Aphrodite Apaturus (Deceitful) and Aphrodite Areia (Warlike)

A surname of Aphrodite at Phanagoria and other places in the Taurian Chersonesus, where it originated, according to tradition, in this way: Aphrodite was attacked by giants, and called Heracles to her assistance. He concealed himself with her in a cavern, and as the giants approached her one by one, she surrendered them to Heracles to kill them

She wasn’t just the goddess of love; she was the force that made gods betray, men destroy, and empires fall

Medieval Toy Unearthed in Poland

A 800-year-old horse figurine was found during an excavation conducted as part of the construction of a new fire station in Toruń, a medieval town on the Vistula River in north-central Poland. The small clay horse was glazed and has a hole in its underside. Researchers think a stick may have fit into the hole so that playing children could pretend to make the horse gallop or use it as a puppet.

Mountain Ghost ~ Hua Sanchuan (Chinese artist, 1930-2004)

Shānguǐ (山鬼). Literally “mountain ghost.” Originally a jilted lover in the classical Nine Songs, she developed over time into a woman, usually naked, living in the wilderness, married to a red leopard or a tiger. Considered the goddess of Mt. Wū (巫山神女).

I truly believe being able to name the world around you is integral to animism. learn the names of plants and flowers. learn how the rocks and soil you walk over daily form. sit with the streams and rivers, learn where they flow to and from. learn the names others have given, and give them your own as well. animism is interconnectedness, and one simple step is learning the names of your neighbors
