Female Friendly Femdom
Femdom is a paradox: Because it should be about Women dominating men. Yet the reality is, that many FemDom men, 'top from the bottom'. Where, they demand and tell Women how act out their sexual fantasies. True Dominant Women do not like this and for this reason reject FemDom completely. This is why there are far more men within Femdom than Women. So I am advocating true FemDom where men do not make any demands on Women and their role is only to serve and do only what the Women want.

Gynocentric Christianity
Ancient Priestess, (Crete) |
Introduction
We
are today are so use to male domination religions that only worship a
male god with an exclusive male priesthood, that most of us don’t
question this. As the result, many people would be shocked if we had
a religion that only worships a female deity with only a female
priesthood.
So
to balance this up I thought I’ll write about a female dominated
religion and explain what it would be like. I have focused on
Christianity because much of the teachings of Jesus seem to be very
feminine in nature and would make more sense in a Goddess religion.
Anyway
I have written a book of Nine chapter about my ideas on this and
published it on this blog.
It
starts off with Jesus’s teachings like “turn the other cheek”
as well as they way he allowed himself to be betrayed, whipped and
crucified. Pointing out the similarity in his teachings and behaviour
with Femdom men.
I
then go on to write about Gnostic Gospel, “The Sophia of Jesus
Christ” and link the Goddess Sophia with the Ancient Great Mother
and the Golden Age. I also link this with the work of the
archaeologist Mariji Gimbutas.
I
also mention the sacrificial/saviour gods before Jesus like Osiris,
Orpheus, Dionysus, Bacchus, Mithras and Odin.
Finally
I go into mysticism and the dance between the feminine and masculine.
Where the feminine talking us back to a world of Oneness and harmony
and the masculine taking us into individuality but also separation,
conflict and chaos. Then why it is important for the feminine to
dominate and control the masculine to prevent it destroying our
world.
Gynocentric Christianity: Chapter One
Jesus Meek and Mild
In
most Christian Churches we find main focus is a image of a half naked
man called Jesus nailed to a cross. Looking at this objectively
without any religious explanations, this is an extremely weird image.
Christians
do attempt to explain Jesus’s crucifixion and claimed he died for
our sins. Though Christians disagree about what this means. As a
child every time I went to church I was told the following.
“For
God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
Suggesting
that it was God’s idea to have Jesus crucified, though why he had
to do this to grant people eternal life, is not made clear. Some
Christians claim that Jesus was the Passover Lamb. In this Jewish
ritual all the sins of the community was put on the lamb and was then
sacrificed. While other Christians claim that Jesus was sacrificed to
appease an angry God. Which is not the behaviour of a loving,
reasonable or even sensible deity.
Human
sacrifice to appease an angry male god is nothing new and was
commonplace in ancient times. We see this in the Bible in the book of
Genesis where Abraham was commanded by God to sacrifice his son
Isaac, but at the last moment God changed his mind and Isaac was
saved. After this there was no more human sacrifice in Judaism. So
it wouldn’t make sense for Jesus to be sacrificed if he was Jewish.
So there has to be another explanation for this.
To
try and make sense of all this, we can get from Christians long
convoluted explanations like the following.
“When
we say "Jesus died for our sins," we are saying that He
died because of our sins. Sin leads to death (Romans 6:23). We were
sinners consigned to death, and we had no way to stop sinning. Jesus
came into our world and lived a perfect life, so death had no hold on
Him. Yet, in His grace, Jesus chose to die on our behalf. He took our
punishment for us. As He died "for our sins," as our
substitute, He prayed that we would be forgiven. Since our penalty
has already been paid, God will forgive all who put their trust in
Jesus.”
The
behaviour Jesus doesn’t make sense, as he knowing allowed Judas to
betray him, he made no resistance to his arrest, he refused to defend
himself against any accusation, and finally allowed himself to be
whipped, abused and finally crucified. So if we take away all the
religious justifications for his behaviour, we are left with a man
with that seems to have extreme masochistic tendencies.
We
even find this in his in his teachings. As we can see in the
following two examples, taken from the King James version of the
Bible.
