The All was female? sometimes that is the story, yes. parturition usually. # and she created her male counterpart? IS this correct? what makes a story correct? do you really think dimorphous sex preceded all things? doesn't this make more sense seen as a poetic and wishful projection back into the past? # I was under the impression that the All ([Deity]) was not # of gender are stories like that agreed on by Wiccans? # and the expression of [Deity] was of the polar opposites # male and female. this is one of the more common themes for Wiccan (Neo- Pagan?) cosmology. there's a strong het Current in it. magical tool symbolism seems heavily weighted toward this bias and it is in some sense transcendentalized. # What's up? basically, a lack of evidence and stories that may have greater popularity within some sectors than others. compare tribes/clans with their own manivaried stories of the gods in India and the Americas. blessed beast! lorax666
