      Hello new followers! For you: I've been thinking about how our metaphors of God have changed over the years. It's quite revealing

      Most of us inherit an idea of God as a "world craftsman". If you think abt it, this idea could not predate craftsmanship. It's post-agrarian

      Prior to god-the-maker, we had the World Tree, the World Mother, even the World Turtle (oddly persistent and widespread idea). Think abt it

      Consider the concept of Promethean Fire: man literally stealing technology from God(s). What would modern man steal? Electricity? Software?

      We have fire. We would steal wisdom if we knew where it was kept.

          We know this one! ☺ across cultures, wisdom has always been within; typically discovered through some process of exploration / pilgrimage

          The fire was a gift from a Titan though! Free uplift. Wisdom within is such hard work :( What's a lazy ape to do?

          The "gift" wasn't free of course. There was a marriage contract that Prometheus' brother had to honor and his bride was an All-Gifted woman

          Wisdom is an armored migraine in this particular mythos.

          Interesting choice of phrase. I'd think that ordinary life is an armored migraine (jail of civilization) and that wisdom is relief from it

          stahlhartes Gehäuse is a more modern point of view but I've found it to be lacking something the Pallas Athena myth has in abundance

          the Greeks seemed particularly concerned with what wisdom means for the powerful, but in this (post) modern world we are all powerful
