Water For the World
A Nice Little Goddess
I've currently scrapped my book, "Goddess of the Waters" for now, due to us impoverished persons lacking the necessary word-processing equipment to make it a practical reality. To put it in a nutshell, the Image of the Goddess Artemis as the Ephesians depicted her contains instructions in images how to survive in the wild (you can see her picture drawn in Murray's "Manual of Mythology" or many other sources, or a reproduction of her statue in the JBL Statues site), namely "eat pine nuts, drink pine dew, and sit under the first pine tree you find and wait until help arrives; be still even if there are wild animals around". If necessary, strategies for warmth are built on this foundation.
With regards to the currenty held views, pine nuts as the breasts of the many-breasted goddess take precedence because of the much, much wider distribution of the pine tree, and her crown being identified as the Magnesian gates may be overturned (since this is probably far too generic) in favor of the crown being an aqueduct. In accordance with her identification with the pine is the theme that the pine can be expected to be perhaps the most plentiful source of morning dew for drinking water, owing to its color, its cool and waxy texture, and its fine division which may drastically increase the surface area available for water to condense on. Thus, since she "is" a pine, its needles "are" her hair, and her hair gives forth pure life-giving water from a nurturing Goddess of water and purity; she is crowned with an aquaduct.
Another great virtue of the pine in this regard is that it is also readily identifiable in a great number of instances.
While other more mystical meanings of the image are obvious, this primary value rightly might shed some doubt about the value of the Goddess' social functions and the validity of Biblical disparagement of the Ephesians.
It is also my contention that the silver temple-facades mentioned in the Bible can be demonstrated to be part of a tradition of the understanding of electrochemistry, so that the jewelry itself may purify water for drinking, much as silver iodide was used in the 1900's for this same purpose (see "Water Purification Tablets"), or a reversing of poles of the sort of apparatus sold on "infomercials" and tv spots for cleaning silver with a conductor plate in electrolyte solution.
Certain sacred spiral designs also appear in a number of cultures in such positions as to suggest they are associated with the same purposes, due to a formidable ancient understanding of their
electrical and energetic properties. Spirals at Newgrange have been reported to deliver electric shocks.
Scott Cunningham and David Carrington write in "The Magical Household" (pg xiii): "A wooden bucket swung in the stone well, which was amply guarded from contamination by the deeply carved spirals and stars surrounding it".
More relevant notions about the magickal purification of food and water can be found for the meantime on the page of this site entitled "Just Superstition!?!?! Think Again!" , and a list of references to more "mundane" ways of obtaining clean water can be found on the first "Astounding Information" page of this site. As Rex Research's Bob Nelson says, the technology could save untold lives if it were put to use.
Further variations of these methods could be added to the arsenal of water purification and accumulation methods presented by Rex Research and Waves Forest .
Suffice it to say that contemplation of areas such as this unlock resourcefulness and creativity, and help dispel myths of scarcity
and overpopulation, allowing the spiritual regard for the sanctity of life to be expressed in reality.
Ancient Greek spoons shown at left, featuring spirals and even possibly atomic designs. Were they once "enchanted" electromagnetically so that they would remove or neutralize any contaminants in food or water they were being used with?
Do the spiral traces promote this effect- perhaps a superconductor-driven phase transition? Just like spiral grooves, painted spiral traces may fufill the criteria of surface superconductors as described by Ken Whitesides in Omni magazine- or are they technically radionic devices, or both?
Or, perhaps ancient pagans utilized the well known electrical affinities of "weather charm" woods to help establish these effects, properties that may have once made "witche's brooms" a reality, to achieve electrochemical effects...
The Celtic "thunderer", largely associated with the electrical lightning God, Jupiter or Zeus. While the object he holds in his right hand is given to various interpretations, it's probably a hypersymbol that attempts to communicate most or all of such meanings. Amongst them are reference to the Egyptian torsion press, and various phenomenon of precipitation related to vortex phenomena. Very similar are the worm-associations of Artemis and her "-disposer-" and "-water-" epithets, reflecting such concerns as inlcude the spiralling, evaporating dew associable with Postvorta and Antevorta, whose names contain the "vortex" root.
The use of the wheel in this instance may reflect something of understated significance. It may symbolize for us the cyclic progression of nature, the seasons, and so forth, but just as the Egyptians and others may have taken incredible pains use markers of the earth's precession to indicate the importance of the precession of atoms and all of the miracle magick that may go with it, the wheel and the cycles of seasons may be called upon to communicate another phenomena of considerable importance, the process of phase transitions, which may be a critical common denominator in magickal feats, including the spontaneous acquisition, seperation, and purification of water.
