World Tree

2022-09-16 notes

I am pondering doing an audio podcast. It will probably focus on software freedom, politics, and religion.

Today I pondered the number 9, representing the Womb. This is done with an eight-pointed star, with the ninth as the nexus in the center. This can be seen in the 9 forms of Maa Durga, or the Womb Matrix Mandala with eight figures surrounding Dainichi Nyorai in the center. Or we see the nine worlds in Icelandic paganism. Settling on a religious path has been a difficulty for me since my later teenage years.

I also ponder the increasing issue of single males. It used to be that a man who was average looking would be able to eventually find someone. Will our society be able to survive this?
