i just saw a fb post where a man was arguing with a woman about the best way to make macarons and he kept insisting that she was wrong, and then eventually he was like “I’ve never personally made macarons, but if you think about it what I’m saying makes sense, i’m simply stating the obvious. i’m sure there are plenty of youtube tutorials that would show you the same thing.” and the woman replied by linking him to her instagram business page and she makes fuckin macaron towers for parties for a living and i’ve been laughing about it for a solid 5 minutes.
me, writing, throwing commas around like i’ve just won the lottery and i’m exulting in my winnings, needlessly, passionately, with no thought to the consequences,
“My darlings, fear not the fire of change. Let it burn away the old to bring growth. It hurts, but it is necessary for new life.”
Aphrodite says:
“Dear ones, dance when you realize your self worth is in your own hands and rooted in your feet.”
Hecate says:
“Witches, do not fear the unknown. For today was the future only a moment ago.”
Artemis says:
“Hunt for who you are, in the deepest parts of your ribs. This is holy.”
Hera says:
“Children, make mistakes and come to terms with them. Learning comes with sacrifice.”
Persephone says:
“choice is a fickle thing and many will attempt to rewrite your story. Be who you are, choose yourself. Change only when the growth is good for you.”
Hestia says:
“Babies, may you light your hearth where your chosen family lies, and do not believe the falsehood that you are trapped by blood.”
I didn’t know (And don’t think) that goddesses were this dull and boring and tamed.
Thanks for calling my art dull and how I understand my gods boring 💗 Luckily for me you are 1 person amount thousands, and while you are entitled to your opinion, I don’t have to really care, except to point out that you are rude to tell a worshipper and artist that their work is boring.
I think its sweet and very comforting. Yes the gods have a good time and be wild but they are also gentle and caring. I think we should all be open to others experiences and journeys. Not boring at all dear.
Thank you for your kind words. Gods are just a dual acting as humans, if not more. 2 years ago, when I wrote this, was the one of the first times I was connecting to the gods in a way similar to what I do now. I couldn’t stop writing! I needed to put the words that helped me into the world, words that were shared with me from my goddesses, and show them to others. I was excited! They were devotional.

Perhaps I was a little blunt, I apologize for that. I do have a hard time picturing the goddesses saying “babies”. For me, religion, shouldn’t be tamed and shallowed. It’s people’s faiths, it’s people’s history, not a self-help book. While I understand that this is just a poetic work inspired by the goddesses on your part, looking at some of the comments I realize not a lot of people see it that way and are taking it as some sort of cannon. Some clarification on that part would be appreciated it. And on the other hand, maybe it was rude of me to say it in such a way, but if you’re an artist , you are open to receive criticism and submit your work to scrutiny (you’re putting it on the Internet) if you want to just receive compliments then write it down on your journal and just show it to your friends. Art is always subjected to criticism.
Of course, but on the other hand you didn’t have to tell me you didn’t like it when I didn’t ask. It does come off as rude, especially when crisitism, when constructive, is helpful, positive, and gives the person things to specifically inprove. What was said by you, on the other hand, was not any of those things.
You could have just scrolled down and rolled your eyes. How you view the gods, and how I view the gods, are not so different. Religion is all about self help, and a lot of this is things the gods care about because they are lessons that need to be learned by us. It is not being tamed to say they want good for us, that they want us to learn these important lessons.
The work seems to speak to some people, it made some people smile, and made some people’s day a little brighter. That’s all I care about.
