Act II ~ Discovering The Wetikó
Episode Seven ~ HERstory!!!
It doesn’t matter how long you have forgotten, only how soon you remember.
–Buddha–
According to the HIStorical record, approximately 6,000 years ago, humans “invented” writing and began to record their experiences using this “newfangled” art form.
And, thus, HIStory began!
I am capitalizing the “HIS,” because by any standard, even a cursory review of the past 6,000 years reveals a…more-or-less…worldwide human paradigm dominated by men…
…and a male-gendered God/Divine Creator.
But before HIStory began…HERstory was the narrative by which we existed!
“HER,” being The Divine Feminine energy that permeates our realm!
Today, in many areas of the world, She is known by the NAME!, “Gaia.”
I feel that it is essential to start the journey of Discovering The Wetikó so far back into the past because…if we are to Discover The Wetikó’s influence throughout our evolution as a species, as is Act II‘s goal, then the elements and aspects of HERstory…discussed herein…go a long way towards contextualizing the vast 6,000-year-long HIStory of patriarchal (male/Wetikó-dominated) culture, through which we…and our more “recent” ancestors…traversed, leading up to today!
And anyway…for me…HERstory is FAR more fascinating than HIS! So let us start with the “cool” stuff…before we venture into the “darkness” of our collective ignorance!
“We are a species with amnesia!”
