Koran and the Goddess Kore



Rasa Von Werder, photographer, is building a Mega-Website to house her work; an education / spiritual vehicle that will put God back into Sex & Sex back into Religion.  It is a fall-back to our Original Source:  Mother God - When She was worshiped, women were venerated & Sex was Sacred.  We will revive Goddess Religion, Shaktiism, & Tantra Sex.  We will teach men how to worship God through the woman's body & how to make love to Her in a pleasing manner.

Koran

Mohammedan scriptures, often erroneously thought to have been written by Mohammed.  Moslems don't believe this. But many don't know the Koran was an enlarged, revised version of the ancient Word of the Goddess Kore, revered by Mohammed's tribe, the Koreshited (Children of Kore), who guarded her shrine at Mecca.

The original writing was done long before Mohammed's time by holy imans, a word related to Semitic ima, "mother".  Like the original mahatmas or "great mothers" in India, the original imams were probably priestesses of the old Arabian matriarchate.  It was said they took the scriptures from a prototype that existed in heaven from the beginning of eternity, "Mother of the Book" – i.e., the Goddess herself, wearing the Book of Fate on her breast as Mother Tiamat wore the Tablets of Destiny.  Sometimes the celestial Koran was called the Preserved Tablet. There was some resemblance between this and other legendary books of divine origin, such as the Ur – text, the Book of Thoth, and the Emerald Tablet of Hermes.

As in the case of the Judeo-Christian Bible, the Koran was much rewritten to support new patriarchal laws and to obliterate the figures of the Goddess and her priestesses.

Kore

Greek holy Virgin, inner soul of Mother Earth (Demeter); a name so widespread, that it must have been one of the earliest designations of the World Shakti or female spirit of the universe.  Variations include Ker, Car, Q're, Cara, Kher, Ceres, Core, Sanskit Kaur or Kauri, alternative names for the Goddess Kali.

Shrines of Karnak in Egypt and Carnac in Brittany were sites of gigantic temples and funerary complexes over 5000 years ago, dedicated to Kar or Kore.  France had similar shrines in similarly-named locations, Kerlescan, Kercado, Kermario.  The last name combined the pagan Virgin with the Goddess Mari, who was sometimes her daughter, her mother, or herself, like Kali embodied in Kel-Mari.  Inhabitants of Carnac, and of Carnuntum on the Danube, called themselves in Roman times the Carnutes, "people born of the Goddess Car."

In Egypt's early dynastic period there was a place called Kerma (Mother Ker) in Nubia, where mass sacrifices took place.  A similar name, Kara, was held in reverence by several early Egyptians rulers, Egyptians spoke of an eastern land called Kher, and called Palestine the country of Kharu.

Car or Carna was known to the Romans as "a Goddess of the olden time," whose archaic worship was connected with Karneia festivals of Sparta and the classic Roman Carnival.  Sometimes she was Carmenta "the Mind of Car," who invented the Roman alphabet.  An extremely old temple on the Caelian Hill was dedicated to her.  A later variation of her name was Ceres, origin of such words as cereal, corn, kernel, core, carnal, cardiac.

In the east this ancient Goddess was everywhere.  Some said she was Artmis Caryatis, mother of the Caryatides of the Laconian temple of Caryae.  The Tyrian seaport Caraalis (modern Cagliari) was sacred to her.  One of Israel's oldest shrines, the "garden" called Mount Carmel, was her place and that of her baalim (gods).

Kore was a great power in Coptic religion, with a flourishing cult at Alexandria in the 4th century A.D.  Her festival, the Koreion, was held each January 6, later assimilated to Christianity as the feast of Epiphany.  Kore's festival celebrated the birth of the new year god Aeon to the Virgin, whose naked image was carried seven times around the temple, decorated with gold stars and the sign of the cross.  The priests announced to the public that the Virgin had brought forth the Aeon.

The Koreion passed into British tradition as the Kirn, or Feast of Ingathering, which the church later changed to the Feast of Our Lady of Mercy.  Kirn was cognate of the Greek kern or sacred womb-vase in which the grain god was reborn.  Here again the Kore or Ker was a virgin mother.  The Goddess's harvest instrument, a moon-sickle, represented even the Christian version of the festival. 

The classic myth of Kore's abduction by Pluto was another instance of a god's usurpation of the Goddess's power, according to the Gnostic sources.  "Plutonius Zeus…does not possess the nourishment for all mortal living creatures, for it is Kore who bears the fruit."  Kore's resurrection represented the seasonal return of vegetation.  She was also the World Soul animating each human soul, and looking out of the eyes.  Reflection in the pupil of the eye was known as the Kore or "Maiden" in the eye.  To the Arabs, it was the "baby" in the eye.  The Bible calls either a daughter or a soul "apple of thine eye" (Proverbs 7:2); and of course, every apple had a Kore.
