Demeter's Kore

Philomelus or Philomenus was a minor Greek demi-god, the son of Demeter and Iasion , and the brother of plutus . Plutus was very wealthy, but gave none of his riches to his brother. Out of necessity Philomenus bought two oxen, invented the wagon or plough, and supported himself by ploughing his fields and cultivating crops. His mother, admiring him for this, put him in the heavens as the constellation Bootes , his wagon or plough being the constellation Ursa major .

But I feel like we have lost communication somewhere. I want to be able to commune with the Spirit as I was once almost able to do. I need to, for the sake of my children, because I feel that both of them are very special and important to the Spirit. I feel that I am supposed to guide them toward a greater oneness with the Spirit. Perhaps through them, the world will find more oneness with the Spirit as well. Before you go on wondering what the Spirit is to me. Let me just tell you....The Spirit is all gods and no gods at all. The Spirit is the earth, the air, the water, everything living and dead. And yes, the Spirit even is what man has made from engineering and science (M
