THIS IS HOW THE STORY GOES...

The sky is of the father, the earth is of the mother.  The first person was the start of all things.  He came into being within the golden vessel that was the mother and appeared upon the earth.  But where did humans come from?  From Mother Earth.  And from what did Mother Earth come into being?  From the void....And from where did the void come into being...?

When talking about the original Mother, our questions have no beginning and no end.  There is just one story to offer in reply.

My mother told this wondrous story...
