The black threads she is draped within are the threads of fate. Of death, really.
The doves are The Fates in disguise, and also The Erinyes. Because we can't have love without also being in loving relationship with death.
Begun on February 14 2022. Completed after one full revolution round the sun, including a full nine month gestation in which tiny moles were gifted to her body by a spider.
O foam-born Kythereia, mother of
Both gods and men, ethereal and chthonic,
All-Mother Nature, goddess unsubdued,
Who hold together things, who cause the great
Fire to revolve, who keeps the ever-moving
BARZA in her unbroken course; and you
Accomplish everything, from head to toes,
And by your will is holy water mixed,
When by your hands you’ll move RHOUZO amid
The stars, the world’s midpoint which you control.
- PGM IV. 2915-2920
