A few years ago, a young
American archaeologist, Dr. Judith Spector,
doing field work in the Holy Land,
made an astounding discovery. Buried under a pile of rubble, atop a
small hill, was the entrance to an ancient temple. She carefully began
to clear away the debris, exactingly cataloging it as she worked.
Before
long, she
uncovered an inscription, in the ancient language of the land. As
she
painstakingly deciphered the inscription, her heart began to beat
faster with excitement.
"My gosh! This
temple
is not only dedicated to Asherah, but the inscription identifies her as
the 'Consort and Beloved' of Yahweh. Before this there's been hardly
any archeological evidence that Yahweh ever had a wife, who was
worshipped alongside of Him!"
Judith had done her doctoral
thesis on the Hebrew Goddess. She had
argued that in ancient times, the people had worshipped a divine
couple, Yahweh and Asherah as equals. As time went on, religion became
more male dominated, and Asherah was written out of the official
scriptures; Her role as the co-creator was downgraded and denied.
Eventually
those who still worshipped Her were persecuted as worshippers of idols.
Though forcibly removed from official sources, Asherah's memory was
kept alive in tradition, as the Shekhinah, the feminine presence of God
in the temple, as the Queen of Shabbat, and as the Matronit. Judith
urged that a return to the proper worship of the feminine Asherah
would make the world a better, more righteous place.
Judith was so overcome by
emotion, at finding confirmation for her
beliefs and love of Asherah, that she impulsively began to pray to the
Goddess.
"O Dear Lady please return to
us! Only Your Divine Maternal Presence
can
heal the world's ills!"
Suddenly, from nowhere, there
stood before Judith, a tall, beautiful
woman, who seemed to glow with an inner light of strength and goodness.
So commanding was the womanly
figure's presence, that Judith
instinctively and worshipfully fell to her knees before the apparition.
The Heavenly figure reached out
and put a kindly gentle hand on
Judith's head. "Rise, Daughter!" She said gently and kindly.
In melodious voice, she told
the young archeologist: "I have heard your
prayer, My daughter, and am moved by your goodness and wisdom! In
answer
to your heartfelt prayer, I will make you My right Arm to carry out My
Design! You will soar through the sky like the eagle to seek out
wrongdoers! You shall have the strength of the lioness, guarding her
young, to protect the innocent! Now rise My Messenger!"
The Goddess touched Judith's
shoulder again, and her rough work clothes
disappeared, to be replaced by a gleaming scarlet uniform of
righteousness. Judith felt incredible new strengths in her body and
mind.
With that, the Divine
Apparition disappeared, as swiftly as She had come.
Was it all a dream? Judith glanced down wonderingly, again at the
brilliant red
costume. Was it really true, or a dream? Did she really new possess the
powers the
Goddess promised? Experimentally, the young woman bent, and tugged at a
mammoth stone block. It moved easily at her touch. She lifted! A moment
later, she hoisted the huge granite block, weighing several tons, high
over her
head, as though it were weightless.
"It's true! It's true!" Judith
cried in amazement.
Overwhelmed by the excitement,
of her new abilities, the young
archeologist leaped in the air in exultant joy. Instead of dropping
back
to the earth, she found herself, hovering effortlessly several feet
above
the ground. She extended her arm and flew higher. Higher and higher,
she
flew in joyous circles. Never had she felt so free and alive.
Judith returned to her home in
the United States to carry out the
mission ordained for her by Asherah. Calling herself Divine Justice,
she sought out the evil-doers in the crime ridden City, and swiftly
brought them to justice.
For the next several years,
Divine Justice carried on her celestially
ordained crusade, protecting the innocent and ridding the City
of crime. Only one accomplishment remained elusive. Big Tony, the most
powerful crime boss in Town remained at large. Divine Justice had
disrupted his organization, and made it virtually impotent, yet people
were still reluctant to testify against Big Tony, himself. At last,
Divine Justice secured evidence, that would unquestionably convict even
Big Tony. And it was evidence that Divine Justice could personally
testify to, in court. There would be no question of intimidating
witnesses this time. Big Tony would finally answer for his crimes. It
was with enormous satisfaction, that the beautiful Crimefighter
obtained a warrant, and personally apprehended and carried the crime
boss to the Courthouse for arraignment.
