A fun request I did for my good friend @maudie-beans / @happy-capy-art ! The Saiyan God of Eat and the Icejin deity, Frez, in an ancient mural!

These two are feral forces of primal energy, a meeting between the two would be utter chaos! Maybe they'll have a truce later over snacks 🤔

Bonus:

Fertility and Chilltuor

Gerd.

Jötunn goddess of fertility.

Daughter of Gymer and Aurboda.

Wife of Yngve-Frey and Mother of Fjölner and founding mother of the first Swedish royal line.

I always imagen her with diffent hues of brown in her hair, like the layers of the soil.

Also wearing a lot of gold, because after a lot of nagging to marry Frey, she might as well get the best out of from the wealthiest family line amung the gods. Also she tells skrinir she is allready from a wealthy family and holds just as much wealth as her father does so.

And, when I think about Gerd I also often picture a very strong and confident woman, not in the Freya way with power over love and death and magic, but more like; "yeah, Im fine af, and thrive like the plants in my soil and I know it".

Like just, confidence!

And as a fertility goddess, for me its less of a loving mother, and more of a intense pulse of life within nature that refuse to die. Very much like Frey.

Aphrodite: The Greek Goddess of Love had a Fascinating Origin Story

In Greek mythology, it is believed that the goddess Aphrodite, known as the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, had a unique and fascinating origin story. According to one popular myth, Aphrodite's birth was linked to the castration of the sky god Uranus by his son Cronus.

Legend has it that Cronus, encouraged by his mother Gaia, used a sickle to castrate Uranus and severed his genitals. As Uranus's blood fell into the sea, it mixed with the foamy waves, creating a great froth. From within this sea foam, Aphrodite was said to have been born and emerged in her full-grown and radiant form.

The imagery of Aphrodite's birth from sea foam is a powerful symbol of her association with the sea and its elements. It represents her connection to beauty, femininity, and the allure that captivates others. The myth captures the essence of her divine nature as a captivating and irresistible goddess of love and desire.

This mythological tale of Aphrodite's birth from sea foam has inspired countless works of art and literature throughout history, cementing her status as one of the most iconic and widely recognized Greek goddesses.

holistic womb healing tip:

aim to keep your womb warm by avoiding or limiting the amount of cold you put into your body and replacing it with warm foods + liquids. this increases blood flow to the uterus and aids in fertility! even if you're not trying to get pregnant, on a spiritual level, having a fertile womb allows you to naturally magnetize the things that you want in life with ease.

The Harvest or Ceres and Triptolemus

Artist: Louis-Jean-François Lagrenée (French, 1725–1805)

Date: 1769

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Louvre Museum, Paris, France

Description

Few French painters of the eighteenth century were more indecisive than Lagrenée, who was capable of shifting from the flowery allegory of Harvest (1769) to the gray classicism of The Visitation (1781). The prolific Lagrenée listened to everyone, and was alternatively treated by Diderot with harshness for his lack of ideas and extolled for the "charm" of his Mercury, Herse and Aglauros. This made Lagrenée a particularly indulgent director of the French Academy in Rome from 1781 to 1787.
