Welcome to Friday WorshipToday's Friday Worship has a sad theme. Last week saw the death of a great lady and true avatar of Ishtar, Miss Bettie Page. Bettie brought beauty, elegance and a truly innocent sexiness to America in the 1950's at a time when they needed it most. Her image and legacy have become iconic.
Rest in peace, Bettie.
You alter the Fates, and an ill event becomes good;
I have sought you amongst the gods; supplications are offered to you;
To you amongst the goddesses I have turned, with intent to make entreaty,
Before you is a (protecting) shedu[a genie], behind you a (protecting) lamassu [another type of genie],
At your right is Justice, at your left Goodness,
Fixed on your head are Audience, Favour, Peace,
Your sides are encompassed with Life and Well-being;
How good it is to pray to you, how blessed to be heard by you!
Your glance is Audience, your utterance is the Light.
Have pity on me, O Ishtar! Order my prospering!
Glance on me in affirmation! Accept my litany!
This weekend is also the weekend of the Winter Solstice and Sunday is Global Orgasm Day.
So, along with the beautiful Bettie herself, we would like to wish all our friends and lovers a loving, lustful and joyous holiday.