In
Matthew chapter 5 verse 38
Ye
have heard that it hath been said. And eye for an eye a tooth for a
tooth:
But
I say unto you. That ye resist not evil: but whosoever she smite
thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
And
if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him
have thy cloak also.
And
whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
Give
to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee and
not turn not thou away.
Ye
have heard that it hath been said. Thou shalt love thy neighbour,
and hate thine enemy.
But
I say unto you. Love your enemies, bless them that hate you, and
pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you:
That
ye many be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he
maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth the
rain on the just and on the unjust.
We
can see a similar concept in another Gospel.
Luke
chapter 6 verse 27
But
I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which
hate you.
Bless
them that curse you and pray for them which despitefully use you.
And
unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and
him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take away thy coat also.
Give
to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy
goods ask them not again
And
as ye would that man should do to you, do also to them likewise
For
if ye love them which love you, what thanks have ye for sinners also,
love those that love them.
And
if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? For
sinners also do even the same.
And
if ye lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thank ye? For
sinners also lend to sinners, to receive much gain.
But
love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend hoping for nothing again;
and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the
highest: For he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
Be
ye therefore merciful, as your Father is merciful.
Judge
not and ye shall not be judged: condemn not and ye shall not be
condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.
Now
for obvious reasons many Christians are embarrassed by such teachings
and try to ignore them as it makes Jesus seem like a wimp. This is
why many Christians prefer the teachings of the Old Testament with
its macho heroes like David, Moses and Samson who stood up for
themselves and fought back.
Yet
clearly if every man was to follow Jesus’s masochistic teachings we
would live in a far more caring, loving and compassionate world.
Jesus
also said, “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the
earth.” (Matthew 5:5). The joke that goes with this is, “If
that’s alright with everyone else”. Suggesting that aggressive
and competitive people will always end up ruling the world.
So
this then seems to be the problem. Yes, if would be great if every
man was to act and behave like Jesus as it would end conflict, wars
and oppression in our world. But in the end he was totally
defenceless and unable to fight back when aggressive and violent
people decided to arrest him on trumped up charges, then abuse and
crucify him.
The
Bible has no-answer to this. But we also know that his teachings were
probably censored as many versions of the Bible was destroyed when
Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire. In the
20th century some of these lost gospels were re-discovered and called
the Gnostic Gospels. One of these is the “Sophia of Jesus Christ”.
Sophia was the ancient Jewish Goddess of wisdom before Judaism became
a monolithic religion.
In
the “Sophia of Jesus Christ” or "Pistis Sophia" she is called, “the Mother of the
Universe”. In ancient times people worshipped the Great Mother who
gave birth to the universe, so this is telling us that Sophia is the
ancient Great Mother. This then gives us a clue for why Jesus
voluntary sacrificed himself.
Scholars,
points out that the story of Jesus is not original or unique because
many pagan gods like Osiris, Orpheus, Dionysus, Bacchus, Mithras,
Odin, Bader and Loki also had similar histories. The story of a
god-man who performed miracles like healing the sick, then was
condemned to death and crucified was commonplace in many
pre-Christian religions. Most of these gods died on trees or stakes
and some like Dionysus and Jesus died on crosses.
Though
Osiris was murdered by his brother Set or Seth and cut up into many
pieces, before the Goddess Isis found all pieces and magically
brought him back to life so she could conceive her son Horus.
These
were called sacrificial/saviour gods, the idea being that humankind
is saved by the voluntary sacrifice of these gods. So how can this
happen? The biggest cause of all the suffering of our world is that
it is ruled by men.
We
can see how the masculine operates in the animal world where male
animals fight and even kill each other for access to females and
dominance.
Now
this is not a big problem when animals fight with horns, teeth or
claws but a far bigger problem when we have men fighting each other
with spears, swords, rifles, machine guns, bomber aircraft, guided
missiles and nuclear bombs. For this reason men today have not only
become a danger to himself but to the whole planet.
Not
only this, masculine aggression, also leads to oppression and
exploitation. In all very masculine societies of the past we find
slavery, serfdom, and extreme oppression of women.
