RE: Goddess Isis and baby Horus. Handcut collage 70/50.
Another powerful one @georgeboya it's funny too, religion, it's all taken from its predecessors, you have to go back pretty far to find any 'original' religion. Just as our history is always written by the victors. Our pasts seem a very malleable thing indeed.
Thank you Donna:) It is exactly like that with religion. I will tell you a story... I live in Thessaloniki, Greece and this town was founded after the death of Alexander the Great by one of his generals. Cassandros realised that the region needed a major city/port but the villagers around did not want to leave them and move to build a new city. So he convinced them by saying that they must go and bulild a city around the spot of a temple dedicated to the God of coppersmiths. And so they did and through the years a lot of coppersmiths had their workshops around the temple. When the Christians came they demolished the temple and build a church on it, but still to this day the coppersmiths are around this church. The name of the church is Mary of the Coppersmiths. Always sth remains from the past and the habits of the people are hard to change:)
