Chapter 066: Goddess of Justice
Without paying too much attention to the surprised gazes of those who were eliminated, the demons were all looking at the statue of the goddess of the room, very surprised. And the examiner here doesn't know where to go.
Seeing that some demons around him began to ask about the whereabouts of the Eliminator Examiner, Bai Long smiled: "Let's take this opportunity to find out first, although the president explained to us the humorous version of Virgo, we still need to have a deeper understanding." Let's start with this statue of the goddess, which is Astleia, the goddess of justice, who, according to us here, is the daughter of Zeus. In the beginning, she lived on earth, before there was conflict and bloodshed among the people. Astraya would haunt the common people, gathering the elders in the market from time to time, urging them to obey the laws of nature.
But as humanity gradually became corrupted, Astraya began to hate them for their crimes, and left the earth forever to return to his heavenly father Zeus, and became a heavenly Virgo. In this statement, Astraya is portrayed as a harsh and punisher of crimes, and she has a lot in common with the goddess of revenge.
But Astraea's justice is not embodied in the courtroom, nor is it different from the standard of good and bad in social relations. It is the way of existence of all things in nature, including plants, animals and man, and it is also the law, routine and normal course of the gigantic animal called the world or the universe, which is manifested by the change of seasons and the withering of plants. To see this, we depend on the observation of the celestial bodies in the firmament. This is also the rule that the eighth-level universe walks in, and from among the celestial bodies, we can transcend the sacred.
Can you use the power of celestial bodies? This has also become the criterion for judging the separation between immortals and mortals, in our place. Every living being has the same substance in its body as it is that makes up the stars. I don't know what your earth is called, big brother, but it's all the same. It's all about one thing. And to awaken it and let it exert its superpowers, we call it the natal constellation. And with the help of the spells of other celestial bodies, we collectively refer to them as "Stars".
Let's go back to the Goddess of Justice, who in this story is no different from the ancient goddess of fate, Moira, even though Astraya is not such an original goddess and is not responsible for the arrangement of fate. She looks more like a manifestation of the inherent laws of nature, and her aversion to humanity looks like a manifestation of the traditional Virgo's aversion to disorder, chaos, and waste of time and resources. Just like Astraea, Virtuoso doesn't have much sympathy for the guy who indulges himself and messes things up.
Under the administration of the goddess Astleia. Everything has its own location in time and space, and a natural form in the universe has its own proper cycle and value. It is not surprising that, under the domination of such a goddess, Virgoes tend to be ritualistic or formalistic, and their purpose in life is that "justice must be restored."
The legends of the gods are always so ambiguous, the grain in the hands of the goddess in front of her indicates that she should be the goddess of grain, some say that she is related to Aphrodite, others believe that she is the goddess of fate because her head disappeared into the stars, and others say that her essence is actually hidden in conjunction with the goddess Isis...... All of this, but the true virgin God is actually a mixed image, representing both abundance and barrenness. Order and justice are closely related to moon worship.
For example, we have three virgin gods here - Athena, the goddess of war, Artemis, the goddess of the moon, and Hestia, the goddess of the hearth. Although they all vowed to remain chaste, the only one who really had no bad record was Hestia, who was also the original virgin goddess. She was not used to the chaotic and incestuous system of the gods of Olympus. She is the patron saint of true virgins. Compared to her, Athena and Artemis seem a bit contrived.
And Artemis, the goddess of the moon, often rumors of Fei Wen (for the sake of river crabs, many of which are homophonic. Everyone understands that the author did not deliberately make a typo. She's also not as kind as the legend says.
Generally. Virgo is indeed complex and embodies a deep contradiction. It is a mixture of the upright and old-fashioned Astraia and the goddess of the moon in Asia Minor. This contradiction creates great conflicts in Virgo, and the development pattern of the zodiac sign itself is reflected in these conflicts. Whether it happens between the individual and the cultivator, between marriage and independence), between the soul and the material, or between morality and indulgence, Virgo is always torn between the opposites of these lives, trying to do both.
