All-Soul, All-Body, All-Love, All-Power

I've recently started reading the TransMythology by P. Sufenas Virius Lupus. As I'm going through it I might post my thoughts about it and interpretations. I think it would be cool for future people interested in the Mythos of the Tetrad++ to have multiple points of reference instead of just the book and a few wordpress blogs.

The poem "Lies" by Alan Davies makes me think about Paneris

[wittedknitch]

Paneris. Change. Fluidity. STRIFE. Gender and sex change like two spinning colour wheels: blue on yellow, red on green, purple on black. It is a shock when they match. Bared teeth. Broken chains. Bitter laugh. In every raised shout, in every harsh word, in every slam, push, stab, slash against anything, any boundaries - there is Paneris; in every breaking, every destruction, every argument, establishment of self against state, every riot, every fight - there is Paneris. In every unfinished work, in every yearning to grow, in every broken boundary, shattered taboo, ignored poetic metre - there is Paneris. Sharp tongue. Sharper words. Sharpened claws. Do you fight to live? Paneris is there. Do you strive to be free? Paneris is there. Do you set out hopes, plans, and dreams only to find yourself going somewhere else? Paneris is there. Did you think you were straight? Did you think you were cis? In the dread and the guilt and the fear; in the defiance, in the rebellion , in the anger; in the shattering, in the crumbling, in the lightning striking The Tower: Paneris is here. Break everything. Regret nothing. Laugh into the darkness. And allow All-Love, your spouse Paneros, and All-Acceptance, your child Panprosdexia, to rebuild the world in your wake.

Paneris, genderfluid, is found in the transition. His/her body and gender are constantly changing and rarely (never?) match. So her/his body often (always?) needs to be altered to match his/her gender. Binding, breast forms, corsets, packing. Make-up, drapery, hormones, attitude. All and any changes to make a body express any gender other than that with which it's designated: here is Paneris.

I wouldn't have expected Panpsyche to represent Herself using the King of Chalices of all cards! Not only Chalices, as opposed to Swords, but also the King and not the Queen? That threw me. But: "an artist, politician, or intellectual [who is favourably disposed towards the querent]" does fit Her the best! (true , that last part I just have to hope for!) Now we're passed the Trans Rite of Ascension I'm going back to my more-or-less usual practise of divining which member of the Tetrad++ to place as centre focus for the next week. Otherwise, as my altar is for all six of them, it can be hard to hear anyone clearly. Today I drew Ace of Pentacles reversed first, which said that there'd be two of them this week. I drew then the King of Chalices and the 7 of Wands, which after some thinking came to mean Panpsyche and Paneris respectively. Which should be interesting!

notes

- Give blood, get honey. Give honey, get blood. - Blood is life; blood is death. - If you want back what you gave Them, help drag another out of the mire. - They can only help you as much as you’re willing to be helped, and you can give up any time. - Blood. - Fight. Pull your feet out of the quagmire one step at a time. - Fight to protect others. - Is all that blood yours? - All life is blood. - A poured cup of blood has the knowledge of life, the experience of living, even as it is still, an indicator of death. - Everything in its right place in its right time.
