Hi Hazel,
I am really hoping that I can see and hear your Isis-Sophia presentation from Sunday. My local college library recently reopened with curbside service, and so I was able to check out Steiner’s lectures on “Egyptian Myths and Mysteries”.
https://wn.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA106/English/AP1971/EgyMyt_index.html
Back in the day, Osiris was still seen as a Sun god, who propagates with Isis in the Full Moon in order to beget Horus at the New Moon. In order for this to happen, he has to sacrifice himself and be cut up into fourteen pieces. Well, you know the story by now.
Thanks Hazel for all you do and your other comrades in arms. I know Dottie from years past, and she has always been a kind of social worker for the cause. You are both much admired. I can only write from a kind of lockdown position and that is because here in the Pacific Northwest there is nothing going on like in Chicago. So, I write and then write some more. Maybe I only talk the talk, but I walk it in my mind, and try to encourage my listening audience, which happens to include you!
Kind regards, Hazel.
Steve
