The Meaning: Tao of Lucy, simply put, is the way of the mother (or woman). It is the unbridled affection for the creative spirit. The Tao of Lucy is a connection to nature, a respect for nurturing life and love on Earth.
The Origin: Before recorded time and the knowledge of the collective memories of the Tao of Lucy, there was Lucy herself. Lucy, the mother of creation and architect of this world, has existed for eons upon eons. She was ape-like in appearance and was said to have possessed a soft, almost imperceptible, glowing aura around her at all times. Her designs are ever present in the natural world around us and the flora and fauna that inhabit the myriad environments. Even the landscapes themselves were shaped and molded through time at her will. Lucy possessed many great, seemingly magical abilities through her connection to the Earth and its power, known as the Bogan. Able to imagine and re-imagine the planet and its denizens to her desire for several billion years. Not much is known of much of this time. Known in the science world as Australopithecus afarensis, we’re not sure exactly how long she lived, but her death occurred roughly 3.2 billion years ago.
The Progeny: While Lucy seemed timeless, immortal even, she eventually began to enter her twilight years. It was in this time that she gave birth to twin sons, Saturn and Sunday. Identical in every way physically, but for a prominent set of dragon-like horns that sprouted from the crown Sunday’s skull. Over millions of generations, the boys grew and flourished in their connection to the Earth. The Bogan was strong in them! They found clever use for their skills and quickly discovered they could inhabit the minds and bodies of the creatures that roamed the planet. Both were a menace in their younger years with frequent scuffles and cruel pranking.
For Lucy, the twins were to become the custodians of Earth and secure its survival. They would be its protectors, guarding and guiding life on this planet against local and outside threats. Also ape-like in appearance, but much larger than their mother, they were god-like in their enormous majesty. As Lucy passed away and was reclaimed by the soil of her home, Saturn and Sunday inherited their charge, each serving in their own way.
Saturn was full of life and curiosity. He was quick to love and even quicker to lust. He believed Earth would be better served if the Bogan were accessible to the more sentient of Lucy’s creations. Saturn spread his seed to many kinds of great beasts and odd creatures. Through the Bogan he was able to effectively start the chain of genetic memories from his bloodline. Those sired by Saturn also possessed strong abilities and a vast array of attributes. His lineage grew and soon the world was populated with all manner of beings, some of which are still the source of many myths and legends. He bred with humans and Mune on occasion, for he so loved them more than most, producing some wild and often unexpected results. But all were Saturn’s children and he had a special affinity and love for them.
Sunday on the other hand was shrewd and calculated. He was prone to a quick temper and even quicker wrath. He came to believe Earth would be better served if the Bogan were limited to him and his brother alone. Sunday bore no offspring and never would. He commanded authority with the world’s tenants, managing the Mune resource contract established by Lucy and keeping his brother’s endless brood from tampering with his mother’s designs. Eventually his patience for their antics would wear thin.
