muses:
‘Who is rich, who is wealthy, for whom shall I reserve my vulva?’
(Lambert 1960:227)
A poor man’s daughter who is unable to provide her with a dowry cannot capitalize on her main asset:
‘Her vulva is not valuable to her; she is a woman whom the man
With whom she lies down does not veil, who is not given as his wife’
(Gordon 1959:482).
A proverbial blessing for a young man includes an invocation to Inanna:
‘To cause a wife with a hot “lap” to lie down with you’ (Gordon 1959:115).
In the erotic love poetry the state of arousal is signalled by references to the vulva’s ‘wetness’, as we have seen in the bridal text quoted above:
‘My vulva is wet, [my vulva is wet],
I, the queen of heaven, [my vulva is wet],
Let the man on top [put his hand] on my vulva, Let the potent man [put his] hand on my vulva.’
(Alster 1993:20)
or, as in this balbal song to Nanaya, where she addresses her lover:
‘Do not dig a [canal], let me be your canal, Do not plough [a field], let me be your field, Farmer, do not search for a wet place,
My precious sweet, let me be your wet place!’
(Alster 1975)
Alster proposed that ‘beer is used as a metaphor for the moisture of the woman’s genitals’ when it is said that ‘like beer her vulva is sweet’ (Alster 1993:19), although the references to sweetness may refer more specifically to taste, as in this passage:
‘Like her mouth, her vulva is sweet’ (Alster 1985:133) ... "
Gwendolyn Leick, Sex and Eroticism in Mesopotamian literature (1994) at 93 -Unknown3492 Fernanda Lacerda - Vulva and ass by palm tree, Buenos Aires, Argentina (2014) In Sumeria semen was seen as toxic - The reason being it could cause unwanted pregnancy. I think most Sumerian sex was non-reproductive - or rather eros centered
- When after Dumuzi has plowed Innana's vulva she explains her "honey man" or her "horn" has "sprouted" - That's probably a reference to the female phallus which is very common in Roman hermaphrodite statuary.
Also there are repeated references to sprouting lettuce by the water. That's probably the sprouting of the Egyptian god Min's phallus which was associated with lettuce.
Sumerians also had a reference to the male vulva - the anus of the castrated gala :
" ... Just as the cuneiform sign for ‘vulva’ could stand for ‘woman’, the vulva is the epitome of a woman’s sexual identity. It seems to have predominantly positive associations; it is not feared or spoken of as shameful or contaminating. The nubile girl rejoices when her pubic hair appears. The bride can be introduced as the ‘vulva’ to her parents-in-law, Inanna lauds her genitals in a highly poetic style; indeed Inanna’s vulva was ‘holy’, rather like the Baubo (Devereux 1981). In so far as Inanna stands for the power of sexuality, the vulva is sacred as such. Interestingly, the penis of Enki (or Enlil) is never called kug, quite unlike the lingam of S.iva. According to the later omen-texts, semen was a highly polluting substance, whereas female exudations are said to taste sweet. The vulva is the instrument, the prime tool, of female sexuality; its various stages of excitement are carefully observed. While the phallus represented fertility, the vulva represented sexual potency and became the primary focus of Mesopotamian eroticism. ... "

On the taboo subject of Voodoo, Gwendolyn Leick's "Sex and Eroticism in Mesopotamian literature (1994)" has a chapter on Sumerian witchcraft - here is a partial excerpt: [We do not believe in demons and witches, but what does that matter when their effects are all around us?
There is also personal fate - Astrology- and collective fate or Karma. I believe in all of them ...
For example, like Dumuzi below family life is not in my Astrological birth chart - my Saturn is in the 4th house!
But like Dumuzi my libido on both ends is openly used and abused by higher powers! Female only though ...]
" ... Mantic texts cannot be separated from the corpus of cuneiform literature as ‘non-fiction’. Although we know little about the actual training process of incantation priests, diviners, exorcists and other professionals who aspired to the higher levels of their craft that were only accessible to the fully literate, it is unlikely that it excluded the study of a wide range of texts, as recurring literary clichés, for instance, demonstrate. We have so far only looked at incantations and rituals directly concerned with love and potency. We have seen that the context of love-magic allowed a much wider range of emotions to be expressed, such as envy, jealousy and possessiveness, whereas the traditional poetic medium only celebrated the joyful and positive aspects of love. If one looks at mantic texts generally, the subject of love and sexuality is treated from several perspectives and betrays considerable ambiguity.
Love incantations operate on the principle that emotions and behaviour can be magically manipulated. The right spell, the properly executed ritual, induce the desired person to come and surrender to the wishes of the magician’s client. But if the psychological state of amorous infatuation can be provoked by the enchantment of the ‘good’ magician, it can equally be inspired by evil forces. Love can be a symptom of possession, as we find in a passage of Maqlû, the Assyrian anti-witchcraft incantation series (Meier 1967):
Witchcraft, sorcery, bewitchment, evil machinations, Sinister deeds, rebellion, slander, love, hatred,
Mental instability (lit. changing from sympathy to hatred), Persecution mania, suicidal tendencies,
Speech disorders, changing temper, ‘Changing the heart’, vertigo, madness. .
In the first line we have several terms that are synonyms for sorcery. Then follow other antisocial activities, including love and hate. There follows an enumeration of symptoms, all concerning the mental state of the afflicted. In this respect the person bewitched, or the person who hates or loves, is equally liable to suffer these conditions. Love in this context is not only the result of enchantment, it is an ambivalent force itself.
But the machinations of witches can also affect the sexual health of individuals, causing loss of libido, inability to achieve satisfactory intercourse, veneral disease, etc.:
The witch who crosses the road, Enters houses,
Runs through the lanes,
Races across the square
She twists and turns,
Stops in the street and steps out (again)
Blocks the way.
She robs the handsome man of his vitality,
She takes the pretty girl’s ‘fruit’ (inibša),
With her glance she steals her sex-appeal (kuzubša). She looks at the young man, robs his vitality,
She looks at the girl, she takes away her ‘fruit’.
(III, 1–12)
The witch here destroys the basis of her victim’s sexual capacities; merely by looking at people she can extract their vitality, kuzbu and inbu are seen here not just as personal qualities, but as substances that can be taken away. It is also worth noting that the witch is portrayed here as a female who frequents public places, who does not, like respectable married women, stay at home. The prostitute, on the other hand, in order to carry out her trade, is a wa?itum, ‘one who goes out’.
The disruption of sexuality is a theme we also find in other literary texts. In one of the Sumerian hymns ascribed to Enheduanna, Inanna’s anger against her city has catastrophic effects for the people of Uruk:
‘Its rivers run with blood because of you,
Its troops were led off willingly (into captivity) before you. Its woman spoke not of love with her husband,
In the deep night she whispered not (tenderly) with him, Revealed not to him the innermost treasures.’
(Kramer in Pritchard 1975:126)
In the lamentation of Ibbi-Sîn, the divine ordinances (me) of Sumer are under attack:
That the canals may bring bitter water,
That the good corn fields only yield grass
That the steppe only produce the herb of woe
That the mother neglect the child,
That the father not call his spouse by her name.
That the concubine not rejoice in the lap (of the master), Children not grow up on her knees
The nurse not sing a lullaby.
(Falkenstein 1953:189)
Gula, driven from her temple, deplores her loneliness:
My house, where no happy husband lives with me,
My house where no sweet child lives with me,
My house, through which I, its mistress, never grandly pass, Never grandly pass, I which I dwell no more.
(Jacobsen 1987a:62)
The untimely death of Dumuzi is lamented particularly because he did not live to experience the joys of marital life:
My one who will never bring [betrothal gifts],
My one who [will never] carry [a wedding gift],
My one who [will never] make [love] [to a young wife], My one who [will never] beget [children].
(Jacobsen 1987a:36)
The galla-demons of the Underworld, who seek a substitute for Inanna after her Descent, are described as totally unlike human beings or gods:
They eat no food, know no water, Eat no flour sprinkled (as offering) Drink no water libated (as offering) Accept no pleasant greeting gifts
Fill not with pleasure the wife’s lap, Kiss not the child, the sweet thing.
(Falkenstein 1953:214)
These examples are sufficient to illustrate that a happy family life, defined by sexual fulfilment and the raising of children, was seen to be of fundamental importance. The young man, or in the other examples, the young girl, who dies before marriage, is mourned the more for never having achieved the full potential of human happiness. Siduri’s advice to Gilgameš defines it as the divinely decreed good fate allotted to mankind. Anything that threatens this ideal state of affairs is feared. In the religious texts this is interpreted as a punishment decreed by the gods for some sin or sacrilege. In mantic texts it is the work of malevolent spirits, demons or witches. In the omen texts a variety of random causes are held responsible. The disruption of harmonious family relationships also includes the lack of respect for parents, or their neglect towards young children, mutual mistrust, and even the selling, exposure and eating of children in times of severe stress and famine. Such subjects were systematically enumerated as symptoms of social disintegration.
Erotic fulfilment within marriage and the procreation of children were only part of sexuality. When Ištar disappeared in the Underworld
No bull mounted a cow, no donkey impregnated a jenny, No young man made love to a girl in the street,
The young man slept (alone) in his private room,
The young woman slept in the company of her (girl)friends.
(lines 76–80; Dalley 1989:158)
This passage does not refer to married couples specifically; in fact the wording suggests sexual activity in any context. A Sumerian incantation against the demon Samana is even more to the point:
As he blocked the menstruation of the young girl,
As he blocked the potency of the young man,
As he blocked the hierodule in (the performance of) her office, As he blocked the prostitute in her services,
Asarluhi sent a messenger to his father Enki.
(Falkenstein 1953:214–15)
In an Akkadian incantation against Šimmatu, the demon is described as a snake and scorpion, who bites and stings his victims:
You push the young man from the lap of the young woman, You push the young woman from the lap of the man.
(Von Soden 1974)
The long litany of afflictions that befall the ‘Righteous Sufferer’ in the Babylonian text include his loss of potency (Lambert 1960:34, 42–3). All these examples, to which many more could be added, show that sexual life per se, of the individual and of society at large, was under a potential threat from the wrath of vengeful gods or the malice of demonic forces. ... " Gwendolyn Leick, Sex and Eroticism in Mesopotamian literature (1994) at 220 -Unknown3496 Fernanda Lacerda - Vulva and ass, Buenos Aires, Argentina (2014) *** More on Sumerian witches. Inanna is out of balance - all female deity. Many African people have this problem and that's why we are the forgotten stepchildren of the planet.
" ... In the hymns and prayers it is Inanna/Ištar who represents and controls the me and garza of sexuality. She is in charge of sexual attraction (hi-li, la-la, kuzbu), of intercourse and kissing, she is the patron of brides, married woman and prostitutes, as well as of eunuchs and homosexuals. Her personality, which spans the roles of both genders, provides a unique frame of reference for all aspects of sexual behaviour. But whereas in other cultures the male and female elements complement and balance each other in symbolic union (e.g. Siva and Sakti in Hinduism, or Yin and Yang in Taoism), Inanna/ Ištar has no male counterpart, and we have seen that sexuality was generally considered the ‘art/work of women’. This fundamental lack of balance, expressed by the mythic persons of the goddess, entails a functional instability. I have mentioned that unpredictability was a divine prerogative generally, but the hymns extolling Inanna make this into a fundamental aspect of her character. She can switch from benignity to malevolence in an instant, regardless of whether the punishment was deserved or not (Sjöberg 1976:163; Hallo and van Dijk 1968). She can turn love to hatred and hatred to love, and, famously, ‘women into men, men into women’. As Brigitte Groneberg once noted, this capacity for gender-metamorphosis may have originally been symbolic, ‘um die Kluft der Polaritäten zu überbrücken’ (Groneberg 1985:44). The Sumerian sources (e.g. Inninšagurra or the Iddin-Dagan New Year Festival text) stress the ritual context of gender-role changes among normal people, as well as the possible integration of persons with some real genital malformations. These relevant passages all show a symmetrical or reciprocal gender-change:
She (Ištar) [changes] the right side into the left side, She [changes] the left side into the right side,
She [turns] a man into a woman, She [turns] a woman into a man, She ador[ns] a man as a woman, She ador[ns] a woman as a man.
(Sjöberg 1976:225)
However, in some of the Akkadian texts from the late second and first millennia, as well as from areas at the periphery of Mesopotamian culture, only the topos ‘who changes men into women’ remains. And in the context of the curse it no longer has anything to do with rituals, here it unequivocally means emasculation or castration:
Whoever shall change the settlement that Abdael made and will do evil against Yarimlim and his descendants—may the god Hadad dash him to pieces with the weapon which is in his hand. May Hebat-Ištar shatter his spear; may Ištar deliver him into the hands of those who pursue him; may Ištar . . impress feminine parts into his male parts.
The same motive is found in the Hittite military oaths, also as a punishment (Oettinger 1976:11). The Assyrian king Esarhaddon asks Ištar to punish his enemy and ‘change his manhood into a feminine (state)’ (Borger 1965:99)
.
During the Neo-Assyrian empire castration was practised routinely to provide personnel for the upper-class women’s quarters, as well as for civil servants whose sole loyalty was to the king, as they did not marry. Although we know that kurgarrûs and assinnu formed part of Ištar’s entourage, the concept of a castrating goddess is rare in Babylonian texts. In fact, it is alien to the Mesopotamian religious system and was probably an import from western Syria and the Levant, where, at least in Hellenistic times, the cult of the Dea Syria involved the self-inflicted removal of genitals in ecstatic rituals (Attridge 1976).
However, it is quite clear from the Assyrian mantic literature that Ištar and other deities associated with sexuality, as well as some of their cult personnel, prostitutes, and to some extent women in general, were seen to have an affinity with malevolent forces and evil magic. We have seen before that Ištar, with her unpredictable nature, could bless and curse with equal measure. Significantly, she became one of the major deities invoked in incantations against all manner of enchantment during the first millennium. There is a whole series of magical texts that feature both Ištar and Dumuzi.9 They were scheduled to take place in the month of Du’u-zu,
When Ištar causes the people of the land to weep for her lover Dumuzi. (Every) man’s family is assembled at an appropriate place (when) Ištar appears and deals with the affairs of people. She takes away disease and she causes disease. On the 28th, the day of the byre, you dedicate to Ištar a vulva of lapis lazuli with a little gold star. You pronounce the name of the diseased.
(AIIa, 3–10)
The other ritual offerings are described in great detail. Then Ištar is asked to intercede with Dumuzi that he may take away the affliction; and then Dumuzi is addressed, and finally Ištar herself again, in an exulting passage that describes her authority over the demons:
Without your permission the gallû demon cannot approach the patient (lit. the diseased), your envoy, the ‘binder’, cannot ‘bind’ the young man nor the young woman, (ibid.: 102–3) These texts continually emphasize the erotic relationship between Ištar and Dumuzi. Although her masculine qualities are included in the ‘litany’ of praise (e.g. 101: ‘the heroic one (...) who continually throws (enemies) down in the midst of battle’), her ‘love’ aspects are of great importance. The rituals also employ assinnus.10 But most significant for the topic under discussion is her intimate association with demons. They obey her command, to attack whomsoever she chooses, to be restrained by her word. She is a mistress over demonic beings, and this brings her very close to being one herself. There is, at least since the Old Babylonian period (see Inanna’s Descent), a definite link with the Underworld and its denizens. As she emerges from her captivity, she is accompanied by a host of demons who are under her control, and who eventually carry off Dumuzi. Dumuzi himself, by virtue of his temporary sojourn in the Netherworld, has connections with the realm of the dead. Now these rituals are said to take place exactly during the month when Dumuzi’s death was mourned. The mythological background of Ištar’s victory over death, her power over the Underworld demons and her erotic relationship with Dumuzi are particularly pertinent here. In the context of these rituals Ištar is the type of the dangerous, independent and ambivalent goddess, who is also the leader of a host of evil spirits, who slays and sends disease and suffering, but who, addressed properly and mollified by the ‘right’ kind of incantation, will use her supreme power to ward off her minions. The standard symbolic offering was a stylized, lozenge-shaped vulva,11 which illustrates the connection between sexuality and magic.
Other Ištar-like goddesses also had demonic aspects. In a bilingual hymn from the first millennium, Nanâ speaks of herself as having ‘heavy breasts in Daduni, a beard in Babylon’.
They call me the Daughter of Ur, the Queen of Ur, the daughter of the princely Sîn, she who goes round and enters every house,
a qadištum who holds the ordinances, she takes away the young man in his prime, she removes the young girl from her bedroom—still I am Nanâ.
(Reiner 1974:224)
These actions, ‘going round the houses’ (muterribat bita-ti) and causing the premature death of men and women, was typical for malevolent demons. Yet she asserts that she is nevertheless a goddess with a cult in several temples. The real evil demons, unlike types of guardian spirits, were not part of the official religion and did not receive any regular ritual offerings. Like the evil spirits, the tormented souls of the unburied, they are marginal supernatural beings, although they were recognized as part of the pantheon, and in fact some of the most fearsome demons were created by Anu or said to be his daughters. There was a certain fluidity in the malevolence of certain demons: some could be good or bad, and some obtained notoriety at a later historical period. Sickness demons, however, whose very names denote specific physical symptoms (ahhazu, ‘the grasper’— jaundice; namtar, ‘the fateful one’—epidemics; bennu—‘fits’, ‘epilepsy’; unna, ‘fever’ etc.) were always evil. Especially feared was Lamaštu, a female demon, ‘Anu’s young daughter’, who was held responsible for the death of mothers in childbirth, as well as illnesses of babies, which reflects the very real dangers of post- partum infections and infant mortality. A number of texts with incantations and appropriate rituals formed part of the professional responses to this problem, there were also amulets, and some of them depict Lamaštu as a fearful female, with the head of a lion, the body of a donkey and pendulous breasts, suckling a pig and a dog.14 Other female demons were specifically associated with the night, the Lilitu and Ardat-lilî.15 Another interesting example is Kilili, ‘who sits by the window’ (ša apata ušarru). She ‘drags the young man from the marriage chamber, makes the young woman leave the bedroom’, the standard expression of sexual envy (Farber 1977:79). One bilingual text, published by Landsberger (1968:44– 5), actually characterizes the Ardat-lilî as a virgin:
Maid who (un)like other women no man impregnated, Maid, who (un)like other women no man deflorated,
Maid, who in the lap of a husband had not had her sexuality
touched,
Maid, who in the lap of the husband did not remove her
clothes,
Maid, whose pin was never loosened by a handsome man, Maid in whose breasts was never (any) milk.
This passage is eloquent testimony that the social value of the state of chastity was just as ambiguous as that of its opposite, uncontrolled, ‘free-lance’ sexual activity. The virginal demon, deprived of an outlet for her kuzbu, steals the sexual attraction of others. These beings, like succubi, are the demonic personifications of sexual predatoriness. When they have no mate, they chose one among human men. When they have intercourse with their victim he can become infected with a dangerous or fatal illness. Some prey on couples who make love on the flat roof on a hot summer’s night. They cannot have offspring, so they snatch the foetus and the newborn child. All evil demons are hostile to health and vitality, they will try and sap the manifestations of life. The demons of the night specifically subvert reproductive sexuality and destroy its fruit, the unborn child. Some late Mandaic texts from Syria, where the concept of demonic sexuality was developed much further, also envisage a sort of inverted or demonic form of impregnation which ensures the continued existence of Lilû-like demons. In these texts, the old West Semitic love-goddess Astarte seems to have fused with the Mesopotamian Lilû to personify the predatory, aggressive female sexuality (Fauth 1985). We have seen that Ištar too has affinities with demons: she is sometimes described as Kilili, or even Lamaštu. In these late texts the independent, female and erotic deities are dangerous, unpredictable and able to promote, as well as harm, human sexuality and fertility. The behaviour of parasitic demons, who attack the reproductive functions and kill small children, is structurally similar, although an exaggeration of its negative effects. If the love-goddesses can operate like evil demons, evil demons can also avail themselves of sexuality by seducing their victims or draining their sexual energy.
Another infernal aspect of erotic possession was the so-called betrothal or marriage with a dead person. Sometimes this was believed to have been ritually engineered by a witch who would make a figurine of her victim and place this effigy in the lap of a corpse in a symbolic sexual union (Abusch 1989:31). As a result, the bewitched person was united with the e?emmu, the spirit of this dead man and woman, a union which would eventually end in her or his own death. There are rituals to deal with some situations, involving a kind of (wedding) banquet for the spirit and his family (Oberhuber 1972:81).
Ištar, in spite of her unpredictability and her dark side, was still one of the cosmic deities, decidedly one of the ‘great gods’, and she could be appealed to turn her force against the enemy, against evil, against malicious spirits unequal to her power. On a more mundane level, her human followers, the prostitutes and devotees, the asexuals and transvestites, commanded rather less awe. We have found the assinnu officiating in magic rituals, but it is hard to say to what extent this was due to his sexual status. The ethnographic data on the Indian Hijra included the widespread view that their curses were feared and their blessings sought, especially in respect to the hope for healthy and normal offspring. But we find the ku’lu, the assinnu, the qadištu, the ištaritu and the kulmašitu, as well as the harimtu, among the persons likely to engage in sorcery and witchcraft (Maqlû III, 40–61). I think this was not only because their behaviour was generally ‘considered deviant’ (Rollin 1983:39), but because their livelihood depended to some extent on their sexual services, or their sexual status. ...

