| The Origin Of Words That Define Us |
| Language reflects the deep inner values of society, the words we choose to use, say a lot about our belief system. In most instances the words we choose to use are unconsciously dependent upon our culture's values and beliefs. Most of us never question the orgin of a word, nor consider how the choice of a word shapes and defines their beliefs. Yet in the female world there are thousands of words that demean her, SLUT, WHORE, HAG, CUNT, where did these words orginate and what are there true meanings ? Surprisingly, they have a very ancient lineage, and a very different meaning to what we are taught. It is here, in the orgin of words that we see how the HERSTORY of women has been strategly and craftly hidden from her. |
| VIRGIN Not Married - not belonging to a man - one-in-her-self The word derives from a Latin root meaning STRENGTH - FORCE - SKILL and was later applied to men:VIRILE 1000- 800 AD (BCE) Independent woman (Joan of Ark) for example: Ishtar, Dianna, Astarte, Isis were all called VIRGIN which did not refer to sexual chasity, but to SEXUAL INDEPENDENCE n Interesting aside: Holy Virgins were women who dispensed the arts of healing, mid wivery, prophersy and sacred dance along with the burial of the dead, some of these Holy Virgins could choose to have children who where called PATHENIOI in Greek: Yet there is no whiff of the word Pathenioi in any of the dictonary's I looked at, yet it is a greek word and the ending IOI is roughly equivalent to 'OF" meaning BELONGING TO so we must break down the word PATHENOGENESIS PATHENO = old Greek word for VIRGIN GENESIS - possibly derived from the name of the Phoenician "Mother of all Humans 'GENEA' hence we have VIRGIN GODDESS PATHENOGENESIS - Reproduction by the development of an unfertilised egg or Development of eggs from VIRGIN females without fertilisation by spermatozoa The given dictonary origin of the word MAID - VIRGIN, GENESIS, = TO CREATE |

| CUNT KUNA = meant both Mother Earth in BASQUE old Indo European language and YONI CUNTRY meaning Earth Goddess = country As late as 1700 English peasantry still used this word CUNT with respect. Often it would be associated with a river or a township by a river mouth (river CUNNIT, now the river Kennet; township in Roman times called CUNETIO since 1740 this word CUNT had been held to be obscene and was a legal offence to print it in full, thus the Partridge Dict of Slang (1726) writes the word C*NT (Silbury treasure 110) VULVA is the accepted replacement for CUNT KALI is one of the titles of the great Devi of ancient India, the goddess was called KUNTI yoni of the UNIVERSE Many words and concepts come from this ancient word CUNINA the Roman Goddess who guards children in the cradle CUNABULA cradle, earliest abode, the place where everythig is nurtured in its beginnings CUNICLE a passageway (underground); a hole CUNNE; to enquire into, to explore, to have experience of, to prove, to test, to taste CUNNING; to know, possessing a practical skill, able, skilful, clever, possessing a magical knowledge 1874 "I threatened to prosecute the village CUNNING WOMAN whose herbal knowledge and other wisdom continued to be held in high esteem by the villagers" (Silbury 112) KUNTA (Norse) gave rise to the family of words such as KIN OF THE KUNT |

| Why is the symbol of justice a woman, when for the longest time she was not allowed to be in the legal profession. ? Why, in the Western christian religon is there no female counterpart to god, when in India they have shakti/shiva and Isis and Osiris in Egypt ? And why in this 21st century is a woman about to be stoned in Nigera ? Could it be that the model for being human is male ? If so what would that mean to women, and the world as a whole. A race that tries to suppress and undermine the feminie aspect of itself, has no real hope of evolving in balance |
| The biggest challenge that faces us today, is not climate change and how it will effect us, nor is it the threat of war, the biggest challenge we will be asked to make is to come from our hearts. Our greatest teachers have urged us to love one another, and our universal symbol of love is our hearts......yet what does coming from the heart actually mean ? |

| What would it mean for us to understand death in a different way ? What would it mean to us if we discovered that when we go to sleep at night we go to that place where we came from, and that place where we go to when we die ? That dreaming was more than what we thought, and the death state was acutally a very familar place to us ? What would that mean in our lives ? |

