The Gates of a Feminine Heaven
First of all, sorry for my poor english.
I read your post about Janua Coeli: Heaven's Gates and I must say that not mentioning at all god Janus is a mistake, moreover when you try to explain where January gets its name from.
I understand your point of view, it's necessary, but I think you should not negate the existence of 'the other', otherwise you are not doing any better than the 'patriarchal' point of view. Yin + Yang, feminine + masculine, addition instead of substraction, at least that is what think.
One more time, my english is not good enough to express my ideas, but I hope the meaning is clear.
Thanks for all!
Thank you for your interest. The god Janus is named for the Gate of Heaven (specifically the northern gate). Our article was examining the fundamental ideas behind this - not one particular Western patriarchal tradition.
To say that we are "not doing any better than the patriarchal point of view" is not really to the point. Patriarchal points of view are valid within their own "oeconomy". We have never said that patriarchal traditions are inherently wrong.
Masculinizing the divine was a historical necessity for the patriarchal world. We do not follow that way, but we certainly do not say that Christians and others who follow patriarchal traditions are wrong.
Yin and yang, within a feminine tradition are both feminine: the "blonde and brunette" or chelanic and melinic tendencies of the cosmos.
This is the way we look at things as a purely feminine tradition, and we have the right spiritually to do so. We do not demand that others follow the same way, but this is our perspective.
