Jimin shivers and this time and it’s not from the cold. We can’t all be the lucky ones, can we, little seer?” It lacks warmth and is tinged with a grim kind of acceptance. Yoongi stills, and then curls his lips into an amused little grin. It is as if every day is ticking down to something. A leader that never leaves the icy cave, the houses that have been left to ruin, the frantic need for success that follows Namjoon behind like a storm cloud – those are just a few of the signs that something wrong has happened here.
The constant state of worry that everyone is in, the frantic sort of time counting is a little unnerving.ĭespite the lack of knowledge Jimin has when it comes to everything concerning the outside world and everything that the temple saw as meaningless and downright bad, the seer can tell that the situation in the village is far from normal. Ever since that first vision he had been asked to see, the request itself and the wording of it seem so very strange to him. “What did you mean, when you said that you need to get your heart back?” Jimin turns around just slightly. “Don’t know if I will answer, though.” He curls his fingers into a fist and rests his head against it. “Just ask.” Yoongi has returned to his throne during the time Jimin spent in thought, seemingly uncaring of the ice that seems to envelop him like second skin. There is an itch to know, despite the seer realizing well enough that it’s not his place to dig deeper and unearth the secrets that this village holds.
Rather, it’s because of questions that are burning his tongue and threatening to break free. It’s not because of the storm that is still going, but no longer as strong. The New Book of Goddesses and Heroines, “Pandora”.ī, “ The Greek Myth of Pandora“.Jimin hesitates to leave Yoongi’s cave. Thus when ‘Pandora’s box’ – the womb – is opened, we are born into our trials and even our death, though women continue to hold hope within us” (p. This pithos symbolized the earth mother’s womb, in which the dead were placed in fetal position to await rebirth. Originally the ‘box’ was a pithos, an earthware jar used to store food and to bury the dead. Yet even this late story has symbolic overtones that point to Pandora’s earlier identity with the earth mother. Only one being, the hope Goddess Spes, remained in the box to comfort us. But, too curious to obey, She did so, and all the evils that afflict humanity escaped to run rampant through the world.
Gifted with all talents, the most beautiful creature imaginable, She was given a box and instructed never to open it. Later, as Greek society changed, She became the evil Eve of their legend, the one who brought all sorrow to earth. She was also called Anesidora (‘sender-forth of gifts’) and shown as a gigantic woman rising from the earth while little men opened Her way with hammer-blows. Patricia Monaghan states: “Originally was ‘rich in gifts,’ the ‘all-giver’, the earth in female form, endlessly producing food for people and animals the name may have been a title of the Greek Gaia. (Patricia Telesco, “365 Goddess: a daily guide to the magic and inspiration of the goddess”.) The token for hope, however, in the tradition of Pandora, never leaves the box, so that will always be part of your home.” When a wish is fulfilled, carry the corresponding token to keep that energy with you or give it to someone who needs that specific vibration in their life. Decorate the exterior lavishly and leave it in a special place with a candle that you can light briefly each day. Also place therein one object, herb, or stone to represent hope (basil and amethyst are two good choices). Fill it with special cloth and trinkets that represent your goal(s). In keeping with this tradition, with a uniquely magical twist, make a special wish box for yourself or your family today. This is how we come by the tradition of Christmas bonuses! Unlike modern connotations of putting away boxes, the name for this holiday, Boxing Day, came from the old custom of tradespeople and servants carrying boxes today to receive gratuities.
And even when the evils of the world threaten, let us not forget that Pandora’s box still, and always, holds hope. Unlike the later associations with Pandora, this Goddess’s name means ‘all-giver’ or ‘sender of gifts’. “Pandora’s themes are hope, prosperity and wishes.
