HELPFUL HOUSEHOLD HINTS FROM HABONDIA
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(With appologies to Heloise)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Ever notice how many cars you see today, bearing the
|
|||
|
|
Christian fish symbol on their trunk? Feel left out? Want to
|
|||
|
|
compete and brag about your religious affiliations? Well, we
|
|||
|
|
did, and you can, too, quite easily at that!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The "fish" symbol is the oldest of Christianity's symbology.
|
|||
|
|
Unlike most of the other symbologies which have their roots in
|
|||
|
|
Paganism, the fish was a sort of "secret sign" to identify the
|
|||
|
|
members of the heretical Jewish sect of followers of the man from
|
|||
|
|
Nazareth. The secrecy was because of persecution (sound
|
|||
|
|
familiar?) and I believe the symbolism had to do with several
|
|||
|
|
things - the desciples' occupation as fishermen, and the hidden
|
|||
|
|
meaning in the letters which spelled "fish" in Greek.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Want to identify yourself, although somewhat obscurely? Go
|
|||
|
|
out and buy one of those fish emblems - the plain ones, without
|
|||
|
|
the letters inside the oval. Better if the package contains two
|
|||
|
|
such molded plastic stick-on emblems, if you are into the duality
|
|||
|
|
of Goddess/God. If you are only into Goddess, one will do.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
First, we will make one into one of the oldest known Goddess
|
|||
|
|
symbols - the yoni! With a very sharp knife or fine toothed
|
|||
|
|
hacksaw or hobby saw (a razor saw used by railroad modellers is
|
|||
|
|
what I used), cut off both "tail fins" of the fish at point "X"
|
|||
|
|
on the diagram. Save the pieces - we'll use them later. (Dianics
|
|||
|
|
may discard the pieces now.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You may also melt them off with a hot tool or knife if you
|
|||
|
|
are working on plastic fish, and clean it up with a nailfile or
|
|||
|
|
emery board. Turn this pointy-ended oval on end (points up and
|
|||
|
|
down), and VOILA! A YONI! The very first goddess figure devised
|
|||
|
|
in ancient times. Stick it upright on your trunk (or the trunk
|
|||
|
|
of your car, if it interferes with your clothing) and get the
|
|||
|
|
second "fish" to work on next.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To represent the Horned God, all you really have to do is
|
|||
|
|
up-end the remaining uncut "fish", fins up, and stick it
|
|||
|
|
alongside the Goddess yonic figure - it looks like the classic
|
|||
|
|
horned circle, though it is a bit pointed at the ends. If you'd
|
|||
|
|
like to emphasize the "fish fin" horns a bit, glue the pieces you
|
|||
|
|
cut off the other one, onto the ends of these, thereby
|
|||
|
|
lengthening them. Now stick this emblem right alongside the
|
|||
|
|
other one, and you have Goddess and God, side-by-each where all
|
|||
|
|
can see, and probably confuse a lot of those folks who are still
|
|||
|
|
displaying them as fish.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Don't pass up this chance to steal a symbol or two from
|
|||
|
|
them- they stole quite a few of ours. A little friendly
|
|||
|
|
competition is good to ease tensions. Perhaps we can start a new
|
|||
|
|
rage in auto kitsch. The Aquarian Tabernacle's church bus, the
|
|||
|
|
Blessed Bee, sports a large size, gold colored plastic Goddess
|
|||
|
|
and God right there (you guessed it) on the left hand side of the
|
|||
|
|
rear of the vehicle, for all to see and ponder!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Just another helpful household hint from Habondia.
