not that souls are a thing that exist // a dan and phil web weave about soulmatism

Absolute raw quote I heard from a coworker yesterday:

The language of power is the handle on the knife.

I've never written a quote I feel would be suitable for my gravestone. Wouldn't it be ironic if it were this one? Oh, and could you pull a few weeds while you're here?

"To anyone who has ever been in thrall to a cat, the general absence of cat goddesses is inexplicable. Only the ancient Egyptians who worshipped the cat-headed Bastet, seem to have recognized the ineffable perfection of that animal. Before 1000 BCE, Bastet was perceived as a Sun Goddess with the head of a lion and worshipped for her ability to heal. She was also the wife, daughter, or sister of the Sun God Ra, as well as his protector. Every night, after Ra sailed across the sky in his little boat, he entered the underworld and was attacked by the evil serpent Apep, who represented the forces of chaos. Every dawn, the fierce battle came to an end when Bastet slashed the serpent's vertebrae and decapitated him. (...) No longer a Sun Goddess, she became a lunar deity and was associated with love, sex, music, dance, and pleasures of all kinds.”
