“The purpose of the Genesis story is to explain the loss of that long, slow paradise that today we call the Paleolithic—an epoch of history in which our ancestors lived not only in a sustainable relationship to the Earth but in a joyous and loving one as well. In one of the greatest bait and switches of all time, that loss is blamed on Eve, whose name means, tellingly, ‘Mother of All Life.’

In a final bid for patriarchal power, the Bible separates the Goddess from one of her oldest animal allies. For tens of thousands of years before Genesis was written, the serpent was the ultimate symbol of reincarnation and renewal. The ouroboros (a snake swallowing its own tail) signified the eternal cycles of birth, death, and rebirth that were the source of the Goddess’s power. In Genesis that life-sustaining circle is broken, and the serpent becomes evil instead. The natural world was no longer considered sentient and divine. The mutilation and exploitation of our Mother’s body could continue uninterrupted down to the present day.

And yet, the final victory is always hers. Empires rise and fall. Whole civilizations vanish into vast deserts of geological time. But life remains. The Mother remains…

The history of human domination of the Earth is, finally, a relatively brief and misguided fiction. We may still be living inside of that fiction, but this doesn’t change the facts. The Great Mother cannot be divided. And she cannot be defeated or destroyed.”

“If I find the magic woman,
her seven day candles alight,
I will walk all night
towards her house
made of grass,
made of chicken feet,
made of spells.

I’ll leave now,
follow the smell of her
smokey cedar hair.

If I find her, I will call you.
We can go together. All night
we’ll walk through the forest,
following witch marks
on old growth oak trees.

If we find her, we can sleep
beneath her worn-in cape,
remember how flight feels
against our bodies.

In her place
we can dream her dreams,
awaken to bundles of
dried wildflowers dangling
above our heads,
the old witch
hovering above her pot
of mushroom soup,
stirring the ladle
counter clockwise.”

Morning comes every day; the sunrise does not fail, nor the sunset. Give it time. That is all that may be required. Just give it time. Do not try to push the river. The cycles of life present themselves, play themselves out, and make smooth every passage and terrain. Try not to get caught up in your story of the moment. Look, rather, to the Long Story. Therein will be found your peace. The cycles will redeem this moment, if you let them, and even this shall pass.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
