Tales from the Old New Land - Century 2 - Generation 1

Generation 1:

And there went down a mist from their eyes, and watered the whole soul of their faces. 

And men did form their new god from the dust of the ground, and breathed into their nostrils the breath of life, and their god did become a living soul. 

And this lord god commanded men to plant their garden in the new earth, east and west and north and south, and there they put the men whom their God had formed, who in turn was formed by men. 

And out of the ground made men to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, trees of life in the midst of the garden, and trees of knowledge of good and evil. 

And fresh rivers went out of earth to water the gardens; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 

The name of the first head is Europe: that is which compasseth the whole land of the north, where there is God and gold,

And that land hoards both well: there is bedazzlement and hearts of onyx. 

And the name of the second river is Africa, the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Egypt to Ethiopia and well beyond. 

And the name of the third is Asia; that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth region is Eurasia, which goeth from the Tigris and Euphrates to Europe. 

And the lord god took the man who invented him, and put man into the gardens of earth to dress it and to keep it. 

And the lord god commanded man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat, for I wast made to bless thee in thy consumption. 

And man did answer: But of the trees of knowledge of good and evil, every day we eatest thereof, and we shall surely die. We do not believe that thou, our god, shall make us immortal. 

And the lord god which man created said, it is not good that man should abide existence alone, I will make myself half-woman to helpmeet his belief in rebirth. 

And the half-woman god did help man to bear the burden in every beast of the field, and every fowl of air, and brought them unto men. And men did determine what they shall be called, and whatsoever men called every living creature was their name thereof, 

But belief in rebirth did make men heedless of death, and men did give other men names akin to all cattle, and did treat other men like every beast of the field, and mock them like the fowl of the air, and for such cattle-trodden men there was no helpmeet. 

And man did cause in god despair, and a deep sleep to fall upon god, and they slept, and man took one of god's ribs, and closed up the flesh thereof. 

And the rib, which Man had taken from Lord God, made God all Man, and brought God unto Men.  

And Men said, God is now bones of my bones, and flesh of my flesh, God shall be called Man, because He was taken from women. 

Therefore God shall abandon our mothers and daughters, who shall cleave unto their husbands, and we and God shall be as one flesh.  

And the nature of Man and His God stood naked, and They were not ashamed.
