Pillow Pants Demystified. Misconfiguration of an common antiquated disposition towards feminine divinity intertwined the conceptual foreground of the modern word devil. Ancient theocratic behavior commonly practiced a fearful worship of female deities. The concept of devil instigates a repression of feminine nature concocted from two interrelated but separate reasons. Phonetically devil relates to older words for respected and venerated feminine divinities. Portions of the Devils characteristics that interrelate with femininity extracts from a very alarming, ancient and superstitious understanding of female physiological functioning. Devil developed from the Sanskrit Devi, the Greek dia, and the Latin dea which all signify the divine feminine principle. Etymology will generally display devil as historically deriving from diablo whereas devi more directly relates phonetically to devil, and dia more directly phonetically relates to diablo. Current typical usages of devil do not necessarily require a genetic etymological origin considering words can often change overtime. However, unpacking the primitive understanding of feminine nature as illustrated during ritual customs among several tribal cultures gives insight into how the modern perception of the Devil heavily interrelates with a strange ancient interpretation of female physiological functioning. The negative relation between the modern word devil and the actual physical woman relates to a crucial ancient religious detail that the divine feminine was once feared. Religious peoples of the past did not always consider it necessary to directly worship the deities that represented the principle of good because those entities were incapable of doing anything terrible to humanity. Deities that represented the evil principle were constantly venerated through sacrifice for protection of the observant from any future harm. Consider a tribe that conducted sacrificial offerings to a volcanic god in hope that in practice, the ceremonies guaranteed that the volcano itself would not erupt. This type of ritualistic behavior directly relates with femininity through an archaic and superstitious belief in how female menstruation functions. During the puberty rites of several primitive tribes customs required the initiates to purge blood from purposely inflicted wounds. Initiates received an explanation that the blood purged originated from their mothers breast milk they consumed as a child. Extraction of the blood was mandatory to guarantee the safe introduction of the initiates into hunting expeditions and future ritual ceremonies. Woman excluded from certain sacred areas during their menstruation period is another customary primitive tradition which still exists today in some religious practices. These strange customs extenuate from a superstitious belief that women literally internally reside flesh consuming devils which cause phlebotomy and cantankerous behavior during the menstrual cycle. Ritual bloodletting aimed to extract the demonic mother blood from the male tribal initiates. Excerpt, Edward Matthews, 2015.
