Sub terra nean.

sub = below
terra = earth

If you want to make more a game out of spelling that word further switch to french

sub terra -- nean

neant = nothingness, void, emptiness, nil, space.

so,
below the earth, ______ .

wellll, ahm, thanks for that, but when I talk of going subterranean, (aahhh), I mean into the 'tangled and dark' below where I usually hang out. So, not poking out at the end of the earth, (or, poking up in to the antipodean, Australia), but certainly not 'nil'. No, I mean getting down into the layers of meaning which I seem to expertly, turn my awareness. But! Why would I turn from such a place, unless I knew it were there, bwahahahaahaa.

You might be interested in the following myth of Inanna.

From the Wiki entry, an excerpt:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inanna

The union of Inanna and Ereshkigal

Additionally, the myth can be described as a union of Inanna with her own "dark side", her twin sister-self, Ereshkigal, as when she ascends it is with Ereshkigal's powers, while Inanna is in the underworld it is Ereshkigal who apparently takes on fertility powers, and the poem ends with a line in praise, not of Inanna, but of Ereshkigal. It is in many ways a praise-poem dedicated to the more negative aspect's of Inanna's domain, symbolic of an acceptance of the necessity of death to the continuance of life. It can also be interpreted as being about the psychological power of a descent into the unconscious, realizing one's own strength through an episode of seeming powerlessness, and/or an acceptance of one's own negative qualities, as it is by Joseph Campbell.

I've found Inanna going through my mind lately. smile.gif

I know Starhawk wrote a lot about Inanna in some of her books.

Tapati;
in all seriousness I will check out these legends, however, I've had an episode of seeming powerlessness just trying to find Seeker of Truth a birthday image. hahahahaha. It is owing to her staunch friendship that I am even here to find all these gifts.

Bas. Finito! Thankyou.
