#greek goddess

Few years back I did this with my daughter. Now my son is almost 3 and deciphering his gods is fun

Zeus: Zoo

Hera: Hair-raw

Apollon Paw-on

Artemis: Arm-it

Hermes: Er-ease

Hephaestus: Fest-is

Ares: Air-is-ease

Aphrodite: Afro-ight-ease

Hades: Hey-he

Persephone: Deaf-do-knee

Demeter: Da-eat-her

Thanatos: Dan-na-toast

Morpheus: Mor-de-is

look all i’m saying is that if i found a guy with a stable job, a nice house, and a big dog, i, too, would eat the pomegranate seeds

Aphrodite and the golden apple.

Venus by Henry Courtney Selous (1852)

oliviaalexandraamores:

Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” (1484–1486)

“Persephone Goddess of Spring/Queen of the Underworld” Again I went with the classic description of her. I gave her a flower crown that has Narcissus flowers in it since there are associated with her at Hades. Her dress is a little bit fancier than Hestia’s. Since Persephone is a big fluffy girl her dress kind of shows that. I have her holding a pomegranate since that is the most recognizable symbol for her to hold. Her dress will be light blue. Xoxo! Carrie

“Hestia Goddess of Hearth”. I think she looks so cute! I went with the classic description of Hestia, wearing modest clothing and a veil over her head. In an ancient Greek painting of her she’s holding 4 flowers so I have her holding 4 flowers too. They associate Purple Coneflowers with her so that’s what these flowers are. She also has a bowl of fire so I put that on the ground next to her. One of her colors is Lavender so I’m thinking that Pale Lavender would be a good color for her dress. I think it would look really pretty with her being an adorable ginger kitty & the darker purple flowers & the fire reflecting up at her. Xoxo! Carrie

⚡️Greek Gods & Goddesses Cats Commission Rough Sketches! For a really long time now I’ve been painting five Greek Gods/Goddesses Cats on Mount Olympus! Five precious cats as their namesakes… Zeus, Hades, Persephone, Ares & Hestia. This is my biggest & most elaborate painting I’ve ever created so far! It is 18" x24" acrylic on canvas sheet. I have been sharing all of my works in progress pics with my Patreon Patrons & some in a few TikTok videos so far but I’m ready to share this with everyone since it’s getting really close to being finished. Also I can sell prints & gift items of this painting too! :) Thank you again to my client for being soooo Awesome! xoox! I have been beyond thrilled to create this painting! :D Which cat are you most looking forward to seeing completed? Xoxo! Carrie

Fair Athene, assist my plight

Lift my countenance, through your vision, slated pure and grey.

Delight my soul, tethered may it be,

At your side, eternally

this is a list of small devotional acts to honour and bond with athena, greek goddess of wisdom, war, battle strategy, and the arts

» read

» take up sewing, weaving, or knitting

» research something! this is actually a hobby of mine, i’ll randomly research something of interest to me. you can do podcasts (i love the killing of marilyn monroe), youtube videos, books, online articles, through anything.

» stick up for yourself and those you care about

» voice your beliefs

» …learn proper grammar if you haven’t already lmao

» study, if you’re in school, or even if you’re not, learning is a lifelong journey

» exercise! not necessarily for appearance reasons but for your overall physical and mental health

» take a self defense class (especially if you’re female)

» can’t take a self defense class? utilize the internet and research pressure points and other overall safety tips (again, especially if you’re female)

» wake up early

» do chores, even just making your bed can make a huge difference (…i say white writing this from an unmade bed)

» write or read poetry

» use olive oil products

» spend time in bookstores and libraries, even if you’re not reading

» work on your self confidence

» take care of your mental health (i.e. taking pills, resting when needed, etc)

» to add on to the previous point, focus on self care! try to focus on the inside more than the outside, but let’s face it: who doesn’t love a good face mask and bubble bath

» volunteer for leadership positions (if you’re in school, student council, MUN, etc and if you’re at work, offer to supervise or organise an event)

» use crystals like amazonite, sodalite, tourmaline, tiger’s eye, and blue howlite

»  play strategy games

»  watch movies/tv with her! (i associate les mis, sherlock, brooklyn 99, and law and order as things she may like)

Last night the 2nd Round of Qualifiers was posted… And Alexis of Troy made it through to the last round!! I am so proud of this random story that I literally came up with in a couple of hours. The contest isn’t over yet but the fact that I got this far is so amazing ❤️

https://www.wattpad.com/story/257242694-alexis-of-troy-onc2021

I have decided to participate in Wattpad’s Open Novella Contest!! The goal is to write 20,000 words in 13 weeks, using a prompt given from the ONC crew. I am thrilled to introduce the novella I will be working on for this contest: Alexis of Troy! This is a comedic story of a girl thrown into the legend of Troy. Aided by a frustrated goddess, Alexis must find a way back to her world without messing with the timeline. The only problem, she’s caught the attention of one Paris, Prince of Troy!

“I wondered how many of them had wives waiting for them, mothers and daughters perhaps. What would those women think if they could see their menfolk, as they stood guard over us, the weeping, grieving survivors of Troy?”
