[Image shows a poem with a space down the middle. The poem can be read in full, or either side can be read separately. The left side is titled, "lady macbeth", and the right side is titled, "macbeth".

Together they read,

i love you you have transformed me with strange tenderness and i am the monster that startles me in the mirror. and i have come full circle. i cannot allow this. this is me, myself as I was destined to be from my birth. so soft it hurts.

The lady macbeth side reads,

i love you with strange tenderness that startles me and i cannot allow myself to be so soft

The macbeth side reads,

you have transformed me and i am the monster in the mirror. i have come full circle. this. this is me, as I was destined from my birth. it hurts.

Utroba Cave in the Rhodope mountains, Bulgaria. Carved by hand more than 3000 years ago (?), it was rediscovered in 2001.

Archeologists hypothesize that an altar built at the end of the cave, which is about 22 m deep, represents either the cervix or the uterus.

At midday, light seeps into the temple through an opening in the ceiling, projecting an image of a phallus on to the floor.

When the sun is at the right angle, in late February or early March, the phallus grows longer and reaches the alter, symbolically fertilizing the womb before the sowing of the spring crops.

These people were drawing dicks on the ground with the sun in 1000 BCE. All you fools messing with Sharpies need to step up your game.

“Hee! That looks kind of like-”

“Come on, self, don’t make it weird.  It’s just a cave.”

“Oh.”

It’s interesting how much our conception of sexually suggestive things compare to that of ancient humans. To us, a yonic cave is funny, and sexuality, especially deviant sexuality, has been funny since Lysistrata and probably quite a bit before; meanwhile, to the ancient Thracians, this cave probably seemed like an incarnation of the eternal principles of fertility, which they were always relying on to survive. They were growing plants and giving birth and raising children and one of the only things that stood between them and famine or death in childbirth was showing proper reverence to the vagina cave.

I feel like it isn’t an either-or conecpt, honestly. One can have humor and sexuality and reverence all in the same moment, event, or location- I mean look at most of those same greeks yoh mention with Lysistrata. It’s only modern culture that added the need for centering a sense of shame around genitals and introducing a concept of deviance from the norm. The Thracians were hopefully laughing it up and worshipping all at the same time. Joy does more worship than respectful reverence.