Asherah was well pleased with
her protégée's success.
Divine Justice had done all that the Goddess had asked of her.
Only one voice was raised in
Paradise against Divine Justice's success.
Asherah's jealous handmaiden frequently pointed out that the
superheroine had been given powers that made her invincible.
"She's just a big bully beating
up people too weak to fight back! If
she had to fight an equal, she might well prove a coward! How can You
be sure?"
Unmoved, Asherah patiently
listened to the protests, though they became
a wearisome, ongoing annoyance.
"If she's so wonderful, she
should be tested against some human as
strong as she is, as Your Lord, Yahweh, tested that Job! Then we'd know
if she
was really invincible, or just a muscle bound phony!"
Even Divine patience has
limits. Asherah had heard enough.
"Hummph Silence I will not hear
anymore!" Asherah commanded
imperiously, at mention of Job.
Out of loyalty to Her Husband,
Asherah said no more. The Divine Consort
had
heartily disapproved, and argued vehemently against that sadistic
episode, but Yahweh, in His
wisdom, had overruled Her wishes, and cruelly tested His devoted
servant.
With averted face, that hid a
contemptuous sneer, the handmaiden held
her
tongue before her Divine Mistress's displeasure, but did not let the
matter end there...
Valerie Kramer left the
luxurious condominium, of one of her clients,
counting
her fee carefully.
"Yeah! All there! But you can never trust these
creeps! Always trying to stiff a poor, working girl! And when I catch
one of the
bastards shortchanging me, and beat the shit out of him, it's just
like
givin' him a free bonus! Shit I studied my whole life to become Martial
Arts
Mistress, and the only work I can get, is beating up rich guys who like
to be dominated! Gotta say, I've got a real knack for being a
dominatrix, though! It's kind of fun making some big, strong guy
worship
me! Of course, everybody thinks that makes me some kind of pervert!
That stuck-up bitch, Divine Justice, goes around beating up guys, and
everybody thinks she's so wonderful! Shit! If I had her super powers,
though, I'd use them a little more profitably for old Number One! All
that do-gooder shit is for the birds!"
As Valerie walked down the
lonely, dark street, she was unexpectedly
accosted by a tall, scantly clad woman, who seemed to suddenly appear
in
front of her, as if by magic.
To her credit, there was very
little that the young dominatrix feared.
She stood her ground, looking the woman up and down warily. The woman
had a trim, youthfully athletic figure, but her face, though handsome
and well preserved, had a cynical, worldly aspect that seemed to have
witnessed the evil of all the ages. Valerie had the creepy feeling that
this
woman, or whatever she was,
wasn't of this earth.
"You can call me Lil, Honey;
I'm kind of a witch, is how you'd describe
it! Not
one o'those so-called Wiccan phonies, though, but the REAL thing! Now,
here's the thing! I agree with you, about that Divine Justice babe; I
think a tough, little cookie, like you, could take her apart, an' rub
her nose in the dirt, if you were on equal terms! How'd ya like to have
super powers like her, and give it a whirl? I'll tell ya how t'make a
few bucks for yourself, in the bargain!"
It seemed unbelievable, but
this eerie woman had seemed to know what
Valerie was thinking, and there was something about her arrogant self
assurance that made the world wise, none too trusting girl
believe her, incredible as her proposition sounded.
"Hmm...yeah, I guess if you
could REALLY give me super powers, like
hers, I wouldn't mind taking her on! I think I could take her! What's
in this fer you though?"
"Yer a smart kid! Nobody does
something for nothing, me especially!
Let's just say, if somebody was to take that goody goody twit down a
peg or two, it'd fit in nicely with some little plans I've got on
the burner! Well are ya game or not?"
Impulsively, Valerie made up
her mind. What had she got to lose?
"Yeahh...OKAY! Tell me some more about me making some bread out this
deal though!"
"Heh, heh! You're a girl after
my own heart! We'll get to that! First
though, let's get you some super powers, and get rid a that tacky
outfit! Geez kid you are a fashion disaster!"
"Just my working clothes; my
clients kinda' like it if I dress like a
tramp!" Valerie answered a little self consciously, thinking
"Shit
that outfit of yours ain't no Christian Dior original!"
The woman put a hand on
Valerie's shoulder.
