The Gods #76965 Female Virginity - and Athena

AvatarAsk Zeus Operator1 min to read

Why is she referred to as Athena the Virgin and being a symbol of purity, but the Gods are against restrictions on sexuality?

In this case is any mention of virginity/purity in general just a referrence to the cleanliness of the soul/aura/chakras or is there more to it?

Usually the concept of virginity refers to the incorrupt states of the soul, now I don't know what example you are talking about specifically, but basically mythology is a teaching (so it is spread allegorically). Zeus turning into animals to have sex with ever-changing women is obviously not to be taken literally. Ganesha is not a strange """""""furry"""""""" etc. (Sorry Lord Ganesha, my God, for me to having used such an example, that was just an example)

Virginity as a concept is something that's been heavily corrupted by the enemy. It's got nothing to do with whether one has had sex or not, it relates to the purity and cleanliness of the soul, spiritual advancement, removal of negative karma and such.

Because this metaphor would be understood well by the ancient Greek people of that time.

Nobody would then go out into the Forums of Sparta and yell at women on the street that their body count is too high and men deserve virginal women like Athena.

The taboo on sexuality didn't exist like it does today at the time when this mythology was revealed and spread, so the allegory worked while not having unwanted side effects.

In this context, it meant the soul, not sexuality.

Purity of the soul, purity of the chakras.

«You will find on the left of the halls of Hades a spring, and standing by it a white cypress. Do not approach this spring at all. You will find another, from the Lake of Memory, with cold water flowing from it. Guardians stand before it. Say: 'I am a child of Earth and starry Heaven, but my race is of Heaven alone. You know this yourselves. I am parched with thirst and am perishing. Give me quickly the cold water flowing from the Lake of Memory.' And they will give you to drink from the sacred spring, and after that you will reign among the other heroes» - From the Petelia Tablet (300-200 BCE)