The
feminine is in total contrast to this, as the instincts of the
females, in nearly all animals, is to give birth and nurture her
young. So the feminine is maternal, nurturing, loving and caring and
for this reason it would make far more sense if compassionate women
ruled the world instead of men. This then makes logical sense so why
aren’t people clamouring for this?
In
our patriarchal world the feminine is seen as a weakness. Loving men
are condemned as wimps and told that they are not ‘real men’.
This is why so many Christians ignore the teachings of Jesus as they
think they are too wimpy.
As
we see in many Hollywood films the masculine is glorified. To the
degree that even woman are influenced by this and feel if they wants
to gain respect she also has to act and behave like a masculine man.
So we live in a world where women are encouraged to act like
aggressive, cruel and ruthless men but men are not encouraged to be
as loving and nurturing as women.
Because
men are encouraged to be macho men, our history shows us a world
ruled by macho men is a world of conflict, wars, exploitation and
chaos. Even men do not like living in a cruel world like this as men
are exploited by other men and used as cannon-fodder on the
battlefield.
So
did Jesus try to create a Goddess religion where men worshipped
women? To many people this might seem preposterous but we accept it
as normal to have religions where men dominate women so why not have
the reverse of this?
Gynocentric Christianity: Chapter Two
The Last Judgement |
Male Domination Religions.
Three
of the most successful religions in recent times, Judaism,
Christianity and Islam all have male domination aspects to them. It
is clear Jesus wasn’t like this but his later followers certainly
were, as they insisted on a male priesthood and claimed God is male.
As
Paul is suppose to have said, “Let your women keep silent in the
churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be
submissive, as the law also says. And if they want to learn
something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is
shameful for women to speak in church.” 1 Corinthians 14:34-35. And
of course there is similar stuff in the Old Testament when God tells
Adam the following.
"And
I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed
and her seed; it shall bruise the head, and thou shalt bruise his
heel. Unto the woman he (God) said, I will greatly multiply thy
sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children;
and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."
Genesis 3 : 15-16
Interestingly
in the Koran, Eve is not blamed for eating the forbidden fruit like
in the Hebrew Bible but even so Islam is very extreme male-dom with
genital mutilation, women covering their faces and a honour system
where a man has a right to kill his wife if she “dishonours him”
by disobeying him. We see this from Islamic scriptures.
“Men
are superior to women on account of the qualities with which God has
gifted the one above the other, and on account of the outlay they
make from their substance for them. Virtuous women are obedient,
careful, during the husband's absence, because God has of them been
careful. But chide those for whose refractoriness you have cause to
fear; remove them into beds apart, and scourge them: but if they are
obedient to you, then seek not occasion against them:” Quran verse
4:34.
Even
in a more mild religion like Buddhism, women are not allowed any
positions of authority or power. Buddhism worship the male Buddha
like a God, (even though he claimed he wasn’t a god) while women
are only allowed the role of nuns.
So
it is of interest that we have male domination religions with male
gods but no female dominated religions with female Goddesses. This is
of course a refection of the political reality where throughout
history we always had male dominated governments. Today things are
different where we now have more female leaders of countries than
ever before, so in these times perhaps a female dominated religion
may be possible.
So
what would a female domination religion be like? It would simply be
the opposite to a male dominated religion and worship a female deity
and have a female priesthood.
Now
some feminist will claim it would be better to sexually equality
religion and worship both a male and female deity and have both
priests and priestesses. This would only be a source of conflict
where competitive priest will be competing against the priestesses
for power.
We
have had this situation in the past where we had pagan religions what
worshipped both gods and goddesses and had both priests and
priestesses. As we see in the ancient religions of Greece, Rome,
Egypt and the Old Norse religion.
But
over time the power of the priestesses was undermined and we end up
with only priests who worshipped a male god. We even have this
situation today in Hinduism where they still worship gods and
goddesses but it is male priests who dominate most Hindu sects.
There
is few powerful Goddesses in Hinduism like Kali. She is the Goddess
of the Tantra sect where they practice sex with the woman on top. The
man is also not allowed to orgasm but women can do this as many times
she likes so it is sex about the pleasure of women and not the man.
They practice the same form of sex in Taoism. This show the
matriarchal roots of both religions.
