Thank you for the kind thoughts! I'm certainly enjoying myself
exploring for everything I can find about henna. It's spread out into
facinating subjects, like what it was like being a sex worker in other
places and times, what it was like living in a harem, how a wife coped
with arranged marriages and co-wives, infibulation, dance, music, the
evil eye, old religions ..... because henna is intrinsically part of
a woman's sexuality, and that exists within the history of societies,
wars, conquests and religions...... searching for henna has taken me
into things I never would have looked at otherwise.
I've got a pile of Songs of Bilitis saved, if you want more, email me.
..... There's some, but not a lot of henna so it would be a lengthy
and off topic post. It's also a tad racy for a family forum. However,
if you want a look at a hennaed courtesan's life in 600 BCE Cyprus,
and you want to see from the inside the old religion (nothing like
"old time religion"!) that supported women's prolific, joyous sex ,
that had henna as a part of it's trappings.....email me! Assure me
that you're 18 when you request this.