- Mami Wata or Yemonja also requires offerings - the myth is she gives or leaves expensive gifts with her lovers then later asks for their return.
- Yemonja is also associated with non-reproductive sex like Innana - Sex for the sake of eros. But she also has a large snake, which to me is a large female phallus! Another reason that semen was seen as toxic the the Sumerians besides unwanted pregnancy probably has more to do with loss of libido - like Romans caged the phalli of gladiators to preserve their vigor. Also the penis cage greatly increased female lust ... and created the female phallus - The subject of the penis cage or Fibula is taboo - but the Romans seemed to get over their natural inclinations. - They were Trojans and Asia Minor was the world center of the aggressive female phallus -Unknown3498 Cidiane Freitas for Sexy magazine -Unknown3499 More vulva - Cidiane Freitas for Sexy magazine

But it was not always like that everywhere - Burton reminds us that the Fon Amazons has procedures to enhance the vulva and ancient Romans remind us that the Ethiopian vulva came with a large clitoris. The vulva worship of ancient Sumeria is almost certainly African derived :
" ... Celibacy may not have been a particularly severe hardship for foreign-born amazons from ethnic groups that practiced excision, euphemistically called female circumcision, in which the labia and sometimes the clitoris too are sliced off. Such operations, performed from infancy to adolescence , deprive women of the possibility of sexual pleasure. ... The Fon in fact had a custom that produced the opposite effect: artificial elongation of the vagina lips, which heightened the joy of sex.
In the late eighteenth century both Dalzel and English ship captain John Adams reported the unusual custom among the women of Dahomey. Three-quarters of a century later Burton wrote that labial elongation was so common that "a woman in the natural state is derided by others". He also suggested that the clitoris too was artificially enlarged. ... "

.. I've come to the conclusion that the sacred fire that the Roman vestals were guarding was a female phallus that grew out of the aroused vulva !
" ... Vesta ... is the virgin goddess of the hearth, home, and family in Roman religion. She was rarely depicted in human form, and was often personified by the fire of her temple in the Forum Romanum. Entry to her temple was permitted only to her priestesses, the Vestals, who tended the sacred fire at the hearth in her temple.
.... The myths depicting Vesta and her priestesses were few, and were limited to tales of miraculous impregnation by a phallus appearing in the flames of the hearth - the manifestation of the goddess.
... Depicted as a good-mannered deity who never involved herself in the quarreling of other gods, Vesta was ambiguous at times due to her contradictory association with the phallus. She was the embodiment of the Phallic Mother: she was not only the most virgin and clean of all the gods, but was addressed as mother and granted fertility. Mythographers tell us that Vesta had no myths save being identified as one of the oldest of the gods who was entitled to preference in veneration and offerings over all other gods. Unlike most gods, Vesta was hardly depicted directly; nonetheless, she was symbolized by her flame, the fire stick, and a ritual phallus (the fascinus).
.... Concerning the status of Vesta's hearth, Dionysius of Halicarnassus had this to say: "And they regard the fire as consecrated to Vesta, because that goddess, being the Earth and occupying the central position in the universe, kindles the celestial fires from herself." Ovid agreed, saying: "Vesta is the same as the earth, both have the perennial fire: the Earth and the sacred Fire are both symbolic of home." The sacred flames of the hearth were believed to be indispensable for the preservation and continuity of the Roman State: Cicero states it explicitly. The purity of the flames symbolised the vital force that is the root of the life of the community. It was also because the virgins' ritual concern extended to the agricultural cycle and ensured a good harvest that Vesta enjoyed the title of Mater ("Mother"). ... " Wikipedia

" ... Inanna’s relationship with her brother has special importance in the context of Bridal Songs. He is closely involved in her nuptial arrangements and some texts are set in dialogue between brother and sister ...
... Thus she presents herself to the brother and breaks out into a song of admiration for his ‘most pleasing and radiant sister’.
‘Bring in my bridegroom,
Let him come, let him come,
Let him bring fine butter and cream’
she urges the brother who escorts her into the chamber. Then follows a song which sounds like a quotation from a much older source, a traditional wedding song:
‘Now my breasts stand up,
Now hair has grown on my vulva,
Going to the bridegroom’s loins, let us rejoice!
O Baba, let us rejoice over my vulva!

The lagoon and marsh situation of southern Mesopotamia contributed to the formation of the primary symbol of the Eridu system, the fertile and fertilizing Abzu. Further north, in the alluvial plain, the vista is dominated by a huge sky and the wide, flat earth. Consequently, the duality of Sky and Earth features more prominently in the works associated with the city of Nippur, the home of the Sumerian national god Enlil:
Heaven was born of its own accord, Earth was born of its own accord. Heaven was abyss (=ENGUR), Earth was abyss.
(Lambert 1981:219)
Heaven and Earth are here both regarded as prima materia and generators of life; this is made explicit by the fact that they are both equated with the symbol ENGUR. In this particular passage Heaven and Earth emerge at the same time, but other texts make one exist before the other. In the god-list An=Anum, for example, Earth existed before Heaven: An, the sky-god is said to be the offspring of Earth (here Uraš, masculine) and Earth (Ninuraš, feminine). The division of Earth into a couple recalls the scholarly redaction of the Enuma eliš and the pair Tia-mat-Apsû.
A genealogy of Enlil also considers the Earth as the source of all life but uses the maternal, agricultural metaphor: ‘Earth where barley sprouted’, generating life on her own accord (Lambert 1981:220). In another text, however, Enlil and his consort Ninlil derive descent from an ancestral and rather shadowy couple, Enki and Ninki.
Sometimes Sky comes first. So we read in a text that traces the ancestry of the toothworm:
After Anu [had created heaven], Heaven had created Earth, Earth had created rivers, rivers created canals, canals created the marsh, the marsh created the worm.
(Heidel 1951:72)
However, one does get the impression that the composer of this text was not very particular about the exact order of cosmic events; he rushes to get to the aetiological point of his narrative. Since ‘Sky’ could also stand for the deity An, whose position in the Mesopotamian pantheon was that of a patriarch of all gods, the text might refer here to the hierarchical structure of command rather than a cosmological proposition.
The third variation, which is in fact more widespread than any of the other two, has Heaven and Earth joined in primordial unity. But unlike the artificial distinction between Apsû and Tia-mat or Uraš and Ninuraš, who both symbolize the same element, the difference between Heaven and Earth exists in reality; they are seen as complementary opposites. In Mesopotamian cosmology, the earth is floating above water (the abzu) and the vault of the sky is suspended like an inverted bowl above her. But this could only take place after their initial union had been broken. The separation of Heaven and Earth became the first dynamic event in cosmogony. In some aetiological myths this deed is ascribed to Enlil (in the myth about the Pickaxe), but the text does not elaborate on how this was achieved. In Gilgameš, Enkidu and the Netherworld, ‘Anu took over the Sky and Enlil the Earth’; this refers to a political division of spheres of influence rather than a cosmic event (Kramer 1944:33– 7). The most elaborate description of the separation of Heaven and Earth occurs in the Enuma eliš, when Marduk splits the body of vanquished Tia-mat in two halves like an oyster, then lifts the upper part to form the sky while the lower part becomes the earth. The Babylonian composition manages to weave both cosmogonic models into one coherent sequence of events: the separation of Heaven and Earth signals the beginning of Marduk’s organization of the world. As a demiurge he assigns to the planets their courses, fashions rivers and mountains, and creates mankind. The forceful separation is also alluded to in the Hurrian myth of Ullikummi, where the implement used to cut them apart is of some importance to the plot (Güterbock 1951–2).
Heaven and Earth, irrespective as to the manner of their original state, united or not, are sometimes described as a couple. This is a practically universal metaphor, but one that had comparatively little currency in Mesopotamia. It occurs in an archaic text from about the middle of the third millennium, a small fragment of a larger composition (van Dijk 1964:34ff.). The language is metaphorical and the interpretation of the passage remains provisional. The vulva of Earth is mentioned, and a hole in the earth is to be filled with water. An, the Sky, ‘stood up like a young man (and) An and Ki roared together’.
More explicit, indeed highly lyrical, is the ‘Disputation between Wood and Reed’, another essentially aetiological composition (van Dijk 1964:45).
The great Earth (Ki) made herself glorious, her body flourished with greenery.
Wide Earth put on silver metal and lapis-lazuli ornaments, Adorned herself with diorite, calcedony, cornelian and
diamonds.
Sky (An) covered the pasture with (irresistible) sexual
attraction, presented himself in majesty,
The pure young woman (Earth) showed herself to the pure
Sky,
The vast Sky copulated with the wide Earth,
The seed of the heroes Wood and Reed he ejaculated into her
womb.
The Earth, the good cow, received the good seed of Sky in her
womb.
The Earth, for the happy birth of the plants of Life, presented
herself.
Like a young bride, Earth reveals herself in all her splendour to Sky. An makes love to Ki and pours his ‘fluid’ into her body. The sign a can stand for water as well as for male semen; in this cosmic act of sex the sperm of Sky is the rain falling on the Earth, a rare motif in Mesopotamian mythology, as Lambert justly noticed. It is also interesting that the Mother symbolism in Mesopotamian thought is more often related to the watery element (Nammu), as a source of all life and fertility, than the Earth, who in this part of the world only yields fruit when irrigated. ...

According to Wikipedia " ... Shango (Yoruba language: Xàngó, also known as Changó or Xangô in Latin America; and as Jakuta or Badé) is an Orisha, a deity in Yoruba religion. Genealogically speaking, Shango is a royal ancestor of the Yoruba as he was the third Alaafin of the Oyo Kingdom prior to his posthumous deification. Shango has numerous manifestations, including Airá, Agodo, Afonja, Lubé, and Obomin. He is known for his powerful axe. He is considered to be one of the most powerful rulers that Yorubaland has ever produced.
In the New World, he is syncretized with either Saint Barbara or Saint Jerome.
Xàngó was the third Alafin of Oyo, following Oranmiyan and Ajaka. He brought prosperity to the Oyo Empire. According to Professor Mason's Mythological Account of Heroes and Kings, unlike his peaceful brother Ajaka, he was a powerful and violent ruler. He reigned for seven years which were marked by his continuous campaigns and many battles. His reign ended due to his inadvertent destruction of his palace by lightning. He had three wives, namely Queen Oshun, Queen Oba, and Queen Oya. The Oyo Empire fell into civil war in the 19th century. It lost Ilorin when the Fulani and Hausa soldiers of the Afonja led a successful revolt.
Some of the slaves brought to the Americas were Yoruba, one of the various ethnic groups drawn into the Atlantic Slave trade, and they brought the worship of Xàngó to the New World as a result. Strong devotion to Xàngó led to Yoruba religions in Trinidad and Recife, Brazil being named after the deity.
In Yorubaland, Xàngó is worshiped on the fifth day of the week, which is named Ojo Jakuta. Ritual worship foods include guguru, bitter cola, àmàlà, and gbegiri soup. Also, he is worshiped with the Bata drum. One significant thing about this deity is that he is worshiped using red clothing, just as he is said to have admired red attire during his lifetime.
Xàngó is viewed as the most powerful and feared of the orisha pantheon. He casts a "thunderstone" to earth, which creates thunder and lightning, to anyone who offends him. Worshippers in Yorubaland in Nigeria do not eat cowpeas because they believe that the wrath of the god of iron would descend on them. The Xàngó god necklaces are composed in varying patterns of red and white beads; usually in groupings of four or six which are his sacred numbers. Rocks created by lightning strikes are venerated by Xàngó worshipers; these stones, if found, are maintained at sacred sites and used in rituals. Xàngó is called on during coronation ceremonies in Nigeria to the present day
Xàngó is venerated in Santería as "Chango". As in the Yoruba religion, Chango is the most feared god in Santería.
In Haïti, he is from the "Nago" Nation, and is known as Ogou Chango. Palo recognizes him as "Siete Rayos".
Shàngó is known as Xangô in the Candomblé pantheon. He is said to be the son of Oranyan, and his wives include Oya, Oshun, and Oba, as in the Yoruba tradition. Xangô took on strong importance among slaves in Brazil for his qualities of strength, resistance, and aggression. He is noted as the god of lightning and thunder. He became the patron orixa of plantations and many Candomblé terreiros. In contrast Oko, the orixá of agriculture, found little favor among slaves in Brazil and has few followers in the Americas. The main barracão of Ilê Axé Iyá Nassô Oká, or the terreiro Casa Branca, is dedicated to Xangô. Xangô is depicted with an oxê, or double-sided ax similar to a labrys; and a brass crown. ...

Francisco José Alves, the carnival producer known as Kiko Alves, 49 years old, died this Saturday (25th), around 1pm at a health unit in Realengo, in the West Zone of Rio. He was taken there by his family at night on Friday (24) with an allergic attack, and a lot of coughing. The condition was diagnosed as pneumonia, said his niece Liberia Torquato, confirming his death. According to him, there is still no information about wake and burial.
The niece also stated, in an interview with G1 , that her uncle leaves a legacy of love for the popular festival that consecrated him.
"What remains is the love he always had for the carnival, for this great party".
Kiko Alves became famous at the Rio de Janeiro carnival as a discoverer of beauties. He took muses such as Thatiana Pagung, Nani Venâncio, Viviane Araújo and Renata Frisson, known as Mulher Melão, to the Marquês da Sapucaí fashion shows. In her profile on a social network, she expressed her sadness.

Enoli Lara, the first woman to parade completely naked at the Marquês de Sapucaí, lamented the passing of Kiko Alves: "I have always admired him for what he did to many famous women today. He contributed a lot to the Dionysian party and lived in carnival rhythm throughout the year. whole".
Thatiana Pagung, who was the drum queen of the Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel, remembers how she met him and laments his passing. "I met Kiko in 2002 through Zé Reinaldo. We started by going to Alzirão in the 2002 World Cup, and as I was a muse, in the 2003 carnival we paraded. Then I started to be better known. I was already an actress and paraded, but after parading with Kiko became a muse and a queen.".
Kiko was born in Ceará, but came to Rio as a child. He started at Carnival at the age of 15, parading through Padre Miguel's Mocidade Independente, according to his niece, his school of heart, despite admiring, having friends and having paraded in all associations. ...

Also sacred - My current theory is Roman girls got a "prodigiosa Venus" at 13 or the start of puberty from an Isis cult - the myth of Iphis. There are many statues of young girls with a female phallus on page 150 of this website.

As I elaborate further on page 156 (Plate 289) Ovid associated Thebes, Egypt with Tiresias and Hermaphroditus. Plate 289
Hermaphroditus was the girl and woman with a penis - developed at night during the festivals of bacchus where women developed the emblem of Priapus - or a large dildo that was used on catamite men or men in the penis cage.
Tiresias was the blind but all seeing prophet - who like Homer had clairvoyance or second sight - developed from the working on the anima or the male's "inner sun". Tiresias was forced to live as a woman for 7 years by Hera who cursed him for interfering with 2 snakes having sex ... The Roman penis cage or Fibula forced the development of the female side ...

Suzy Cortez is a fitness model, TV host, and the winner of the Miss BumBum contest. ...
Born in Campinas, a small town just outside Sao Paulo, Brazil, Suzy Cortez was always an athletic youth. She found joy in running, spending most of her childhood doing so. As a result, she was a fairly lanky young woman, with a rather slender physique.
This would end up being a detriment, as Cortez began to figure out what she wanted to do in her life. From an early age she was interested in becoming a television personality, wanting to eventually become a host for TV shows. In an effort to follow this dream, she would start hitting the gym, looking to sculpt her physique and get an appearance that she felt would earn her a place in this realm.
Knowing that she needed some experience to becoming a TV personality, Suzie Cortez started to pursue efforts as a fitness model. She started off with small gigs, working on building her physique to what it needed to be. It was only after she won the 2015 Miss BumBum event, that her career began taking off.
Following her success here, Suzy became something of an overnight sensation. Her online presence began to grow, with hundreds of new followers by the day. She was able to use this success to model for a variety of brands on her Instagram, while sharing her own fitness tips to help her more than 2 million followers reach their own goals. She has been in multiple publications, most notably Playboy Magazine, and most recently transitioned to a career on OnlyFans. ...
Additionally, Cortez was able to achieve her goals of appearing on television, finding her niche in soccer. She represented the Russian team at the World Cup in 2014, being chosen from a variety of 40 other models. Her love for soccer has led to a recurring role for Russia’s team, while appearing as a sports host on Brazilian television programing.
By far, the most impactful moment in the career of Suzy Cortez has to be competing at the 2015 Miss BumBum contest. This event originated in Brazil, and as the name suggests, it determines who has the best behind in the country. After working hard on getting physique, to a place that made her happy, she decided she would enter the contest.
This would not be a decision that she regretted either, as Suzy would win the event easily, and in doing so maximize her exposure in Brazil and worldwide. Moreover, her victory led her to the aforementioned modeling and television opportunities. She would then return to the Miss BumBum in 2019, this time representing Brazil on a global scale. Again she would win, reestablishing her place as one of the most curvy women on the planet. ... " fitnessvolt -Unknown3593 Enoli Lara - Musa, União da Ilha (1989) " ...

She decided to pose topless by sending a message this Tuesday, on International Human Rights Day, to talk about the feuds created between women at the biggest Brazilian party
"A beautiful day also to talk about sorority at Carnival. A day in which we can unite to truly assert the 'moved with one, moved with all'. The day that we will show everyone that, regardless of the pavilion, that we are not enemies , we're sisters. Say what you want, because if there's one thing a woman can do, it's to reign! And by supporting each other, we can do much more," she began, who posed with her breast exposed.
She recently spoke about her seven years at Viradouro. “I believe that each number has a vibration and its significance. Number seven is magical and perfect. I believe, and I am sure, that we will have a great and beautiful carnival, with number seven giving us a lot of luck! In addition, we have a strong community and with a lot of work, we will go in to look for the title”, explains the Queen who, together with her association, will defend the plot Viradouro de Alma Lavada .
But all this confidence in Raissa is not just based on the number, as she also considers herself a queen of hot-foot drums. “I'm queen of two championships, with memorable shows. In the first year in charge of the drums, I made my debut as a champion. And we came from a vice with the taste of a champion.”, says the brunette, referring to the 2019 carnival, in which the school in Niterói lost by a tenth to Estação Primeira de Mangueira. ...

"I never minded having great luxury in my fantasy. I've always looked for my comfort. There are things that don't have any need, it goes with my taste. I prefer to show my samba no pé", affirmed the queen.