So
history shows us that a sexual equality religion will, in time, only
lead to male dominated religion. This is why a female dominant
religion can only work if men are kept out of any position of
authority. What people do not know today that in the distant past
there were matriarchal religions that worshipped only female deities
and had a female priesthood.
In
Greek Legend there is a story of an ancient Golden Age where people
lived in peace and prosperity. To quote: "The first age was an
age of innocence and happiness. Truth and right prevailed, though
not enforced by law, nor was there any magistrate to threaten or
punish. The forest had not yet been robbed of its trees to furnish
timbers for vessels, nor had men built fortifications around their
towns. There were no such thing as swords, spears, or helmets. The
earth brought forth all things necessary for man, without his labour
in ploughing or sowing. Perpetual spring reigned, flower sprang up
without seed, the rivers flowed with milk and wine, and yellow honey
distilled from the oaks."
After
that came the Silver age, where everything wasn't so good then the
Brazen age and finally the Iron age, which is really our present age
of warfare and violence. The whole concept of this myth is that
everything has become slowly worse and worse for human kind since the
Golden Age.
Yet
the myth of the Golden age doesn't only come from Ancient Greece.
Probably the most ancient religion that survives today is Taoism in
China. Again this religion talks about a Golden age in the past. As
explained often in the Tao-Te-Ching written by Lao Tzu.
Eve and Serpent |
The
concept of the Golden Age is also in the story of the Garden of Eden
which again is a paradise. Then Adam and Eve sinned and they were
banished into the waste land and Adam had to work "by the sweat
of his brow". The story of the Garden of Eden comes from a
Golden age story from ancient Mesopotamia. Also in the few Aztec and
Maya writing that have survived again there is a myth of a very
ancient Golden Age ruled by a compassionate Mother Goddess. Which is
shown in contrast to the later age of warfare and human sacrifice.
In fact most ancient cultures of the world have some myth of a golden
age of the ancient past.
One
Greek scholar Hesiod told the story of Pandora’s Jar. Zeus gave a
jar to Pandora to keep safe but she opened it and out poured
sickness, death and evil. This story is an attack on the ancient
Goddess Pandora who "the all-endowed" or “all-giving"
Goddess. So Hesiod twisted this to blame sickness, death and evil
onto her. So like Eve in the Bible story she was blamed for man’s
downfall whereas the demise of humans came when men dominated
religion and politics.
When
patriarchal rulers took control the people found they were worse off
and naturally complained about this. The patriarchy of course were
not going to blame themselves to made up stories like Eve eating the
forbidden fruit or Pandora opening the Jar, to blame it all on women.
Though
there is an element of truth in both stories. We did once have a
Golden age of peace and harmony when women allowed men their natural
desires to serve and worship women. But it all went wrong when some
women interfered with this and thought that men and women should be
equal.
Surprisingly,
even in the Hebrew Bible it is mentioned that people once worshipped
Goddess and were better off when they did this. as we can see in the
following passage.
“We
will certainly do everything we said we would: We will burn incense
to the Queen of Heaven and will pour out drink offerings to her just
as we and our ancestors, our kings and our officials did in the towns
of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. At that time we had plenty
of food and were well off and suffered no harm.” Jeremiah 44:17.
Somehow
this paragraph escaped the patriarchal censors. The Queen of Heaven
was a goddess and scholars tell us that the Jews did once worship
Goddesses like Shekinah, Asherah, Anath, Astarte, Ashima, Lilith and
Sophia.
We
find the same in Islam where their holy book is called the Koran.
What they don’t tell you is that this book was named after the
Goddess Kore, (not the same as the Greek goddess also called Kore).
She was the worshipped by Mohammed’s tribe the Koreshites,
(Children of Kore) and her shrine was in Mecca. Mohammed at first
preach from the Koran of the Goddess Kore but then completely rewrote
it after he was banished from Mecca.
This
is why some Mullahs can claim Islam is a religion of peace, because
it seems some of the original teachings from the Goddess Kore
survives in the present day Koran. It even talks about the Oneness of
God.
