In the version I know the woman is the daughter of slaves, black, American, and lives alone in a small house outside of town. Her reputation for wisdom is without peer and without question. Among her people she is both the law and its transgression.

In Joseph Campbell’s video regarding mythology, He states “We are so against the dynamic of life in our tradition that we’ve turned it into the devil”. Joseph brings our focus to the snake and explains how this animal is an example of dynamic life by shedding its skin and being born again.

She callously asks for her womanliness to be sacrificed so that she will be able to carry out her murderous intentions:

and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman?"(Truth) Truth’s stamens recognizes women's

In Judith Slaying Holofernes the woman represented in a yellow costly garment is no other than Judith a Jewish widow. Despite her beauty for deceiving men, she is very brutal in revenge. By easily gaining her way through the Assyrians she gracefully grabs the attention of the General Holofernes, and then kills him by slicing through his neck with his own sword. She is then the heroine figure for Bethulia, Jerusalem, the Temple, and the people (Judith 8:11–12).

Swedish Ivy (Plectranthus australis) is an extremely popular trailing houseplant in Sweden, but is actually a native of Australia. The name may be a little misleading because the plant has long cascading stems like a regular ivy plant; however, it is a member of the mint family. Its beautiful round, glossy green leaves are scalloped and the stems are square. This stunning houseplant will certainly add interest and livliness indoors.
