In what little spare time we have, Paul and I like to watch movies or series. Currently we are watching Friends. I have been a Friends junkie since day one but this is Paul’s first time that he is being introduced to Rachel, Ross, Monica, Joey, Phoebe and Chandler. We are busy with season two.
A while ago we finished Sex and the City. All six seasons and the two movies. I have always loved it. We don’t own a television, as we simply have no interest for our lives to become about T.V. To many couples visit and eat and do just about anything in front of the T.V. So we have decided that we wont own one, besides, there is only bullshit on the T.V. mixed with doom and gloom and Julius Malema, and neither of these things interest me. We read or we watch movies and series on either the Mac or the Laptop. It’s that simple. Also it increases our quality time. But back to my point.
When we were watching Sex and the City I realized something. We always equate which character we are most like. I used to think that I was a Samantha. But this time round I realized that I am more of a Carry. Believe me I wasn’t happy about the discovery at first but it was the truth. As we reached season three I also realized that even though I am mainly a Carry I am in fact small bits of all of them.
This made me think about the Pagan world. Different people seem to connect to different aspects of Deity. When in fact we really have all of these aspects within us. You may be a little slut like the Enchantress but it doesn’t mean that you don’t have the wisdom of the Crone or the nurturing instinct of the Mother or the innocence of the Maiden. Yes you may connect more to a certain phase at a certain time but you are in fact all four of them the entire time! Just like the Goddess is all four continuously. We can of course take this further and say that therefore the Goddess and the God is continuously the same being and therefore whatever you call the creative force of the world does not matter at all. All Hail Spongebob!!
The same can be said of the elementals. We all have qualities of earth, air, fire and water in us.
Back to Sex and the City.
In the series then we deal with four Goddesses they are as follows
Carry – Maiden – she is the one that is desperately trying to make it in a big city while living out her passion. She is innocent and naïve about men and believes that most people are nice and cares. She is looking for love but finds thrills in the weird and wrong places. She loves the fast live and going out.
Miranda – Mother – she is the one that is busy providing for her family. A mother and business woman trying to have it all in a society that demands her to take the role of provider, yet still keep her feminine charms. She loves her son more than anything else and will work herself to a standstill to care for him. Needs things to be practical.
Charlotte – Crone – even though she is not old in the series she does have that certain sense of timeless style that goes with distinguished women. She very often over lunch drops some real pearls of wisdom that very often turns out as she predicted it. Has style and class reflected in her entire home.
Samantha – Enchantress – the seductress that uses her womanly prowes to get whatever she wants. She is confident, on top of her game and has no problem with her sexuality or body. She is a woman that takes of herself and wont ever give up on herself. Needs to have luxury and pleasures.
As I said, we all have these qualities, but which one are you most like.
I am firstly Carry, then Samantha, then Charlotte and lastly Miranda.
So see who you are and who your friends are and maybe that way we can also learn to understand each other better.
