Many to know that Warriors held the Lion in high esteem in order to empower their Martial prowess, but those peoples who lived near prides of Lions knew that it wasn’t the ‘Y’ Chromosome Male Lion of mane whom was the fiercest but that of the ‘X’ Chromosome of ‘Crossed-Swords’ LIONESS who was Feared the most of all. It was the Lioness who orchestrated the hunt hunting in packs & she the stronger while her Male counterpart often lay under a tree. Warriors who lived near to Lions often called them selves the ‘Sons of the Lioness’ while to go off Hunting or to War for their females whom had hunted down the strongest among them.


The human Female is a consummate Predator whom Stalks down those Males who can provide all her material benefits from that of one time Mammoth meat to that of taking her to a fancy Restaurant within ones flashy gas guzzling Car, which of course the Male has to fight for in order to obtain, which invariably leads to all out War. Males seek power & Influence in order to impress the Females in order to then spread their Genes, just ask Chinngis Khan, he will inform one via his many progeny.



Women often speak of Love but it is in fact that of a blind masking their Genetic Imperative of a Sekhmet Lioness ridden by an Ishtar whom not only represents Sex but also War.


'Adversity is the 'Mother' of all Invention', one merely has to look back at Two-World-Wars to see such clearly, which Birthed ones Modern world of technological wonders & horrors from that of a Mushroom cloud of Dragon ridden by a Whore of Babylon arising over white sands to hit Hiroshima & Nagasaki whose power now supplies many a city, or that of Microwave weapons leading to Microwave ovens, which are the beloved tools of the Lioness cooking grub for ones own progeny; one then to snore under a tree to thence realise that it be the Lioness who is the driving force behind Evolution whose ‘Crossed-Swords’ represent Sex & War for behind every Great Man there be a Woman whom be his Isis throne of Shakti; without his Lioness he be no God at all hence losing his mane.


Should a woman say otherwise to blame Man for Wars of mass slaughter & endless Conflict she only to say so in order to get the Male to Fight over her through Words, for the Pen be mightier than the Sword so they Say, whence to find that the Lioness does love to argue of Sword tongue & the reason why Males have such short life-spans while the Females live on longer perpetually Warring wielding their ‘Crossed-Swords!’