At
one time modern academics have rejected these Golden Age legends as
pure myth. Not only do they sound too good to be true. Recorded
history seem to show a different story. They claim that the further
you go back in history the more brutal and violent men seem to
behave. After all we do not have human sacrifice any more. Though it
has to be admitted we still have genocide and wars as we have seen
with the Nazi and Po-Pot regimes in the last century. In spite of
that it has been assumed by archaeologists that people in
pre-historic times were even more brutal than people in historic
times. But in the last century archaeology discoveries have
challenged this assumption.
In
the 1960s a archaeologists called Mellaart lead a team to excavate a
site in Anatolia in Turkey. This site turn out to be the oldest city
ever discovered. Called Catal Huyuk it goes back over 9,000 years.
What was discovered goes against all assumptions archaeologist have
about people living in Neolithic times. They couldn't find any
fortifications to defend the city or any weapons of war. Neither
could they find signs of violence committed on people buried in
graves. It was also a city full of feminine imagery to the degree
that Mellaart was force to say that the people worshipped the Ancient
Great Mother.
So
unsettling was these discoveries that the site was closed down for
thirty years and the academic world ignored the implications of this
find. But there was one archaeologist who was brave enough to
challenge the accepted wisdom of the academic world.
The
late Mariji Gimbutas went digging in other Neolithic sites and found
similar findings. She also highlight the Neolithic findings that
Soviet scientists had made in Transylvania. As well as Goddess
civilizations found in Crete and Malta. All showing peaceful
societies that worshipped the Great Mother. Gimbutas became a very
controversial figure and her books and work was rejected by the
academic world. But other archaeologist were also making similar
finds.
The
Indus Valley civilization in Pakistan was again an Ancient society
that archaeologists could find no signs violence or weapons of war.
Even more recently in Caral in Peru the oldest city ever discovered
in South America, going back to 5,000 years, the same thing was
discovered. Given the violent history of later South American
civilizations with mass human sacrifice archaeologists expected to
find the same thing. But no matter how hard they looked they
couldn’t find any evidence of human sacrifice, warfare or any other
indication of violence. And they had to conclude that this
civilization existed in peace for thousands of years.
The
overwhelming evidence of these finding have made more modern academic
wonder if Mariji Gimutas might be right after all. Some are coming
out of the woodwork and supporting her like Richard Rudgley in his
book "Lost Civilizations Of The Stone Age".
So
what is the implication of these findings?
No
longer can it be claimed that we lived in the stone age as savage
brutes. As it seems that violence started thousands of years after
the first civilizations got started. It also brings into question if
men are naturally violence.
After
the second world war the American military did a study on how well
their troops done in the war. They interviewed a large number of
ex-servicemen and found that only a small minority admitted to
killing the enemy. Most claimed that they only shot above the heads
of the opposing side and didn't want the deaths of the enemy on their
conscience.
In
contrast in the same war the Japanese troops had a reputation of
brutality and ruthlessness. But the Japanese military training was
very harsh. The new recruits were beaten up by older soldiers at the
beginning of their training and then after their first year they were
encouraged to do the same to the newer recruits. Later on in their
training they were taught to kill by killing prisoners of war. So it
seems that the Japanese military knew that to turn an ordinary
Japanese male into a effective killing machine, they had to
completely brutalize him.
The
same is true of the German soldiers under the Nazis, where again the
ordinary soldier was again brutalized. Yet in spite of this, when
the Nazis started their genocide against the Jews they at first just
took groups of Jews into the forest and had them shot by ordinary
soldiers. But the effect of shooting defenceless civilians had a
devastating effect on many of the soldiers ordered to do this and
some committed suicide afterwards. This became such a problem for
the Nazis that other methods like gas chambers, had to be used to
conduct mass murder that didn’t involve using ordinary servicemen.
During
the Falklands war 250 British servicemen lost their lives. 20 years
after the war 265 men who saw action during the war have since
committed suicide. Even worse figure are shown for the American
troops that fought in the Vietnam war. Though this is a controversial
subject in USA and it is hard to get exact figures.
If
the Japanese military had to brutalize their troops to make them
kill. While soldiers in Britain and America as so upset by the
experience of war that many have since committed suicide. It calls
into question whether men are naturally violent. Yet recorded
history is a history of war, genocide and cruelty. So if it is not
natural for men to be violent, why is it still going on?
