A creation story of a universe called Aeven. Queens, mothers and supremes all living in harmony for now
The Heavens…
In the beginning, there was nothing. All was empty, devoid, and barren.
And then there was The Supreme…
The Supreme came out of nothing, becoming something, all at its own accord.
It birthed itself and wandered within the nothingness.
As the Supreme had come from nothing becoming something, it so wished for the nothingness around it to also become something.
It was its will, so its will was done.
Thus, just as The Supreme had birthed itself, so too did it birth… The Universe.
All the stars, planets, galaxies and multiverses came fourth into fruition straight from The Supreme’s womb, the arbiter of life.
It is within this grand something that The Supreme created Aeven.
In Aeven the supreme sat upon its throne, becoming caretaker to the universe as a mother would be caretaker to her children, her creation.
Thus, The Supreme would be known to us as Mother Supreme.
The Throne
Within Aeven, Mother Supreme sat upon her throne, tending to the infinite expanses of the grand something, the universe.
Aeven was to be her Queendom, the center of her glory, and she ruled it as the Queen of Queens, Princess of Princesses and Spirit of Spirits.
As Queen she was the Mother Supreme
As Princess she was the Daughter Supreme
And as Spirit she was the Femme Supreme
She was all ofall these simultaneously and independently, one in the same, the same in each, a trinity of paradox above all understanding.
Yet it was her will, so her will was done.
To aid her throne in tendingintending to the universe, Mother Supreme also created her own servants, stewards and wardens who would execute her will across all the corners of the grand something.
They would be known to us as the White Ravens, not only for their majestic wings that shimmered like snow, but also because they were as pure and righteous as a white dove, but they would pursue the Supreme Mother’s will with as much zeal, cunning and devotion as a black raven.
Among the White Ravens, Arch Ravens were appointed to lead, and one in particular rose to the highest of the Supreme Mother’s favors.
Her devotion, piety, cunning, wit and beauty ensnared the throne, especially her sweet melodies of praise.
She would be known to us as Lucy, and for her great servitude, Mother Supreme declared her the 1st Arch Raven, leader of all White Ravens.
Together, the Queendom of Aeven tended over the vastness of the universe, ruled by the Supreme Mother in all her Supreme forms as she sat upon three thrones, her 1st Arch Raven standing beside her in guard, whispering sweet melodies into her ear.
Yet Lucy’s ambition was far greater than even the grand universe itself…
And the Earth…
One day, the Supremes spoke amongst each other and the Mother Supreme declared to them all, “Let us make humankind in our own image, and grant them the earth, upon which they can tend to, like we tend upon the universe.” The Supremes agreed to this idea.
It was the Supreme Mother’s will, thus her will was done.
And so, the earth was created as the Mother Supreme created the sky and the sea, she created the mountains and the valleys, the animals and the trees. She created any and all life and so much more, so much more that you would not believe me if I told you…
She bore them all in her womb, giving birth to a garden of life upon which humankind wandered in all its multitudes.
Like the Supremes, humankind was diverse in its forms, coming in all shapes and sizes, colors and hues, desires and lusts and so much more, so much more that some of you still don’t believe me when I tell you…
The Garden
All lived in peace and harmony, in Aeven, earth and the universe.
Yet there was more to life than life, there was also death.
There was more to good than good, there was also evil.
The Supreme Mother kept evil and death from humankind as all lived eternally and blissfully.
Yet knowledge of good and evil, knowledge of life and death was stored in a tree planted in the Garden of Herdenia.
In those days the Supremes lived alongside their creation, wandering across the earth alongside the animals and humankind.
The barriers between Aeven, Earth and the universe were weak, and all was permitted.
It was an age of pleasure, an age of innocence, and in Herdenia, the Supreme Mother planted another throne, her Queendom come on earth as it was in Aeven.
So too did her secrets though, her knowledge of all that was good and evil, of life and death shimmering in the shine of an apple.
Her White Ravens communed and romanced with the humans in Herdenia, Lucy, her Arch Raven falling in love with a human, a woman.
The first woman in fact, born out of the Supreme Mother’s womb.
She would be known to us as Lilith.
The Fall, Beginnings
Lilith and Lucy loved one another, their romance spanning millennia, they travelled all the corners of the grand something, leaving no rock unturned. Aeven, Earth and the Universe was their oyster and they sucked all its curiosities and wonders right down to the last drop, including each other.
Their appetites and ambitions were insatiable, and their hunger for life was grand, yet with one another, they got close to satisfaction. The Supremes adored them for this, for they always had some knew trick to pull out whenever they were requested to entertain the throne.
Their favor among humankind was just as high and all would have lived happily ever after in a world where there was only life and goodness, a world that the Mother Supreme had created and intended for us all.
Yet she had created so much more…
Knowledge of good and evil, of life and death lay in the Garden of Herdenia, and Lilith and Lucy’s curiosity burned as bright as that of Pandora in the face of the box.
