[Tango-L] The tango goddess

[Andrew RYSER SZYMAÑSKI]

Dear Bandido,

You better check your facts. At the Council of Ephesus
[431] Mary was officially declared "Mother of God".
The supreme all-generating Goddess of 10,000 years ago
was thus brought back into the mainstream. Before that
we had 400 years of very patriarchal
Judeo-Christianity, subsequently revived in the 16th
Century by Martin Luther, and still alive & kicking in
the Anglo-Saxon world, perhaps not now so much as a
religion but as an ideology. This  would explain the
patriarchal distortions of our dance in the US & UK.
Ideologically, the Tango comes from a Marianist [&
matriarchal] background, and is therefore "dedicated
to the Woman" [Cacho Dante]. No Latin woman would call
herself a mere "follower"......

Cheers,

Andy.
