Pandora's Box

A Miscellany for Our Mother God

Woman was sent to man as a punishment for the theft of fire from the gods by Prometheus.

However, the name Pandora originally means "Giver of all gifts", and was a name of the divine maya, the all-creative and all-giving aspect of Our Mother God.

The Classical legend of Pandora's Box is thus one of the most extreme examples of patriarchal "mythic inversion".

Our Pandora's box is named after the original. It is a cornucopia of many different things - often things that have appeared in the Chapel Chronicle (which can only contain fifty items at a time) and are too good to lose.

Also this is a place for discussions and other items that do not fit elsewhere into the site.
