Even less obvious to most is that Warrior’s Quest
males see and experience the presence of female bodies and
the feminine through a fundamental personal ritual
which we Earthfolk describe and present as the Ritual of Skin.
Earthfolk trace this ritual back to a vision of dominion,
a set of images about the body, and a description of what counts as
intimate acts of relationship, first expressed in the Genesis account
in the dominant Abrahamic Big Story.
In Genesis, female bodies and
the feminine are “skinned” out of the
male body.
In Genesis, the woman Eve is “birthed” from
Adam’s male body—his rib.
It is “revealed” that “the male
body is the birthing
body.”
The import of this ritual act is staggering. Suffice
it say, at this time, that since Abrahamic females and
the feminine have no skin, they cannot experience intimacy.
Nor can they make present any aspect of sensual preciousness. They cannot ever
be Beloved. Rather, they have meaning only in respect
to the male body and the masculinity from which they are derived.
Opening insights into the three dominant
Big Stories and their rituals is a key challenge and objective of our
Earthfolk vision and practice of sensual preciousness on Pathway B—Seer.
