トームさんのインスタグラム写真 - (トームInstagram)「The power of the Vulva . REPOSTED AFTER INSTAGRAM REMOVED IT, so please support the vulva by SPREADIN IT! Lol @danfortner2020 This is naked Athena of Portland last night [july 18] during the 50th day of protests against #PoliceBrutality. Police justified their escalation of force by claiming protesters had weapons. Naked Athena showed them the weapon she was holding and the police backed off... #pdx Becca Dakini wrote this: The power of the Sheela Na Gig, or Anasyrma - The woman lifts up her skirt Anasyrma is literally “the exposing of the genitals.” This is a form of exhibitionism found in religion or artwork, rather than a display for arousal, and it refers always to the act of a woman exposing herself.” From the earliest historic age, there are references to goddesses who are whimsical, erotic, and ferocious. The first texts of this sort have their provenance in the Near East; the female ﬁgures described in these texts are erotic, but they do not appear in the “magical” crouching or dancing positions evinced by their Neolithic predecessors. The act of lifting up one’s skirt to display the genitals can be an apotropaic device. (A type of magic intended to turn away harm or evil influences). It can, in circumstances of war, evoke the fear of the enemy. It can also be an act which evokes surprise and subsequent laughter and a letting go of sadness. A symbol of power and magic The ritual of anasyrma is also found in Japanese myth. The Japanese goddess Amaterasu, after withdrawing to a cave in anger, was coaxed out by the dance and display of the goddess Ame-no-Uzume no Mikoto, “the Terrible Female of Heaven.” The goddess Hathor lifts up her skirts, displaying her “nether parts” to the sun-god, thus making him laugh—that is, thus taking away his grief. Throughout time, the vulva has been a symbol of power and magic. Again, a plethora of female nakedness can overcome even the mightiest warrior. 👊 https://www.maier-files.com/the-power-of-the-vulva/」7月22日 5時28分