(2020) Discover the trajectory of the current Queen of Carnival in Rio de Janeiro
The art of samba is something that every person who likes a good samba desires. After all, there is nothing more enchanting than a samba no pé. Seeing the dancers, muses and queens samba on the school courts giving a show is fascinating.
And when we talk about samba no pé, it's impossible not to remember Camila Silva. Today, the current queen of Rio de Janeiro's Carnival, Camila has a history with experience in major samba schools in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and has also taken her samba no pé around the world.
Camila took her first steps in the world of samba at the age of 7 as a junior queen at the Combinados de Sapopemba samba school - a school in the neighborhood where she lived her childhood and at age 15, she was consecrated drum queen for the first time. Between that period at the school in the East Zone, at age 12, Camila was the juvenile queen of the Flor de Vila Dalila school.
Between the ages of 15 and 19, Camila was at Leandro de Itaquera, where she paraded through the wing of the dancers, and was also a gold dancer. At the age of 20, she was crowned drum queen of Nenê de Vila Matilde, where she reigned for one year and, in 2008, already on the Barra Funda side, she paraded with a prominent floor for the Camisa Verde e Branco. The following year, Camila then went to Vai-Vai, where she reigned for 10 years in charge of the Pegada de Macaco drums. Also in 2009, she was elected queen of the São Paulo Carnival, representing the Vai-Vai samba school.
And so, her career as a samba dancer continued to grow. Camila took her samba to the lands of Rio de Janeiro, where she was invited by the carnival artist Alexandre Louzada to be queen of the drums at the Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel samba school. That's how, in 2013, she debuted at Marquês de Sapucaí. In 2014, it came once again on the Rio runway. This time, as a muse in Portela. At that time, Camila was already trailing her story in the Rio Carnival, which surrendered to her samba and charisma.
In 2017, the samba dancer returned to Mocidade Independente and, once again, paraded the front of the drums “No Existe Mais Quente”.
In 2019, Camila said goodbye to her post as queen at Vai-Vai, and dedicated her career as a samba dancer in Rio de Janeiro. That same year, Camila was crowned Queen of the Stockholm Carnival, Sweden, taking her samba to the world. The following year, in 2020, representing the Paraíso do Tuiuti samba school, she was elected queen of the Rio Carnival. However, the fact that Camila is from São Paulo generated revolt in some participants, but wherever the samba dancer went, she was cheered by the people in the stands, which proved how much her charisma had conquered the Cariocas. ...

The Anhembi sambadrome was taken over by the red, yellow and white of Tom Maior. The 3,100 members of the school, divided into 23 wings and five floats, told the story of the development of São Bernardo do Campo, considered today the largest automobile hub in São Paulo.
The Tibiriçá Indian tribe, the first residents of the São Paulo plateau, was the theme of the school's open-wing car, followed by the “Jesuits” wing and the impeccable drum set by master Carlão, entitled “Colonizador”. Queen Andreia Gomes stirred the audience alongside her godmother Adriana Bombom, drawing applause and sighs from the stands.

" ... The potomitan (also spelled poteau-mitan, poto mitan, poto-mitan, or pòtòmitan: Haitian Creole: "central pole" - from the French: poteau, "post", and mitan, an archaism for "half") is an essential structural feature of the hounfour (temple) in Haitian vodou. Occupying the central position in the peristyle (sacred space at the centre of the hounfour / oufo), the potomitan takes the form of a decorated wooden post (occasionally a living tree) by means of which, it is believed, the loa descend to earth to inhabit, for a time, the bodies of the faithful through spirit possession.
The structure consists usually of the whole trunk of a palm tree, being fixed to the ground by a masonry pedestal commonly known as a socle and attached at the top to the roof of the temple. A potomitan is often painted with designs in bright colours, featuring usually the motif of two intertwined serpents, symbolizing the primordial male and female divine couple Damballa and Ayida Weddo who, according to the cosmogony of the Haitian religion, support the sky, preventing it from crumbling and falling to earth. Taken its entirety, however, the ritual post represents the deity Papa Legba, the gatekeeper or messenger of the loa, without whose intercession communication with the realm of the divine would be impossible.
Sacrifices are carried out regularly to sanctify the structure and honour the deity, either at the foot of the potomitan itself or at the base of the socle - most notably prior to voodoo ceremonies proper - in order to keep it a fit conduit for the transmission of the divine powers.The potomitan constitutes a ritual representation, in a specifically Haitian context, of the axis mundi and, more specifically the world tree. ...

" ... Kievan Rus' ... was a loose federation of East Slavic, Baltic and Finnic peoples in Eastern and Northern Europe from the late 9th to the mid-13th century, under the reign of the Rurik dynasty, founded by the Varangian prince Rurik. The modern nations of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine all claim Kievan Rus' as their cultural ancestors, with Belarus and Russia deriving their names from it. The Rurik dynasty would continue to rule parts of Rus' until the 16th century with the Tsardom of Russia. At its greatest extent, in the mid-11th century, it stretched from the White Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south and from the headwaters of the Vistula in the west to the Taman Peninsula in the east, uniting the majority of East Slavic tribes.
According to Rus' Primary Chronicle, the first ruler to start uniting East Slavic lands into what has become known as Kievan Rus' was Prince Oleg (879–912). He extended his control from Novgorod south along the Dnieper river valley to protect trade from Khazar incursions from the east, and moved his capital to the more strategic Kiev. Sviatoslav I (died 972) achieved the first major expansion of Kievan Rus' territorial control, fighting a war of conquest against the Khazars. Vladimir the Great (980–1015) introduced Christianity with his own baptism and, by decree, extended it to all inhabitants of Kiev and beyond. Kievan Rus' reached its greatest extent under Yaroslav the Wise (1019–1054); his sons assembled and issued its first written legal code, the Russkaya Pravda ("Rus' Justice"), shortly after his death.[10]
The state began to decline during the late 11th century and the 12th century, disintegrating into various rival regional powers. It was further weakened by economic factors, such as the collapse of Rus' commercial ties to the Byzantine Empire due to the decline of Constantinople and the accompanying diminution of trade routes through its territory. The state finally fell to the Mongol invasion of the 1240s.
... During its existence, Kievan Rus' was known as the "land of the Rus" ... , in Greek as ?ωσ?α, in Old French as Russie, Rossie, in Latin as Rusia or Russia (with local German spelling variants Ruscia and Ruzzia), and from the 12th century also as Ruthenia or Rutenia. Various etymologies have been proposed, including Ruotsi, the Finnish designation for Sweden or Ros, a tribe from the middle Dnieper valley region. According to the prevalent theory, the name Rus', like the Proto-Finnic name for Sweden (*Ruotsi), is derived from an Old Norse term for "the men who row" (rods-) as rowing was the main method of navigating the rivers of Eastern Europe, and could be linked to the Swedish coastal area of Roslagen (Rus-law) or Roden, as it was known in earlier times. The name Rus' would then have the same origin as the Finnish and Estonian names for Sweden: Ruotsi and Rootsi.
The term Kievan Rus' .... was coined in the 19th century in Russian historiography to refer to the period when the centre was in Kiev. In English, the term was introduced in the early 20th century, when it was found in the 1913 English translation of Vasily Klyuchevsky's A History of Russia, to distinguish the early polity from successor states, which were also named Rus. ...
... Prior to the emergence of Kievan Rus' in the 9th century AD, the lands between the Baltic Sea and Black Sea were primarily populated by eastern Slavic tribes. In the northern region around Novgorod were the Ilmen Slavs and neighboring Krivichi, who occupied territories surrounding the headwaters of the West Dvina, Dnieper, and Volga Rivers. To their north, in the Ladoga and Karelia regions, were the Finnic Chud tribe. In the south, in the area around Kiev, were the Poliane, a group of Slavicized tribes with Iranian origins, the Drevliane to the west of the Dnieper, and the Severiane to the east. To their north and east were the Vyatichi, and to their south was forested land settled by Slav farmers, giving way to steppelands populated by nomadic herdsmen.
Controversy persists over whether the Rus' were Varangians or Slavs, with the current scholarly consensus holding that they were an ancestrally Norse people that quickly assimilated into Slavic culture. This uncertainty is due largely to a paucity of contemporary sources. Attempts to address this question instead rely on archaeological evidence, the accounts of foreign observers, and legends and literature from centuries later. To some extent the controversy is related to the foundation myths of modern states in the region.
While Varangians were Norse traders and Vikings, some Russian and Ukrainian nationalist historians argue that the Rus' were themselves Slavs (see The Anti-Normanist debate). Normanist theories focus on the earliest written source for the East Slavs, the Primary Chronicle, which was produced in the 12th century. Nationalist accounts on the other hand have suggested that the Rus' were present before the arrival of the Varangians, noting that only a handful of Scandinavian words can be found in modern Russian and that Scandinavian names in the early chronicles were soon replaced by Slavic names. Nevertheless, a fact is the close connection of Rus' with the Norse, which is confirmed by both extensive Scandinavian settlement in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine as well as Slavic influences in the Swedish language. Considering the linguistic arguments mounted by nationalist scholars, if the proto-Rus' were Norse, they must have quickly become nativized, adopting Slavic languages and other cultural practices. ...
... Ahmad ibn Fadlan, an Arab traveler during the 10th century, provided one of the earliest written descriptions of the Rus': "They are as tall as a date palm, blond and ruddy, so that they do not need to wear a tunic nor a cloak; rather the men among them wear garments that only cover half of his body and leaves one of his hands free." Liutprand of Cremona, who was twice an envoy to the Byzantine court (949 and 968), identifies the "Russi" with the Norse ("the Russi, whom we call Norsemen by another name") but explains the name as a Greek term referring to their physical traits ("A certain people made up of a part of the Norse, whom the Greeks call [...] the Russi on account of their physical features, we designate as Norsemen because of the location of their origin."). Leo the Deacon, a 10th-century Byzantine historian and chronicler, refers to the Rus' as "Scythians" and notes that they tended to adopt Greek rituals and customs. But 'Scythians' in Greek parlance is used predominantly as a generic term for nomads. ... " Kievan Rus, Wikipedia

Seventeen years after it was removed from bookshops for its racist content, the children's story Little Black Sambo has made a comeback in Japan.
The tale of Sambo, a boy who uses his wits to survive after being stalked by tigers, was a hit in Japan when it was first published here in 1953.
In 1988, Japanese booksellers agreed to remove it from their shelves after a US-led campaign against its racist language and imagery.
Last April, Zuiunsha, a small publisher in Tokyo, decided to reissue the book - under its Japanese title Chibikuro Sambo - reckoning that today's children would be as enchanted by the book as their parents were.
The gamble has paid off. About 100,000 copies of the 30-page book have been sold in the past two months and it has made it into the top five on the adult fiction bestsellers' lists at big bookshops in the capital.
The publisher brushed aside claims that it was cashing in on a work that many consider racist, with its depictions of Sambo - a derogatory word for black people - with bulging eyes and exaggerated lips.
In the late 1890s Helen Bannerman, a Scot, wrote Little Black Sambo for her children while they were living in India.
"Times have changed since the book was removed," Zuiunsha's president, Tomio Inoue, told the Guardian. "Black people are more prominent in politics and entertainment, so I don't think this book can be blamed for supporting racial stereotypes. We certainly had no intention of insulting black people.
"Sambo is a brave boy who gets his reward at the end of the story. He fights the tigers using his brain so that he won't get eaten. It's an exciting story and children love it. I hope people will see it the same way."
Few protests have been voiced in Japan, which has a very small black community, although an online campaign against the book attracted messages from a few people, mainly Americans. "We have replied to all of them in English explaining our position and have heard nothing back, so I think they understand," Mr Inoue said. ... " Justin McCurry, The Guardian

When she was still a little girl in São Leopoldo, in Rio Grande do Sul, she was already moved by the drums of the blocks and samba schools. She admired the Carnival muses from afar, finding it all very far from her reality. Until in 2013 she got the first opportunity for Gil Jung . The model, actress and presenter, who one day dreamed of parading through a samba school, soon debuted as a drum queen. The result? "It was wonderful, I loved it, I fell in love. It was a dream come true and an emotion I never imagined feeling in my life. It's an energy, something that cannot be explained with words, just feeling", melts the beauty, who never left the Avenue again.
The body and beauty that caught everyone's attention in hot scenes recorded for the soap opera Sol Nascente are fundamental requirements to be a drum queen. But Gil thinks that something more is needed to perform the job perfectly: "I've always liked to be different, to bring art along with sensuality to the Avenue. I think sensuality is cool, but never free."
Parading in Rio de Janeiro for the Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel and in São Paulo for the Nenê de Vila Matilde, Carnival for her starts in the middle of the year. "I go to all the rehearsals, since June, at least once a week, to learn and understand the samba-enredo, to be able to pass this art that I like, right?"
The revelry marathon makes it split between two cities. On Saturday, she parades as queen of the drums of Nenê de Vila Matilde. The next day, she goes to Rio de Janeiro, where she is the muse of the Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel. The love for the São Paulo school is unquestionable, but the heart beats faster when stepping on the Passarela do Samba: "I love Nenê! all those people... My God, it's incredible! It's the biggest party in the world!"
If rehearsals start months in advance, the concern with the body is no different. "The ideal is to start three months before",she guarantees. Involved with work, she says she spent fifteen days without being fully focused on working out. But no one can say! The girl continues with more than perfect measurements, the result of a daily dedication. "I work out all year round, I only intensify it on the eve of Carnival. As the rehearsals are more rigid, the training ends up being too". Food accompanies discipline at the gym and at rehearsals. "I go low on carbohydrates, preferably zero. Lots of greens, water, eggs, protein." Whenever she can, Gil takes a lunch box with healthy options for her day-to-day commitments .
When she was in Rio de Janeiro due to work commitments, Gil took the opportunity to exercise outdoors and invested in functional training. "There's nothing better than training on the beach. You go beyond your limits and my coach knows how to take advantage of that when it's time to demand more from me. On top of that, after training, I still get an invigorating swim in the sea and I leave brand new, ready to go to battle", she says.
'Carnival is work'
What for many is fun and one of the most relaxed moments of the year, for Gil Jung it's a craft: "It's a lot of work. Before the parade, there's concentration. The parade ends and you're dead! It's a lot of energy. The clothes burn , I always go out burnt. I leave the avenue and I just want a bath and bed. The next day, I already have to go to Rio. It's a rush. I don't even have the strength the next day, I'm so tired. I enjoy the beach more to rest because It's really heavy, really hard. Sometimes I even stop by a cabin to enjoy it. But on the days I parade, there's no way to enjoy it, no." Dedicated, she doesn't even take her boyfriend to Carnival commitments: "I'd rather go alone. Take the focus off, it's work. Better enjoy another time.", she decrees. Claw, beauty and discipline fit for a queen! ...

It leaves the skin brighter and enhances the muscles. It's time to show the result of the workout - jokes the muse. Located in the second sector of the school, Fernanda Pedrosa will represent Senhora das Folhas, the nature that heals physical and spiritual pain. Despite being evangelical, the digital influencer sees no problem in representing leaves used in the Afro-descendant religion: - We must respect all religions. I feel good in the Evangelical Church, but I have Buddhist friends, spiritualists, atheists. Religious intolerance is an ignorance that only breeds division, war. God is love and respect for others and defends beauty. The costume that Fernanda will parade on the Passarela do Samba is signed by the stylist from Minas Gerais Patrícia Nascimento and is valued at R$ 100 thousand, due to the hundreds of original Swarovski crystals and pheasant feathers. … “ Extra, Ricardo Rigel *** (July 20, 2022) 2022 seems to have been an Oxalá year - Again the Yoruba sky god Oxalá or Obatala is usually a man!

With more than 20 years of Carnival, the samba singer understands that the queens need to occupy a space where their voices have more value than their bodies displayed in the parades. “Women need to be heard more, especially queens, who are often seen only by their bodies. I, in 2019, got to represent an African warrior and received so much positive feedback after the parade that I was very honored. It is important to let us, black women, speak, and show everything that we experience”, said Ketula. The beauty was the first Muse of Caldeirão do Huck, in 2003, and reigned at the head of Porto da Pedra's percussionists in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2017. She was also Queen of Rio's Carnival in 2008. The real notion of her relevance in these positions, however, only came later: “I am very happy to represent so many girls. In my time, we didn't have a social network and I didn't see the importance of a black queen as I do today”. Ketula revealed that, when she started in samba, she was inspired by former Globeleza Valéria Valessa, who found her elegant, and by dancer Janaína, from Viradouro. She also told how the famous leg move, nicknamed 'Ketulan', came about. “I think samba is about feeling and when you don't feel and transmit this truth, the people understand. I felt that I needed to create something different, it's not just the samba, it's you feeling the heart of the school. Until one day I threw my leg and they named it 'Ketulano'.

Her costume was a bikini – well behaved by today's standards. As she arrived late in the concentration, the way was to change clothes in front of whoever wanted to see. “I got naked and nobody did anything. There I saw how they respected me at school,” says Fábia. Daughter of the flag-bearer Juju Maravilha, the queen of the drums of Unidos da Tijuca began to frequent the world of samba at the age of 5, as a child dancer at Beija-Flor, her mother's first school. Jealous, Juju wanted her daughter around in rehearsals, which forced the girl to samba in front of the drums. “My mother was right to be worried. I've had this body since I was 13 years old”, says she, who keeps in shape with an hour a day on the treadmill and another hour on a stationary bike. With Juju going to Unidos da Tijuca, the daughter's coronation was natural. “Fábia is not a queen of free drums, she is an old component of the school”, says the carnival artist Paulo Barros. At this stage, Fabia's life took a turn. Raised in Baixada Fluminense, she worked at a tourism agency when she met a Spanish toy businessman who was on vacation in Rio. She says that in less than a year, she got married and moved to Madrid, where she worked as a sales promoter for his firms until 2003. Then she became a housewife. “I continue to accompany him on business trips, but I stopped working because he wants children”, says she, who hopes to fulfill this dream in two years. “I already told my doctor that I want twins,” she says. Today, Fábia only comes to Brazil during Carnival and almost always with her husband – whose name she does not provide. It is because of him that the semi-naked muse of Sapucaí says she never accepted to take her clothes off for men's magazines: “People from Tijuca say it would be good to publicize the school, but my husband wouldn't like it”. … “ terra- LUÍS EDMUNDO ARAÚJO 1999 - Unknown4289 Viradouro - 2015 - Unknown4290 Ketula Mello - Musa - Imperatriz Leopoldinense (2019) - Unknown4291 Musa- Portela (2002) A member of the Portela samba dance group performs the second day of carnival parades at the Sambodromo in Rio de Janeiro 12 February 2002. - Getty - Unknown4292 Lexa - Rainha de bateria - Tijuca (2020).

The evening parades mark the third weekend of technical rehearsals at the Sambadrome. The night began with the passage of Mocidade, which brings, this year, the theme “Land of my sky, stars of my floor”, by carnival artist Marcus Ferreira, newcomer to the association. With reference to the legacy of artists from Alto do Moura, disciples of Mestre Vitalino, the school will be the third to parade on Carnival Sunday, February 19th. “Here comes the drums of Mocidade Independente!” echoed on the avenue, marking the entrance to the samba catwalk, around 9 pm. Between cangaceiro hats, frevo parasols and costumes in intense and shiny green — the school's trademark —, Mocidade raised a full bleachers of revelers who accompanied the classic samba in loud and very good sound. It was 10:30 pm when it was Mangueira's turn to enter the samba catwalk. With a shout of warning, “Mangueira has arrived” with weight and beauty for the rehearsal. The atmosphere was that of an official parade among the people of Mangueirense. On drums, all components wore only green-and-pink shorts and white body paint. Among the highlights, brightness and charm made reference to the axé of Oxum and Oyá, orixás mentioned in the samba plot. This year's plot is a journey through the Afro processions of Bahia, from the cucumbis of the times of slavery to the current afoxés and blocks, until arriving at the axé. The school returns once again to northeastern lands 21 years after the victory with the plot “I will invade the northeast”.

But, before that, she accompanied her father, master of ceremonies at Império da Tijuca, or her grandmother who went out at Estácio de Sá. It was her grandmother who recommended the junior school "Nova Geração da Estácio" for Carol to take her first steps towards becoming a passista. It worked out so well that she became the child drumming queen of the children's group. Afterwards, she was invited to join the wing of dancers at São Clemente, at the age of 12. When they saw Carol in a street rehearsal, she was invited to also parade in Paraíso do Tuiuti, which at the time was a school of the access group. Carol paraded through the two associations.

She ruled during a period of rapid growth in the African slave trade and encroachment of the Portuguese Empire into South West Africa, in attempts to control the slave trade.

