It only gains my ire when Artemis is suddenly the be all and end all of deities for women. That's the point when I must say seriously, fools, what the bleeding hell happened to Hera?

Hey! I have a shrine to Hera -- not to Artemis. I'm married after all, and Hera is freaking powerful.

No rusty pick ax -- just good reading, UPG and my own sense of good judgment. I think our arguments are fun anyways.

I'm very much the same in this context. But I think people don't look at hera enough and simply see her as a jealous shrew.

In addition, when did hekate become a crone?

I think I have tonislitis. gonk

I think Hecate become a crone the same time The Morrigan became a Maiden-Mother-Crone who teaches of 'empowerment of self'. Ugh.

I actually had a little Artemis obsession when I was younger. There's something just so poignant about a virgin huntress. She's like the ultimate "liberated" goddess. Her associations revolve largely around hunting, which is a primal way of providing for oneself, and she's free from men. I don't know why I should appreciate that so much, being a male with dim views of celibacy in many cases, but I do.

Hera is a goddess of the family unit. In mythology, she always seemed largely defined by her marriage to Zeus to me- as in she might be identified as "Zeus's wife." In the Hellenic pantheon, it is not Hera who I would not expect to be so eclipsed (no pun intended) by Artemis, but Demeter and Athena. What about them?

.Well... Hekate becomes the crone whenever it's convenient for someone who's looking for a greek goddess to represent the crone. xp
They might chose her simply because she has that witchcraft association.

So, during the summer around here it usually rains a grand total of twice, usually accompanying a thunderstorm. Over the course of the past two weeks, we've had FOUR DAYS WITH RAIN! Did fall come early or something? Yesterday, it was in the 90s and clear (normal); today, it is in the 70s and rainy (wtf??). *looks up at sky* I don't understand you!!! *runs off to weather website to figure out what's going on*

Gotta Love WA.

So Mute- we need to figure out a time to have tea together. I have Haddie up and running, so life should be good.

Well, I get back into Seattle next month. If you're in that region, we might work something out.

I'm just a little shy about meeting somebody I've only known online. It's not something I've done before, and I've been getting assorted warnings about it since I started using the internet. >_> It helps that you have a lot of people here who've met you before and can vouch for you. It's nothing personal, I'm just cautious.

I'm about an hour away from Seattle. I need to hit the Uni district anyway to get my stud changed out. (Deep Roots = heart ) So maybe we could meet up at a cafe or something and have some tea then.

I'd only be alarmed if you suddenly had a shrine to Ares. Just.... WHY?

As much as I can see some of the modern attitudes towards Ares, he's not a god I'm going to set up a shrine for.

If I wanted to do physical excellence, like a lot of the modern stuff focuses on, I'd be more apt to stick with Apollo or Artemis.

And thank you for making the distinction about Artemis. She's not a woman -- she's an adolescent by modern standards if anything.  

[sol_oriens]

You got me. I'm content to let them go on doing what they are doing. Nothings come back to bite them in the butt about it.  

[TeaDidikai]

Tea's shoulder hurts. Why does Tea's shoulder hurt? Because Tea isn't used to driving stick in a car that is older than she is! gonk  

[Maze]

Tea will get used to it! The stick is the best part of the car! Along with the steering. And all the things I'm not supposed to do in a van because vans are not meant to be driven like race cars.

Oops. 8D

I like the conversations I come back to in this thread whenever I'm gone for a day or so, though, I have to say. XD I don't have dyslexia or dyscalculia as far as I'm aware (I suck at math, but that's mostly a lack of use, I get the impression) but lately, I've been using words that sound similar to the word I actually mean to use, messing up sentences in a brilliantly useless fashion. XD; I'm fluent in typo, though, so it's okay.
