If BB Gor was born 'dead' and is Dark Earth, then perhaps Devotees lose
their fertility and cease menstruating altogether.
Blood, especially menstral blood, is seen mythically as either taboo and
polluting or sacred and associated with life and fertility. I think
Ernaldans are definitely in the second category, so it seems a bit
inappropriate for BB Gor.
We seem to have a couple of alternatives:
- Prematurely menopausal crones.
- Permanently PMT - I'm sure this is the 'mythic' truth spread by non Gori.
- Reversion to a pre-menache (feral child) state: breasts and secondary sex
characteristics recede.
I mention the third because I see something child-like in the all-consuming
rage and fury described in BB's mythology, and in her single, all-consuming
focus. Born from a dead mother - alone and angry. But perhaps I'm
over-influenced by Kali-Ma. I realise there's a danger in mis-interpretation
here, so I 'll present it tentatively to see other folks reaction.
Cheers
