Half-siblings sending mail across the multiverse (alternate universe?) Featuring @dildemma 's Anar and Amme (inspired by their comment on Twitter) Both kiddos love bugs so why not have them send bugs to each other. It won't have any sort of ecological implications.

RACINES

Paroles/Lyrics: Catherine Ribeiro Musique/Music: Anne Sylvestre

Je ne crois pas en Dieu L'infiniment Puissant Parce que je crois en l'homme À son vol en suspens.

Je crois au grand soleil Qui réchauffe la terre À l'hymne de l'éveil Au ventre de ma mère À la vie sacrement De sueur et de sang Aux larmes de l'amour À l'arbre du secours.

Je ne crois pas en Dieu L'infiniment Puissant Parce que je crois en l'homme À son vol en suspens.

Et je crois au grand vent Qui souffle nos mémoires Au saint du temps présent À l'issue provisoire Aux germes du printemps Aux courbes de l'été Au regard transparent de l'être tant aimé.

Je ne crois pas en Dieu L'infiniment Puissant Parce que je crois en l'homme À son vol en suspens.

Et je crois aux mystères De nos âmes en sursis Aux fragments de la chair De nos corps insoumis Aux chemins de la croix Qu'il nous faut supporter En l'absence de la foi Qu'il nous faut retrouver.

Je ne crois pas en Dieu L'infiniment Puissant Parce que je crois en l'homme À son vol en suspens.

I've never heard anyone who thought the moon represents negative things. The moon has always been more associated with protection and balance. Guardian, knowledge, keeper of dreams. Silver was believed to be solid moonlight, hence why it's so effective against evil. Silver usually has a more positive association than gold. Silver is pure (which is why it's so effective against evil) whereas gold is a corrupting influence. I guess it could have negativity associated with it, but so does the sun - pride and arrogance, for example.

Plus, there are cultures with a male moon and female sun. The Norse. The Japanese. Egypt has male moon gods (but most of their gods are male in general....)

There's a reason the moon is associated with femininity, and it's in large part due to menstrual cycles.

Also, an association with dragons isn't necessarily a good thing. At least in most places in Europe.

Last night I remembered another of my favourite Tolkien wifeguy facts.

So in Western mythology we've often personified the Sun as masculine and the Moon as feminine. Off the top of my head: The Sun is associated with purity, reason, scholarship, illumination, constancy, dragons, gold, and masculinity. On the other hand, the Moon is associated with darkness, silver, impurity, flux, change, uncertainty, fickleness, and femininity.

You can see all this imagery being adopted, eg, in the Mozart opera THE MAGIC FLUTE, in which a benevolent scholar wizard (with solar imagery). straight up kidnaps the daughter of the evil, passionate Queen of the Night so that she can be properly educated in Enlightenment rationalism, purged of all those icky feminine night/lunar influences, and turned into a good submissive little wife for the scholar's young disciple. Guys the music slaps but the story is SO gross and misogynistic.

Anyway, what does this have to do with Tolkien? I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED.

In Middle-Earth, Tolkien does a GENDERSWAPPED Sun and Moon. The Sun is She, the Moon is He. And, like, it's not that he just thought "oh how can I make this mythology Different" - he really thought this through. In THE SILMARILLION, Tolkien tells us that the Sun and Moon are two vessels made from the last flower of Telperion and the last fruit of Laurelin, the Two Trees which once gave light to Valinor. Two Maiar were chosen to pilot these vessels. The pilot of the moon is Tilion, a hunter of Orome, and the pilot of the sun is Arien: "Arien the maiden was mightier than he", a spirit of fire whom I strongly suspect to be an unfallen Balrog.

Now, just as in our world, the Moon in Middle Earth has a reputation for waywardness and unreliability. Because, get this, apparently Tilion falls in love with Arien: "But Tilion was wayward and uncertain in speed, and held not to his appointed path; and he sought to come near to Arien, being drawn by her splendour, though the flame of Arien scorched him, and the island of the Moon was darkened."

And I just. Here's Tolkien, standing up in the face of centuries of unveiled misogynistic symbolism and saying, "oh, we've got two celestial entities, one of which is powerful and bold and glorious, and the other famous for being kind of lame in comparison? SOUNDS TO ME LIKE A SWAGLESS LOVER BOY ABANDONING HIS DUTIES TO WORSHIP HIS GODDESS. I MEAN OBVIOUSLY. WHAT ELSE COULD THE EXPLANATION BE"
