about

"Symbol systems cannot be simply rejected, they must be replaced. Where there is no replacement the mind will revert to familiar structures at times of crisis, bafflement, or defeat."
--Carol Christ

The corruption of the old forms, of old institutions and ways of thinking, continues to be revealed. The need for a new paradigm, myth, or metaphor that carries new values is clear. This involves working with our mythological inheritance, to reclaim or renew truth in the images and stories that inspired our predecessors, and sort through to find what is of value in the present.

This is the first in series of four programs exploring the Sumerian myth of the goddess Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth. What might Inanna offer to our times?