In
all the Golden age legends they do not explain why things started to
go wrong. But Gimbutas claims that the downfall of many of the
peaceful Goddess civilizations as caused by violent patriarchal
tribes invading them from the north. So it suggests that it was the
invention of war that ended the last Golden Age. Where the early
patriarchal rulers behaved like Mafia bosses in imposing a reign of
terror on the people, then started a protection racket that was in
effect the first taxation.
So
the good news is that a Golden age did exist in the past, and we are
not naturally violent. Most men have to be brainwashed into being
like this through brutalization. The bad news is that the Pandora's
Box has been opened in that violent men have found they can rule
countries and even empires through fear and violence.
But
this is not what the majority of us want. Most of us do not want to
live in a world of war and violence and it is up to us to not allow a
minority of violent men spoilt it for us all. We have to learn how to
stop our young people being brutalized by school bullies, street
gangs, prisons, poverty, unemployment, violent films and video games,
violent parents and the military. Then we can perhaps get back to
living once again in a new Golden Age of peace and prosperity.
Gynocentric Christianity: Chapter Three
The Sacrificial/Saviour Gods
If
we accept the matriarchal theory, which goes: In the past there was
once a peaceful and caring matriarchal age that worshipped the Great
Mother. In this age women ruled society and men never questioned
this rule. Then women began to allow men more freedom but this went
too far and men abused this this and ended up taking over and ruling
society through violence.
Clearly
if we look at the history of the last four or five thousand years we
can see clearly that men have made a terrible job at ruling the
world. Men's answer to all problems has been aggression and
violence, which has created a world of wars, genocide, poverty, fear,
hatred and suffering. This was clearly seen two to three thousand
years ago at the time of the saviour gods when there was still
knowledge of the ancient matriarchal past.
At
that time there must have been a large number of people who wanted
the world to return to matriarchy and the worship of the Great
Mother. But what was preventing this, was violent and aggressive
men.
What
is clear is that the ancient religion were totally female dominated
religions, but then these women allowed men power and some of these
men took advantage and brought into being the patriarchal age.
The
sacrificial/saviour god religions where probably an attempt to create
female domination religions in ancient times. It is of interest that
all these sacrificial/saviour god religions were also called Mystery
religions.
Now
in all Mystery religions there is an outer and inner mystery, where
all knowledge of the inner mysteries is unknown except of an
initiated few. In the earlier Mystery plays the saviour god
sacrificed themselves to The Great Mother. For instance, in the
Nordic mythology, Loki, one of their oldest Gods, was sacrificed to
the Goddess Skadi. While even in the Jesus story, his crucifixion is
witnessed by the three Marys. Who probably represented in earlier
times the Triple Goddesses.
Jesus
is also called a king and this may be about a very ancient tradition
where the king is sacrifice. It seems in the matriarchal past only
queens could rule but she had consort kings. These were mostly young
men, and if the queen grew tired of him then he was sacrificed for
the fertility of the land. Why this happened might be because a
deposed king may be angry at his lost of power and status and stir up
trouble for the Queen. Or he might be executed because he began to
abuse his power, and tried to undermine or disobey the Queen. So the
sacrifice of kings had a long tradition until with the rise of
patriarchy and kings became too powerful to allow themselves to be
sacrificed.
For
this reason, the tradition of the sacrificing the king may have
happened as matriarchy was declining. In a true matriarchal society
men would not expect to have any power, and so a Queen could have
many lovers with no fear that these men will want to take away her
powers. As it would have been unthinkable in those days, that a male
could, depose a queen and rule in her place. But with the rise of
patriarchy, then queens may find themselves with lovers with strong
political ambitions. So the only way to deal with them, was to have
them executed, or threaten them with execution and claim it was a
sacrifice.
This
type of sacrifice probably wasn't voluntary, but in the savoir god
tradition it was. It was made very clear in the Bible that Jesus
made no attempt to resist himself being crucified. So from this we
have to ask the question how can the voluntary sacrifice of the
god-man to the Great Mother, save us all?
