many of the feminine deities in mythology were raped. persephone, dinah, hera, medusa, i won’t go on

they say rape is about power. that’s probably so, i have never had the guts to look far into it
maybe it’s also about stealing someone’s power, someone that has more power

before the catholic religion of patriarchy took reign, the goddess was considered the supreme force – of course, she can create life which is the essence of the Divine, ‘the Creator’. and then she was defiled and banished from existence, banished from our consciousness “Our Father” “Father Son and Holy Spirit” “The (menstrual) blood of Christ we get from a man from a ritual”
they tried to take her power from her. just as the gods attempted to. im a bit nervous to post this, i dont want to upset anyone, im not sure where this came from its a very small amount of words for what i havent figured out how to say