Seated on a charging elephant, Aindri, is depicted dark-skinned, with two or four or six arms. She is depicted as having two or three or like Indra, a thousand eyes. She is armed with the Vajra (thunderbolt), goad, noose and lotus stalk. Adorned with variety of ornaments, she wears the kirita mukuta. “ Wikipedia *** “…. Indrani , also known as Shachi , is the queen of the devas in Hinduism. Described as tantalisingly beautiful, proud and kind, she is the daughter of the asura Puloman and the consort of the king of the devas, Indra. According to legend, due to her heavenly beauty and sensuality, Indrani was desired by many men, many of whom tried to marry her. When Indra was away performing his penance for the slaying of Vritasura, Nahusha, a mortal king of the Lunar dynasty, was chosen as the ruler of heaven. The latter tried to seduce Shachi and make her his queen, though she cleverly executed a scheme to dethrone him and later reunite with her husband. Indrani (or Aindri) is also one of the Sapta Matrika—the seven divine mothers. She is an important goddess in Shaktism, a major sect of Hinduism. Indrani is rarely worshipped as an independent deity and is most often worshipped with Indra throughout India. She is also a goddess in Jainism and Buddhism, mentioned in their texts. Like many Vedic goddess-consorts whose names are derived from their husband's name by adding a feminine termination, the word Indrani is derived from Indra and means 'wife of Indra'. Importantly, however, Indra is known by his wife's name as well; he is often referred to as Shachipati (husband of Shachi), Shachindra (Shachi's Indra), or Shachivat (possessor of Shachi). Shachi is a prominent other name of Indrani. According to Sir Monier Monier-Williams, it means 'speech', 'power of speech', or 'eloquence'. It is derived from the Sanskrit word shach, which means 'speak', 'say' or 'tell'. Shachi is also associated with the word shak, meaning 'power', 'strength', 'action' or 'exploit'. David Kinsley, a professor known for his research on Hindu goddesses, believed that the word Shachi is suggestive of the later concept of Shakti, the personification of power. Other scholars use 'divine grace' as the translation of Shachi. … “ Wikipedia Unknown4613 “ … 02/18/2023 - CARNIVAL RIO 2023, GOLD SERIES SAMBA SCHOOL PARADE - Members of the Em Cima da Hora School of Samba … “ - Alamy Unknown4614“ … Rio de Janeiro - 02/18/2023 - CARNAVAL RIO 2023, GOLD SERIES SAMBA SCHOOL PARADE - Laynara Telles Queen of the Imperio da Tijuca Samba School … “ - Alamy Unknown4615 “ 02/20/2023… With a daring look, Aline Campos enjoyed the first night of fashion shows at Marquês de Sapucaí, on Sunday (19/2). … “ Karol Gomes, Daniella Magalhães - metropoles Unknown4616 “ … A member of Unidos de Vila Isabel Samba School performs during the parade at 2019 Brazilian Carnival at Sapucai Sambadrome on March 04, 2019 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. ...“ Getty Unknown4617 Viviane Araujo - Rainha de Bateria, Salgueiro (2023) Unknown4618 Juh Campos - Rainha da Bateria da Barroca Zona Sul (2023) Unknown4619 Juh Campos - Rainha da Bateria da Barroca Zona Sul (2023) Unknown4620 “ … RIO 2023, SERIE DE ORO SAMBA SCHOOL PARADE - Members of the Niteroi Samba Academic School during a presentation at the SERIE DE ORO parade in Rio de Janeiro at the Marques de Sapucai Sambadrome this Friday (17) … “ Alamy Unknown4621 Lore Improta - musa, Unidos do Viradouro (2023) Unknown4622 Lore Improta - musa, Unidos do Viradouro (2023) Unknown4623 Lore Improta - musa, Unidos do Viradouro (2023) Unknown4624 Lore Improta - musa, Unidos do Viradouro (2023) Unknown4625 Lore Improta - musa, Unidos do Viradouro (2023) Unknown4626 Carnaval de Salvador , Bahia - 2018 Unknown4627 Carnaval de Salvador , Bahia Unknown4628 Carnaval de Salvador , Bahia Unknown4629 Carnaval de Salvador , Bahia Unknown4630 Carnaval de Salvador , Bahia Unknown4631 Carnaval de Salvador , Bahia ( 2018) Unknown4632 “ … Rio De Janeiro, Brazil . 21st Apr, 2022.

Joana Prado's Sorceress, who wore an odalisque outfit and long platinum hair, exploded onto the now-defunct program "H", presented by Luciano Huck on Band.

In the 2000s, she played the character Sorceress and became a sex symbol . "People ask me if I get angry when someone asks me about my Sorceress phase. No, I don't get angry. I talk about the Sorceress very coolly, because it was a very difficult moment for me", she said.
She now has a loving look at the past. She said that she even talks to her children, shows them photos and remembers her "attributes" with pride. "I prepared my psychologist very well. I suffered, I cried, but I had a lot of fun during the Sorceress season. I grew up, I matured, I show photos to my children. I say, especially to my girls: look at mommy's butt, I wish I had a butt like that nowadays, but at 45 it's harder (laughs)." In the end, she said that although she doesn't feel anything bad about the past, that phase has passed. “Anyway, I don't have any problems, none at all. I just think I have much more interesting things to talk about and share with you. Today I'm in a really cool phase: I have three wonderful children, a blessed husband, I have Jesus in my heart, who is the master of my life, and that everything I do is based on biblical principles. I am not perfect and I am far from being. I make mistakes every day, I ask God for forgiveness every day, but I follow the path of Christ. I manage several businesses here in the USA and some in Brazil. So, guys, want to talk about Feiticeira, I mean it coolly, but I have a lot more interesting things to share with you."

Oxum is Xangô's second wife and represents wisdom and feminine power. Furthermore, she is seen as the goddess of gold and the game of cowrie shells. She is the goddess of the river Oxum (or Osun) which is located on the African continent, more specifically in the Southwest of Nigeria.
The figure of Oxum carries a mirror in his hand. Some people confuse Oxum and Oxumarê, but according to Umbanda and Candomblé they are different deities. Oxum represents the goddess of beauty , orisha of love , fertility and motherhood , responsible for protecting fetuses and newborn children, worshiped by women who want to get pregnant. Her element is water, her color is yellow and her day is Saturday . The orixás are ancestors deified by Candomblé, a religion brought from Africa to Brazil, during the 16th century, by the Yoruba people. Among the various orixás is Ogun, owner of iron and fire, defender of law and order, opens paths and wins fights, protecting the weakest. There is also Exu, he is the lord of principle and transformation, he is the most important figure in Yoruba culture, the guardian of villages and cities. Due to religious racism, Exu was associated with Satan, a Christian entity focused on evil, who is dedicated to sowing discord among human beings, but this association does not make sense, since in religions of African origin there is no figure representing evil. Iansã is a warrior, queen of storms, winds and lightning, and Iemanjá, goddess of the seas and oceans, greatly celebrated in Brazil by people of different religions. She is the patron saint of fishermen and also the goddess of love. In Brazil, each orixá was associated with a saint of the Catholic Church, in a practice that became known as religious syncretism. Oxum is syncretized as Nossa Senhora da Conceição , Nossa Senhora Aparecida or Nossa Senhora das Candeias , depending on the region of Brazil, and her date is December 8. History of Oshun She is one of Xangô's wives , along with Iasã and Obá. Being the deity that represents wisdom, feminine power and fertility, Oxum wanted to know the secrets of Ifá (oracle), but her father did not allow it. Oxum seduced Exu and managed to learn these secrets, becoming the guardian of the oracle's knowledge. Another legend also says that Oxum believed it was unfair that only male orixás discussed what was important to human beings. The orixá then suspended fertility throughout the world, making the other orixás see her importance and start calling her into discussions. She is known to her children as mother or mother Oxum . She is the orixá who suffers with those who face difficulties and tries to help them. Types of Oshun Equipe da Enciclopédia Significados *** My guess is Oxum is maybe like Demeter - Demeter grabbed phallic power from Zeus in exchange for re-starting the harvest - Zeus surrendered Aphrodite and the phallus of a Ram - or the phallus of Ptah to Demeter at the rites of Eleusis! That would explain the Amazon vibe of the Carnaval …Exu was seduced by Oxum - and maybe penis locked by her too - There are reports of females stealing the instruments of creation away from the male primordials - and one of those instruments is the erect phallus! Or the Egyptian “Ka” With the Fon of Benin it was more explicit - the Dahomey Amazons worshipped Legba - the Fon Exu - and his erect phallus - which became an Amazon icon … Unknown4762 Fabíola Andrade, rainha da Mocidade (2024) Unknown4763 Viviane Araújo - Rainha da bateria do Salgueiro (2024) Unknown4764“ … RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - FEBRUARY 11/ Rafa Kalimann performs during the Imperatriz Leopoldinense parade in 2024 Carnival parades at Sapucai Sambodrome … “ Getty Unknown4765 Tati Minerato - Rainha de Bateria da Porto da Pedra (2024) Unknown4766 Tati Minerato - Rainha de Bateria da Porto da Pedra (2024) Unknown4767 The Ouroboros ! “ … A member of the Unidos do Viradouro samba school performs during the last night of the Carnival parade at the Marques de Sapucai Sambadrome in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on February 13, 2024. … “ Getty Unknown4768 Érika Januza - Rainha de Bateria da Viradouro (2024) Unknown4769 Evelyn Bastos - rainha de bateria da Mangueira (2024) Unknown4770 Bianca Monteiro, rainha de bateria da Portela (2024) Unknown4771 Bianca Monteiro, rainha de bateria da Portela (2024) Unknown4773 Evelyn Bastos - rainha de bateria da Mangueira (2024) Unknown4774 Evelyn Bastos - rainha de bateria da Mangueira (2024) Unknown4775 Evelyn Bastos - rainha de bateria da Mangueira (2024) Unknown4776 Evelyn Bastos - rainha de bateria da Mangueira (2024) Unknown4777 Evelyn Bastos - rainha de bateria da Mangueira (2024) Unknown4778 Evelyn Bastos - rainha de bateria da Mangueira (2024) Unknown4779 Unidos do Viradouro (2024) “ … Viradouro is Rio Carnival champion with plot about serpent worship MANAUS – Viradouro is the champion of Rio de Janeiro Carnival.

(May 7, 2018) Just ordered a new book about the last African slave brought to the United States: "Barracoon: The Story of the Last Black Cargo " by Zora Neale Hurston. Apparently some of the Dahomey (Benin) warriors who raided his village and sold him into slavery were Dahomey Amazons(N'Nonmiton) "Barracoon" has been sitting in the Howard University archives since the 1940's because it was initially rejected for publication. " ... In 1927, Zora Neale Hurston went to Plateau, Alabama, just outside Mobile, to interview eighty-six-year-old Cudjo Lewis [Oluale Kossula] Of the millions of men, women, and children transported from Africa to America as slaves, Cudjo was then the only person alive to tell the story of this integral part of the nation’s history. Hurston was there to record Cudjo’s firsthand account of the raid that led to his capture and bondage fifty years after the Atlantic slave trade was outlawed in the United States. ... In 1931, Hurston returned to Plateau, the African-centric community three miles from Mobile founded by Cudjo and other former slaves from his ship. Spending more than three months there, she talked in depth with Cudjo about the details of his life. During those weeks, the young writer and the elderly formerly enslaved man ate peaches and watermelon that grew in the backyard and talked about Cudjo’s past—memories from his childhood in Africa, the horrors of being captured and held in a barracoon for selection by American slavers, the harrowing experience of the Middle Passage packed with more than 100 other souls aboard the Clotilda, and the years he spent in slavery until the end of the Civil War. Based on those interviews, featuring Cudjo’s unique vernacular, and written from Hurston’s perspective with the compassion and singular style that have made her one of the preeminent American authors of the twentieth-century, Barracoon masterfully illustrates the tragedy of slavery and of one life forever defined by it. Offering insight into the pernicious legacy that continues to haunt us all, black and white, this poignant and powerful work is an invaluable contribution to our shared history and culture. ... " Amazon.com I've been wondering where the huge Amazon vibe to Samba comes from. - Dahomey Amazons is probably a solution to this problem. Up to 1/3 of the Dahomey military was Amazon. But its more than that: the king was surrounded by an elite female guard. In order to get to the king you had to go through the Amazons first. It's like the Mamelukes in Egypt or the Eunuchs in China - the Amazons were the de facto rulers of Benin. The link between the Dahomey Amazons and Brazil is explicit. I was reading accounts of Dahomey slaves specifically designated for the Brazilian market. There's a continuous history there. When you add in the religious dimensions of Yemonja and Oxum and Mami Wata its not hard to see the bond of Samba to the Yoruba world. " ... King Houegbadja (who ruled from 1645 to 1685), the third King of Dahomey, is said to have originally started the group which would become the Amazons as a corps of elephant hunters called the gbeto. ... Ghezo recruited both men and women soldiers from foreign captives, though women soldiers were also recruited from free Dahomean women, some enrolled as young as 8 years old. Other accounts indicate that the Mino were recruited from among the ahosi ("king's wives") of which there were often hundreds. Some women in Fon society became soldiers voluntarily, while others were involuntarily enrolled if their husbands or fathers complained to the king about their behaviour. ... The Mino took a prominent role in the Grand Council, debating the policy of the kingdom. From the 1840s to 1870s (when the opposing party collapsed), they generally supported peace with Abeokuta and stronger commercial relations with England, favouring the trade in palm oil above that in slaves; this set them at odds with their male military colleagues. [Wikipedia on Annual Customs of Dahomey: " ... The Annual Customs of Dahomey (xwetanu or huetanu in Fon) were the main yearly celebration in the Kingdom of Dahomey, held at the capital, Abomey. These ceremonies were largely started under King Agaja around 1730 and involved significant collection and distribution of gifts and tribute, human sacrifice, military parades, and discussions by dignitaries about the future for the kingdom. ... Tradition amongst the Fon in Western Africa, and among other ethnic groups, often had ceremonies in family lineages where all members of the family would gather for a feast, provide gifts to the eldest member of the family, and discuss issues pertaining to the family. As part of the religious Vodun practiced in the area, gifts and sacrifices to the spirits and ancestors would also be given. King Houegbadja (c. 1645-1685) changed this widespread practice during his reign by making it so that sacrifices or gifts to spirits would have to be done by the king. King Agaja (1718-1740) further centralized the ceremonies under the king and the royal dynasty. Under Agaja, the Annual customs became the central religious ceremony in the kingdom, wide participation by most of the population was required, all family lineages were expected to provide gifts and tribute (sometimes considered taxes) to the ruler, and aspects of animal and human sacrifice were added to the practice. The traditional family lineage ceremonies were not allowed in the kingdom until after the royal ceremony was completed.After Agaja the ceremony grew larger, longer and more lavish by future kings. ... The Annual Customs involved multiple elaborate components and some aspects may have been added in the 19th century. In general, the celebration involved distribution of gifts, human sacrifice, military parades, and political councils. Its main religious aspect was to offer thanks and gain the approval for ancestors of the royal lineage. Another function of the Annual Customs was to raise money for the royal family and the kingdom as a whole. Based on the traditional customs of gift-giving to eldest members of lineage lines, the population of the kingdom provided gifts or paid tribute to the king. The king would then display the riches as a sign of the accomplishments of his administration. The wealth was provided and displayed not simply to enrich the kingdom but also to gain the approval of the ancestors. After the display, significant amounts of the gifts were redistributed to the population. Since Dahomey was a significant military power involved in the slave trade, slaves and human sacrifice became crucial aspects of the ceremony. Captives from war and criminals were killed for the deceased kings of Dahomey. During the ceremony, around 500 prisoners would be sacrificed. As many as 4,000 were reported killed in one of these ceremonies in 1727. Most of the victims were sacrificed through decapitation, a tradition widely used by Dahomean kings, and the literal translation for the Fon name for the ceremony Xwetanu is "yearly head business". In later years this ceremony also included the spilling of human blood from the sacrificed. Related with this, there was also a significant military parade in the ceremonies that further displayed the military might of the kingdom of Dahomey. One additional aspect was that the Annual Customs also included a prominent structure for discussion and debate about public policy in the kingdom. In this respect, scholar John C. Yoder has argued that the customs "served a political function similar to that of parliaments in Western countries", although still far from the open contests in democracies. The Great Council would convene at the annual customs and bring together important leaders from throughout Dahomey to discuss national policy. The Great Council included a large segment of the population and included women. Debate and discussion would be extensive; low ranking-officials could publicly rebuke high-ranking ones. In the end the king would end the debate by declaring consensus. In addition, when a king died, his successor would have to include a significant ceremony in his honor to finish the funeral rites. Until such sacrifices and ceremonies were performed, it was considered that the new king was not approved by the spirits of the ancestors. Items associated with the Customs are preserved at the Abomey Historical Museum, in the Royal Palaces of Abomey." ... Wikipedia] The women soldiers were rigorously trained, given uniforms, and equipped with Danish guns (obtained via the slave trade). By the mid-19th century, they numbered between 1,000 and 6,000 women, about a third of the entire Dahomey army, according to reports written by visitors. The reports also noted variously that the women soldiers suffered several defeats. ... The Dahomey kingdom was often at war with its neighbours, and captives were needed for the slave trade. The Dahomey women soldiers fought in slave raids, and in the unsuccessful wars against Abeokuta. ... European encroachment into West Africa gained pace during the latter half of the 19th century, and in 1890 King Béhanzin started fighting French forces in the course of the First Franco-Dahomean War. European observers noted that they "handled admirably" in hand to hand combat, but that they did not know how to use their flintlocks.The Amazons participated in one major battle: Cotonou, where thousands of Dahomey (including many Amazons) charged the French lines and engaged the defenders in hand-to-hand combat. Despite the compliments given to them by the Europeans, the Amazons were decisively crushed, with several hundred Dahomey troops being gunned down while 129 Dahomey were killed in melee combat within the French lines. The French lost 5 men killed and a few dozen wounded.According to Holmes, many of the French soldiers fighting in Dahomey hesitated before shooting or bayoneting the Amazons. The resulting delay led to many of the French casualties. By the end of the Second Franco-Dahomean War, special units of the Amazons were being assigned specifically to target French officers. ... The troops were disbanded when the kingdom became a French protectorate. *** (Sep 4, 2018) However, the Dahomey Amazons may have survived in some form in Haiti. For example, the head of the private militia of the Haitian dictator "Papa Doc" Duvalier, the Tonton Macoutes, was a woman - Madame Max Adolphe, as was a large percentage of the Tonton militia. Also, Duvalier was surrounded by strong women like his wife and daughters. It was not possible to meet Duvalier without going through his personal secretary - a formidable woman, as another example. Also, Papa Doc's successor, "Baby Doc" reluctantly accepted the job after his elder sister was rejected by his fathers ministers. According to Wikipedia: " ... Madame Max Adolphe (also known as Max Rosalie Auguste and Rosalie Bosquet), born in September 1925, was the right hand woman of former Haitian president François Duvalier, who used the nickname "Papa Doc". Adolphe, then known as Rosalie Bosquet, came to the attention of Duvalier during an attempt on his life. While she was a low ranking officer in the Tonton Macoute, her courage impressed the President so much that he promoted her to the position of warden at Fort Dimanche. At the prison, Adolphe continued her strong support of the government and was known for her violent interrogations of political prisoners. She was not viewed as a political threat to the President because of her sex. Also see the documentary: " Whicker's World François "Papa Doc" Duvalier." This documentary asserts that the most important god in Voodoo is - Baron Samedi, the god of death. While this may have been true in Duvalier's Haiti, it is not generally true. In mainstream Voodoo, Legba, the god of the sun and the phallus is more important. However, it seems that Duvalier was actively promoting himself as an avatar of Baron Samedi. *** According to Descriptions of Various Loa of Voodoo Ghede: (Papa Ghede) Ghede is the eternal figure in black, controlling the eternal crossroads at which everyone must someday cross over. His symbol is the cross upon a tomb. Known as the spirit of death, other spirits fear him and try to avoid him. He operates under the direction of Baron Samedi. Baron Samedi represents the death side of Ghede (Guede). He talks through his nose, is cynical, jovial, and tells broad jokes. His language is full of the unexpected. His tools are the pick, the hoe, and the spade. He is the power behind the magic that kills. He controls the souls of those who have met death as a result of magic. When he appears (mounting someone at an invoking ceremony), he wears a pair of dark glasses, from which he knocks out the right lens: for with his right eye he watches those present, lest anyone steal his food. Of especial interest is the testimony of Ghede; for when this god mounts his carriers, they are bereft of any sense of self, behave and speak compulsively, and recover knowing nothing of what they did or said. Loa of death, sexuality, and keeper of the cemeteries. He is enamored of women, makes constant use of obscene words and songs, and performs obscene dances. When someone is mounted by Guede they put on a black undertaker's coat, a black top hat and stuff cotton in their ears and noses, this to symbolize a dead person. After they are dressed up they must then perform the banda dance, an erotic dance in which one imitates the movements of copulation. The Guedes live in cemeteries and visit Catholic churches at night. On November 2 the faithful visit cemeteries and light candles in honor of Baron Samedi. Papa Guede is a much loved loa because his appearance always brings laughter and joy, singing and dancing; he is usually the last to appear at a ceremony. He is the loa of death and resurrection; is known as a total clown; loves cigarettes; is often seen smoking two at a time. He is neither good nor evil, but he is amused by humans and that's why he jokes around so much. Ghede is sort of to the underworld or afterlife what Legba is to life--he who controls access. Ghede controls access to everything in the afterlife. We are reminded by him that our understanding of death and life is limited and that both are beyond our comprehension. Ghede is also god of eroticism. Eroticism is beyond good and evil since it is inevitable. Ghede is neither delighted by eroticism, and certainly not shamed by it. If anything, Ghede is amused by the universal presence of eroticism and humans' constant need to pretend that it is other than what it is. It is believed that his obscenity in sexual matters is an affirmation of life in the midst of death. Saturday is his day and his color is black. His favorite foods are salt herring, hot peppers, roasted corn, and roasted bananas, and he is known for stealing food and hiding it, and then demanding more. Black goats and chickens are the animal sacrifices made to him during the rituals. When Ghede mounts someone he often singles out people who pretend to be aloof from eroticism. He ridicules them, embarrasses them, exposes them (in more ways than one). He is especially hard on whites since they often have the puritanical sexual attitudes of western culture. Ghede is also often called BARON SAMEDI. In this aspect he is DEATH. He is the keeper of the cemetery and the primary contact with the dead. Anyone who would seek contact with the dead must first contact and solicit Ghede/Baron Samedi in the same way that Legba is contacted to cross over to the spirit world. Ghede has a ravenous appetite for food and drink and doesn't mind manifesting them when he mounts someone. He has a dread of fire and shares the characteristic of a nasal voice with zombis. Ghede is a clown, an interrupter, a coarse fellow. He wears formal black attire and a high silk hat with dark glasses and a cane. He smokes cigarettes and drinks rum. Likes to mount young girls. When he is pleased, he's quite a clown, but hard to handle when angered. But he is history too. As keeper of the cemetery he has intimate contact with the dead. He knows what their plans were, what's going on in families, what the connections of things are. And he is quite generous with his information. Even when he is clowning or performing his erotic antics, if you can pull him aside and ask him a serious question you will get a serious and reliable answer. Another of Ghede's great powers is as the protector of children. Ghede generally does not like to see children die. They need a full life. Thus he is the loa to go to when seeking help for a sick child. Ghede has the power over zombies and decides whether or not people can be changed into animals. Any such black magic voodoo must seek the help of Baron Samedi/Ghede with these tasks. Lastly, since Ghede is the lord of death, he is also the last resort for healing since he must decide whether to accept the sick person into the dead or allow them to recover. ... " *** (Sept. 10, 2018) Baron Samedi is probably an African version of the Greek god being celebrated in the Roman coffin above: Dionysus. Like Dionysus he is associated with rowdy sexuality as well as the the sarcophagus. Also, like Dionysus, he is associated with the aristocracy. The first association that entered my mind when I discovered him was the Vampire Lestat from Anne Rice's "Interview with the vampire." He is also probably a solution to the skull fetish that was very evident among the Dahomey amazons in the 19th century. According to Wikipedia: " ... Baron Samedi (French: Baron Saturday) also written Baron Samdi, Bawon Samedi, or Bawon Sanmdi, is one of the loa of Haitian Vodou. Samedi is a loa of the dead, along with Baron's numerous other incarnations Baron Cimetière, Baron La Croix, and Baron Kriminel. He is syncretized with Saint Martin de Porres. He is usually depicted with a top hat, black tail coat, dark glasses, and cotton plugs in the nostrils, as if to resemble a corpse dressed and prepared for burial in the Haitian style. He has a white, frequently skull-like face (or actually has a skull for a face), and speaks in a nasal voice. The former President for Life of Haiti, François Duvalier, modeled his cult of personality on Baron Samedi; he was often seen speaking in a deep nasal tone and wearing dark glasses. Baron Samedi is the leader of the Guédé, loa with particular links to magic, ancestor worship and death.These lesser spirits are dressed like the Baron and are as rude and crude but not nearly as charming as their master. They help carry the dead to the underworld. As well as being master of the dead, Baron Samedi is also a giver of life. He can cure any mortal of any disease or wound, if he thinks it is worthwhile. His powers are especially great when it comes to vodou curses and black magic. Even if somebody has been afflicted by a hex that brings them to the verge of death, they will not die if the Baron refuses to dig their grave. So long as this mighty spirit keeps them out of the ground, they are safe. *** On First Looking into Chapman's Homer Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold, *** - " A woman gets possessed by Gede next to a cross dedicated to Baron Samedi, in the National Cemetary of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on All Saints' Day Nov. 1, where festivities continue through Nov., 2, the day of the Dead."

