The Remembering

The Remembering: A Myth for Our Time

In the Aurelian Empire, towers of glass and gold rise in every city. Screens glow in every home. The Speakers send their voices out day and night, and the message never changes: You are under attack. The enemy is everywhere. Only we can protect you.

Something ancient and hungry has awakened - an egregore, a thought-form fed by fear, outrage, and the endless scroll of collective attention. It wears the face of a hollow man called the Host. It binds the Faithful with belonging and permission. It feeds on those who fight it as readily as those who worship it.

But in kitchens and forest clearings, in the margins where the algorithms cannot reach, something else is stirring. Women are remembering names that were buried for millennia. They are calling powers older than the empire, older than its lies, nine faces of the divine feminine, each carrying a different medicine: truth, sovereignty, consequence, transformation.

The Remembering is a mythic allegory for our fractured age. It asks what happens when resistance itself becomes food for the monster. It explores the poisoned bargains of gender under empire, the corruption of faith into weapon, and the radical act of turning away from what consumes us to build something worth living for.

Part warning, part invocation, part love letter to everyone who has felt the wrongness and wondered if another world was possible.

It is.
