Transformation of Weaver
2020
The process of forming and reforming is empowered by Weaver. Weaver is at one time vast, acting through gravity to pull dust into suns, and also minute, riding with the bird to pollinate the flower. Every pattern you know, every pattern that is is formed by Weaver.
I am, we are pattern formed by Weaver, held always by Waratah.
Weaver exists in an ethereal state and an Earthly state, she takes the form of the Honeyeater, and pollinates (gathers matter) from Waratah. You can see Weaver patterning our world in every bird as is gathers, soars, perches.
From Designing Mythology
Designing Mythology is a questioning and proposal for old ways / new to exist as humans, using the process of 'mything' to reorientate back towards the planet, and recalibrate our value systems by dismantling the current shadow metaphors of the Western-colonial worldview. It proposes the restorying of scientific perspectives to offer a cosmology that includes humans as part of the living world whilst simultaneously removing us from the centre. Thus a recognition and return, via a circuitous route, to the worldviews, deep connection and sustainment of the first peoples of our planet.