The
problem for people living near any patriarchal society who attempted
to set up a matriarchal society of love and harmony, would be quickly
conquered by violent men, who were only interested in loot and
enslaving the population. So it would be clear that the cause of all
the wars, violence, poverty and suffering was these selfish and
violent men.
We
know from history that the Amazons did for a while attempt to fight
fire with fire and fight back. But this clearly wasn't the answer
because by becoming violent yourself you become exactly like the
people you are fighting against. In other words the only way Amazons
could be free was to become as aggressive, ruthless and violence as
the men they fought. The Amazons failed to stop the rising tide of
patriarchy, probably because women were unable to become as brutal
and ruthless as men.
Now
Femdom could be the solution for this problem. In military history
there has been many cases where a small army of soldier have defeated
far larger armies. The most famous was the Battle of Thermopylae when
300 Spartans stopped a very large Persian army.
It
is mostly claim that this can only happen because the small army was
better trained, but that is not the only the only reason for this. A
group of psychopaths who have no qualms about killing people is going
to have a big advantage in a battle again ordinary men who don’t
like the thought of killing others.
We
know a big problem for any military is forcing troops to kill others
and they normally do this by brutalising them. This is of course
going to be a big problem for any loving and caring Matriarchal
society because men will not be brutalised enough to want to kill
other men in a war and so will be easy defeated in any military
conflict.
The
answer to this problem might be Femdom, where men have masochistic
desires for sadistic women. Most women don’t like whipping or
torturing men but as we see in the Femdom scene there are some women
who are happy to do this. So women like this can become officers in
any matriarchal army and brutalise their male troops in the way any
patriarchal army does. So they will be able fight and kill the men of
any patriarchal army trying to invade them.
Unfortunately,
as far as we know we didn’t have femdom in ancient times, or if we
did no-one thought of using it, to brutalise troops. Instead women
decided on a different strategy and attempted to reform these violent
men. To do this they gave them a vision of what a caring and loving
world would be like and explaining to them this is only possible if
men are willing to sacrifice yourself to the Great Mother. So a
story was created about a drama of heroic sacrifice, of a God-man
sacrificing himself for the good of the world.
To
some degree this seems to of been successful because all over Europe
and the Middle East there were saviour god religions. So it seems
many men were willing to sacrifice themselves to the Goddess in these
Mystery religions. Unfortunately, these religions became victims of
their own success, because patriarchal leaders who had no interested
in sacrificing themselves, saw these religions as a threat to their
power and set about either destroying them or taking them over.
It
is of interest that early Christianity was very popular among the
slaves of the Roman empire. This would make sense as many
matriarchal societies where victims of the conquering Romans, so
there would be a tradition of the worship of the Mother Goddess among
the slaves. For this reason they would be very sympathetic to a
saviour god religion like early Christianity.
In
the 3th century AD, Rome found itself with three large Saviour God
religions. The largest was the Egyptian religion of the Goddess Isis
and her saviour god Osiris. Then there were two other the Christians
and another based on the saviour God Mithras.

Attempts
by the Roman ruling elite to stamp out these saviour god religions,
was at first unsuccessful. They were unsuccessful in destroying
Christianity, while the Isis religion was popular in the Roman
military so this could cause a civil war if they attempted this.
So
the ruling elite instead attempted to promote a religion based on
another saviour god Mithras, as it was the religion they preferred
but this didn't receive enough support from the people. So in the end
they decided that if you can't beat them join them. They clearly
didn’t want a Goddess religion like the the Isis religion and so
Christianity became the final choice.
The
Roman rulers simply hijacked the Christian religion and changed it to
make it acceptable to them. They then set about destroying the
religion of Isis were able to convert people in this religion to
Christianity because both religions were similar.
But
they also destroyed Christian sects like the Egyptian Gnostics that
refused follow the type of Christianity put forward by the Roman
elite. The actual teachings of Jesus like, "loving your
neighbour", "turning the other cheek" was quickly
ignored as the Roman rulers and became more interested in the
religion of Judaism and promoted this, rather than what was taught by
the early Christian Church.
