books i read in 2021: the silence of the girls by pat barker

What will they make of us, the people of those unimaginably distant times? One thing I do know: they won’t want the brutal reality of conquest and slavery. They won’t want to be told about the massacres of men and boys, the enslavement of women and girls. They won’t want to know we were living in a rape camp. No, they’ll go for something altogether softer. A love story, perhaps? I just hope they manage to work out who the lovers were.

His story. His, not mine. It ends at his grave.

Modern Mythology | Werewolves

Nótt (Old Norse “night”) is night personified, grandmother of Thor. Nótt is listed as the daughter of Nörvi and is associated with the horse Hrímfaxi. Nótt had three marriages. Her first marriage, to Naglfari produced her first son, Audr, a god of prosperity; her second marriage, to Annar, produced her only daughter, the giantess Jörð, who, by Odin, was the mother of Thor. Her third marriage was to the god Dellingr and this resulted in their son Dagr, the personified day. As a proper noun, the word nótt appears throughout Old Norse literature.

Hindu Mythology: Shakti - goddess of divine feminine creative power

“Woman is the creator of the universe, the universe is her form; woman is the foundation of the world, she is the true form of the body. In woman is the form of all things, of all that lives and moves in the world. There is no jewel rarer than woman, no condition superior to that of a woman”. - Shaktisangama Tantra

mythology family ♥︎ eirene for @apeollo

eirene was the goddess of peace and the season of spring. she was one of the three horai, deities of the seasons and keepers of the gates of heaven. her sisters were eunomia (good order) and dike (justice). eirene’s name is the greek word for peace (eirênê) but it is also closely connected with the word for spring (eiar, eiarinos). in ancient greece late spring was the traditional campaign season, the time when peace was most at risk.
