"Companions on the long journey back home"... a lovely bitter-sweet note to end there sir, as it is a reminder too of how far away we may currently (perceive ourselves to) be.
I was chatting with "Artist as Family" on Substack lately, about deities of the sky and the Medicine/Shakti of the earth:
Goddesses are still of the sky/imaginal. Yearning in moral sentiment, in its many representations and artistic media, still separates from (the magickal power of) what one really wants, when in fact vengeful darknesses are involved.
Hephaestus might appreciate how in the Surah on Iron in the Qur'an, the author assures us that "We sent down iron wherein is mighty power and benefits for men". A Kali Yuga Mercy. Generous and all encompassing.
No matter how far from the centre (maybe especially when very far), all things are redeemed, in whatever pride they may have accumulated on the way, when taken as Signs pointing back to the Source. "To the Source we all belong, and to the Source we are all returning". How's that for shamanic healing vision.
