Ecuador Constitution Would Grant Inalienable Rights To Nature

Ecuador's proposed constitution includes an article that grants nature the right to "exist, persist, maintain and regenerate its vital cycles, structure, functions and its processes in evolution" and will grant legal standing to any person to defend those rights in court.

Voters will get to decide on Sept. 28 whether to adopt the new constitution, which would allow the president to run for reelection, to dissolve Congress, and to exert great control over the country's central bank. According to Reuters, 56 percent of Ecuadorans approve of the proposed document.

The blog Green Change quotes the five articles that acknowledge rights said to be possessed by nature, or "Pachamama," a goddess revered by indigenous Andean peoples whose name roughly translates into "Mother Earth."

Universal Prayer for Wealth and Prosperity

November 7th 2007 08:46

O Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity,
With your blessings there is an abundance of Wealth and prosperity
There is enough to feed each soul, cover each body, and heal all diseases
With your blessings O Goddess, each child is educated, each child is smiling
There is so much wealth in the world that no one resorts to crime and terrorism
As a human we all know how to utilize the wealth for mankind and free from all vices.
With an abundance of wealth, there is peace and harmony, there is collaboration and teamwork.

O Goddess, this is not a dream but truth and I am seeing this happening right in front of my eyes.

Pagans pray to Athena to protect Acropolis

In what organizers said was the first such ceremony performed amid the Acropolis ruins in Athens since the ancient Greek religion was outlawed in the fourth century, dozens of Greek pagans huddled near the Parthenon in a downpour Sunday to worship in protest of the new museum being built at the foot of the site. They gathered before the temple’s east wing and prayed to Athena, goddess of wisdom and patron of Athens, to protect the Parthenon from further destruction.

The Greek Culture Ministry forbids ceremonies of any sort at archaeological sites, but the small band of pagan revivalists entered the Acropolis’s heavily guarded grounds as tourists and then persuaded guards to allow the 15-minute rite. It was organized by Ellinais, an Athens group that recently won a court battle for state recognition of the ancient religion.

Triple Goddess

Triadic imagery

In The White Goddess, Graves said:

the New Moon is the white goddess of birth and growth;

the Full Moon, the red goddess of love and battle;

the Old Moon, the black goddess of death and divination.

This relates the three life-thresholds of birth, procreation and death with phases of the moon. The term "new moon" is used by Graves in its original sense, as the first visible crescent after the luni-solar conjunction (which has traditionally been used as the starting point of lunar calendars), rather than the luni-solar conjunction itself.

Nepal court scraps 'living goddess' tradition

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 00:34:08 GMT

Clip Source: www.guardian.co.uk

A centuries-old tradition in Nepal of worshipping a virgin girl-child in a palace as a "living goddess" has been scrapped after it was condemned as outdated by the country's supreme court, which has ruled that the supposed deity must go to school.

Earlier this year, religious authorities started a search for a new Kumari, chosen from a handful of three-year-olds, after it was revealed the current living goddess is going to retire later this year.

However, that process looks as if it will be halted after the country's highest court accepted the argument from a lawyer that keeping a young girl locked up in a medieval palace in Kathmandu was a violation of her fundamental rights.

The court ruled against the rights of the Kumari being "be violated in the name of culture".

The Kumari was probably doomed the moment the Maoist administration took office.

The Nature of Pinup Girls

clipper's remarks: Women and nature - the two greatest muses of all times.

Clip Source: www.thepinupblog.com

Post Modern Romanticism

Romanticism is a complex artistic, literary, and intellectual movement- a reaction against the scientific rationalization of nature, and was embodied most strongly in the visual arts, music, and literature. Most of the images of the movement evoke a sence of awe from nature. Funnily enough, pinup art has a distinct link to these aesthetics and emotions. Only instead of exhibiting an introspective awe, through the allegory of nature, they seem to elevate the woman, depicted in the painting, to the status of goddess, using awesome imagery of nature.

Nepal’s child Goddess must have “voice like a duck”

If you are female, possess “the voice of a duck” and are between 2 and 4 years old, it could be just the job for you - Nepal is advertising for a new living goddess.

Despite being revered as a powerful Hindu divinity, the Himalayan state's Royal Kumari has no option but to step down once she reaches puberty. Because Preeti Shakya, the current holder of the centuries-old role, has reached her 11th birthday, the race is on to find a replacement before the end of the summer.

“If we don't change her now we'll have to wait until next year, which could be late,” said Deepak Bahadur Pandey, of the Trust Corporation, which oversees the Kumari search. “It is inauspicious if the girl starts menstruating while serving as Kumari.”

The job criteria are rigorous: Kumaris, who are typically selected as toddlers, must have a voice “as soft and clear as a duck's”, “the body of a Banyan tree” and “the chest of a lion”.
