Overcoming the love of money

GOD and mammon is right! Too onesided. Enter Robert Graves with Mammon and the Black Goddess to balance the books. With the Divine Marriage (beyond mere mortal, only human) of White God and Black Goddess, the love of money, the root of all evil, ceases. Theory or Religio (correct spelling)? You be the judge.

Rockefeller in 1935 or so, and asked for money to get their book published. The millionaire's reply after considerable thought? "Money would ruin what you have going here." Did AA fail consequently? Ha!
