Manage episode 379467030 series 3324203
It’s (almost) Friday the 13th, so we’re celebrating the spooky vibes by honoring some incredible GODDESSES!
In the rich tapestry of Aztec mythology, Coatlicue emerges as a formidable deity, embodying the dual forces of creation and destruction. Her name, meaning "she who has a skirt of snakes," evokes a vivid image of a goddess adorned with serpents and possessing a necklace made of human hands, hearts, and a skull pendant. In fact, there’s a well-known statue of her that’s so terrifying, the Spanish RE-BURIED it when it was initially discovered.
Freyja, often referred to as an epithet meaning "lady" or "mistress," is a complex deity within Norse mythology. Known for her association with fertility, death, war, and the mystical art of seiðr, Freyja's influence extends across various realms. Her unique attributes include a cloak of falcon feathers, a chariot pulled by cats, and a loyal boar companion, reflecting the rich symbolism intertwined with her character.