- The reason for the high rate of human sacrifice during the annual Customs of Dahomey celebrations probably had more to do with providing the N'Nonmiton (king's wives) with a chance to prove their warrior spirits then with propitiating dead Dahomey kings: " ... A French delegation visiting Dahomey in 1880s reported witnessing an Amazon girl of about sixteen during training. The records note that she took three swings of the machete before completely removing the head of a prisoner. She wiped the blood from her sword and swallowed it. Her fellow Amazons screamed in frenzied approval. It was customary in the region as warriors of the time to return home with their heads and genitals of opponents. ... " Meet the Most Feared Women in History (The body count always went up after the death of a Dahomey king. This was probably linked to one-on-one human sacrifice by all members of the N'Nonmiton - from fresh initiates to elderly queens.) - Furthermore, designation as a wife of the king, no matter how young, would automatically have placed all male members of the Dahomey military - and Dahomey society in general in a subordinate position to all the members of the N'Nonmiton. Essentially, this meant the Dahomey military had a female only officer class. The Amazons were denied a family life and children, but this meant that their designation as Mino - our "mothers" became generally true. They were the wealthy and powerful mothers of the Dahomey tribe. Societies like these always end up as highly carnal and communal. That's the birth of the Brazilian Carnaval ... The Kikuyu tribe was once arranged along Dahomey lines - it's in the basic Kikuyu mythology. But I think female rule or matriarchy was once the norm in black Africa. Black Africans are still under the spell of the goddess for all except the small ruling class. And even that ruling class all grows up under the rule of women - until the age of circumcision. The other example of female rule are black Indians - the devadasi culture -and the Mosou tribe in China. The Mosou still have the tradition of "walking marriage". Men do not leave their mothers house once grown up. Instead they are free to spend their nights in the "flower room" of their girlfriends. Any children however grow up in the woman's house under the care of her male relatives. All property passes down female lines in the Mosou. The Mosou tend to be highly sexualized as a result of this arrangement. Also since men do not leave their mother's house, there is very little poverty in their community. In the animal world there are many example of female led species. And they are all highly sexualized and communal. The spotted hyena in east Africa is probably the best example. - For example, the spotted Hyena female clitoris is bigger than the male penis and is capable of a full erection. It is impossible to distinguish male from female spotted Hyena's just by looking for a penis. Also all female spotted hyena's are dominant over all male's regardless of age difference. Submission by males to females is displayed by bringing the female pseudo penis to full erection. To me that's proof of hyper sexuality although this point seems to fly past most scientists ... Spotted Hyena's live in female led groups with one dominant female. The females remain in the group they were born in, but the males must leave the pack and seek acceptance in another pack. Sex is promiscuous and males have not part in raising the young. *** (August 1, 2013) " ...

(May 11, 2018) Just received a book on the Dahomey Amazons: "Amazons of Black Sparta: The women warriors of Dahomey" by Stanley B. Alpern (2011). From it I learn that Fon is not Yoruba. Dahomey speak Fon. But my main insights are right. With the exception of the king all Dahomey deferred to the Amazons. And even the king was subordinate to the queen mother. Also all Amazons had on average 50 slaves each. And as I suspected celibacy was for new initiates only. Instead you read of Amazons with 50 lovers and an obsession with female sexual enhancement as a general trait among the Dahomey tribe. - On the other hand, the 50 lovers is probably a lurid western fantasy. Females are generally monogamous and males generally polygamous. What probably happened was multiple wives for rich and upper-class men. Even in modern day Africa - Kenya in particular, you hear about this as a justification - by African women, for polygamy. African women prefer to share wealthy and powerful men. According to Wikipedia " ...The Fon people, also called Fon nu, Agadja or Dahomey, are a major African ethnic and linguistic group.They are the largest ethnic group in Benin found particularly in its south region; they are also found in southwest Nigeria and Togo. Their total population is estimated to be about 3,500,000 people, and they speak the Fon language, a member of the Niger-Congo language group. The history of the Fon people is linked to the Dahomey kingdom, a well-organized kingdom by the 17th century but one that shared more ancient roots with the Aja people.The Fon people traditionally were a culture of an oral tradition and had a well-developed polytheistic religious system. They were noted by early 19th-century European traders for their N'Nonmiton practice or Dahomey Amazons – which empowered their women to serve in the military, who decades later fought the French colonial forces in 1890. Most Fon today live in villages and small towns in mud houses with corrugated iron gable roofs. Cities built by the Fon include Abomey, the historical capital city of Dahomey, and Ouidah on what was historically referred to by Europeans as the Slave Coast. These cities became major commercial centres for the slave trade. A significant portion of the sugar plantations in the French West Indies, particularly Haiti and Trinidad, were populated with slaves that came from the Slave Coast, through the lands of Ewe and Fon people. ... Some Fon people converted to Christianity or Islam under the influence of missionaries during the colonial era, in Benin and in French West Indies colonies, but many continued their traditional religious practices. While Islam arrived in the Benin area between 11th and 13th centuries, Christianity was adopted by Dahomey ruler Agonglo who came to power in 1789, and his Fon royalty supporters, with missionaries welcomed. According to Steven Mailloux, the missionaries attempted to integrate the old concepts of Fon people on cosmogenesis to be same as Adam-Eve, and their Legba to be Christian Satan, teachings that led to syncretism rather than abandonment. The Fon people, states Mary Turner, have generally proven to be highly resistant to Christianity and Islam, even when brought over as slaves in a new environment. They have generally refused to accept innovative re-interpretation of Fon mythologies within the Abrahamic mythical framework. The priests of the Fon people, contrary to the expectations of the missionaries, adopted and re-interpreted Abrahamic myths into their own frameworks The traditional Fon religion is regionally called Vodoun, Vodzu or Vodu, which is etymologically linked to Vodun – a term that refers to their theological concept of "numerous immortal spirits and deities". The religious practice of the Fon people have four overlapping elements: public gods, personal or private gods, ancestral spirits, and magic or charms. Thus, the Vodoun religion is polytheistic. The Fon people have a concept of a female Supreme Being called Nana Buluku, who gave birth to the Mawu, Lisa and created the universe. After giving birth, the mother Supreme retired, and left everything to Mawu-Lisa (Moon-Sun, female-male) deities, spirits and inert universe. Mawu-Lisa created numerous minor imperfect deities. In Fon belief, the feminine deity Mawu had to work with trickster Legba and the snake Aido Hwedo to create living beings, a method of creation that imbued the good, the bad and a destiny for every creature including human beings. Only by appeasing lesser deities and Legba, in Fon theology, can one change that destiny. This appeasing requires rituals and offerings to the lesser gods and ancestral spirits, who are believed to have ability to do favors to human beings. A typical traditional home compound of the Fon people has a Dexoxos, or ancestral shrine. The charms are locally called gbo, gris gris, ju ju, or obeah, involve leaves, herbs, smoke and these are offerings to public or personal gods of each family.
While many Fon identify as Christian, the majority continue to practice Benin's traditional religion Vodun. The Fon have priests and mediums who receive the spirits on the occasion of the great festivals. The cult of the sacred serpents in the temple of Whydah had some importance, but eventually fell into disuse. Practice can involve drumming to induce possession by one of these gods or spirits. Together with other cultural groups from the Fon homeland region such as the Yoruba and Bantu, Fon culture merged with French, Portuguese or Spanish to produce distinct religions (Voodoo, Mami Wata, Candomblé and Santería), dance and musical styles (Arará, Yan Valu).
In the French colonies, such as Haiti, the Christian missionaries confiscated and burnt the statues and religious objects of the Fon people, but this did not end their practices. They rebuilt their icons again. The Fon people and their government have reversed the colonial attempts to culturally change them. After the end of the colonial era, January 10 has been declared an official annual holiday in Benin dedicated to Vodun gods. ..." Wikipedia The work the Dahomey Amazons were nominally designated to do - ie. guard the King and his palace was mostly done by male eunuchs and female slaves. Instead the Amazons focused on other things like slave raiding, slave trading, regular trade, ritual dancing, the annual Customs of Dahomey celebrations and most importantly worshiping a phallic god called Legba. Apparently this went together with vaginal procedures that enhanced female libido and even clitoral enhancement. Legba is probably what I call the "female phallus". The Legba cult was probably an African version of the Roman vestal virgins. " ... Celibacy may not have been a particularly severe hardship for foreign-born amazons from ethnic groups that practiced excision, euphemistically called female circumcision, in which the labia and sometimes the clitoris too are sliced off. Such operations, performed from infancy to adolescence , deprive women of the possibility of sexual pleasure. ... The Fon in fact had a custom that produced the opposite effect: artificial elongation of the vagina lips, which heightened the joy of sex. In the late eighteenth century both Dalzel and English ship captain John Adams reported the unusual custom among the women of Dahomey. Three-quarters of a century later Burton wrote that labial elongation was so common that "a woman in the natural state is derided by others". He also suggested that the clitoris too was artificially enlarged. Ellis was sure of it, and linked the practice to worship of a priapic Dahomean god named Legba, distinguished by an out-sized phallus. Elliss's claim is indirectly supported by an observation made nearly a century earlier by Mederic-Louis-Elie Moreau de Saint-Mery in a description of slaves in Haiti. Some "Arada" women from the Slave Coast , he wrote, besides having nymphae distended "to astonishing proportions", also had "another part" enlarged, "to the point that one sex could in a way fill the role of the other". (He also remarked that "Arada" females could be recognized by the "amplitude" of their hips and buttocks." ) "Amazons of Black Sparta: The women warriors of Dahomey" by Stanley B.

However, the image may be native to black Africa.

I made this because I wanted to practice painting different skin tones and their corresponding features. I researched a little and based this concept off the Dahomey Amazons and loosely off the Aido Hwedo Dragon of African Folklore + an endangered antelope specie from Benin (Dahomey). The Dahomey Amazons were one of the most fearsome warriors in history (yes, fearsome -- fully armed men would run from them). The rainbow serpent Aido-Hwedo, though believed to be the world serpent that created and supported life, is also believed to be able to bring about the end of the world if it runs out of food and is forced to eat its own tail. It is said to have taught mankind the link between blood and life. ... " Grafaite - Compare with the "Prinkazons" from 1950's Amazon fetish artist Eric Stanton. This is a probably how Samba was born - wealthy Dahomey Amazons. I see them in the dream world. Voodoo practitioners talk of being "mounted" by spirits once the Legba deity has successfully opened up the doorway to the other world. They are not only mounted like the "man-ponies" in Eric Stanton's erotic comic above, but they "serve" the spirit that has mounted them. Indians would call this "serving the Deva." However, this description is de-eroticized. The real thing is more like a BDSM Femdom session - like something out of Eric Stanton or Japanese Futanari. ie highly erotic. Without that erotic charge the communication with the "Deva" would not be possible. - What probably happens in most cases is involuntary mounting - ie. full blown possession. Most people do not have enough energy to tussle with a "Deva". The only cure I can think of here is regular deep water swimming preferably in a public setting. In America that would mean swimming in integrated water. The male Negro body in the water is a proven issue for most Americans. And involuntary mounting is probably the reason. Deep water swimming forces you out of your head and into your body. It has a long association with demon-removal. ... - An alternate reading of "mounting" would be the ego as the mount and the anima (male unconscious psyche) as the rider. From personal experience, this is how I work on this page. (May 22, 2018) It's just a fact of black African culture that bears reminding. CG Jung calls it the "mother" complex - and apparently its the leading cause of homosexuality. In Fon culture both the creator god and her heavenly successor are female. Also, the liaison between heaven and earth is a female rainbow serpent. Only at the earth level is a male deity prominent. And his main purpose is the phallus. But that's not a minor function, and as is super-clear from patriarchal systems, the phallus can easily melt away to nothingness. Matriarchal systems are phallus focused - which is slightly ironic given the hostility of modern day feminism to the phallus as a concept and as living reality. - Legba shrine - Tropenmuseum, Amsterdam - Legba shrine - 2/Sacred Forest of Kapasse, Ouidah, Benin. Legba went from virile in Benin to old and lame in Haiti. But his powers remain the same - He brings the sun. All loa's have to wait for him to move first: " ... Legba: Old man who guards the crossroads. He is the origin of life, so he must be saluted each time a service or any other activity with the loa will begin. Legba controls the crossing over from one world to the other. He is the contact between the worlds of spirit and of flesh. He is also the guardian of the poto mitan--the center post--a post in the center of a peristyle regarded as a thoroughfare of the spirits. The poto-mitan is an extremely sacred object. Legba walks in his bare feet because he is in constant contact with the earth. (May 28, 2018) Also see: "Potomitan". A Potomitan is the central pillar in Voodoo temples. It is identified as female and associated with the female Rainbow serpent that connects earth with heaven. This blog briefly touches on the androgynous nature of the loa's and self-fertilization rituals in Haitian voodoo: " ... In the imagery of the non-followers of this cult, the loas and voodoo originate from the ancestral and satanic Africa, more specifically from Fon and Yoruba polytheism practiced in the Gulf of Benin. Added to this are Dahomean cults and other mystical curiosities… At that time, women could, after ovulation, fertilize themselves without any external male germ. This faculty is called "Immaculate Conception" … However, in the Haitian past and present, this is the prototype of an esoteric behavior based on non-violence and respect for the laws of Nature.... In short, they are for the most part, if not all, hermaphroditic or androgynous loas (Erzulie, Damballah, Agoué, Simbi, Marassa), as the Man was moreover before. Adam and Eve, before their separation, were the twins of God.

A woman reported that she refuses to use birth control and was wondering whether "accidental" no condom use by her boyfriend was sex-assault. Savage told her yes it's assault and yes she should dump him. Traditional cultures used Female Genital Mutilation to control female libido. The pill is the same thing. Thats why Anglo libido comes alive after the pill is no longer needed. Fon and traditional Haitian women in Vodoo timed Legba for the peak ovulation cycle. According to Psychology Today: "... In the U.S. in 2018, birth control pills were the most popular form of contraception, used by almost 10 million women. The Pill has consistently been the most popular method since 1982. Most birth control pills contain the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone (progestin). Formulations vary and over the past 50 years dosages have diminished. But whatever the formulation, the hormones in the Pill tinker with women’s pituitary hormones to suppress ovulation. The Pill has many effects that may increase erotic interest and improve sexual function. When used properly, it’s highly effective, eliminating anxieties about unintended pregnancy. The Pill also reduces premenstrual distress, menstrual cramping and bleeding, and risk of endometriosis and uterine fibroids. Family planning resources, notably Contraceptive Technology, the bible of birth control, emphasize the Pill’s pro-sexual effects, saying that at most 5 percent of Pill users report sexual difficulties.

"When the alchemist speaks of Mercurius, on the face of it he means quicksilver (mercury), but inwardly he means the world-creating spirit concealed or imprisoned in matter.
The dragon is probably the oldest pictoral symbol in alchemy of which we have documentary evidence. It appears as the Ouroboros, the tail-eater, in the Codex Marcianus, which dates from the tenth or eleventh century, together with the legend 'the One, the All'. Time and again the alchemists reiterate that the opus proceeds from the one and leads back to the one, that it is a sort of circle like a dragon biting its own tail. For this reason the opus was often called circulare (circular) or else rota (the wheel).
Mercurius stands at the beginning and end of the work: he is the prima materia, the caput corvi, the nigredo; as dragon he devours himself and as dragon he dies, to rise again in the lapis. He is the play of colours in the cauda pavonis and the division into the four elements. He is the hermaphrodite that was in the beginning, that splits into the classical brother-sister duality and is reunited in the coniunctio, to appear once again at the end in the radiant form of the lumen novum, the stone.
He is metallic yet liquid, matter yet spirit, cold yet fiery, poison and yet healing draught - a symbol uniting all the opposites."

