Luttra Woman “Hallonflickan” Västra Götalands län, Sweden, 3105-2935 BCE, found in 1943. Because there were very many raspberry seeds found around the stomach area, the body was dubbed “Hallonflickan” (meaning “Raspberry Girl” in English). She was 20–25 years old when she had died. The cause of the her death remains a mystery, however, a flint arrowhead was found near to where the body was discovered three years before. She was buried in open water, due to the evidence of aquatic snails. The soft tissues of the body had not survived, resulting in skeletonization.

Two maxims of Tantra: “One must rise by that by which one falls. The very poison that kills becomes the elixir of life when used by the wise.”
"Just as all colors disappear in Black, so all names and forms disappear in Her."
