Week Nine Entry: Sun's and Daughters

Sep 25, 2008 20:16

This week in the lecture we wrapped up our analysis of the Daughters of Albion. Interesting comment someone made about the sun though. We kind of take it for granted unless it burns us. But as long as it works we dont care how it works as long as it does. Such a humanistic mentality. MG was quite right in referencing the Ancient Egyptians who so revered the power of the sun that they worshiped it as the highest of the Gods RA, and in some instances little space men came to earth under this pretensis to enslave the world.

The Aztecs also worshiped the sun to the point of human sacrifice. I don't see anyone in the modern day and age offering up any big macs to our glowing life giver. If the sun had feelings I am sure it would be rather hurt by this lack of devotion that was once bestowed upon by the ancients.
