Welcome to Litsy!

SO exciting to see a New Zealand author writing for Rick Riordan‘s series! This book was great on audio. Short snappy chapters and lots of action, loveable characters based on Korean folklore. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pioneer study of the need for an inner female authority in a masculine-oriented society. Interprets the journey into the underworld of Inanna-lshtar, Goddess of Heaven and Earth, to see Ereshkigal, her dark sister. Very good thus far.

Thank you @Mitch for the book about Goddesses for my birthday 🥳. It sounds right up my alley.
I hope you‘re enjoying some outdoor time this weekend. I‘m headed out for a waterfall hike shortly. 🥰🥾⛰️

For some reason, I struggled with this one.

There were some great insights and analysis and I thoroughly enjoyed how much more I learned about these deities but at some point it felt too much like an essay filled with dated or not needed pop culture that took away from whatever point the author might be making.

This is a lovely companion to the Legendary Ladies Oracle deck and features 50 goddesses from a wide variety of cultures. It gives a very surface-level summary of each goddess‘s mythology, which is a good jumping off point for further study. I really like the diversity and I adore the illustrations.

1. Nope. There are no heroes in humankind. If you'd like a better worded answer, take a look at @The_Pennilesss_Author 's post!
2. Done. Can highly recommend this. It offers great illustrations and a slightly feminist look on the Ancient Greeks, which you don't find too often.

Loved it!!!!

If you love Greek mythology, sarcasm, and studying the classics from a feminist POV, this one is for you. I loved every second of this dive into the stories of the goddesses. Haynes doesn't shy away from painful stories, but she manages to bring humor to the book as well. The section on Persephone‘s kidnapping (pictured) is heartbreaking. I'm off to read the rest of her books now and I can't believe I‘ve missed her work so far!

I love a bit of Greek myth, me.
