pickDivine Might by Natalie Haynes 🎧 read by the author.
Enjoyed this book tremendously, a deep look into Greek goddesses that walked the world so long ago, yet sometimes I wonder if they‘re still here. Who they were in myth, literature, pop culture. I only wish my audio book projected pictures of all the artwork. 😅

pickA fascinating collection of myths and legends spanning centuries and countries. From the classic Greek myths through King Arthur, Norse myths, and legends of Charlemagne, this would be a great starting point for anyone wanting to get into mythologies of Europe.
I considered myself well studied in Greek myths and Arthurian legends, but this collection had several I had never seen before! Also enjoyed the occasional insert of other texts.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Devdutt Pattanaik, a renowned mythologist, explores Purushartha—the four aims of human life in Hinduism. These include Dharma (righteousness and moral duty), Artha (material wealth and prosperity), Kama (pleasure and emotional fulfillment), and Moksha (spiritual liberation and self-realization). Pattanaik highlights how these goals help individuals balance ethics, wealth, desires, and spirituality, leading to a fulfilling and harmonious life.
pickTook a while….its hard to get back into the swing of reading consistently!….but we got there!
Well I can‘t craft, so I shall read. Of all positions to fall asleep in! God she is adorable!
I think I have been in book burnout the last month and a bit. So I decided to focus on crafting things during that time (it‘s winter, items are needed for our local foodbank). Now I have n urge to read, so hoping to get back into it.
pickA great read from my #14Books14Weeks stack. I‘ve wanted to read this for awhile and really enjoyed Atwood‘s take on The Odyssey. Thank you so much @BarbaraBB for sending me this copy! ♥️
pickI loved how Campbell describes at first he was concerned teaching comparative mythology would taint or destroy his students‘ religious beliefs. However, it had the opposite effect, rather it deepened the meaning of the principles & values in their lives.
I enjoyed the comparisons between mythologies to reveal universal commonalities. Certainly they seem to reflect the human psyche, regardless whether one believes in cosmic force(s).
