Traveling Companions
Readers of Gyn/Ecology will recall that its Journey was/is a work of Hag-ography, a whirl through the time/space of Hag-ocracy, the Otherworld (Background) inhabited by Hags, Crones, Harpies, Furies, Amazons, Spinsters. As the Spooking, Sparking, and Spinning Voyagers continue to move, our Wanderlust/Wonderlust intensifies. The heat of our battles is heightened. The Force of our Fire is volcanic/epiphanic. The expanse of our Journey is Astral/Archaic and the Voyagers are Archelogians whose Lust is fueled by the influence of the stars.16
Archelogians are neither religious nor irreligious; we are Nag-Gnostic. One meaning of the verb nag is “to affect recurrent awareness, uncertainty, need for consideration, or concern; make recurrently aware of something (as a problem, solution, situation).” One meaning of the adjective gnostic is “believing in the reality of transcendental knowledge.” Nag-Gnostic Archelogians sense with certainty the reality of transcendental knowledge. At the same time, we never cease to Nag our Selves and others with recurrent awareness and uncertainty.
The Nags who blaze the paths of Pure Lust are characterized by rich diversity. Fired by Dreadful Desire, we battle the butchers/blockers/stoppers. Reeling through new Realms, Nags conjure forth Sister-Nagsters, all fueled with Elemental Fury. The following list will Name and summon forth a few. We are: Augurs, Brewsters, Dikes, Dragons, Dryads, Fates, Phoenixes, Gorgons, Maenads, Muses. We are Naiads, Nixes, Gnomes, Norns, Nymphs. We are Oceanids, Oreads, Orishas, Pixies. We are Prudes, Salamanders, Scolds, Shrews, Sibyls, Sirens. We are Soothsayers, Sprites, Stiffs, Sylphs, Undines. We are Viragos, Virgins, Vixens, Websters, Weirds.
As the crowd increases, the diversity intensifies. Our power is not of numbers but of astral force.
