HISTORY
OF THE END OF THE WORLD
RIANNA
Rianna
means “pagan goddes/priestess. An universal function of tribes,
communities and ancient cultures. And they still exist: some are
dormant like “my” Rianna, others are still active and are
venerated by millions of people. You even can state that “Holy
Mary” in the christian church and “Maryam” in Islam portray
this archetype.
A
famous classical example is “the Pythya”, the female oracle of
Delphi in Greece. Some call it the navle of the world.
Due
to drugs and volcanic vapour she got into trance and answered
questions put before her by kings and emperors (Alexander the Great).
But her answers were treacherous and ambigous. A king from Asia Minor
wanted to wage war against a neighbour. He asked the oracle if it was
wise to do so. Her answer was, that an famous kingdom and a famous
king would fall.
The
king went home and started a war. He lost. A great kingdom and king
have fallen.
In
northern Europe the Kelts used the name “Rianna” for the
priestesses serving in the temples. The Kelts were naturalists who
adored nature and who filled their worlds with heroes, goeds,
monsters, elfes, demons, giants and dwarves. Trees have inormous
powers, especially the oak, and functioned as “totem-like guides”
for individuals and groups. Keltic temples were the home of holy
trees, stonecircles, monoliths (menhir), underground cellars and
burial tombs.
Michael,
and others, slew real dragons; monsters that penetrated this world
from another dimension. Some forces were even invited in.
Their
male counterpart was the socerer, magicion, healer, bard or druid.
This community settled on holy places, preferably on an mountain or
hill, where they herded cattle, cared for the trees and performed
rituals and ceremonies, together wth the riannas.
Glastonbury
is a famous example, anotherone is “Almenum” in Frisia. Here once
too, riannas served the Gods.
