Prelude background story - HATHOR (Hethert, Athyr) Symbols: cow, lioness, falcon, cobra, hippopotamus, sistrum, musical instruments, drums, pregnant women, mirrors, cosmetics -- Cult Center: Dendera The horned cow-goddess of love, she was also the deity of happiness, dance and music, and a protector of women The Hathors were shown as a group of young women playing tambourines and wearing the disk and horns of Hathor. During Polemic times (when Greeks ruled over Egypt), they were deified with the Pleiades. In the Story of Re, she was created by her father Re as "Sekhmet" as a destroyer of men, who were disobedient to him. Later Re changed his mind, but even he could not stop her from killing men. He then disguised beer as blood and when Sekhmet became drunk, she could no longer kill and was known there after as Hathor, a goddess of love. The Greeks identified her with Aphrodite (their goddess of love).

FROM BLOOD TO BEER! - FORTH WITH OR FROM NOT 
a Poem by Peter C. Jones for Audry and Michael 

From here 
From a place of constrained confidence 
I proceed, 
As if I could believe, 
There is a God, who is just about Love, 
But somehow, I remember that this may be a bore 
A choir of rapture proceeded by falling befores 
A raving concept touched by a lonely clove. 
Once held, Alas perceived 
transcending the rapture of Ill feeling. 
A transition of Aspired Perceptions! 
Instantaneous life forlorn and forgotten! 

For I thought that IF I did not Also 
Walk the lower road of perception, 
How could I feel or know 
That there is such a Goddess called 'Hathor' 
Strutting Like a Man, Woven like a Women 
So that She might continue 
Until there was no disbelief 
In All of us so Artful 
Forth with the distinction 
From Father until Mother 
Where strife is surely Tired 
By their Greater Love for ALL! 

For IF such a Love be 
'That does not lead to the 'fall of allness' 
Then absolutism is, as being is, beyond a mere reflection. 
And Still within the concept, always beyond and before. 
And THEN, OH Internal IF, 
LOVE Absolute is then becoming, 
NOT JUST in constant change, or static, or dynamic 
But, forever chaotic Callings 
Where distinction knows No Falling 
Because or not because - To change your thoughts and feeling, 
To cast oneself in the throngs of Enticement 
of Golden bodies clashing 
Love Bathing, then Love Masking, 
Fortunes of LOVE MAKING, 

Forth With, for all that IT is becoming! 
Like the Bright and Golden 'RE' 
Replacing the blood of her spirit 
Who is falling in her Willfulness 
Of our wanton perspiration 
With the BEER of our budding Allusion! 
Transforming our Wanton LOVE 
To a place of remembering 
Where We are always Free! 

And Yet, I say to us 
As I wish to say to Audry and Re 
'To Exchange our blood for BEER 
Is but A Visionary ripple 
In a pond where no stone was thrown 
A ripple of our aspiring perspiration 
A place where ALL is Concentrated 
Where the lull is always scented 
Where the Wall is perpetuated 
Bonded molecules of descent 
A path where I have walked and waited 
Like Hathor's anger forth went 

To drink our own blood, 
To Drink, so that we might continue 
With the HIGH of aspired perspiration 
A progression of deep vague Illusion 
Froth with a vast stream of never ending meanings 
From this we then wallow 
In a shallow mired swamp 
In the mirrored intent of ALL, 
That casts a deeper meaning 
Of Fantastic Pulsing Grandeur 
Transgressing and progressing 
Rewarding the unintentional. 

Thereby, sometimes I think and know 
That LOVE is the only absolution. 
Thereby I can continue 
Forth from the mired illusion 
As the " IF" was always timeless 
As the " IF " where Time itself. 
Beyond you and me or Audry 
No matter how we may have left it 
The spark of LIFE still seems so endless! 
The Spark of LIFE is ever present 
Flying like the fluid Ripple 
A Window for All of us still lucid 
For All of who may listen 
LIFE is never ending and always will continue! 
No matter how often we may be falling! 
FORTH WITH OR FROM NOT!
