episode 9: the alchemy of easter

on the humanity of resurrection, the magic of tinkerbell, and a lineage of love

the resurrection cycle does not solely belong to the Christian canon. One of the earliest, most ancient, and most significant resurrection stories we see is in the Sumerian goddess Inanna. She is the queen of heaven who descends into the underworld. She passes through seven gates in the underworld and suffers greatly and goes through this death cycle and then is returned and resurrected after three days. We see this in the Egyptian story the Egyptian mythos of the goddess Isis and her lover, Osiris, the sun god, who was split into seven pieces. And Isis finds the seven pieces of him and resurrects him. She brings him, the sun god, back to life”