*** I've been doing some reading of the Haitian wing of the Dahomey religion and it seems occasionally the old ways return. For example, one Haitian dictator was accused of sacrificing "goats without horns" - which is code for human sacrifice. See: "Voodoo" by Alfred Métraux (1950) - The Dennis Wheatley Library of the Occult - Vol. 19 - Voodoo.pdf at http://avalonlibrary.net/ebooks/ This book is of only limited use though. For example, Métraux completely misses the eros of the loa experience. But that is not surprising given the date of publication (1950). - Dennis Wheatley's 1950 introduction is virulently racist, but he also highlights the erotic nature of voodoo: " ... There is ample evidence that Voodoo is the most bestial, cruel and depraved of all religions, but there are two reasons why Doctor Métraux does not give the full picture of it. Firstly, as he says in his foreword – the place of which is taken by this introduction – he lived only in the part of Haiti where the worst Voodoo rites were only practised; secondly, that he discusses Voodoo ‘only from the point of view of an anthropologist with method and prudence’. In other words, he leans over backward not to offend Haitians. He does tell us something of the torture inflicted on birds and beasts before they were sacrificed and of the hideous practices of the sorcerers; but not that men consider it an honour to be allowed to kiss the vagina of a woman while she is possessed and in convulsions, or of men copulating with pigs – as was the ritual for initiation into the Mau-Mau. His reticence is understandable in view of the fact that this book is dedicated to Lorgina Delorge, an old Negress mambo, whose guest he was for a considerable time; and that he had many friends who were devotees to this licentious cult. Yet one should bear in mind that Haiti is the most densely populated country in the Western Hemisphere. In consequence the majority of its inhabitants are desperately poor. And that for the very poor the only pleasures available are music, dancing and copulation. But whatever mentions of depravity Doctor Métraux may have discreetly omitted, the fact remains that his account of the Voodoo religion, its gods, their followers, beliefs and ceremonies is more informative than any other. ...

Generally, the loa experience seems to be more of a personal guardian angel phenomenon. And it seems to be run by the dream world. i.e. the male and female Haitian shamans are created from within. Almost by a dream compulsion.
*** (May 18, 2018) I just learned about the Nagas of India. The serpents on the Konark sun temple at the top of this page are Nagas. Appparently they are a serpent race that lives deep underground in secret places and have high technology: " ... Naga is the Sanskrit and Pali word for a deity or class of entity or being taking the form of a very great snake, specifically the king cobra, found in the Indian religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. A female naga is a nagin" or nagini". ... The mythological serpent race that took form as cobras often can be found in Hindu iconography. The nagas are described as the powerful, splendid, wonderful and proud semidivine race that can assume their physical form either as human, partial human-serpent or the whole serpent. Their domain is in the enchanted underworld, the underground realm filled with gems, gold and other earthly treasures called Naga-loka or Patala-loka. They are also often associated with bodies of waters — including rivers, lakes, seas, and wells — and are guardians of treasure. Their power and venom made them potentially dangerous to humans. However, they often took beneficial protagonist role in Hindu mythology, such as in Samudra manthan mythology, Vasuki, a nagaraja who abides on Shiva's neck, became the churning rope for churning of the Ocean of Milk. Their eternal mortal enemies are the Garudas, the legendary semidivine birdlike-deity....

It's really just a trick of light though. (First thought best thought they say ...) (May 13, 2018) The origins of the "Samba Salute" and the elite Samba parade may have roots in Amazon Dahomey. See this discussion from the New York Sun in March 1890: " ... Whenever the Amazons are on parade a show corps is seen, composed of little girls 10 to 15 years of age, who march with toy weapons, dance and sing, and live with the warriors, but do not go on campaigns with them until they are strong enough to handle a flintlock. They are the Amazons of the future, undergoing a process of hardening discipline, brutalizing alike to mind and feelings, which shall fit them to take their places among the fierce fighters of Dahomey. Strange lives there women lead. In the streets of the capital and on the highways of the kingdom they are more isolated from the other sex than any nun. The man who dares to keep the road when a squad of amazons approaches pays for his temerity with his life. The well-known tinkle of the amazon bell makes proclamation to all the male creation that it is high time to skurry down the byways or ingloriously retreat to avoid meeting the king's warriors. Skertchly said it made his blood boil to be compelled to slink out of view like a thief whenever he heard the odious bell: and the proudest moment of his life was when he was able boldly to face these astonished damsels, and thrust before their eyes the king's lion stick, which showed that he had as good a right to his majesty's highways as any amazon, and could even stare her out of countenance if it afforded him amusement. Of course, on public occasions, when the amazons are out for exhibition purposes, all the world may look at them; but at other times it behooves the lords of creation, from the crown prince to the humblest slave to take to the woods if they see these mighty beings approach. ... Many of the men of Dahomey , deep down in their heart, regard the Amazons as an unmitigated nuisance: and little wonder, when in the streets of the capital, the poor fellows have to dodge under cover about once every twenty yards so that the uniformed ladies may have a wide berth. These female soldiers are at once the unique feature and the great weakness of their country; for Dahomey is not so populous that it can afford to keep 4,000 or 5,000 women in its garrisons. In the natural order of things these women would be the mothers of twelve or fifteen thousand children, and children are the great need of Dahomey, for her population is decreasing. Not only are the additions these women make to the population most insignificant, but the women captured in war, who usually in Africa become the wives of their captors, in Dahomey, for the most part, are merely the camp followers of the amazons and under the same restrictions. So while the king regards the amazons as the mainstay of his country, forming as they do one-half of the regular army of Dahomey, the institution is actually draining the kingdom of its population. The Amazons have a bad effect upon the country because a large part of the best physical specimens of womanhood are absorbed by the army instead of giving hardihood and vigor to the rising generation. Burton says he saw many young and good looking women among the amazons, but to the jaundiced vision of Skertchly, who could never quite get over his long and monotonous experience of dodging these military females, they appeared to be an uncommonly tough crowd. ..." The Amazons of Dahomey: an account of the female warriors of an African Kingdom. The New York Sun., March 1890. (May 14, 2018) Mating for the Dahomey Amazons was probably on a Mami Wata model. ie the Amazon chose and you said yes or else. In Japanese Futa this is called binding. You can trace this to the fact that all Dahomey Amazons were twinned with a male counterpart. The fact that the crown prince was not exempt from the get off the road rule confirms that Dahomey really had an Amazon only ruling class. Also the fact that a princess was a member tells me the Amazons were not a dumping ground. Amazons specialized in decapitation. It's like the old requirement that Maasai kill a lion to enter the ranks of the morans - That's probably what the skull insignia meant. But I am sure they were under the rule of their god Legba ie: hyper-sexuality. Legba is male though. Amazons had to go through a long process to wear his horns. Thats probably why they were celibate. Roman vestals had to take 30 years off to take the fascinus. What about their male twin? What was their role? - Probably a virile mirror - or living Legbas. It was probably like the Mosou in China. Their energy was conserved for after hours activities ...

(March 9 , 2018) The Yoruba musician Babatunde Olatunji has an important description of the concept of "Orisha." Olatunji, a graduate of Morehouse College, was a member of the 50's Jazz community around John Coltrane and sold millions of albums introducing America to what is today called "world" music. However, it seems his memory has faded although his music continues to live in the music of artists like Carlos Santana, the Grateful Dead and others in unattributed form like the French musician Serge Gainsborough. I recently discovered his best selling album "Drums of Passion" accidentally when listening to Santana on You tube. In a Smithsonian Folkways CD of his music, "Drums of Passion: The Invocation" Olatunji describes Orisha's as : " ... The Orishas of Yoruba land are many in number. So many in fact that one cannot name all at once. But what is the meaning of the word "Orisha?" The word means "He" whom Ori (head) has picked out to create in a manner different from his fellow beings on earth ... The Yoruba's believe that the abode of God Almighty Spirit in human beings is the Ori. It is always referred to as an instrument of creation and that all things are under the control of of Eleda - The Creator and Ori (Head) - have created them differently from the rest of us. It is for this reason that the Yoruba say that anyone who does something so great that can never be forgotten has become an Orisha ... Since these Orisha were once human beings who in their lifetime did significant things of such magnitude and importance that they a cannot be forgotten, there are several ways of commemorating them and praying through them to God. This is what is meant by "Bibi Orisha" - worshiping the Orisha. This is done by either offering sacrifice at the shrine of the Orisha or giving gifts, or feasting in the Orisha's name. In this presentation, one will observe the villagers carrying gifts and offerings listed by the Ifa priest, for the young woman who prays for a child to God through Kori - the Goddess of Fertility .... As they chant, dance and sing songs of praise about their Gods, they become possessed and transformed to higher spiritual levels ... " *** (March 9 , 2018) There is probably a direct link between the Orisha culture of west Africa and the world of the Mayan death lords - the "Lords of Xibalba". The giant Olmec heads, of the pre-Maya Olmec culture - Olmec "Ori's" certainly suggests this ... ***

an Orisha and mother of all Orishas. According to Wikipedia: " ... Yemoja is a major water deity from the Yoruba religion. She is an orisha and the mother of all orishas, having given birth to the 14 Yoruba gods and goddesses. She is often syncretized with either Our Lady of Regla in the afrocuban diaspora or various other Virgin Mary figures of the Catholic Church, a practice that emerged during the era of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Yemoja is motherly and strongly protective, and cares deeply for all her children, comforting them and cleansing them of sorrow. She is said to be able to cure infertility in women, and cowrie shells represent her wealth. She does not easily lose her temper, but when angered she can be quite destructive and violent, as the flood waters of turbulent rivers. Yemoja is often depicted as a mermaid, and is associated with the moon, water, and feminine mysteries. She is the protector of women. She governs everything pertaining women; childbirth, conception, parenting, child safety, love, and healing. She oversees deep secrets, ancient wisdom, the moon, sea shells, and the collective unconscious. According to myth, when her waters broke, it caused a great flood creating rivers and streams and the first mortal humans were created from her womb. Name variantsAfricaIn traditional Yoruba culture and spirituality, Yemoja is a mother spirit; patron spirit of women, especially pregnant women; She is the patron deity of the Ogun river (Odò Ògùn) but she is also worshipped at streams, creeks, springs in addition to wells and run-offs. Her name is a contraction of the Yoruba words Yeye, meaning "mother"; omo, meaning "child"; and eja, meaning "fish"; roughly translated the term means "Mother whose children are like fish." This represents the vastness of her motherhood, her fecundity, and her reign over all living things. In West Africa, Yemoja is worshipped as a high-ranking river deity, but in Brazil and Cuba she is worshipped mainly as a sea/ocean goddess. River deities in Yorubaland include Yemoja, Osun (Oshun), Erinlè, Obà, Yewa, etc. It is Olókun that fills the role of sea deity in Yorubaland, while Yemoja is a leader of the other river deities. The river deity Yemoja is often portrayed as a mermaid, even in West Africa, and she can visit all other bodies of water, including lakes, lagoons, and the sea, but her home and the realm she owns are the rivers and streams, especially the Ogun River in Nigeria. AmericasBrazilIn Candomblé and Umbanda Yemanjá is one of the seven Orixás. Red roses are used as a ritual offering. She is the Queen of the Ocean, the patron spirit of the fishermen and the survivors of shipwrecks, the feminine principle of creation, and the spirit of moonlight. Saturday is the consecrated day of Yemanjá. ... SyncretismIn Brazil Yemanjá is syncretized with Our Lady of the Seafaring (Nossa Senhora dos Navegantes) and Our Lady of the Conception (Nossa Senhora de Conceição). .... FestivalsCubaIn Santería or regla de ocha, Yemayá is the mother of all living things as well as the owner of the oceans and seas. .... UruguayIn Montevideo, worshippers gather on Ramirez Beach in the Parque Rodo neighborhood every February 2 to celebrate Iemanjá Day. Hundreds of thousands sit waiting for the sunset before they launch small boats with offerings into the ocean. In 2015, the Uruguayan government estimated that 100,000 people had visited the beach for the celebrations. ... " Wikipedia. *** (November, 23, 2017 ) My intuition is this is the origin of Carnaval. In Rio there is a massive celebration of Yemonja on the beach at midnight every December 31. See :"7 Waves and 7 Wishes: New Year's in Rio," by Edwin McDowell in the Dec. 28, 1997 edition of the New York Times. However, in her home state of Bahia, her holiday is February 2 - which co-incides with the massive Carnaval celebration. Although generally perceived as a motherly healer, I also read a complaint online that people have lost touch with Yemonja's true powers. The author compared her to a hurricane when in her negative aspect. The impression that formed in my mind when I discovered this deity a few weeks ago from a discussion of the African influence on Brazilian culture with a Brazilian friend, - who also happens to be a Prussian baron, is this is the antidote to the child-devouring Saturn archetype. Saturn's "sister" if you will.... I find it ironic that I should learn about such an important African deity from the son of a member of Hitler's army- but that's what we call "kismet" ... ***
(November 25, 2017) I have personal experience with this deity from the dream world. For example on 2/26/2016 I jotted down the garbled remnants of what seemed to be an important dream: " ... Pacific window. New state. Has a wall around it that keeps it invisible. Long term contact with Americans. Wall built by water people. They come up to land at sunset to salute the setting sun. Pacific window is both in west Africa and the Pacific. The water people prefer talking to our 2nd personalities, if we have one ... " - It almost feels like there is another intelligent species on planet earth. ... This is also the hyper-sexualized world of Japanese "Futa". A body of folklore has built up online about a male/female goddess energy that bonds with humans. The focus in futa lore is on hyper sexuality, but there is probably something real there ... *** In west Africa, this male/female goddess energy is also know as "Mami Wata". The Smithsonian Museum of Art had a show on Mami Wata a few years ago.: " ... At once beautiful, protective, seductive, and dangerous, the water spirit Mami Wata (Mother Water) is celebrated throughout much of Africa and the African Atlantic. A rich array of arts surrounds her, as well as a host of other aquatic spirits--all honoring the essential, sacred nature of water. Mami Wata is often portrayed as a mermaid, a snake charmer, or a combination of both. She is widely believed to have "overseas" origins, and her depictions have been profoundly influenced by representations of ancient, indigenous African water spirits, European mermaids, Hindu gods and goddesses, and Christian and Muslim saints. She is not only sexy, jealous, and beguiling but also exists in the plural, as the mami watas and papi watas who comprise part of the vast and uncountable "school" of African water spirits. *** (November 27, 2017) Also see Wikipedia on Mami Wata: " ... Mami Wata (Mammy Water) is a deity venerated in West, Central, and Southern Africa, and in the African diaspora in the Americas. Mami Wata spirits are usually female, but are sometimes male. AppearanceThe appearance of her hair ranges from straight, curly to kinky black and combed straight back. "Mami Wata" where "Mami" is the Pidgin English spelling of mammy (mother) "Wata" is the Pidgin English spelling of water is essentially a mermaid or humanistic water entity. Mami Wata is often described as a mermaid-like figure, with a woman's upper body (often nude) and the hindquarters of a fish or serpent. In other tales, Mami Wata is fully human in appearance (though never human). The existence and spiritual importance of Mami Wata is deeply rooted in the ancient tradition and mythology of the coastal southeastern Nigerians (Efik, Ibibio and Annang people). Mami Wata often carries expensive baubles such as combs, mirrors, and watches. A large snake (symbol of divination and divinity) frequently accompanies her, wrapping itself around her and laying its head between her breasts. Other times, she may try to pass as completely human, wandering busy markets or patronising bars. She may also manifest in a number of other forms, including as a man. Traders in the 20th century carried similar beliefs with them from Senegal to as far as Zambia. As the Mami Wata traditions continues to re-emerge, native water deities were subsumed into it. WaterTraditions on both sides of the Atlantic tell of the spirit abducting her followers or random people whilst they are swimming or boating. She brings them to her paradisiacal realm, which may be underwater, in the spirit world, or both. Should she allow them to leave, the travellers usually return in dry clothing and with a new spiritual understanding reflected in their gaze. These returnees often grow wealthier, more attractive, and more easygoing after the encounter. Van Stipriaan further reports that other tales describe river travellers (usually men) chancing upon the spirit. She is inevitably grooming herself, combing her hair, and peering at herself in a mirror. Upon noticing the intruder, she flees into the water and leaves her possessions behind. The traveller then takes the invaluable items. Later, Mami Wata appears to the thief in his dreams to demand the return of her things. Should he agree, she further demands a promise from him to be sexually faithful to her. Agreement grants the person riches; refusal to return the possessions or to be faithful brings the man ill fortune. Her worship is as diverse as her initiates, priesthood and worshippers, although some parallels may be drawn. Groups of people may gather in her name, but the spirit is much more prone to interacting with followers on a one-on-one basis. She thus has many priests and mediums in both Africa, America and in the Caribbean who are specifically born and initiated to them. In Nigeria, devotees typically wear red and white clothing, as these colors represent that particular Mami’s dual nature. Igbo iconography, red represents such qualities as death, destruction, heat, maleness, physicality, and power. In contrast, white symbolises death, but also can symbolize beauty, creation, femaleness, new life, spirituality, translucence, water, and wealth.This regalia may also include a cloth snake wrapped about the waist. The Mami Wata shrines may also be decorated in these colors, and items such as bells, carvings, Christian or Indian prints, dolls, incense, spirits, and remnants of previous sacrifices often adorn such places. Intense dancing accompanied by musical instruments such as African guitars or harmonicas often forms the core of Mami Wata worship. Followers dance to the point of entering a trance. At this point, Mami Wata possesses the person and speaks to him or her. Offerings to the spirit are also important, and Mami Wata prefers gifts of delicious food and drink, alcohol, fragrant objects (such as pomade, powder, incense, and soap), and expensive goods like jewelry.Modern worshippers usually leave her gifts of manufactured goods, such as Coca-Cola or designer jewelry. Nevertheless, she largely wants her followers to be healthy and well off. More broadly, people blame the spirit for all sorts of misfortune. In Cameroon, for example, Mami Wata is ascribed with causing the strong undertow that kills many swimmers each year along the coast. SexAccording to Bastian, Mami Wata's association with sex and lust is somewhat paradoxically linked to one with . According to a Nigerian tradition, male followers may encounter the spirit in the guise of a beautiful, sexually promiscuous woman, such as a prostitute. In Nigerian popular stories, Mami Wata may seduce a favoured male devotee and then show herself to him following coitus. She then demands his complete sexual faithfulness and secrecy about the matter. Acceptance means wealth and fortune; rejection spells the ruin of his family, finances, and job. Healing and fertilityAnother prominent aspect of the Mami Wata deities is their connection to healing. If someone comes down with an incurable, languorous illness, Mami Wata often takes the blame. The illness is evidence that Mami Wata has taken an interest in the afflicted person and that only she can cure him or her. Similarly, several other ailments may be attributed to the water spirit. In Nigeria, for example, she takes the blame for everything from headaches to sterility. In fact, barren mothers often call upon the spirit to cure their affliction. Many traditions hold that Mami Wata herself is barren, so if she gives a woman a child, that woman inherently becomes more distanced from the spirit's true nature. The woman will thus be less likely to become wealthy or attractive through her devotion to Mami Wata. Images of women with children often decorate shrines to the spirit. Other associationsAs other deities become absorbed into the figure of Mami Wata, the spirit often takes on characteristics unique to a particular region or culture. In Trinidad and Tobago, for example, Maman Dlo plays the role of guardian of nature, punishing overzealous hunters or woodcutters. She is the lover of Papa Bois, a nature spirit. Origins and developmentIt is believed that all of ancient Africa possessed a multitude of water-spirit traditions before the first contact with Europeans. Most of these were regarded as female. Dual natures of good and evil were not uncommon, reflecting the fact that water is an important means of providing communication, food, drink, trade, and transportation, but it can drown people, flood fields or villages, and provide passage to intruders. Van Stipriaan suggests that she may be based on the West African manatee,[ which is an idea that has been proposed by scientists of the Ghanaian Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR);in fact, "Mami Wata" is a common name for this animal in the region. Jill Salmons argues that the mermaid image may have come into being after contact with Europeans. The ships of traders and slavers often had carvings of mermaid figures on their prows, for example, and tales of mermaids were popular among sailors of the time. On the other hand, white is traditionally associated with the spirit world in many cultures of Nigeria. The people of the Cross River area often whiten their skin with talcum or other substances for rituals and for cosmetic reasons, for example. Van Stipriaan speculates that Liberian traders of the Kru ethnic group moved up and down the west coast of Africa from Liberia to Cameroon beginning in the 19th century. They may have spread their own water-spirit beliefs with them and helped to standardise conceptions in West Africa. Their perceived wealth may have helped establish the spirit as one of good fortune. According to the Supreme Chief of Mami Wata, Hounnon Behumbeza, the appointed high priest of the Mami Wata Tradition in West Africa(Benin, Togo, Ghana), "the Mami Wata tradition consists of a huge pantheon of deities & spirits, not just the often portrayed mermaid" deity. Behumbeza goes on to say that "true knowledge and understanding of Mami Wata is shared with those initiated into the priesthood of Mami and with those who hear the calling for initiation into Mami Wata." ImageVan Stipriaan also believes that this period introduced West Africa to what would become the definitive image of Mami Wata. Circa 1887, a chromolithograph of a female Samoan snake charmer appeared in Nigeria. According to the British art historian Kenneth C. Murray, the poster was titled Der Schlangenbändiger ("The Snake Charmer") and was originally created sometime between 1880 and 1887. Dr. Tobias Wendl, director of the Iwalewa-Haus Africa Centre at the University of Bayreuth, was unable to confirm this after extensive searching (as Der Schlangenbändiger is a masculine term, the title seems suspect). He did discover a very similar photograph titled Die samoanische Schlangenbändigerin Maladamatjaute ("the Samoan Snake Charmer (fem.) Maladamatjaute") in the collection of the Wilhelm-Zimmermann Archive in Hamburg.Whichever the original image, it was almost certainly a poster of a celebrated late 19th-century snake charmer who performed under the stage name "Nala Damajanti", which appeared in several variations, particularly "Maladamatjaute", at numerous venues, including the Folies Bergère in 1886. This identification was also made by Drewal in a 2012 book chapter on Mami Wata. Despite exotic claims of her nationality, she was later identified as one Émilie Poupon of Nantey, France. This image—an enticing woman with long, black hair and a large snake slithering up between her breasts—apparently caught the imaginations of the Africans who saw it; it was the definitive image of the spirit. Before long, Mami Wata posters appeared in over a dozen countries. People began creating Mami Wata art of their own, much of it influenced by the lithograph. ... " Wikipedia *** The large snake that is associated with Mami Wata, is a large penis in Japanese Futanari. The manga Futa genre is a modern retelling of an ancient Japanese myth associated with the Japanese sun goddess. This is a modern day example of what I call the "female phallus" - or the male contents of the female psyche; or CG Jung's "Animus". On page 90 of this website the female phallus is associated with Vesta, the ancient guardian of the city of Rome. *** (Feb 3, 2018) The female phallus occurs at Carnaval, but in a coded form - Yemonja is usually paired with a sea-horse. Sea-horse females have a penis, the ovipositor, through which they deposit their eggs into the sea-horse male's pouch after an intense mating dance. The sea-horse male then incubates and give birth to the next generation of sea-horses. This image seemingly occurs naturally, so it is probably a projection from the collective unconscious. It also probably has nothing to do with physical reproduction. - It's more of a psychic event: what the ancient Greeks called the “hieros-gamos” Seahorse - Passistas - Imperio de Casa Verde (2016) Male birth may seem strange, but it's what creative men do - or rather, what creative men expect from the muse. It also exists in surprising myths - for example, Athena was born from Zeus's head, and in some renditions, Dionysus is born from Zeus's thigh. I recently saw this image of Zeus giving birth from his thigh and found it extremely strange. The image was from Byzantium - it was Zeus as a Byzantine king on a Byzantine throne giving birth to a Byzantine Dionysus. This led me to muse on the "injury to the thigh" of the fisher-king in medieval holy grail imagery.