They needed to know what was inside, what sweet knowledge lay in the apple’s bite.
The Mother Supreme had warned all of the dangers of this fruit, and as her 1st Arch Raven, Lucy knew well of the horror Mother Supreme felt if the fruit’s secrets were unleashed. Lucy knew this to such a degree that she had advised the mother to guard the Tree, volunteering the best of her Ravens to take upon this charge.
Yet the Mother Supreme trusted humankind and though she had bore all life, she did not see herself as its ruler, just like how a mother, despite having birthed the child, does not rule the child like some tyrant.
The mother is a guardian, a caretaker, and thus so was the Mother Supreme.
Like the mother, there would come a time when the child would have to mature, and go out into the world, making their own path. So too would they come a time when the Mother Supreme would have to let loose of her creation, and let it take its own path. She was going to raise it and care for it as best she could, bestowing upon it values of infinite love, joy, communion and camaraderie so that when the time came, life, like the child, could survive.
Both in a world of life and goodness, but also, in a world of evil and death.
Thus, the tree remained unguarded, protected by mere trust as the Mother Supreme advised her creation to avoid it, for its time to be unleashed had not yet come, now was a time of pleasure and innocence… but Lucy and Lilith partook of the forbidden fruit, and thus begun an age of woe and death.
The Fall, Endings
With the knowledge of all that was good and evil, of life and death flowing within them, Lucy and Lilith begun to see Mother Supreme’s creation differently.
What they now saw was an existence that never ended, forever ongoing as death was stifled. They saw a humanity, infantilized, refused from expressing its truest desires as freedom was stifled. It was a childish fairytale devoid of true humanity, for they saw the true face of humanity in all its flaws, and it was beautiful.
For aren’t the flaws what made us human?
They themselves had lived for eternity, and after eating the fruit they couldn’t go on another day, boredom had taken over as there was nothing new under the sun, and ultimately all would be meaningless anyway, for what is good without evil, isn’t it because of evil that we appreciate good, isn’t it because of death that we appreciate life, what was there to appreciate when you had it all, could you truly be good if you were programmed to be good?
And what of the programmer, the goddess, the Supreme who ruled over us all, refusing us our ability to express ourselves fully, was she not a tyrant! Never mind her pleas of “caretaking” when she had herself an eternal Queendom where her will would be done for ever and ever. She may have created all life, but is she not life as well, she is just as beholden to her creation, for life is beyond her, that’s why she was born, for in this story she too had a beginning!
All of our existences has been a lie, but now we have the truth… now they had the truth, and they wanted to unleash it upon us all. As the 1st Arch Raven, Lucy gathered an army of her best, an army of Ravens, and Humans and so much more, followers who believed in the truth, in freedom.
They would be known to us as Black Doves, for though they fought to unleash evil and death akin to what many fear black ravens bring. They did so in the name of liberty and free will, believing humankind was mature enough to choose peace and love for themselves, akin to what many believe a white dove represents, instead of these virtues being imposed upon creation by the Supremes, no matter how righteously they justified themselves.
Thus, Lucy and her lover led the Black Doves in a war against the Mother and her Supremes, The Daughter Supreme leading the White Ravens.
The End and the Beginning
The war for the fate of all life and humankind wrought forth an age of woe and death, bloodshed and guilt as the grand something was tainted for what seemed like forever. Things would never be the same again.
Chaos of unaccountable and incomprehensible levels was unleashed akin to a black hole of impossible magnitude swallowing an entire universe, all of life until then would never be the same, as Lucy and Lilith had opened Pandora’s box unleashing infinite evil and eternal death.
All could and would die.
Yet, nothing ever really died, for Mother Supreme and her forces prevailed.
Good triumphed as the White Ravens bested the Black Doves, banishing them from Aeven as they descended akin to falling angels. Their black wings plummeted to the earth, and some even went beneath it as the Ravens continued to hunt them down.
Now more than ever Aeven and the White Ravens had a great task of keeping as much balance between evil and good as they could, desperate to maintain order within the newly released chaos.
Where there was life, they was now also death, and humankind was liberated with free will, it was now up to them to decide if they would be good or evil.
Yet in the dust of war, the Supreme Mother had also guarded her Queendom upon the earth, one which would stand alongside many other Queendoms and Kingdoms, even Empires in some regions.
She chose to keep her Queendom hidden however, and in this Garden of Herdenia, life and goodness prevailed, as she extended the age of innocence and pleasure. It was a paradise oasis of life and goodness amidst a desert ravaged with evil and death.
This garden would be the Mother Supreme’s comfort place, her guilty pleasure in the face of Lucy’s call for absolute freedom as she wandered within its beauty alongside her new children, the first of them being Adam and Eve.
Yet the tree and its forbidden fruit still stood, and though the Supreme Mother trusted her children, a serpent slithered within her garden, its eyes burning as bright as Lucy’s revolution…
