While Resurrecting Cybele is a book that takes a strong look at the dangers of cult worship, it also has time to project other emotions.
It's becomes clear to the Reader though not to Cybele that Janus sees a financial benefit to heading a cult as well as a lot of gullible people that he can use to do his bidding. He works at a soup kitchen but sees it's residents as vermin particularly four dumb guys who serve as Janus’ lackeys that do whatever he forces them to like playing pranks on an ex boyfriend. Besides the fact that Janus has one of those names to run away from really fast because he is named after the Roman two-faced god, Janus is also a psychiatric counselor who could probably use some counseling himself. Mohammad cleverly brings out the contrast in the two leaders and their intentions towards the cult and their followers. Which is the opposite of the intentions in Janus her associate. Like those who began religions before her, Cybele sees a need and aspires to fill it. She also leads courses that are variations of yoga which will lead followers to communicate and meditate to the Goddess. She sells New Age trinkets like crystals, herbs, and amulets that she hopes will empower every recruit. Mohammed wrote a memorable deeply flawed protagonist. The cult is created to worship the Phrygian nature and Mother Goddess, Cybele and pull the world out of its patriarchal destruction or at least that's Cybele's intention. Jennifer Mohammed's insightful novel, Resurrecting Cybele, is a thought provoking look at the dangers cult produce from their Genesis to their Revelation.Ĭybele Moondragon and her best friend, Janus Styx are bored with preparing their master's theses, concerned about the state of the world heading towards violence and prejudice, and short of money so they do what any bright idealistic cash poor young adult would do in such circumstances: create their own culture of goddess worshipers. The weak willed followers under them become susceptible to filling out their most dangerous violent and sexual urges and then the trouble really begins. The members and leaders get caught up in the delusion that they have a direct pipeline to God and discover the road to Hell (or their version) is paved with said intentions. They may start with good intentions to heal the world and teach others. They are mesmerizing, seductive, and incredibly violent.
Spoilers: From Charles Manson's Family to Nixivm, cults are a scary fascinating bunch.
