This Season Of Christ…
Isis With Baby Horus – Yemaya and Mary – Altar Arrangement and Photograph by Toni Roberts
Our conquerors taught us that there is nothing sacred in the stars or in the moon…that there is no magic in a singing brook or roaring ocean…no great mysteries in all the changing seasons…not in the glorious, bursting colors of fall…or in the holy silence of a snowy winter day…
Our conquerors destroyed our connection with the Mother…taught us to feel shame at our love for HER…
Our conquerors replaced Isis…Osiris and Horus with a tale about Mary…Joseph…and Jesus…their male child…who so resembled our conquerors…
They told us that this Jesus was a “mangod…” to be obeyed and worshipped…
And more than two thousand years later…like obedient children…we still bend our knees in prayer and worship before Jesus the “mangod…” of our conquerors…of those who tortured and murdered our forefathers…raped our foremothers…destroyed our ancient civilizations…stole our gold…silver…and diamond-filled lands…ripping us from our natural and holy way of life…into enslavement…
And yet…more than two thousand years later…we continue to repeat the fable…the myth we were taught by our conquerors…
We continue to pray to…and worship his “mangod…”
Who have we become…?
More than two thousand years later…?
We…First Humans of planet earth…
Who are we now…? In this new world…?
One created by our conquerors…?
Let us ponder this…this Christmas season…
This season of the “mangod…”
The Christ…
Of our conquerors…
