I’m really not sure why y’all are making this about me and attacking me personally, as this post was not ever meant to be about me, but about polygyny and the FACT that Vladimir has 2 wives, with Anastasia being his second, which is by definition Polygyny. All of you, with the exception of Carla, “responding” (reacting), here are definitely triggered and instead of focusing on the topic at hand have resorted to name-calling, attacking me, my own marriage, and even associating me with a cult-leader and child rapist! Just wow! With Matthew even suggesting that I go join a polygamist cult for simply bringing up this topic and inviting discourse around a prominent theme of the Anastasia and Ringing Cedars books. I am not a polygenist and have never practiced any form of it in my life! However, while knowing that I (and others) have had many lifetimes and lovers on this Earth, I do not believe that wo/man’s heart is so limited as to be only capable of loving one. Ya’ll know absolutely nothing about me or my family and have resorted to false presumptions and sheer disrespect with Fran suggesting that my wife and child leave me saying: “..dishonouring her and your child like that with such half-love” and, “you obviously don’t consider your own family holy or good enough. You know very little about love sadly.” over simply bringing up this topic and the FACT that Vladimir was an ALREADY MARRIED man when he met Anastasia then MARRIED and conceived with her! I am entirely devoted to my wife and love her and our amazing son with all of my heart and soul! Shame on you! Let me tell you all straight and clear: you don’t know what love truly is and evidently have much unhealed trauma and man-hate that you still need to deal with.

Wow, so many false assumptions and pure hatred coming from an alleged community that I thought would have more love and understanding than hatred. I guess polygyny is considered evil by y’all, except when Vladimir and Anastasia practice it. It’s an interesting topic to me because so many of the world’s greatest men, tribes, and biblical figures, such as Abraham, an ascendant of Anastasia, practiced it. There is even evidence that the true historical Jesus had two wives. (see the books and videos by Ralph Ellis on the King of Edessa). The writer of the Anastasia/Ringing Cedars books, Vladimir Megre, is indeed married to two women, but it appears that y’all get too easily triggered by this fact to have a cordial discussion on it and immediately resort to name calling, hatred, unwarranted contempt, and erroneous presumptions instead of engaging in a cordial conversation regarding this controversial topic.

I appreciate and honor the genetic disposition that Nature, Nature’s God, and my ascendants have gifted to me in the form of my DNA and physical characteristics known as race. Does not Anastasia speak on retaining pure genes or half-breeds at some point in the series? I’ll have to look into that further so I can give an exact quote. I am definitely not attempting to use the books to justify mere fantasies. It is clearly a theme in the books that Vladimir is a married man when he encounters Anastasia and conceives children with her. Anastasia neither condones nor condemns the practice of polygyny in the books, though she herself married and conceived children with an already married man, which is by definition polygyny. This in turn did eventually strengthen the bond and relationship that Vladimir had with his first wife, who he remains with, whether considered legitimate or not. Anastasia emphasizes purity and intention over carnal pleasures, not strict monogamy. But if I am wrong, please correct me while citing your source. With no possession and seeking of pleasure involved, would you also consider a loving man co-creating with pure intentions with more than one wife as a sin or “sick fantasy”?

Matthew, do you care to elaborate on what you strongly disagree with and why?

I’ve been vegetarian since 2011 and have no intention of going back to the consumption of flesh. Upon inspection of the alimentary canal and teeth of the human being it is clear that we are designed to be a frugivorous species. This is even written in scripture in Genesis 1:29. The book that prompted me to make this change and truly convinced me of our species being designed by our creator to be frugivorous was The Holy Science by Swami Sri Yukteswar
