The Birth of Venus

I’ve started making posts where I dive into certain artistic depictions of Lady Aphrodite. Many are technically Lady Venus but they’re generally depicted the same. I’ve created one on The Birth of Venus by Botticelli already, and an anonymous person requested The Birth of Venus by Cabanel, so here you go!

Alexandre Cabanel

Alexandre Cabanel was a French painter born on September 28, 1823, in Montpellier, France and died on January 23, 1889 in Paris. He tended to paint historical, classical, and religious subjects in the “academic style”. Cabanel was Napoleon III’s favored painter.

Description of the Painting

The Goddess Venus, depicted as pale with long, orange hair, lays on the waves, looking to be asleep or just waking up. Above her, the Erotes, winged babies, blow on seashells and watch over her.

About the Painting

The birth of Venus was painted in 1863 using oil on canvas. Its dimensions are 150 cm × 250 cm (59 in × 98 in), and it is displayed in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris. Two smaller versions from 1864 and 1875 are on display in the Dahesh Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. When painted, this artwork was immediately purchased by Napoleon III for his personal collection.

Pokemon Colosseum X Psychopomp Gold Venus as Lady Venus and Mercury as Ein. This is a self-indulgent crossover between my life-long obsession and my most recent obsession.

I’m still processing how it happened and wondering what it all means, but today a big pink hamfaced English guy tried to fight Dr Glass in a parking lot (!) and a completely unrelated, amazingly tall woman appeared (!!) and charged the other guy in defense of Dr Glass (!!!) shouting at him so effectively that he got in his car and drove off.

Dr Glass doesn’t look like anything in particular or even do that much, he is so ORDINARY. He just emits some kind of magnetic field that causes Events, and yet the magnetic field also creates feedback that insulates him from the Events. Doesn’t even have to do his own fight scenes!! just magnetically attracts a TALL BRAVE WOMAN to destroy the entire fighting premise. No one can prepare for this. I feel like I’m the only person who notices it

They always say if u love smth then let it go 😔 as a long-standing Sidon girlie I was struggling w coming to grips I fear (which ended up not being all that hard to do bc Lady Yona is so cute I love her.......)

Happy Friday!

Friday is Aphrodite’s day every week and I like to honor Her by writing a little prayer. Today’s topic is self-care when it’s hard. I chose this because as someone with depression who is also a major people pleaser, it’s very hard for me to put myself first or care about myself at all, and I know I’m mot the only one who struggles with that.

Note: I do not write prayers often but am practicing, so this may not be good. Sorry!

Loving Goddess Aphrodite

Of the sea (Pontia)

Of the sky (Ourania)

Of the dark (Melainis)

I ask you to please help me with this request.

She who rules over love of all forms,

Assist me in caring for myself.

Help me to see me the way you do

Beautiful, Loving, and Human

And help me to treat myself like I deserve

with patience, kindness, and care.

For when the waves of my emotions

crash against my heart,

and when the skies are filled with sorrow

When all I can see is darkness,

You are the light.

I thank you for all that you have already done

for I now know how you see me.

I ask you to help me to take care of my mind and body

For I know that I am full of beauty.

Neither of my Christian parents know anything about Greek mythology or Hellenism but my father owns this!? Quite literally the birth of Venus?! It's like a small container, but it is so cool! I don't worship Lady Aphrodite, but this is beautiful.