| Whores & Harlots Sensual health is a vital part of holistic well being, good touch, pleasure, trust are all part of completeness....thus priestess (women) who were skilled in sensual health were called one of several titles As the great Mother of Harlots Ishtar was called the great goddess of HAR. the HARINE was the spiritual ruler of Ishtar's city, thus the word HAR comes down into Persia as HOURI then to Greek as HORAE and English as WHORE Harem means the temple of the holy HARLOTS These women were renown healers These preistesses were also called GRACES and CHARITIES, they dispensed CHARIS, a combination of mother-love, tenderness, comfort, mystical enlightenment and sensual pleasure. (sensuual pleasure, sexual intercourse was once called " to dive into the waters" this was the only way a male could achieve HORASIS spiritual enlightenment, this word is in Acts 2:17 and frauduently translated to mean visions " Diving into the waters" = making love with a women (part of CHARIS = CHARITY HORASIS= Definition - the act of seeing the sense of sight, the eyes appearance, visible form a vision, an appearance divinely granted in an ecstasy or dream HARLOTS were also prophets and seers. The Hebrew word ZONAH means both prostitute and prophetess (ref: merlin stone and others) Bat Zonah (hebrew) translates to = daughter of a whore while Ben Zonah translates to Son of a whore As the males moved into the goddess religions, often as self castrated, thus mimics of the women, they were considred to be totaly ineffective unless they were married to a priestess The peace these priestess dispensed is expresssed in the goddesss name HAR. coming down to us today as HARMONY In Palestine where the queen of heaven was called QADESHET the GREAT WHORE, her harlots were honoured as QUEENS at the centres of learning in greece and Asia Minior. Some became queens, Empresss Theodora, wife to Justinian was a temple HARLOT. Constanitne's mother was a HARLOT, then the Empress and then cribbed by the church to become St Helena. Aphrodite's temple in Eryx, Cornith and Cyprus housed thousands of HARLOTS in each temple When the greeks traded their women out of voiting rights at the introduction of democracy, for retaining Athenae as Goddess of the city, the HETAERAE- HARLOTS still retained thier political and legal equality with the men. HOURI hou·ri n. pl. hou·ris A voluptuous, alluring woman. One of the beautiful virgins of the Koranic paradise. [French, from Persian r, from Arabic rya, nymph, houri, from r, pl. of 'awaru feminine of awr'u, possessing awar, intense whiteness of the sclera contrasting with deep blackness of the iris of the eye; see wr in Semitic roots.] Koranic paradise What of the rewards in paradise? The Islamic paradise is described in great sensual detail in the Koran and the Traditions; for instance, Koran sura 56 verses 12 -40 ; sura 55 verses 54-56 ; sura 76 verses 12-22. I shall quote the celebrated Penguin translation by NJ Dawood of sura 56 verses 12- 39: "They shall recline on jewelled couches face to face, and there shall wait on them immortal youths with bowls and ewers and a cup of purest wine (that will neither pain their heads nor take away their reason); with fruits of their own choice and flesh of fowls that they relish. And theirs shall be the dark-eyed houris, chaste as hidden pearls: a guerdon for their deeds... We created the houris and made them virgins, loving companions for those on the right hand..." Harlots of the Persian temples were renown for their dancing, there is much more to this than dancing in the modern sense. A snippet of how potent dance is, can be found in the Egyptian legends, wehre the LADIES OF THE HOUR (IS) danced through the night to protect the sun god RA. Each HOUR was ruled and protected by a HORI; The chrisitan church mimics this by their priests saying different prayers each hour ho·ra also ho·rah (n.) A traditional round dance of Romania and Israel. "Qadeshet or Quadishtu" the "sacred women," fell next in line, with "ishtaritu," who specialized in dancing, music and singing. The dance of the women of Ishtar can be considered the mother of the belly dance. Its components, like the belly dance's, included snake-like and vigorous hip and pelvic movements, the wafting of veils, descents to floor and the ritual wearing of a sash, linked to the girdle that was Ishtar's symbolic emblem." The oldest Hebrew dance, a circular group dance is called a HORA. in context with this word is the word HOR which means hole, a pit, cave or pool. This connects with " Diving into the waters " Thus in Spanish the word for HORA is well; PUTA from the latin PUTEUS = a cave, pit, thus PUTA can be traced back to its origins in VEDIC where PUTA means HOLY The scared HOURI also guarded the gates to heaven. HORE Frost = the white Queen The goddess of the HORITES, a semitic clan mentioned in Genesis 36 was called HORA |
| Whore 21st Century A prostitute. A person considered sexually promiscuous. A person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain. intr.v. whored, whor·ing, whores To associate or have sexual relations with prostitutes or a prostitute. To accept payment in exchange for sexual relations. To compromise one's principles for personal gain. Middle English hore, from Old English hre; see k- in Indo-European roots.] Har·lot n. A woman prostitute . Word History: Derivatives of Indo-European roots have often acquired starkly contrasting meanings. A prime example is the case of the root *k-, "to like, desire." From it was derived a stem *kro-, from which came the prehistoric Common Germanic word *hraz with the underlying meaning "one who desires" and the effective meaning "adulterer." The feminine of this, *hrn-, became hre in Old English, the ancestor of Modern English whore. In another branch of the Indo-European family, the same stem *kro- produced the Latin word crus, "dear." This word has several derivatives borrowed into English, including caress, cherish, and charity, in Christian doctrine the highest form of love and the greatest of the theological virtues.· Another derivative of the root *k- in Indo-European was *kmo-, a descendant of which is the Sanskrit word for "love," kma, appearing in the name of the most famous treatise on love and lovemaking, the Kamasutra. HAREM A house or a section of a house reserved for women members of a Muslim household. The wives, concubines, female relatives, and servants occupying such a place. A group of women sexual partners for one man. |
