These obscene Goddesses described by her heal through sexual/sensual means. One is Baubo, the ancient Greek Goddess of Obscenity or the Belly Goddess. Another one is named Coyote Dick. And I think a contemporary person who should go in this category is our dear Annie Proulx.


     !!!  A goddess named Coyote Dick?!?   Now that's a deep metaphor!

I've read Women Who Run With the Wolves several times, and I think "Coyote Dick" was the title of a story about Baubo.

Am at a library computer right now, but will check on it. 

A conversation between Clarissa Estes and Annie Proulx would definitely be one where I'd love to be a fly on the wall!

I love this old topic, that's come new again.  Just got off the phone with Fiona, and she's in quite a state with her current situation with her oldest, and I've made her promise me that she and I both will put Brokeback into our PC's exactly an hour from now -- 7 my time, 8 her time.  I'm hoping that will give her a bit of respite.

And on this particular viewing, I'll be looking for handles.
   ;)
