We have a material record of Her presence for millennia, despite toxic patriarchy. We are also homo faber in our embodied actions that leave no material trace yet influence critical moments in someone’s story. Two fascinating goddesses—Inanna and Demeter—owe their being to the actions of a supposedly small or minor character, which only goes to show: there are no small parts, only small actors. This presentation explores two goddess makers: the warrior ally Ninshuber, who performed a pivotal role in Inanna’s release from the Sumerian underworld, and the crone/midwife/trickster Baubo, whose lascivious dance punctured Demeter’s paralyzing despair.”— Elizabeth Nelson, Warrior Allies & Bawdy CronesReferences:https://www.elizabethnelson-phd.comPsyche's Knife: Archetypal Explorations of Love and PowerThe Porn Addicted Magician (essay) https://thevale.substack.com/p/the-porn-addicted-magicianJames Hillman: In Defense of Pornography https://youtu.be/1EZjekNE2qwJames Hillman, Pink Madness https://youtu.be/2hy0vZPpoDs___________________________🔥 SUPPORT & SOUL WORKJoin the pack on Patreon: http://patreon.com/howlinthewildernessDepth Counseling with Brian James: http://brianjames.caArchetypal Men’s Coaching Program: http://brianjames.ca/fourinitiationsPersonal Myth Program: http://brianjames.ca/personalmythFollow me on Instagram: http://instagram.com/brianjames.soulworkHITW YouTube channel: http://youtube.com/@howlinthewildernessSend a donation via PayPal: http://paypal.me/brianjamessoulTags: myth, jung, feminism, archetypes, depth psychology, podcast
