A brilliantly put together and very thought provoking observation! I felt a shift in my consciousness reading what you realised and made real for me, too!!
I know that the name Remus, like a mirror, reflects the name Sumer and Lati, Ital... and Roma/Amor city of Love....like many other 'bostrophaedoned' names pour forth their secrets to us by inverting them. This further reflection that yiu have shared adds additional depth to the realisation of what "twins" are all about.
A sacred 'birth-right', the acknowledging of the hidden one who fed and nurtured the fetus inside the mother, has been ignored by the modern West. Placentas are thrown away and not ever thought about again.
Living in Africa for over 60 years, I had heard of the tribes burying placentas under a newly planted tree that eventually the 'other one' would join in death to be buried alongside... both would then nourish the tree as it grew to full size! I had read that Native American Indigenous women of certain tribes eat the placenta for strength after giving birth. You have shown me so much more! Thank you! Big appreciation.
Thank you for that insight about Remus and Sumer. There is another phoenetic easter egg found in the word Isis, which simply means the is before naming, it simply ‘is is.’ The perfect reflection of Isis is the ‘Is or Is’ (Osiris). Here Osiris and Set act as another pair of brothers that represent awareness’s perfect reflection(Osiris), and the projected imagination which overtakes it (Set). Consider subscribing to Geomytha if this resonates.
To be Isis you have to be authentically you! To be aware takes walks, long walks, without a camera or a phone near you.
O - si - R - is... the reflector! And the reflection on what is observed, what is activated in consciousness, what can be gleaned. This OR that... to be trapped or real. Lear or real?
Set is the Sun! He can burn you out! He is Hades and he was the hated one. You must choose if you want to worship the Sun or another one? Or none?
The Aton came and eyes turned to the winged disc... the one who beguiled and won... who captured the Sun and much more. Horus of the Horizon, you bugger! Was he the comet-like serpent, the garden snake who coiled the tree of life and showed off the other tree? Did he hold up high the cadu.seus tree... the Iseus, the Zeus, the 'gardener' Assar, Jove, Jehovah, who claimed paradise as his? Who was this George and who is the Dragon, the snake of old born of Pyrene? What did he reflect? What did he reject? The cleaver who cleaves, the weaver who weaves?
Thank you, Geomytha! I have discovered much about our solar system hidden within names and the myths of old. We have a dualistic energy pattern echoing here that causes much havoc because of the many cataclysms that the ancients discussed in their descriptions of physical events. I will subscribe to your website.
See you are on Instagram and have youtube videos. I have been researching underlying energy patterns connected to Asclepius - 'The Healer who Destroys; The Destroyer who Heals.' Asclepius means 'mistletoe' - he was the God of Healing, yet he was known as an acursed being! This is a mystery I have been unlocking after a "Janus Moment" in January last year. I am writing a book about this called, 'The Cleaver who Weaves', about the paradoxical world we live in and why this is. Isis, Osiris, Set and Horis are featured in the weft of my word loom weaving! They are all very much connected to Asclepius!
Love this! Great connections symbolically. It reminded me of the Greek myth about soulmates once being a whole then split by Zeus as punishment to forever be searching for their missing half
Substack is brilliant at bringing excellent pieces of writing like this to my attention exactly when I need it. In astrology, I have the Sun and Venus in Gemini, both in the 12th house of dreams and the subconscious. As I’ve been returning to a love for creative journaling, I started wondering if these placements indicate a spirit twin that lives in the realm of dreams, my other half who stayed within the veil as I crossed into the waking world at birth. I think of her as a muse of sorts. Sometimes I feel like I remembered her into being more than creating her from my imagination. The mythos of this concept is beautifully and comfortingly validated by the myths presented in this article.
Love this! Such rich material! On a slightly different but possibly related note, made me think of “The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind” by Julian Jaynes.
as a twin mom i absolutely love this w the entirety of my heart and i oddly enough just wrote a piece about placentas and the spiritual connection i felt w both of mine/my children’s this resonated w me more than you know fantastic writing thank u for sharing!!!!!
I’d love to accept this, it would help me, but I delved into vanishing twin syndrome after trying to work out why I had a double crown and a feeling of loss from a early as I can remember.
“The daoist believe that a double crown is created at conception - when two souls got moulded into one, as though you are one of a twin.“
Excellent! Marie’s work provides unrivaled keys to understanding the underlying framework of animistic belief that has been buried and obscured for too long. A true gift she has given the world! I’ve long been astounded and inspired by these symbols and their significance and am planning some written work stemming from hers myself. I’ll be sure to share it with you when finished in hopes for your take.
Yes! I always thought about Elvis’s twin. If he had lived, he would have been the older brother. Elvis became known as “the King.” If his had been a royal/dynastic birth think of the implications for the history of that family. I always wondered about the psychological effect that had on Elvis.
I am a biological twin (sister) and we are Geminis. This twin be twinning. I have a lot to say on the subject. And I deeply appreciate the Mythic to mention that you were bringing in because I have always felt that my interest in these deeper stories of soul and meth are connected to being a twin. Which is why I get really annoyed whenever anyone asked me if I am identical or fraternal. I have zero patience for that question anymore as I approach my 40s. I simply won’t answer it partially because I don’t know because the hospital throughout the placenta. Apparently, there is some form of third mystical variation, of which I am likely. I only learned that because my twin did a Doula training and learned about it through her teacher.
I have had many profound, spiritual experiences in my life, and the two most significant relate to being in utero with my twin and leaving the room without her. As a Gemini, I hold contradiction and this is so true in my gestation and birth story. Knowing unity/connection with another before birth and being separated from it is a aspect of my inner world that I know I can never fully or want to even reconcile in this lifetime. My twin, and I were a strange for over a decade, and so much of the karmic and genetic imprint of being a twin was healed through our conscious choice of coming back together. I hope to write a book on all of this one day and your essay is a point of inspiration.
as a twin myself i'm surprised to read in your words that we are "rare".
i was once in a sweatlodge ceremony, and as it was my birthday (my twin wasn't there) - i welcomed everyone into what felt like our shared womb "hey we were two last time i did this, but now we're twenty, kinda cool". and then five other people suddenly spoke up of their own lost twins. it feels to me like one of these subjects where as soon as you mention it, it swells and grows way out of proportion to what you'd think initially.
"a fractured multiplicity mistaken for unity" - gorgeous phrasing. i see everywhere twins represented as a two-for-one copy, a slapped-together echo of the same thing, and wish that a whisker of that truth be more present instead.
Insightful work, thank you. In my system, the brothers represent reflected awareness and projected imagination with the latter being known as the usurper and the first born being the true heir to the blessing, ie Esau and Jacob, Cain and Abel even the tree of life and the tree of knowledge symbolize this. The blessing is consciousness’ reflection, it either reflects awareness or the reflection is hijacked to project imagination, aka false phallus symbolized by the obelisk by the reflecting pool. If any of this resonates consider subscribing to Geomytha.

Love is a balancing energy!

Read it twice. Thanks for sharing 🙏

This really resonated with my Gemini moon! In my latest fiction project, there are several twins in one family. Now I'm understanding why!

I do not see her here on substack.
Please do!
Excellent!
Both Elvis Presley and Philip K. Dick had twins who died. There’s a powerful resonance here to which the placenta can only be secondary,
Yes! I always thought about Elvis’s twin. If he had lived, he would have been the older brother. Elvis became known as “the King.” If his had been a royal/dynastic birth think of the implications for the history of that family. I always wondered about the psychological effect that had on Elvis.
Can you help with your derivation of the (place) name Timnath? My understanding is it’s from the imperative of count/portion in Hebrew
