| Queen ISIS
(battling for peace) Janet Kuypers started 7/29/16, finished 7/30/16 Try to remember your breathing exercises. Inhale. Exhale. The drive-by media talking heads hurl insults, hatred for either contender for the next President of the United States. See the screen’s ticker of the number of dead from the last mass shooting. Fort Myers. Dallas. Nice. Orlando. San Bernardino. Sandy Hook. Try to remember to focus on your breathing. Inhale. Exhale. The past floods you. Boston. Columbine. Waco. Wisconsin’s Sikh Temple. This breathing alone doesn’t take on terror. When strikes hit Egypt, remember the Egyptian Goddess ISIS, patroness of nature & wisdom. Her crown was actually a throne, the seat for her child, the Pharaoh. She listened to the prayers of the aristocrats, the wealthy, the rulers, but she was also friends to the downtrodden, the sinners & the slaves. Goddess of rebirth, ISIS was first child to the Gods of Earth and Sky, ISIS was also goddess of reincarnation and the protector of the dead. Isis’ magic spells & rituals were revered for protection & healing. You know, this breathing is getting easier now. Inhale. Exhale. But it angers me how her name’s been usurped by terrorists who kill. And sure, ISIS was worshipped in Pagan religions but Iraq & Syria took her name and changed the meaning from another God to cause chaos, spread their hatred & slaughter the masses with impunity. Wait a minute. Get back to breathing. Inhale. Exhale. Because the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria may mean evil, but these terrorists will never win when you have Earth and Sky on your side, because peace isn’t magic when health & protection are on your side, thanks to the better ISIS, ruling nature & wisdom. I tell you, remember to keep your breathing. Inhale. Exhale. Because if history battles for the ISIS name, remember: the legacy of true peace and love with the Goddess ISIS will always win. |
