Okay, so, I didn't get raised Catholic or Protestant or anything like that.

I got raised on a Flower Farm and the belief structure was centered around The Sacred Feminine, The Goddess, Magic, Spirits, and Philosophy.

And there was a Christ figure here too, lifted right from Frank Herbert's Dune: The Kwizach-Haderach. The Shortening of the Way. A -Male- Witch who could seek the ancestral Feminine as well as the ancestral Masculine, and be in many places at the same time.

And growing up, I thought it was kinda Hokey and Fiction and 'Yeah, whatever'. I was in some Serious Denial.

And now I look around, and I'm Astounded. I'm not the only one who's This Thing. I know Many shamans, spirit callers, and folks who long to exist in Both places at the same time. Either one foot in Male, and the other in Female, or one foot in Reality and the other in the Spirit World.

It's upsetting when you find out that all the old stories are Real. Or real enough to make Sense. It's further upsetting when you end up Being something that your Faith, Growing up, Considered an Impossibility.

And now? We're Everywhere. The Christians were waiting on a Second Coming of Their Christ.

I look around and I see a Legion of Christ figures, All doing their best to figure out the Nuts and Bolts of how to Love everyone.
