Once upon a time, before the money-grubbing, child-raping christians of The Church (NOT the band) started cranking out The Crusades/the original genocide machine and spewing fear into the minds and hearts of the European folks, most people followed a lunar/pagan calendar.
"Herb, how did we get here?"
The word Easter comes from the name Eostre/Ostara- who is a Germanic dawn goddess who is associated with the vernal equinox, the beginning of the Sun-rise of the astrological wheel/year- Sun in Aries, mating rites of spring and the blessings of the Earth in Her ripening.
Her totem is a hare or a rabbit. Perfect animal for her since many creatures- including us humans- are inclined to f*ck like bunnies in the spring, no? Even the trees are releasing their seed/pollen!

EEEK!
Now back to the evildoers of manufactured fear and guilt:
WTF
Nightmare fodder
But I digress...
Like any smart-assed narcissist, these sly bastards put themselves first and ignored a few important details which to this day, we are blessed to still have reminders of. Remember- there was no separation of church and state [is there now??? not enough!] the church dudes were the suckas who set the taxes and collected them and punished those who could/did not pay. (See also: greed begets more greed, Wall Street, Lindsey Lohan's dad, modern day financial bullsh*t and more!) Building grand buildings to honor themselves god was not cheap. No siree Bob, it was not, it was muy dinero! So what does the filthy rich squad of churchians do? They start extra recruitment of the "heathen" sect whereas they scare the daylights out of them with false reenactments of what happens to those who do not "believe" in their monotheistic, judgmental biblematic god. Oh, and aside from people, they burn their crops too! Add to that, they rape/beat them if the to-be-converts didn't "believe" and stuff.
That's cool, right?
At this point, it is safe to admit I have ZERO tolerance for the christian church's history. Fuck those lying bastards. Fuck the Catholic child molesters. Fuck the fear-mongers. Fuck them all.
And NO, I am not an Athiest, although I "get" those who are more than I "get" those who blindly go along with any church's teachings. I try to veer from any extremist groups. Fucking mindless sheeple, the whole lot!
would someone please explain this to me
But I won't hold back when people defend the religiously absurd.
VETO!
LOOK at the shoes.
And what do we have instead?
ZOMBIE JESUS!
This coming from idiots people who believe it is evil to see ghosts. Evil to talk to the dead.
BUT OKAY for some dude to start decomposing after a few jolly days deceased in a cave, then poof! "Hey guys, I'm here! Miss me?" He's now "risen" from the dead.
So go to church on Sun-day and wear a stupid hat, teach your babies that thoughtless tradition is the way to live, overeat candy till you puke.
That's fine.
That's fine.
The original designers and builders were masons who kept hidden their rich pagan-based world of beliefs and history. They built the holy buildings with pagan concepts infused in them. Built them according to the cardinal directions, many directly on lay lines of high Earthy majikal energy vortexes. Carved wiccan and pagan symbols in stones that they set into structural walls. Why? Because they wanted those remaining folks to go to these grand buildings and pray to their own Gods and Goddesses and have reminders of the old ways in the same buildings the new god and new ways.
It was not just the masons who infused ancient pagan culture into the present. Much of it is still being passed down by story, by word of mouth, by bloodlines. Because they may have burned down the ritual forests, burned the her-story libraries and art, burned the very people they found threatening, and succeeded at birthing a new group of taxpayers who were trainable and gripped in the clutch of fear, but some of us come from long lines of the natural kin whose story did not burn up in a fire.
That cannot be taken away.
Happy Zombie Jesus Day, Bitches!
Can't argue with the history.
ReplyDeleteAnd there's my new favorite expression, too!
Can't argue with HER-story either! [hardyharhar]
DeleteZOMBIE JESUS loves you...
if you buy him a beer
Love love love this post.
ReplyDeleteThe arguments between my Pastor brother and I, about the fact that Christianity has raped every holiday/festival from pagans, is one that has been raging for years.
But then he does believe that Pokemon is the work of Satan...mind you, after watching a few episodes, I might be inclined to agree.
Why is it that amazing insightful folks such as ourselves [and the chick from Footloose] have crazed/religious families?
Deleteto teach them how to not suck, I guess. too bad they are not quick learners!
I have to laugh at some of the great pains are going through to try to appear cool and not out of touch with youth. I got a picture in my eamil the other day of a sign on a church lawn: Don't feel alone on Good Friday, come hang with Jesus.
ReplyDeletePlease post that sign in a blog so I may grab it... or better yet- email it to me. come hang with jesus... priceless!
DeleteThere was so much I learned today, and here's what I have to say about that: how dare you! It's Saturday. Nothing but drinking should be done on Saturdays. That's what my pagan friends taught me. They taught me many things that sent me running.
