DEITY APPRECIATION: APHRODITE AND VENUS
“If all girls were taught to love each other fiercely instead of how to compete with each other, and hate their own bodies, what a different and beautiful world we would live in.”
-Nikkita Gill -Great Goddesses: Life Lessons from Myths and Monsters
DEITY APPRECIATION: BRIGID
“The dandelion lights its spark, Lest Brigid find the wayside dark. And Brother Wind comes rollicking, For joy that she has brought the spring. Young lambs and little furry folk, Seek shelter underneath her cloak.”
-W.M.Letts
DEITY APPRECIATION: CAILLEACH
“And if perchance, some winters night, she catches you in her hag dark eyes, you will fall into the depths of her belonging…”
- Cailleach III by Sioban Mac Mahon
DEITY APPRECIATION: KRAMPUS
“Away in the distance the wind starts to blow, Like the strings of a harp being touched with a bow; It starts soft then grows louder; it wails, moans and hums; Its voice is a herald; it tells them he comes.”
- Krampusnacht by Ann Hart
DEITY APPRECIATION: CIRCE
“A few tears upset me? My friend,
Every sorceress is
A pragmatist at heart; nobody sees essence who can't
Face limitation. If I wanted only to hold you
I could hold you prisoner.”
- Louise Gluck