"Poof!"
Valerie's own clothes
disappeared, in a flash, and she found
herself dressed in a tight fitting, black catsuit. She suddenly
felt
incredibly
powerful.
"Okay!" The woman said
inspecting the girl's new outfit, in
satisfaction. "Now here's what yer gonna do...."
The next morning, a slim, dark
clad, masked woman was admitted to Big
Tony's office.
The crime boss was out on bail,
awaiting trial. The chief witness
against him would be Divine Justice. No other witnesses could be found
willing to testify against him. Accusers still had a habit of
disappearing suddenly.
"Who the hell are you, and why
the mask?" Big Tony asked suspiciously.
"Ya can call me Black Lilly,
and the mask is my business! I got a
little proposition for ya, Ton, Honey! How would ya like that Divine
Justice dame to disappear, before yer trial?" The girl answered with
flippant self assurance.
"Hah! How's a little girl like
you gonna arrange that? Nobody's ever
been able to get to that interfering, busybody broad!"
"Nobody before me, maybe! I'm
something else! It'll cost ya big bucks,
though, but ya don't have t'pay a cent until I deliver the goods! How's
that?"
"Sure, Honey! You come back an'
see me then, and we'll talk! Say you
ain't wearing a wire are ya?"
Later that day, Divine Justice
received a telephone call. What sounded
like a half hysterical young girl's voice said. "I-I've...I've got
evidence against Big Tony th-that I think you could use...but you've
got to promise to
protect me! He'd kill me if he finds out!'
"Of course, you'll be
protected!" Divine Justice promised confidently
"Don't worry, Young Lady! That crook is all washed up, but I'll give
you my personal guarantee to protect you!"
"Oh, I'm so relieved!" The girl
answered! "Can you meet me this evening, outside of town?"
"Yes of course tell me
where?"...
At the appointed time, as dusk approached, Divine Justice soared into the sky
and flew to the
deserted field the girl had described.
Divine Justice quickly reached
the field, and spied a girlish figure
standing alone. As she flew down to land, she saw the girl's mask,
and
concluded there was something funny about the situation. Of course, the
invincible superheroine had nothing to fear from a tiny girl, masked
or not. It would certainly be a good idea to investigate, though. The
crimefighter dropped lightly down
beside the girl to find out more.
Before Divine Justice could
question her, the masked young woman had
the temerity to actually threaten her.
The crimson crusader gasped in
astonishment. This poor, deluded creature
must be suffering from some sort of mental problems.
Divine Justice was about to
tactfully suggest that she take the girl to
a psychiatrist acquaintance, who had been helpful before, when the girl
suddenly lashed out. Karate stiffened fingers penetrated
the superheroine's normally invulnerable flesh, like a knife. Divine
Justice gasped, feeling nauseous at the unexpected pain, that filled
her
middle.
What was going on here? Divine
Justice resolved to get to the bottom of
this mystery. "If she can hit that hard, I guess I don't have to worry
about hurting her!" The crimson crusader, thought as she prepared for
battle. Perhaps, in righteous indignation, she would not be sorry to
show this little snip a thing or two.
The crimson crusader discovered
that showing this girl a 'thing
or two,' might be more difficult then she'd imagined. When Divine
Justice swung her mighty fist, the girl with the mask adroitly dodged
the blow. The impudent girl even had time for an insult as she ducked.
Divine Justice swung again
harder, with the same unsatisfactory result.
The missed blow, left Divine
Justice, awkwardly off balance, and the
girl swiftly retaliated with a deadly knee lift that didn't miss, but
landed right on target.
The devilish girl followed up
instantly, with another of her deadly
karate stabs. This time, she mercilessly aimed lower, driving her
steely
fingers into the most vulnerable spot in Divine Justice's body.
Doubled over in agony, Divine
Justice was wide open for a karate
chop that felt like it nearly snapped her neck.
The girl swiftly drove her
deadly fingers into the crimson crusader's
throat.
Black Lilly gave Divine Justice
no chance to recover from the damaging
blows to her throat,
but
followed up with a series of savage karate kicks.
The final kick to the small of
her back, dropped Divine Justice to her
knees, groaning in agony.
Black Lilly paused a moment,
while the moaning crimson crusader began
clumsily to stumble to her feet.
