― An Omelette and a Glass of Wine
― An Omelette and a Glass of Wine
“The Psomi Mistresses are the keepers of an agrarian cult. These old ways have their roots in ancient Eleusis and Greece. In the myth of Ceres and Persephone. In the novel, Tales of the Mistress, this myth is told in reverse, where Eleone aka Persephone is looking for her mother, Maman Antaia aka Ceres.
***
The Psomi Mistresses represent the source of feminine energy, but not all the Mistresses are women.
And so, in Tales of the Mistress, the Bread of Dreams are part of what's called the pharmakon – an ancient Greek word meaning potion or elixir. And The Psomi are the protectors of not only the Bread of Dreams but also the protectors of their agrarian centered way of life. And death.”
― Tales of the Mistress, A Novel
