2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

"imbued with pain and ecstasy, bringing about initiation and journeys of altered consciousness; punishment, moaning, ecstasy, lament and song, and participants exhausting themselves with weeping and grief."

Well, pain is pleasure after all ;)!

Also, kinda disappointed that there's no snark about how she could be the main villain in every zombie apocalypse movie (common threat of hers: I shall open the gates of hell, and the dead shall outnumber the living), nor was anything said about how she always ended up killing her mortal lovers. She was a bit crazy, but then again, she was also quite interesting, I think. Hence why I worship her, though I focus on her role as symbolizing the power and emotions of sex (it's the most powerful force in the universe, after chaos. And yes, I realize I'm using "force" incorrectly there) and less on her tendency to act like a histrionic spoiled brat.Sensual Endeavor, the sexy pony ;) (talk) 05:32, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