Tradition *** (May 31, 2016) It appears that the religion of the Yoruba nation of west Africa has planted deep roots in Latin America and the Caribbean: According to Wikipedia: " ... The Yoruba religion, comprising the traditional religious concepts and practices of the Yoruba people, is found primarily in southwestern Nigeria and the adjoining parts of Benin, and Togo, commonly known as Yorubaland. Yoruba religion is ancestral or partially ancestral to the Afro-American religions Santería, Trinidad Orisha, Palo, Umbanda, Brujería, Hoodoo, Candomblé, Quimbanda, Orisha, Xangô de Recife, Xangô do Nordeste, Comfa, Espiritismo, Santo Daime, Obeah, Abakuá, Kumina, Winti, Sanse, Cuban Vodú, Dominican Vudú, Louisiana Voodoo, Haitian Vodou, and Vodun.Yoruba religious beliefs are part of itan, the complex cultural concepts which make up the Yoruba society. ... " Wikipedia Furthermore: " ... According to Kola Abimbola, the Yoruba have evolved a robust cosmology. In brief, it holds that all human beings possess what is known as "Ayanmo"(destiny, fate) and are expected to eventually become one in spirit with Olodumare (Olorun, the divine creator and source of all energy). Olorun is thought too remote from people's everyday lives, but the Yoruba see parallels between Olorun, the King of the Heavens, and their traditional ruler, the king of the world.Furthermore, the thoughts and actions of each person in Ayé (the physical realm/Life) interact with all other living things, including the Earth itself. Each person attempts to achieve transcendence and find their destiny in Orun-Rere (the spiritual realm of those who do good and beneficial things). One's ori-inu (spiritual consciousness in the physical realm) must grow in order to consummate union with one's "Iponri" (Ori Orun, spiritual self). Those who stop growing spiritually, in any of their given lives, are destined for "Orun-Apadi" (the invisible realm of potsherds). Life and death are said to be cycles of existence in a series of physical bodies while one's spirit evolves toward transcendence. This evolution is said to be most evident amongst the Orishas, the divine viziers of Olorun. Iwapele (or well-balanced) meditative recitation and sincere veneration is sufficient to strengthen the ori-inu of most people.Well-balanced people, it is believed, are able to make positive use of the simplest form of connection between their Oris and the omnipotent Olu-Orun: an adura (petition or prayer) for divine support. Prayer to one's Ori Orun produces an immediate sensation of joy. Elegbara (Eshu, not the divine messenger but accuser of the righteous) initiates contact with spiritual realm on behalf of the petitioner, and transmits the prayer to Ayé; the deliverer of ase or the spark of life. He transmits this prayer without distorting it in any way. Thereafter, the petitioner may be satisfied with a personal answer. In the event that he or she is not, the Ifá oracle of the Orisha Orunmila may also be consulted. All communication with Orun, whether simplistic in the form of a personal prayer or complicated in the form of that done by an initiated Babalawo (priest of divination), however, is energized by invoking ase. In the Yoruba belief system, Olodumare has ase over all that is, and hence is considered supreme. Unlike many Western religions, which conceive of good and evil as pertaining to and deriving from separate entities (i.e.-God and Satan, respectively) Yoruba cosmology holds that good and evil derive from the same source. ... Yoruba religion around the world According to Professor S. A. Akintoye, the Yoruba were exquisite statesmen who spread across the globe in an unprecedented fashion;the reach of their culture is largely due to migration—the most recent migration occurred with the Atlantic slave trade. During this period, many Yoruba were captured and sold into the slave trade and transported to Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, Venezuela, and other parts of the Americas. With them, they carried their religious beliefs. The school-of-thought integrated into what now constitutes the core of the "New World lineages": Candomblé (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay) *** " ... An orisha (spelled òrìsà in the Yoruba language, and orichá or orixá in Latin America) is a spirit who reflects one of the manifestations of the supreme divinity (Eledumare, Olorun, Olofi) in Yoruba religion. Orisha are said to have existed in the spiritual world, or Astral plane (òrun) or lived as human beings in the planetary world, or physical plane (ayé). Others are said to be humans who are recognized as deities due to extraordinary feats. Many orishas have found their way to most of the New World as a result of the Atlantic slave trade and are now expressed in practices as varied as Santería, Candomblé, Trinidad Orisha, Umbanda, and Oyotunji, among others. ... " Wikipedia Furthermore: " ... Yoruba tradition often says that there are 401 orishas, which is associated with a sacred number. Other sources suggest that the number is "as many as you can think of, plus one more - an innumerable number". Different oral traditions refer to 400, 700, or 1,440 orisha. ... " Wikipedia And: " ... The orisha are grouped as those represented by the color white, who are characterized as "cool, calm, gentle, and temperate"; and those represented by the colors red or black, who are characterized as "harsh, aggressive, demanding, and quick tempered". As humans do, orisha may have a preferred color, foods, and objects. The traits of the orisha are documented through oral tradition. ... " Wikipedia *** (July 14, 2016) Samba is more than muses and queens. Each Samba parade is composed of massive musical and theatrical productions and floats that can include up to 30 separate groups comprising of up to 3,600 separate components - each contributing to the unique story being narrated and sung. For example, in 2013 the samba school Mocidade " ... presented 3,600 components, in 36 groups divided into seven sectors, with seven allegories. " Brazil in hot pants blog. However, there can be no doubt that without the erotic dancers there would be no Samba. Also see: brazilcarnival.com.br *** The source of Brazil's Samba is usually described as Africa. And it is true, that before colonial days, most central and southern African tribes celebrated Samba-like dances every year - the Ngoma. However, it now appears the source of Samba is actually India! There is a gap in the knowledge - a missing black civilization. My guess is somewhere in the south seas - probably the Pacific. *** (July 10, 2017) On a side note: based on the preceding events in Brazil, Mogul India and pre-colonial central Africa, I think I've identified a new pattern in human sexuality: The female libido is patterned on the bee-hive model. i.e.: A strong queen is required to lead the way. Otherwise, no honey. *** Re Ngoma: see, for example, Baroness Karen Blixen's "Out of Africa" (1937). The British suppressed the annual Kikuyu Ngoma dance in colonial Kenya on grounds of safety and sobriety. Modern day Kikuyu have no memory of any such dances. The only tribe in sub-saharan Africa that still celebrates the annual Ngoma dances, - complete with nude young women dancers - is the Swazi in Swaziland; the annual Reed dance. *** (June 16, 2016) At about the same time, 1942, Orson Welles had a film he was making about the Brazilian Carnaval and Samba suppressed by RKO studio bosses. Welles was sent to Brazil by the US government as a cultural ambassador. However, the film footage of the Carnaval he sent back for review by RKO studios caused the project to be terminated. The film itself was physically destroyed in the 1960's by being thrown into the Pacific. Samba is still only sporadic on the internet - a victim of aggressive but also anonymous "scrubbing". BBC documentary: "The Orson Welles Story" - Part of the problem with Samba is it is in violation of the 1934 "Hays Code" (1934-1968).

While no longer in legal force, Hollywood is still enforcing the Hays Code ... (June 16, 2016) A word association test that CG Jung invented, reveals that the best of intentions are not enough to break the American racial barrier. See the test for "implicit bias" that reveals that 90% of white Americans and up to 50% of black Americans have an unconscious bias against black Americans. Unfortunately for most Americans, sexuality is trapped in this implicit bias - ie: America's eros is projected onto black males primarily. *** - (July 4, 2016) Another problem with Samba for western culture is archetypal. In Wagner's operatic version of the Arthurian Grail cycle, the most important hurdle that the hero Percival must overcome in his quest to retrieve the Lance of Maurice from the sorcerer Klingsor is lust - in the form of the army of flower maidens that surround Klingsor in his moorish castle. From recent study, these are probably the "nautch girls" or - the archetypal eastern Harem surrounding Muslim and other ancient eastern monarchs. - Also, my intuition, and previous work on this website, suggests during the days of King Arthur, the "moorish" sorcerer Klingsor, and his harem may have been Ethiopian- the early sponsors of Islam. Medieval Europe associated the Lance of Maurice with a black African Roman soldier. Invariably these flower girls use lust to destroy the knights sent to retrieve the lance of Maurice. Without the lance, the "wound to the thigh" of the Grail king cannot be healed. Percival is the knight who overcomes lust and transmutes it to universal love. " ... Many of Wagner’s operas are driven by rebellious sexual passion, as e.g. in Tristan and Isolde (1859), the title characters defy moral and musical conventions in pursuit of erotic nirvana, or in the Ring Cycle, when in Die Walküre (1870), brother and sister Siegmund and Sieglinde fall in love. In Parsifal sexual passion must be confronted and surpassed – and thus transfigured into a universal compassionate love. In Parsifal, Christian knights in Spain guard two special relics in their castle Monsalvat: the Holy Grail and the Holy Spear that pierced Jesus on the cross. The knights have been in trouble since their leader Amfortas decided to attack a nearby sorcerer’s lair armed with the spear. The malevolent magician named Klingsor, was a would-be knight who after rejection from the order castrated himself in a rage. His servant, Kundry, a shape-shifting sorceress, seduced Amfortas allowing Klingsor to steal the holy spear and stab him for good measure. The wound, which has never healed—both straining him physically and signifying his moral failing—leaves Amfortas a weakened ruler unable to lead the brotherhood, which, as a result, is threatened with collapse from within and is menaced from without.Only a man made wise by compassion can save Amfortas, and this should be ... Parsifal. Parsifal has defiled the castle by shooting a swan and seems to have as little interest in what happens around him as he does in his own past. But in witnessing Amfortas’ agony during the Grail ceremony in the castle, Parsifal feels a compulsive pain in his own heart and his sympathy is stirred. Parsifal travels to Klingsor’s castle on the southern slope of the same mountains of Monsalvat, which looks towards Moorish Spain. There he must defy the temptations of the flower-maidens and Kundry, who is cursed to wander the earth for laughing at Jesus on the Via Dolorosa. Parsifal must win back the spear and heal the order.Parsifal, the pure fool, is made cosmically clear-sighted by Kundry’s kiss. He feels in himself the temptation, the longing and suffering of Amfortas, and perceives the world as the aggregation of common guilt and an unending circle of misery, which can be broken only by compassion and renunciation, by rejection of the will and its blind urging and compulsion When in the end Amfortas commands his knights to kill him and end his suffering and the shame he has brought on the Knighthood, Parsifal steps forth and says that only one weapon can heal the wound. He touches Amfortas’ side with the Holy Spear and both heals and absolves him. When the Grail is unveiled, Kundry, released from her curse, sinks lifeless to the ground as a white dove descends and hovers above Parsifal. ...

*** (Dec. 2, 2016) Recently discovered the Kingdom of Kongo (1390 AD - 1914) - a bantu kingdom in what is now Angola and several neighbouring states. Conquered by Portugal, the kingdom of Kongo was the source of all Brazilian slaves as well as a large percentage of American slaves. The kingdom of Kongo is almost certainly the source of Samba. Modern day Angola is a de facto Brazilian colony as over time the center of Portugal's colonial empire was transfered to the Empire of Brazil. *** According to Wikipedia: " ... In 1483, the Portuguese explorer Diogo Cão sailed up the uncharted Congo River, finding Kongo villages and becoming the first European to encounter the Kongo kingdom. During his visit, Cão left his men in Kongo while taking Kongo nobles and bringing them to Portugal. He returned with the Kongo nobles in 1485. At that point the ruling king, Nzinga a Nkuwu, converted to Christianity. Cão returned to the kingdom with Roman Catholic priests and soldiers in 1491, baptizing Nzinga a Nkuwu as well as his principal nobles, starting with the ruler of Soyo, the coastal province. At the same time a literate Kongo citizen returning from Portugal opened the first school. Nzinga a Nkuwu took the Christian name of João I in honor of Portugal's king at the time, João II. João I ruled until his death around 1506 and was succeeded by his son Afonso Mvemba a Nzinga. He faced a serious challenge from a half brother, Mpanzu a Kitima. The king overcame his brother in a battle waged at Mbanza Kongo. According to Afonso's own account, sent to Portugal in 1506, he was able to win the battle thanks to the intervention of a heavenly vision of Saint James and the Virgin Mary. Inspired by these events, he subsequently designed a coat of arms for Kongo that was used by all following kings on official documents, royal paraphernalia and the like until 1860.While King João I later reverted to his traditional beliefs, Afonso I established Christianity as the state religion of his kingdom. King Afonso I worked to create a viable version of the Roman Catholic Church in Kongo, providing for its income from royal assets and taxation that provided salaries for its workers. Along with advisers from Portugal such as Rui d'Aguiar, the Portuguese royal chaplain sent to assist Kongo's religious development, Afonso created a syncretic version of Christianity that would remain a part of its culture for the rest of the kingdom's independent existence. King Afonso himself studied hard at this task. Rui d'Aguir once said Afonso I knew more of the church's tenets than he did. The Kongo church was always short of ordained clergy, and made up for it by the employment of a strong laity. Kongolese school teachers or Mestres were the anchor of this system. Recruited from the nobility and trained in the kingdom's schools, they provided religious instruction and services to others building upon Kongo's growing Christian population. At the same time, they permitted the growth of syncretic forms of Christianity which incorporated older religious ideas with Christian ones. Examples of this are the introduction of KiKongo words to translate Christian concepts. The KiKongo words ukisi (an abstract word meaning charm, but used to mean "holy") and nkanda (meaning book) were merged so that the Christian Bible became known as the nkanda ukisi. The church became known as the nzo a ukisi. While some European clergy often denounced these mixed traditions, they were never able to root them out. Part of the establishment of this church was the creation of a strong priesthood and to this end Afonso's son Henrique was sent to Europe to be educated. Henrique became an ordained priest and in 1518 was named as bishop of Utica (a North African diocese recently reclaimed from the Muslims). He returned to Kongo in the early 1520s to run Kongo's new church. He died in 1531 as he was about to go to Europe for the Council of Trent. Today, Roman Catholicism is the largest religion in Angola, the Portuguese-speaking section of the former Kongo kingdom. ... " Wikipedia *** Furthermore: " ... Slavery and royal rivalries. Despite its long establishment within his kingdom, Afonso believed that the slave trade should be subject to Kongo law. When he suspected the Portuguese of receiving illegally enslaved persons to sell, he wrote to King João III of Portugal in 1526 imploring him to put a stop to the practice. Ultimately, Afonso decided to establish a special committee to determine the legality of the enslavement of those who were being sold. A common characteristic of political life in the kingdom of Kongo was a fierce competition over succession to the throne. Afonso's own contest for the throne was intense, though little is known about it. However, a great deal is known about how such struggles took place from the contest that followed Afonso's death in late 1542 or early 1543. This is in large part due to detailed inquest conducted by royal officials in 1550, which survives in the Portuguese archives. In this inquest one can see that factions formed behind prominent men, such as Afonso I's son, Pedro Nkanga a Mvemba and Diogo Nkumbi a Mpudi, his grandson who ultimately overthrew Pedro in 1545. Although the factions placed themselves in the idiom of kinship (using the Portuguese term geração or lineage, probably kanda in Kikongo) they were not formed strictly along heredity lines since close kin were often in separate factions. The players included nobles holding appointive titles to provincial governorships, members of the royal council and also officials in the now well developed Church hierarchy. King Diogo I skillfully replaced or outmaneuvered his entrenched competitors after he was crowned in 1545. He faced a major conspiracy led by Pedro I, who had taken refuge in a church, and whom Diogo in respect of the Church's rule of asylum allowed to continue in the church. However, Diogo did conduct an inquiry into the plot, the text of which was sent to Portugal in 1552 and gives us an excellent idea of the way in which plotters hoped to overthrow the king by enticing his supporters to abandon him. Problems also arose between Diogo and the Portuguese settlers at Sao Tome known as Tomistas. According to a treaty between Kongo and Portugal, the former were only to trade within the latter's realm for slaves. That meant the Portuguese were restricted to the slaves offered by King Diogo or those he authorized to sell slaves. Every year the Tomistas would come with 12 to 15 ships to carry back between 400 and 700 slaves (5,000–10,000 slaves a year). This was not enough to take advantage of Kongo's ever-growing supply of slaves thanks to wars on its eastern frontier. The captains would try to overload their cargos, resulting in revolts. However, the factor that actually broke the deal was the Tomista habit of sailing upriver to the Malebo Pool to purchase slaves from BaTeke traders who were increasingly taken with European goods over the nzimbu shells the manikongo offered them. Enraged by this breach of contract, King Diogo broke off relations in 1555 and expelled 70 or so Portuguese living in his realm (many of whom had lived there for a long time with African wives and mixed-race children). The king's attempt at pacifying the restless kingdom of Ndongo in 1556 backfired resulting in the latter's independence. Despite this setback, he would enjoy a long reign that ended with his death in 1561. King Diogo's successor, whose name is lost to history, was killed by the Portuguese, and replaced with a bastard son, who was more pliant to Tomista interests, Afonso II. The common people of Kongo were enraged at his enthronement, and responded with riots throughout the kingdom. Many Portuguese were killed, and the royal port of Mpinda was closed to the Portuguese, effectively ending the slave trade between Kongo and Portugal. Less than a year into this chaos, King Afonso II was murdered while attending mass, by his brother, the next manikongo, Bernardo I. King Bernardo allowed the boycott of Portuguese trade to continue, while quietly reestablishing relations with Lisbon. King Bernardo I was killed warring against the Yaka, in 1567. The next manikongo, Henrique I was drawn into a war in the eastern part of the country, where he was killed, leaving the government in the hands of his stepson Álvaro Nimi a Lukeni lua Mvemba. He was crowned as Álvaro I, "by common consent," according to some witnesses. ... " Wikipedia *** And: " ... Kongo under the House of Kwilu. Álvaro also worked hard to westernize Kongo, gradually introducing European style titles for his nobles, so that the Mwene Nsundi became the Duke of Nsundi; the Mwene Mbamba became the Duke of Mbamba. The Mwene Mpemba became Marquis of Mpemba, and the Mwene Soyo became Count of Soyo. He and his son Álvaro II Nimi a Nkanga (crowned in 1587) bestowed orders of chivalry called the Order of Christ. The capital was also renamed São Salvador or "Holy Savior" in Portuguese during this period. In 1596, Álvaro's emissaries to Rome persuaded the Pope to recognize São Salvador as the cathedral of a new diocese which would include Kongo and the Portuguese territory in Angola. However, the king of Portugal won the right to nominate the bishops to this see, which would be the source of tension between the two countries. The Portuguese bishops throughout the kingdom were often favourable to European interests in a time when relations between Kongo and Angola were tense. They refused to appoint priests, forcing Kongo to rely more and more heavily on the laity. Documents of the time show that lay teachers (called mestres in Portuguese-language documents) were paid salaries and appointed by the crown, and at times Kongo kings withheld income and services to the bishops and their supporters (a tactic called "country excommunication"). Controlling revenue was vital for Kongo's kings since even Jesuit missionaries were paid salaries from the royal exchequer. At the same time as this ecclesiastical problem developed, the governors of Angola began to extend their campaigns into areas that Kongo regarded as being firmly under their sovereignty. This included the region around Nambu a Ngongo, which Governor João Furtado attacked in the mid- 1590s. Other campaigns in the vicinity would lead to denunciations by the rulers of Kongo against this violation of their sovereignty. ... " Wikipedia *** Kings of Kongo: " ...

