Howling with depth psychologist and writer Elizabeth Nelson about myths of warrior women allies, bawdy crones, the healing power of humour and embodied sensuality.
“As homo faber, human beings are makers of many things—including the stories, poetry, songs, and images that comprise the great goddess tradition. We have a material record of Her presence for millennia, despite toxic patriarchy. We are also homo faber in our embodied actions that leave no material trace yet influence critical moments in someone’s story. Two fascinating goddesses—Inanna and Demeter—owe their being to the actions of a supposedly small or minor character, which only goes to show: there are no small parts, only small actors. This presentation explores two goddess makers: the warrior ally Ninshuber, who performed a pivotal role in Inanna’s release from the Sumerian underworld, and the crone/midwife/trickster Baubo, whose lascivious dance punctured Demeter’s paralyzing despair.”
— Elizabeth Nelson, Warrior Allies & Bawdy Crones
