Anyone have any thoughts on why the Goddess has always been connected to love AND WAR?

my thought; you need to get out more.

You are correct.

apprentice here,
the sacred feminine was used for pretty much everything back in the day
she would represent the fertility of love because of the womb but then the ability to take life away with war

right on! Someone told me that teh crimes committed in women prisons against other women made mens prisons look like a girlscout convention. Also that women were the best snipers.

Defiantly the most vicious of the sexes. One time I planted the boney part of the flat of my upper foot against this co practitioner gentailia and laced my hands around the back of her neck then dropped to the mat to launch her.

Well the absence of groin protection (do chicks use groin protection, besides a chastity belt?) and the contact or the two surfaces created suction so strong (like putting the palms of your hands together) that when I launched her the top of my foot remained attached and it nearly dislocated my hip! It wasn't until she cut lose a booming pussy fart that my foot was released.

Anybody else ever had that problem?

Someone could make a lot of money inventing a jock strap for chicks.

SOme thoughts on the goddess connection.

Why did the ancients associate Love and War together? Why was it always a goddess? Is their any link to from the ancient world goddess beliefs to the martial arts?

The universe is not personal so dont take it personally. Women are endowed by nature with the ability to give life. While today in our modern Patriarchal world we assume that killing is a mans job, nature originally intended it a womans. That which by nature can give can by nature take away.
A few things on women.
They are able to discern reds and purples and shades of such colours which gives them a natural advantage at dusk and dawn. As well with detection of movement of certain colored animals against their natural backrounds. The huntress or goddess Diana was all about this-the hunt and the rituals which usually began at sun down and ofte culminated by sun rise.
The longest era of peace and the only reign of anything human (over 1 thousand years) was that of the matriarchal ancient societies. This goes back to the time of Sumeria. To the time and place of the Ishtar Gate, the goddess of love and war.
Some people have often humoursly remarked that women have been the cause of many a war.

What has often been ignored is that women are the primal hunter/killer. Men are the muscle but women were born with natural abilites in this areas. Women have poor depth perception which is why they crash cars and airplanes more often than men. In
a hand to hand combat situation this is to their advantage. They have a tendency to blast through their targets instead of come up short. Ask any martial arts instructor who has spent time training women-they all were cups!

They are advantaged in skills requireing manual dexterity. Get a rifle, say a good old fashion M-14 with a 10x Leupold scope

thats dialed in and some well packed ammo. They'll shoot your nuts off at a 1000 yards. No depth perception needed, only dexterity.

They have a natural maternal guarding instinct and will fight as feroiously, nay, even more ferociously than a man. Ever notice the way they eyeball each other when another women walks into a room. It aint about style or fashion baby, its about domination.

In sumeria, Ishtar or Inanna --"Queen of the sky" ---is where it all began. Modern science is unable to explain how an advanced culture with a complete language, rules for living, a whole society sprang up out of nowhere. And the people who have put the real reasons why have been labeled crack pots and those who are possessed of diseased imaginations.

Advanced combat grappling arts existed and the most common of grappling techniques involved grabbing the beard by the chin and with the other hand tilting the head for a kill. Thier grappling art interestingly enough was known as "sumo".

From Sumeria, which was located near todays Iraq, between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and was most well known for the city Babylon which literally translates to "Gate of the Gods" (Yes think stargate!). My translation from the language Emmesh translates to "Shining Distant Light". Anyway , all peoples and all races were depicted their- in one place, where all arts, sciences, languages and technologies were ONE which then became divided as the people spread and become divided amongst themselves.

The next place the goddess pops up is in India in the form of Kali. An anient art known in India (not by many) is known as Kalaripayit. It stems from the goddess Kali and refers to kalari-ways of war- and payit-house. literally balttle house. It was often taught in dug out circular holes that represented the yin, receptive, or vaginal aspect, much in the same way a house is

receptive and recieves occupants. It was a combination of Yoga, ancient wisdom, medicine, dance, and straight up ass kick.

The southern indians were known for circular hand patterns and the northern known for acrobatics and kicking techniques. It was a whole art and had a secret tradition known as Marma-adi or pressure points. Their were even ways of touching elephants that caused them to always have the same reactions, sit down etc.... The same concept is easily seen at home for those of you with dogs. Usuing your hand like a claw (thung and forefinger) sqeeze just above the hip joint of your dog while its standing. It will sit every time.

In China is where we next find the Goddess. In the South Sea to be exact. Quan Yin, the goddess of mercy. Depicted over an ocean riding a black dragon and holding the gourd of the elixir of immortality concocted by the immortal alchemists. Literally translated Quan yin refers to "the place of the sound emanation" and is a reference to the wailings of those in pain, troubled or
about to be executed. It was beleived that Quan Yin attended to these things.

Interestingly enough in San Soo there is the Ho Ga Kuen or Ho Family that specialized in the application of nerve center concepts, manipulations, and disruption techniqes of these centers. Marma-adi?

Next, and yes it keeps going, we find our selves on the island of Okinawa. A student of of goju Ryu and Shorin ryu named

Tatsuo Shimabuku creates his own style and calls it Isshinryu. One night he has a dream in which a --"lady from the sky"-- came to him riding on a black dragon over the sea and from that day forth the image appears on the patches on the gis of its
practioners.

anyone care to add to this?

something about big fish small pond, someone jog my memory please.

apprentice here,
yes GG, also think back to Greek mythology where Athena would almost always conquer Aries. Athena would use strategy to outwit her opponnet while Aries would resort to brute force and hope to pull through.
then not as long ago think about the old wives tales. They would keep tradition going with oral stories that would date back hundreds of years. Also in westren times, the women would be the ones to look after the young becuase of their superior hearing and watchful eye.
although they may not always have the courage to use brute force when it is needed, their strategy will still remain and will eventually be able to outwit most men.
not to mention that color blindness is almost always found in men, so women do have the overall advantage of sight.
going back to Greek mythology again, there were dieties that represented the feminie (such as Aphrodite) and others that represented the huntress (Athena). But then again along with the sacred feminine, there are instances of the male. Such as how Zues would have multiple partners and how Eros, the son of Aphrodite, was the god of love. But then again Aphrodite was the goddess of beauty and pretty much everything womanly.
so what were u saying bout big fish and small ponds?

This is what I am here for. Thank you apprentice. Who wants to be a big fish in a small pond, theres no more room for growth! And besides I am one man. But when others join in and post I become many and possessed of many strengths, views, and perspectives that I, on my own, would never have known!
Great material App!