The
promotion of Judaism was the opposite to what many early Gnostic
Christians taught, as they referred to the Jewish Jehovah god as the
Demiurge and claimed he was a evil god from whom Jesus came to save
humankind. The original New Testament was suppose to be an attack on
the Old Testament and the patriarchal religion of Judaism, but this
was soon changed to endorsing it.
Another
big change was that many of the saviour god religions promoted sexual
freedom. We can see this is the religions of Dionysus and Bacchus
where many of the famous Roman orgies were Bacchus festivals.
Sexual
freedom at the time benefited wealthy women. This was because if
women had a sexual licence to have sex with whoever they liked, then
no one could say for sure whom were the fathers of their children and
so, rich and powerful men had little idea who were their sons. This
meant that inheritance of wealth and power could only come down the
female line. Meaning that, a large amount of wealth and power stayed
in the hands of women.
It
seems that early Christianity was also an orgiastic religion of free
love, before it became a state religion. To promote the power of
men, Christianity was changed to have strict marriage laws where it
became a sin to have sex outside of marriage. (Though this only
applied to women and not men). The idea being that rich and powerful
men now knew whom their sons were and could pass their wealth and
power down the male line, preventing it getting into the hands of
women.
Then
Christianity as a state religion and later the Moslems set about
destroying all knowledge of the ancient religion of the Great Mother.
With this knowledge finally forgotten by the common people, they
were then able to put forward the idea that Jesus sacrificed himself
to an angry god to appease him. Rather then the idea, that all men
need to sacrifice themselves to the Great Mother, and to women,
before we can have a peaceful matriarchal world once again.
Perhaps
the mystery religions of the past were a few thousand years before
their time. They were trying to promote a vision of a peaceful and
loving world in a very violent age. Today in the 21st century we see
in the West at least a different attitude to violent men. It is far
less acceptable for Western rulers to go out and conquer other
countries, (though it still goes on, as we saw in the recent Iraq and
Afghanistan wars). And it is far less acceptable for them to rule
through fear and intimation. Western rulers today are forced to
listen to the needs and desires of the common people and even respect
the views and opinions of minorities.
So
perhaps the sacrificial/saviour god image within Christianity acted
as a Trojan Horse for the patriarchal age. On the collective
unconscious level it created a archetype that has influenced all men
in Christian countries for the last two thousand years. So that the
idea of voluntary sacrifice has become acceptable to men which is
starting to bear fruit in the last hundred years. It is interesting
that feminism has progressed in Christian countries where men allow
women to demand equal rights. This is in stark contrast in Islam
countries where feminist women are beaten up, put into jail, and
murdered by being stoned and beheaded.
In
contrast, we have seen in Christian countries Jesus like men, in
Hippies of the 1960s where men have tried to practise peace and love.
Or ideas of the "new man" where men stay at home to look
after the house and family while his wife goes out to work. In its
more extreme form, we have the concept of Femdom where women totally
dominate men. So are these men very much in tune with the archetypal
sacrificial/saviour god? Clearly if all men are strongly influenced
by this powerful archetypal it will save the world from violence,
wars and suffering.
Although
Christianity has mostly ignored the teachings of Jesus and have
concentrated more on the Old Testament god of judgement and fear, the
symbols of a sacrificial Jesus are seen in all Churches. Also, the
Great Mother is represented in Roman Catholic Churches in the
disguise of the Virgin Mary. So even though many Christian priests
have only paid lip-service to the teachings of Jesus and the drama of
his betrayal and crucifixion, this is still taught. These symbols,
dramas and teachings have been unconsciously influencing men in
Christian Counties ever since Christianity became a state religion.
So
although in the short term the attempt by matriarchal women to create
a submissive saviour god in the past seems like a failure. The
popularity of the sacrificial drama of Jesus Christ has brought about
an archetypal change in men, which will allow men to surrender
themselves to women and bring about a new matriarchal age. After
all, it is in Christian countries where we see the rise in feminism
during the 20th century and more recently the beginnings of Female
Domination. The concept of the sacrificial god, does seem to be
working on minds of men to allow themselves to tune into this
powerful archetype.
Although
for us to have peaceful Matriarchal societies we also need an army
with female officers using femdom methods to train their troops again
any invading patriarchal army.
