About
Once upon a time there was a girl who grew up in a half-world. It was a world where the sun reigned supreme. It was a beautiful, vibrant world. The world was buzzing with intellectual pursuits, logic, realism and pragmatism. It was a thriving, structured world and everybody was busy. The values held dear in her world included being rational, efficient and competitive. Her world was ruled through aggression, force and domination and has been ruled that way for thousands of years. Everyone worshipped the masculine Sun God who shone incessantly down on them in his relentless glory. It seemed like the perfect place to be.Selene was reasonably happy in this half-world because it was all she knew. But she always felt as though something was missing. Her world felt out of balance and out of control. She felt there had to be more to life. She had climbed the mountain of achievement and swaSelenes' Storym in the current of materialism and stood beneath the brilliant rays of the sun. But still she felt lost.
One day she was trying to sleep, curtains drawn tightly against the dazzling rays of the sun which never set, when she had a dream. In the dream an ancient woman approached her through swirling fog. The woman looked old and very ill. The woman reached out to Selene. She whispered:” Selene, you are Goddess. You are the other half. Seek the power and restore balance to a dying world. Your name will lead you.”
Selene awoke with a start. Immediately her world of logic and common sense told her that it was only a dream. It didn’t mean anything. She got up and went to work under the luminous eyes of the Sun God.
But she found that she couldn’t stop thinking about what the woman had said. She tried to ignore the feeling that she had to do something about it because in her half-world, feelings didn’t account for anything…
"Your name will lead you.” She found she couldn’t concentrate on anything else. Maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to find out what her name means. Just for the fun of it. Doing something useless for fun is not so bad. Just a long as she doesn’t take these things seriously, Selene eventually thought. Using all the powers of her practiced intellect, she went searching.
The book was on a bottom shelf where nobody ever ventures. Selene - Goddess of the Moon. What is a moon? What is a Goddess? She was mystified as she blew the layers of ancient dust from the silver cover and started to read.
She read about times before time and learned about worlds that were complete. She read about misty, cool soothing nights under a holy moon. She learned about passion and love and joy. She discovered the missing half of her world and of herself. She longed to experience magic, fantasy, moistness and the wildness of untamed nature. She wanted to know what it feels like to lose yourself in a dance. She needed the pull of the moon on the tides of her body. She felt the stirring of intuition and connectedness in her soul and fell in love with her new half. And she met the Goddess.
Selene realized that she has been living in a world where the Goddess was buried and forgotten; a world where She was ridiculed and sometimes even murdered. And the world was poorer and out of kilt because of her absence.
The values of her world have been directed toward maleness and the female traits have been rejected, pushed from society. The Goddess was tolerated in areas where it wouldn’t influence society. Female powers like intuition, surrender, tenderness and nurturing were paternalistically smiled upon but pushed aside when important decisions needed to be made.
Selene decided to bring the Goddess back to the people of her world. She realized that women are instruments of the Goddess. Through being negated they have lost all confidence in their ability to reign hand-in-hand with the Sun God. The Goddess must awaken in our hearts before she will awaken in the world. The Goddess will not enter us from outside; she will emerge from deep within. Selene knew she had to share this vision with the other women of her world. These were gifts they were supposed to spread throughout the Kingdom of the Sun God. Not to take His place but to reign next to Him and bring balance to the world.

Lawful must be the word then.
By silly and boring human beliefs...
I guess it is not so bad.
I mean,
one day I want to be a mass murderer.
really now?
Goodness shall always prevail.
Lol,
or justice. XD
But why S.I.N?
Just because it is "different" even though more people are in S.I.N than B.O.O?
Or that it is 'demonic'?
Eh,
oh well.
ENjoy them anyhow.~
