Pretending to be productive while sick

Yeah, something going around caught me. See, I never can understand the "catch a ____" thing, they catch us. ~;p This one is a gut one, which is more likely to keep me home than respiratory stuff. Hopefully I'm back up and at them tomorrow night

Something jarred my memory, but I remember reading in Archaeology magazine about 10 years ago an article in which a rep from the academic community confronted some of the widely held goddess worship/matriarchal society beliefs and basically had nothing supportive to say about that theory. I will try to do some JStor searches and see if I can find that issue ... or else go through my ten years or more of back issues that are catalogued or in any sort of order. But yeah, that was my closest contact with the topic. It made sense, but I don't think it was earth-shattering for the layperson, just an interesting article. I think that it might be a more persistent conversation in the archaeological/anthropological community.

So, with that background, if you need a reader/editor/friendly eye, let me know. I'd be interested to read what you have.

It's an earth-shattering idea to factions of the NeoPagan and Feminist Spirituality community/ies (not always the same community, many crossovers, these factions are among the crossovers). I almost got a pacifist feminist to hit me over it at Goddard, Gods it would have been so great...proving my point that women are not by nature passive. Of course, she'd not actually have landed that punch, but close enough to prove my point. ~;P

I just sent a facebook recommendation to you: "Suppressed History Archives", the description is: "Restoring women to cultural memory, political analysis, spiritual awareness. Female icons and spheres of power, mother-right, patriarchies. Conquest, slavery, class and empire. Aboriginal philosophies, shamanic arts, seers, healers. And more..."

I should have earlier, as there seem to have been some good examples of evidence of physical feminism here and there from different cultures - scroll back... I haven't seen anything on Celtic cultures particularly, but I don't always look at everything. It may be a good source for something to come along though.

LOL I almost did that too, as I popped in from my email. I've joined the page and will look through past postings and keep my eyes open. Thank you!

When I can keep them open long enough. (went to work, made two rounds, realized I couldn't hold down lunch and just came home instead...some jobs I might be able to do with no fuel, not so much this one)