Virgos often choose to embody one at the expense of the other, which always leads to problems, as the fate of this sign does not seem to allow for such separation. The other goddess who represents the sign of Virgin is the queen of the underworld who was kidnapped by Hades, and she chose to keep the body of the virgin [son] instead of becoming a woman, but the unknown side of herself is represented by other goddesses.
The word virgin, like this sign, is complex in itself. It's just that we tend to understand it more like women who have never tasted the affairs of men and women, and have no experience, but this is actually far from what it originally meant. Some mythological virgin gods are not virgins. Speaking of which, we have to mention the dark side of Artemis, the goddess of the moon, why does she like deer?
Under her rule, she would order all women to be given a night to sleep with strangers before marriage as a devotion to the gods, which was enough to overturn our perception of the word virgin. Not only that, but she is ruthless, mortals are ants in her eyes, and they can be manipulated at will, because she is a god.
This is also one of the reasons why the Vexi Continent truly worships Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, surpassing all the gods, even the god king Zeus does not have such a powerful power of belief in sentient beings. Here, Artemis is also known as one of the three goddesses because of another understanding of the word. The virgin is used for an unmarried woman, but it is not limited to whether she is chaste or not, and sometimes it is even used to refer to an unmarried mother.
Speaking of which, we inevitably think of the question of being a woman. I believe that since you dare to oppose the gods, you must have a detailed investigation of the various states in the world here of us. As you investigated, there are a lot of gods in our place, and the competition for believers is a big deal. Even those great gods, they want to fight for more.
From the perspective of the goddesses, they themselves are extremely noble, and naturally they will not commit themselves to mortals, of course, Aphdilote, the god of love and beauty. Other goddesses compete for the power of faith, and they have dirty deals in their temples. The bait that promised greedy women the attainment of demigod status, allowing them to bestow so-called divine gifts on devout believers in their place. To put it bluntly, they are chicken girls, and they are not even as clean as real chicken girls, because their hearts are dirty.
Therefore, the meaning of the word virgin is different, it does not represent chastity at all. The image of the goddess here is like Aphdilote, who we represented Taurus before, she is a frequent communicator, so she throws off the ugly god and messes around. Of course, she can't be blamed for this.
It is this contradiction that makes a lot of tension appear in virgins, which is also one of the most tense of the zodiac signs. They sometimes have unconventional or strange beliefs, but that's the paradox, but this inner morality is very strong, based on what they call a "sense of justice," which is no different from traditional norms of behavior.
This inner strong sense of morality is contradictory to the outward appearance that is considered by society to be very immoral and even bestial. It often makes people confused who is the real "woman". This is the same as the previous constellations, this is the shackles of fate, as long as you don't admit your dark side, there will always be sinners like Hades appear, and shoot out, of course, this is not all about faith and behavior, but throughout the whole of life, even if you become a god, as long as you don't get rid of fate for a day, then you have no choice.
Just as Aries rebels against the "terrifying fathers", Taurus needs to tame the brute bull in their hearts, Gemini opposites reconcile, Cancer has to face the "terrifying mother goddess" of Hera, and the lion who is also a fire sign faces the "terrifying fathers", it is easier and common for Virgo to escape into ritualistic or paranoid behavior.
Virgins, both men and women, often have to face a dilemma between two paths: the path of resignation and good safety and rewards, but the very barren path, and the fertile but often lonely, faithful path of the heart.
And now, we have become gods, and we have a certain understanding of these, no matter what sign we are, we will choose the third way - to get rid of the control of fate, and then choose. Instead of thinking about what is right and what is wrong before fate throws us a problem. ”
"Whew!" Red Lotus let out a long puff of cigarette, and he agreed with Bai Long's statement: "Haha, Bai Lao is very right, we now understand the origin of the twelve constellations and certain hypotheses, but our purpose remains the same." The reason why we understand is to get the strength to get rid of fate, not to be a "good boy" in front of fate. ”。 What we have to do is to get rid of the gods who have been fooled by fate, they don't fight themselves, but instead impose these misfortunes on the weak, and the butcher's knife of the demon moon is the kind of pseudo-gods and pseudo-immortals that are chopped.
