grgr (21) parthenogenesis

[Lycidas at worldnet.att.net]

Jewish mysticism becomes more and more important as we get
into GR. 

Greta impersonates and represents several mythological &
religious figures (white woman).  She also maps onto other
female characters, including Katje. Note the windmill
silhouettes GR.462

"I doubt she had a father. It was parthenogenesis, she's
pure Marghertia, if pure is the word I want." GR.462


OED 2nd edition

Parthenogenesis:

parthenogenesis pa:rþeno,d3e.nesis. Biol. [f. Gr. parqeno-j
virgin + genesij origin, birth, nativity, genesis. ]
Reproduction without concourse of opposite sexes or union of
sexual elements. Now usually restricted to reproduction by
the development of a ingle sexual cell (as an ovum or ovule)
without fertilization by union with one of the opposite sex
(which occurs, normally or occasionally, in certain insects
and other invertebrates, and in rare instances in plants);
formerly used more widely to include asexual reproduction,
as by fission or budding (cf. agamogenesis). 

Parthenogenesis is the form of procreation attributed to the
Shekinah 

See Encylopedia Britannic: Shekinah, Lilith, Sefirah, Zohar,
Kabbalah. Or try to include Scholem in an internet search.
