Pandora Was Framed

We’ve been told, for centuries, not to open the box. Not to ask questions. Not to trust the feminine. Not to go looking for trouble.

They tell the story like this: Pandora – the first mortal woman – was created by the gods as punishment. She was curious. She opened the box. She unleashed all the evils into the world. And so it’s been said: the feminine is dangerous. Curiosity is dangerous.

Desire … is dangerous.

But what if that story was never true? What if the box was never a box – but a womb? What if the feminine wasn’t, after all, the cause of suffering, but in fact the vessel of creation, transformation, and return?

And what if that old Pandora myth itself was part of a cover-up – a rewriting, a severing, a deliberate shifting of the old stories away from the power of the Great Mother?

Because long before Zeus, long before Olympus, long before the sky gods claimed their thrones… there were mothers.

There were caves and groves and rivers.

There were goddesses who held it all: birth and decay, creation and destruction, chaos and bloom

The old myths didn’t disappear – they were buried. The feminine was fragmented. The womb turned into a curse. The jar turned into a threat.

But the earth remembers.

And the body remembers.

This is the beginning of a reclamation … and not just of one myth, but of many.

Persephone. Hekate. Eve. Lilith. They’re stirring.

They’re no longer willing to be misunderstood. And we are not here to behave.

We’re here to remember.
