Prop 12

Post by Laraqua »

The City of Berlin wants your subservience.
Turn from it and to the Mother of Awakening.
She will hold you in her hands.
Is it bad that I listen to this about ten times a day?

The Mother of Awakening, when Googled, takes him first to a sponsored site called the Chapel of the Grief-Stricken Mother. This website describes:

Most of us have suffered the loss of a loved one, and as we age, it is likely that all of us will. Relationships are an essential part of what we, as humans, need to survive, and as we go through life, we will develop strong and significant connections with not just people, but also places and possessions we encounter along the way.

Grief is the emotion we feel when an important relationship ends (or is interrupted). Commonly the ending is caused by death, but grief can also be felt when a relationship is lost as a result of divorce, relocation, fire or theft. We don't grieve for all lost relationships; only those that have, for one reason or another, become meaningful to us over time - people we love or admire (family, partners, friends, teachers), and places or things we treasure (a house you grew up in, a photo, a family heirloom). When these people or things are gone, we often feel grief.

It then goes into a description of how spirituality can help, particularly in a support group, and that the Chapel of the Grief-Stricken Mother provides such a support group. The imagery on the web site involves a lot of wilted bouquets and pictures of depressed people. There is a part of the web page that is member's only and requires both user name and password.

There is also a time and day for the services. Wednesday, three hours before dawn, at 32 Gruber Street, Kreuzberg.

There are no references to any Mother of Awakening in the website but it must have been listed as one of the search terms because it's the first link he finds. There are a number of other web sites he could search through...

The website describes a nameless deity who weeps and walks through the Earth, seeking to draw together dead loved ones, so that even in a world with a paradise shattered by the fury of a wrathful male god, the dead could be together. There is a poem, though, that seems to identify this deity with La Larona. The poem describes a woman who had several children. Little innocent children. And because the rich man she loved did not want the children and so spurned her, she killed them. One dark night, when the clouds covered the moon so that she could not be seen, she took them to the river, and perhaps stabbed them first, or perhaps just threw them in, but she drowned them all. Then she returned to the rich man, her white nightgown stained with their blood, and begged him to take her in. But again, he spurned her, for she was poor and wretched. And then she realized what she had done. She ran back to the river, to her children, but they were dead. And then La Llorona threw herself into the water and took her own life.

The poem describes the false story others believe: that God cursed her for murdering innocents. He forced her to walk the world, crying and searching for her children, dragging down others to a watery grave if they crossed her tear stained path. And they say she found a new lover. El Diablo. He gave her his pets, Los Cadejos, as friends to accompany her in her travels.

However, the truth to the story was that La Larona, when she murdered her children, and returned to her husband, was gifted a vision from the Dark Mother. She saw in his eyes that she would never be near her children again. That those who die apart are doomed to wonder, forever alone, forever abandoned. The only way to be near them was to call them near and die, by your own hands, when they are closest. Seeing that she did not deserve her own children, she instead decided to roam the land in spirit form, finding the lost souls of dead mothers who sought their children and bringing them children to call their own - either by locating their own children or bringing them new ones. She weeps for sorrow at those she could not bring together, dead mothers whose children were already dead and lost to them, and for joy at bringing new families to be together.
