mythology meme: medusa

❝ The stage is empty, and you watch as the figure of Medusa steps into the gas-light. Her body is dressed in a crimson traversed by the golden branches of willow trees, colour and light held into shape by sharp black borders. Lifting languidly her hands, she reaches towards you. Her emerald vipers, in the cohesive movements of unseen mechanisms, weave loops about her head. ❞ ―       Tamara Rendell, Mystical Tides 

mythology meme: hecate

❝ The eyes lift after it and find the moon. The moon is my mother. She is not sweet like Mary. Her blue garments unloose small bats and owls. How I would like to believe in tenderness – The face of the effigy, gentled by candles, Bending, on me in particular, its mild eyes. ❞ ―       Sylvia Plath, The Moon and the Yew Tree

mythology meme: aphrodite

❝ Bright hopes and pure delights Upon his course may beam, And there, amid the sternest heights, The sweetest flowerets gleam. On all her breezes borne, Earth yields no scents like those; But he that dares not grasp the thorn Should never crave the rose. ❞ ―       Anne Brontë, The Narrow Way

mythology meme: mermaids

❝ I have seen them riding seaward on the waves Combing the white hair of the waves blown back When the wind blows the water white and black. We have lingered in the chambers of the sea By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown Till human voices wake us, and we drown. ❞ ―       T.S. Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock 

mythology meme: persephone

❝ Be to her, Persephone, All the things I might not be; Take her head upon your knee. She that was so proud and wild, Flippant, arrogant and free, She that had no need of me, Is a little lonely child Lost in Hell,—Persephone, Take her head upon your knee; Say to her, “My dear, my dear, It is not so dreadful here. ❞ ― Edna St. Vincent Millay, Prayer to Persephone

❝ …And you thought dead people were boring.❞

mythology meme: eos

❝ When night is almost done, And sunrise grows so near That we can touch the spaces, It’s time to smooth the hair And get the dimples ready, And wonder we could care For that old faded midnight That frightened but an hour. ❞ ― Emily Dickinson, Dawn

original stories & characters [5/?]: Séraphine Leblanc.

mythology meme: selene

mythology meme: hera

❝ Zeus may have been the God of lightning and of thunder. But it was Hera who invented the rain. ❞ ― Nikita Gill, Great Goddesses: Life Lessons from Myths and Monsters

mythology meme: hades & persephone

❝ I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body. ❞ 

― Pablo Neruda, XVII (I do not love you…)

TWELVE SIGNS: aries. (march 20 – april 20) “You express your vital energy in a very cut and dried way, you do not resist taking the driver’s seat and you may come across as arrogant. Charging ahead also implies hurting yourself and being suddenly overcome by doubt. As a result, your courage, your honesty, your enthusiasm and your straightforwardness may turn into aggressiveness, rebellion and vulnerability that no one ever suspected. Fortunately, the level of your energy is very high and your instinctive and pugnacious side will not leave you helpless for too long and will set you back on the often perilous road to conquest and glory.”

THE THREE MOTHERS: Mater Lachrymarum, Our Lady of Tears.

“The eldest of the three is named Mater Lachrymarum, Our Lady of Tears. She it is that night and day raves and moans, calling for vanished faces. […] She it was that stood in Bethlehem on the night when Herod’s sword swept its nurseries of Innocents, and the little feet were stiffened forever, which, heard at times as they tottered along floors overhead, woke pulses of love in household hearts that were not unmarked in heaven. Her eyes are sweet and subtle, wild and sleepy, by turns; oftentimes rising to the clouds, oftentimes challenging the heavens. She wears a diadem round her head.” – Thomas de Quincey, Suspiria de Profundis (x)

THE THREE MOTHERS: Mater Suspiriorum, Our Lady of Sighs.

“The second sister is called Mater Suspiriorum, Our Lady of Sighs. She never scales the clouds, nor walks abroad upon the winds. She wears no diadem. And her eyes, if they were ever seen, would be neither sweet nor subtle; no man could read their story; they would be found filled with perishing dreams, and with wrecks of forgotten delirium.” – Thomas de Quincey, Suspiria de Profundis (x)

THE THREE MOTHERS: Mater Tenebrarum, Our Lady of Darkness.

“But the third sister, who is also the youngest! Hush! whisper whilst we talk of her! Her kingdom is not large, or else no flesh should live; but within that kingdom all power is hers. Her head, turreted like that of Cybèle, rises almost beyond the reach of sight. She droops not; and her eyes rising so high might be hidden by distance. But, being what they are, they cannot be hidden; through the treble veil of crape which she wears, the fierce light of a  blazing misery, that rests not for matins or for vespers, for noon of day or noon of night, for ebbing or for flowing tide, may be read from the very ground. She is the defier of God. […] And her name is Mater Tenebrarum, Our Lady of Darkness.” – Thomas de Quincey, Suspiria de Profundis (x)

mythology meme: euphrosyne, greek goddess of cheer, joy and mirth.

❝ The ring is on my hand, And the wreath is on my brow – Satins and jewels grand,  And many a rood of land,  Are all at my command,  And I am happy now! ❞ ― Bridal Ballad, Edgar Allan Poe

“ Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date; (...) ” – Sonnet 18: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? by William Shakespeare
