whatodowhatodowhatodo?

***all pictures ripped from this site***

for i am first and the last
i am the venerated and the despised
i am the prostitute and the saint
i am the wife and the virgin
i am the mother and the daughter
i am the arms of my mother
i am barren and my children are many
i am the married woman and the spinster
i am the woman who gives birth and she who never procreated
i am the consolation for the pain of birth
i am the wife and the husband
and it was my man who created me
i am the mother of my father
i am the sister of my husband
and he is my rejected son
always respect me
for i am the shameful and the magnificent one

~hymn to Isis, 3rd or 4th century B.C., discovered in Nag Hammadi
quoted in "Eleven Minutes" by Paolo Coelho
