Mary is the Universal Mother

Because she shows up around the world in variations of "Mary" ... and being THEE mother.

Mary ... Jesus

Maia ... Buddha

Maia ... Hermes

Maya ... Agni

Myrrha ... Adonis

Myrrha ... Bacchus

Maya ... Sommona Cadam (a Siamese Savior)

Miriama ... Krishna

My post today about Candlemas reminded me of this for some reason.

I think "Mary" is English, anyway. I think it the Bible one was originally more like "Miriam".

If the English Bible names were translated a bit more honestly it would be more like Miriam and Joshuah, not Mary and Jesus.

Very interesting Peter...

Mayim (Mah-yeem) in Hebrew means water...

I'd say water is the "Mother Womb" of all life on earth... No?

Best,

(also, a little off subject but sort of related, have you seen the 'Man from Earth' the movie? It's interesting... worthwhile... If anyone has Netfilx, it is available, for a limited time, on their instant viewing list)
