myth

A questing hero (male) wrests from an ancient the talisman that permits entry into the backward abyss of time and there sees acted out again the old drama of the struggle between the polytheistic population of all nature with divinity and the awful gathering of all divinity into the single Yahweh.

Once in a backward bending of time
Yahweh having gathered every god to his eye
Relinquished his powers to a woman yes woman
Who sowing the air with multitudinous music
Created a new woodland of souls and goddesses
Against the day when the forest would tremble
With the familiar thunder of I AM THAT I AM.