*** Also see: BRIEF HISTORY OF THE KINGDOM OF KONGO *** Portuguese Angola or Portuguese West Africa: " ... Portuguese explorers and settlers had founded trading posts and forts along the coast of Africa since the 15th century, and reached the Angolan coast in the 16th century. Portuguese explorer Paulo Dias de Novais founded Luanda in 1575 as "São Paulo de Loanda", and the region developed as a slave trade market with the help of local Imbangala and Mbundu peoples who were notable slave hunters. Trade was mostly with the Portuguese colony of Brazil in the New World. Brazilian ships were the most numerous in the ports of Luanda and Benguela. By this time, Angola, a Portuguese colony, was in fact more like a colony of Brazil, another Portuguese colony. A strong Brazilian influence was also exercised by the Jesuits in religion and education. The philosophy of war gradually gave way to the philosophy of trade. The great trade routes and the agreements that made them possible were the driving force for activities between the different areas; warlike states become states ready to produce and to sell.In the Planalto, or high plains, the most important states were those of Bié and Bailundo, the latter being noted for its production of foodstuffs and rubber. The colonial power, Portugal, becoming ever richer and more powerful, would not tolerate the growth of these neighbouring states and subjugated them one by one, enabling Portuguese hegemony over much of the area. During the period of the Iberian Union (1580-1640), Portugal lost influence and power and made new enemies. The Dutch, a major enemy of Castile, invaded many Portuguese overseas possessions, including Luanda. The Dutch ruled Luanda from 1640 to 1648 as Fort Aardenburgh. They were seeking black slaves for use in sugarcane plantations of Northeastern Brazil (Pernambuco, Olinda and Recife), which they had also seized from Portugal. John Maurice, Prince of Nassau-Siegen, conquered the Portuguese possessions of Saint George del Mina, Saint Thomas, and Luanda on the west coast of Africa. After the dissolution of the Iberian Union in 1640, Portugal reestablished its authority over the lost territories of the Portuguese Empire. The Portuguese started to develop townships, trading posts, logging camps, and small processing factories. From 1764 onwards, there was a gradual change from a slave-based society to one based on production for domestic consumption and export. Brazil became independent in 1822 and the slave trade was abolished in 1836. In 1844, Angola's ports were opened to legal foreign shipping. By 1850, Luanda was one of the most developed cities outside Europe in the Portuguese Empire: it was full of trading companies, exporting (together with Benguela) palm and peanut oil, wax, copal, timber, ivory, cotton, coffee, and cocoa, among many other products. Maize, tobacco, dried meat and cassava flour also began to be produced locally. The Angolan bourgeoisie was born. From the 1920s to the 1960s, strong economic growth, abundant natural resources and development of infrastructure, led to the arrival of even more Portuguese settlers from the metropole. Diamond mining began in 1912, when the first gems were discovered by Portuguese prospectors in a stream of the Lunda region, in the northeast. In 1917 the Companhia de Diamantes de Angola (Diamang) was granted the concession for diamond mining and prospecting in Portuguese Angola. Diamang had exclusive mining and labor procurement rights in a huge concession in Angola and used this monopoly to become the colony's largest commercial operator and also its leading revenue generator. Its wealth was generated by African laborers, many of whom were forcibly recruited to work on the mines with Lunda's aggressive state-company recruitment methods (See also chivalo/shibalo).Work was done with shovels into the 1970s, and as late as 1947, the company saw no benefit to mechanizing its operations, because local labour was so inexpensive.Even the voluntary contract workers, or contratados, were exploited and had to build their own housing and often cheated of their wages. However Diamang, which was exempt from taxes, grew affluent in the 1930s and also realized that in a remote area like Lunda, the supply of workers was not inexhaustible and so the workers there were somewhat better treated than on some of the other mines or on the sugar plantations. On the whole African laborers performed brutal work in poor conditions for very little pay, and they were frequently cheated of that. The American sociologist Edward Ross visited rural Angola in 1924 on behalf of the Temporary Slavery Commission of the League of Nations and wrote a scathing report describing the labor system as "virtually state serfdom", that did not allow Africans time to produce their food. In addition, when their wages were embezzled, they had no access to the colonial judicial system. From the mid-1950s until 1974, iron ore was mined in Malanje, Bié, Huambo, and Huíla provinces, and production reached an average of 5.7 million tons per year between 1970 and 1974. Most of the iron ore was shipped to Japan, West Germany, and the United Kingdom, and earned almost US$50 million a year in export revenue. During 1966-67 a major iron ore terminal was built by the Portuguese at Saco, the bay just 12 km North of Moçâmedes (Namibe). The client was the Compania Mineira do Lobito, the Lobito Mining Company, which developed an iron ore mine inland at Cassinga. The construction of the mine installations and a 300 km railway were commissioned to Krupp of Germany and the modern harbour terminal to SETH, a Portuguese company owned by Højgaard & Schultz of Denmark. The small fishing town of Moçâmedes hosted construction workers, foreign engineers and their families for two years. The Ore Terminal was completed on time within one year and the first 250,000 ton ore carrier docked and loaded with ore in 1967.The Portuguese discovered petroleum in Angola in 1955. Production began in the Cuanza basin in the 1950s, in the Congo basin in the 1960s, and in the exclave of Cabinda in 1968. The Portuguese government granted operating rights for Block Zero to the Cabinda Gulf Oil Company, a subsidiary of ChevronTexaco, in 1955. Oil production surpassed the exportation of coffee as Angola's largest export in 1973. By the early 1970s, a variety of crops and livestock were produced in Portuguese Angola. In the north, cassava, coffee, and cotton were grown; in the central highlands, maize was cultivated; and in the south, where rainfall is lowest, cattle herding was prevalent. In addition, there were large plantations run by Portuguese that produced palm oil, sugarcane, bananas, and sisal. These crops were grown by commercial farmers, primarily Portuguese, and by peasant farmers, who sold some of their surplus to local Portuguese traders in exchange for supplies. The commercial farmers were dominant in marketing these crops, however, and enjoyed substantial support from the overseas province's Portuguese government in the form of technical assistance, irrigation facilities, and financial credit. They produced the great majority of the crops that were marketed in Angola's urban centres or exported for several countries. Fishing in Portuguese Angola was a major and growing industry. In the early 1970s, there were about 700 fishing boats, and the annual catch was more than 300,000 tons. Including the catch of foreign fishing fleets in Angolan waters, the combined annual catch was estimated at over 1 million tons. The Portuguese territory of Angola was a net exporter of fish products, and the ports of Moçâmedes, Luanda and Benguela were among the most important fishing harbours in the region. ... " Wikipedia. *** (Jan 2, 2017) Was recently listening to Axé music from Bahia, Brazil on the internet. According to Wikipedia " ... The word Axé comes from the Yoruba culture [Nigeria] and language, meaning “soul, light, spirit or good vibrations”. Further study reveals that Brazilians credit a large part of Axé music and Samba to specific west African traditions. I found this hard to credit as its seems clear to me that very few modern Africans have any memory of anything resembling Samba. However, it seems the cultural transfer of Samba from Africa to Brazil started before the western colonization of Africa. It also seems, modern Yoruba and other Africans make the trip to Bahia, Brazil in order to be exposed to their ancient traditions. [Jan 5, 2017: As a synchronicity or Jungian "meaningful coincidence" , Mocidade has just selected an Angolan - Carmen Mouroa, as its rainha de bateria - the 1st Angolan, and probably 1st African, to hold this title. Africa is getting its "Axé" back ... ] There is an entire underground Brazilian religion that claims specific roots in west Africa: the Candomblé religion. A great deal of the strangeness of Samba can probably be traced back to the Candomblé religion. According to Wikipedia: " ... Candomblé ... (dance in honour of the gods) is a religion, practiced mainly in Brazil by the "povo do santo" (people of the saint). Candomblé officially originated in Salvador, Bahia at the beginning of the 19th century, when the first temple was founded. Although Candomblé is practiced primarily in Brazil, it is also practiced in other Latin American countries, including Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Venezuela, having as many as two million followers. Candomblé developed in a creolization of traditional Yoruba, Fon, and Bantu beliefs brought from West Africa by enslaved captives in the Portuguese Empire. Between 1549 and 1888, the religion developed in Brazil, influenced by the knowledge of enslaved African priests who continued to teach their mythology, their culture, and language. In addition, Candomblé absorbed elements of Roman Catholicism and includes indigenous American traditions. As an oral tradition, it does not have holy scriptures. Practitioners of Candomblé believe in a Supreme Creator called Oludumaré, who is served by lesser deities, which are called Orishas. Every practitioner is believed to have their own tutelary orisha, which controls his or her destiny and acts as a protector. Music and dance are important parts of Candomblé ceremonies, since the dances enable worshippers to become possessed by the orisha's. In the rituals, participants make offerings from the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms. Candomblé does not include the duality of good and evil; each person is required to fulfill his or her destiny to the fullest, regardless of what that is. ... " Wikipedia *** Ori: " ... Practitioners traditionally believe that daily life depends on proper alignment and knowledge of one's ori. Ori literally means the head, but in spiritual matters it is taken to mean a portion of the soul that determines personal destiny and success. Ashe is the life-force that runs through all things, living and inanimate. Ashe is the power to make things happen. It is an affirmation which is used in greetings and prayers, as well as a concept of spiritual growth. Orisha devotees strive to obtain Ashe through iwa-pele or gentle and good character, and in turn they experience alignment with the ori, what others might call inner peace and satisfaction with life. Ashe is divine energy that comes from Olodumare, the Creator and is manifested through Olorun, who rules the heavens and is associated with the sun. Without the sun, no life could exist, just as life cannot exist without some degree of ashe. Ashe is sometimes associated with Eshu, the messenger Orisha. For practitioners, ashe represents a link to the eternal presence of the Supreme God, the Orisha's, and the ancestors. The concept is regularly referenced in Brazilian capoeira. "Axé" in this context is used as a greeting or farewell, in songs and as a form of praise. Saying that someone 'has axé' in capoeira is complimenting their energy, fighting spirit, and attitude. ... " Wikipedia *** Origins: " ... Candomblé originated among enslaved Africans who were transplanted to Brazil during the slave trade. From the earliest days of the slave trade, many slave owners and Catholic Church leaders felt it was important to convert enslaved Africans.They believed this would fulfill their religious obligations and lead the enslaved to be more submissive in their status.Some historians suggest that Africans were forced to give up their traditional religions to cut their ties to their pasts. Although the Church succeeded in many cases, not all slaves converted. Many outwardly practised Christianity but secretly prayed to their own God, gods, or ancestor spirits.In Brazil, adherents of Candomblé saw in the Catholic worship of saints a similarity with their own religion. Bantu followers found a shared system of worship with Brazil's indigenous people, and through this connection they re-learned the ancestor worship that was part of their own traditional systems. They often concealed the sacred symbols of their deities inside figures of their Catholic saints.In segregated communities of the country, it was easy to create Catholic fraternities where slaves would meet with each other. These meetings, however, were an opportunity for Candomblé worship to be practiced and for feasts to be held on special religious days.They were also opportunities for the enslaved to gather and plan rebellions against their masters. Candomblé was condemned by the Catholic Church. Followers of the faith were persecuted violently, including by government-led public campaigns and police action. With Catholicism as the state religion, other religious practices threatened the secular authority.The persecution stopped in the 1970s with repeal of a law requiring police permission to hold public religious ceremonies. The religion has surged in popularity in Brazil since then, with as many as two million people professing to follow this faith. It is particularly popular in Salvador, Bahia, in the northeast region of Brazil, which is more isolated from other influences and had a high percentage of enslaved Africans. Many people from African countries visit Bahia in order to learn more about the faith of their ancestors. For many followers, Candomblé is not only a matter of religious belief but also of reclaiming the cultural and historical identity of ethnic Africans, although their separate tribal identities have been obscured by peoples being mixed in communities during and after slavery. ... " Wikipedia *** Nations: " ... Brazilian slaves came from a number of African geographic regions and ethnic groups, including Igbo, Yoruba, Fon, Ewe, Kongo, and Bantu. Slave handlers classified them by the shore of embarkment, so records of ethnicity may not have been accurate, as captives were often transported overland away from native areas before being loaded on ships. As the religion developed semi-independently in different regions of Brazil, among different African ethnic groups, it evolved into several "branches" or nations (nações). These are distinguished chiefly by their set of worshiped deities, as well as the music and language used in the rituals. The division into nations was also influenced by the religious and beneficent brotherhoods (irmandades) organized by the Catholic Church among Brazilian slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. These fraternities, organized along ethnic lines to allow priests to preach who had learned the slaves' native languages, provided a legitimate cover for slave reunions. Ultimately they may have aided the development of Candomblé. The following list is a rough classification of the major nations and sub-nations, and their sacred languages: Ketu or Queto – Yoruba language, known as Iorubá or Nagô in Portuguese. Nagô derives from ànàgó, a derogatory term used by the Dahomey people to refer to Yoruba-speaking people, specifically of Oyo heritage, many of whom were sold as slaves to Brazil. *** Deities: " ... Candomblé is a polytheistic religion and worships a number of gods: the orishas of the Yoruba (Ketu nation), spelled Orixás in Portuguese; Candomblé practitioners believe that every person has their own tutelary deity which controls his or her destiny and acts as a protector. Each deity represents a certain force in nature and is associated with certain foods, colors, animals, and days of the week. A person's character or personality is strongly linked to their deity. Collectively, ancestors are called Egum in Brazil. During important ceremonies, priests and priestesses masquerade as Baba Egum and specially choreographed dances will be performed in order to become possessed of each ancestor spirit. Deities from one nation may be acculturated as "guests" in houses and ceremonies of another nation, besides those of the latter. Some nations assign new names to guest spirits, while some retain the names used in the nation of origin. ... " Wikipedia *** Rituals: " ... The Candomblé ritual has two parts: the first is the "preparation", attended only by priests and initiates, which may start a week in advance of a major ceremony. Second is the main event, a festive public "mass" and banquet that starts in the late evening and ends around midnight. In the first part, initiates and aides wash and iron the costumes for the ceremony, and decorate the house with paper flags and festoons, in the colors favored by the Orixás that are to be honored on that occasion. They also prepare food for the banquet. Some domestic animals are slaughtered; some parts reserved for sacrifice, the rest is prepared for the banquet. On the day of the ceremony, starting in the early morning, cowrie-shell divinations (jogo de búzios) are performed, and sacrifices are offered to the desired Orixás, and to the messenger spirit (Exú in Ketu). In the public part of the ceremony, "saint-children" invoke and "incorporate" Orixás, falling into a trance-like state. After falling into trance (the trance is entered by women in the group) the priest-spirits perform dances symbolic of the Orixá's attributes, while the babalorixá or father of saint (leading male priest) leads songs that celebrate the spirit's deeds. The ceremony ends with a banquet. Candomblé music, an essential part of the ritual, derives from African music. The word batuque, for instance, has entered the Brazilian vernacular as a synonym of "rhythmic percussion music". ... " Wikipedia *** Temples: " ... Candomblé temples are called houses (casas), plantations (roças), or yards (terreiros). Most Candomblé houses are small, independently owned and managed by the respective higher priests (female mãe-de-santo or male pai-de-santo). A few of the older and larger houses have a more institutional character and more formal hierarchy. There is no central administration. Inside the place of worship are the altars to the Orixás or Pejis. Candomblé priesthood is organized into symbolic families, whose members are not necessarily relatives in the common sense. Each family owns and manages one house. In most Candomblé houses, especially the larger ones, the head of the family is always a woman, the mãe-de-santo or ialorixá (mother-of-saint), seconded by the pai-de-santo or babalorixá (father-of-saint). The priests and priestesses may also be known as babalaos (interpreters of búzios), babas, and babaloxas. Some houses have a more flexible hierarchy which allows the male pai-de-santo to be the head priest. Often during the slave period, the women became the diviners and healers; the male slaves were constantly working and did not have the time to take care of daily practices. Or, when caring for children, the women had the chance to teach the knowledge of their traditions to the newer generations. Admission to the priesthood and progression in the hierarchy is conditioned to approval by the Orixás, possession of the necessary qualities, learning sacred knowledge, and taking part in the lengthy initiation rites, which last seven years or more. There are generally two types of priesthood in the various nations of Candomblé: they are divided into those who fall in a trance by the Orixá (iyawo) and those who do not (Oga – male/Ekeji – female). It is important not to confuse the meaning and usage of the Yoruba term iyawò (bride in Yoruba) with other African-derived religions, which use this same term with different meanings. The seclusion period for the initiation of an iyawo lasts generally 21 days in the Ketu nation, and varies depending on the nation. The iyawo's role in the religion is assigned by a divination made by her/his ialorixá/babalorixá. An iyawo may be assigned to care for neophytes in their initiation seclusion period, become an expert in all the Orixá foods, become an iya or babalorixa, or learn all ritual songs, etc. The iyawos follow a 7-year period of apprenticeship within which they offer periodical sacrifices in order to reinforce their initiation links, in the form of the so-called 'obligations' of 1, 3 and 7 years. At the 7th year, the iyawos earn their title and may obtain an honorific title or religious post (oye in Yoruba). Once the iyawo has accomplished their 7th-year cycle obligation, they become elders (egbomi in Brazil, which means my elder) within their religious family. ... " Wikipedia *** Notable priestesses:
