“My life as a “Woman-child”
“My life as a “Woman-child” was greatly influenced by my culture’s myths. Especially those drawn from the bible. Most of us know the general tenor of the popular story: God created Adam, and everything was fine. Then God created Eve. Eve listened to the snake and ate “the apple” (fig, or pomegranate maybe) and the whole world has been messed up ever since that day. So, Woman is the root of all evil. And she must be controlled at any cost.
But is that what the myth really tells us? Let’s take a look.”
Excerpted in an Original Resistance: Reclaiming Lilith, Reclaiming Ourselves essay entitled, ''Lilith and Eve.'' The anthology can be purchased at www.thegirl.god.com.
Please note, this recording comes from a recorded Zoom Lilith Circle, and does cut out at some points. But I felt it was so powerful, it should be shared with a wider audience.
