1. I was going to change mine to CitizenGrumpy or GoodyGrumpy,
but that last part of Skinner's post has made me feel guilty about it. :hi:

39. Seriously, should I change my name?
I selected it at a time when I had a very negative view of the presidential campaign and I secretly feared the worst.

At first glance, it is far more appropriate now.

Still, I suffer from a bit of cognitive dissonance now whenever I post that I'll never stop fighting, that we're going to make it through this, signed End of all Hope. Some have suggested that it makes me look disingenuous.

Hekate Donating Member (1000+ posts) Send PM | Profile | Ignore Mon Nov-08-04 05:54 PM
Response to Original message
49. I'm still having an Underworld experience...
I chose Hekate for a lot of reasons and will probably stick with her regardless.

On the DU side of things, of course it has to do with feeling like hell, feeling like we're in one of the hells, wanting to snarl at members of BushCo "See you at the crossroads of Hell, buddy," and I'm sure your imaginations can fill in the rest. That has not changed.

Beyond that, Hekate holds a respected place as the third of Demeter's Triad of Maiden, Mother, Crone. I've been working with the Demeter/Persephone myth of mother/daughter loss for years; I've moved beyond Mother so it's time to embrace the next part. Hekate has an underworld aspect but is the only one of the immortals who can travel from Olympus to Earth to the Underworld and back again; she's where three ways meet in both Earth and the Underworld (decision); and she's a midwife.

When I first came to DU as Hekate, MaRadix hailed me as "Queen of Wisdom." Ha -- thanks -- I can only hope!

Yesterday morning I became a grandmother when my daughter gave birth, and as it happened, MaRadix was the spiritual midwife. The beautiful boy we welcome is named Orion. Thinking of him now, I smile and remember to not give in to despair -- we have a lot of work to do...

Hekate
now, more than ever

53. I have given it a lot of consideration - guilt by association
I can't help but wonder if some people subconsciously think that "Rev." Karl might be a judgmental fundie bastard in disguise. You know, like "How dare you disagree with me you religious nut!!" And I'm not - it used to be a joke, back before 11/3 happened.
