The Helios Biblios Hour : A Living PHALLUS / We Love DICK

The secret of God's "Name of power," the Tetragrammaton, was that three-quarters of it invoked not God - but Eve.  YHWH,  yod-he-vau-he, came from the Hebrew root  HWH, meaning both "life" and "woman" - in Latin letters,  E-V-E.  With the addition of an "I" (yod), it amounted to the Goddess's invocation of her name as the Word of creation, a common idea in Egypt and other ancient lands. Gnostic scriptures said Adam was created by the power of Eve's word, not God's.  Adam's name meant he was formed of clay moistened with blood, the female magic of adamah or "bloody clay."  He didn't produce the Mother of All Living from his rib; in earlier Mesopotamian stories, he was produced by hers.  The biblical idea was a reversal of older myths in which the Goddess brought forth a primal male ancestor, then made him her mate - the ubiquitous, archetypal divine-incest relationship traceable in every mythology.It is interesting that the mythical story of the original "Eve", the "Mother of All Living" was lonely and so created a companion -   Think about it.  It is the dilemma of every women since the beginning of time.  No matter how intelligent, successful, or accomplished she may be, without a mate or spouse - a woman feels incomplete - she feels lonely.Cabalists took up the idea and said the paradise of Eden can be regained only when the two sexes are once more united; even God must be united with his female counterpart, the heavenly Eve called Shekina.
