The Earth Mother Manifesto

The source presents an excerpt from "The Earth Mother Manifesto," authored by Greg Twemlow, which argues that modern civilisation is founded on a catastrophic "Great Forgetting" of the truth that nature is divine. Twemlow asserts that humans are literally the children of the "Earth Mother" and that current practices amount to "matricide," driven by a philosophical ideology he terms "selfish-ism." This destructive path was cemented through a three-part historical pivot: legally, by the Enclosure Acts which defined land as property; religiously, by abstract gods that made extraction holy; and philosophically, by the Enlightenment which reduced nature to a mere mechanism. Ultimately, the manifesto calls for a foundational recognition of the Earth Mother as sacred, claiming that modern practices of accumulation and consumption constitute a "false worship" that is leading to civilisational suicide.
