Adam, Eve, and the Serpent | Elaine H. Pagels

My last post was a selection of poetry (from Chen Chen) that featured a metaphor about bobbing for apples, the moon, & sexy anatomy. When looking for the perfect image, I found all of these suggestive images of women bobbing for apples in the 1950‘s. They weren‘t right for the poem (he‘s gay) but now I‘m totally enthralled.

ALSO, I found an article entitled, “Why Apple Bobbing is Actually a Female Fertility Ritual.” Linking in comments below!

monalyisha The writing is a little bit weird but still worth a read!: https://www.google.com/amp/s/munchies.vice.com/amp/en_us/article/xy74mz/why-appl... 6y
EleniKara That was an interesting read! Definitely a “useless” piece of info I‘ll hold onto 😊 6y
monalyisha @EleniKara Store it away for Trivia Night. 😉 6y

monalyisha @TheReadingMermaid There are so many great images if you google “bobbing for apples 1950‘s.” This particular one is available as an art print if you want to put it on your wall! (I‘m tempted.) https://fineartamerica.com/featured/woman-bobbing-for-apples-c1950s-h-armstrong-... 6y

My friend is turning 30 this weekend and is being thrown a surprise birthday party, the theme of which is "Danger." I'm working on my costume tonight. #eve #paragonofknowledge #downfallofhumanity #temptress #grlpwr
