Hathor, patroness of the west, who is represented as a cow emerging from the western mountain at Thebes into the clumps of papyrus that fringe the Nile Valley. She wears around her neck the pendulum shaped counterpoise and loosely strung bead rows of a 'menyet' collar. The 'menyet' collar provides source of sound when shaken and particularly associated with the goddess' worship. Between her horns are a sun-disc and tall plumes. Papyrus of Ani, British Museum, EA10470,34

Usha Lakshmi Rishika Gargi
Ratri
All of it feels so confusing. Everybody is looking at me warily as if I will soon snap at me. Maa keeps asking me what is bothering me inside and I repeat the same answer: I don't know. I don't have answer to these damn numericals, to the questions about why I had to move out and live her away from school and friends and why I feel so low about my self. I used to call myself pretty as a child, but now when I look at the mirror, I hate looking at it. Soulless eyes stare back at me. My hair is unkept and lips dry. I cry more than I breathe.
This is not how Usha had taught me to be. This is not the friend Goddess Lakshmi had made. This is not the girl Gargi saw. I am probably not going to amount to something great....
I run to the terrace. It is surrounded by large green hills that appear a foot closer when it rains. When no person understands you have nature standing with you. The trees hear your sobs, the hills see you hold yourself so strong knowing that there are too many tumultuous thoughts in your head ready to break you. The gentle winds try to wipe your tears away and the moon becomes your silent friend to confide all your sorrows, pain and fears.
The terrace is shrouded in darkness. The stars too aren't playing in the sky today. The moon looks slightly pale today. Everything looks so dull. Just like me.
"Is the outside world dull or have you projected your gaze on them?"
Huh??? I swiftly move my head towards the direction of the unknown voice. I see no being standing.
"Look carefully. You shall find the voice, your answers as well as your happiness."
I was sad. Now, I will definitely go mad. I skim my eyes through the dark when a shimmery glaze blinds my sight and flies around me. It appears like those sparkle showers from Barbie movies when Barbie gets a new princess dress.
In the dark, dressed in shimmery drapes stands a woman who looks like a queen. A tiara shines on her head and on the centre, there is a stone which looks similar to a diamond. Her eyes are dark but they shine as if containing all the stars inside them.
She outstretches her hand towards me. It doesn't feel warm unlike the other goddesses. It feels cold and light as if a cool gust of wind has brushed my skin. Her lips curl and I hear her say, "I won't be motherly or behave like your mortal and divine sisters. I know the pains you are going through. I am not here to soothe the hurt you carry in your heart. I am the silent witness to all the tiredness, sorrow, hurt and pain that exists in the world for only during nightime does one express and release all emotions held in the deepest corners of the heart. I am here to tell you that this journey of thorns is still incomplete. Pain, sadness, loss is inevitable, but do not fall prey to it and break down. Release, cry, scream and shout, but take it all out. In dawn, when my sister Usha brings her chariot in the sky, your eyes must carry strength and hope once again. You will not lose. You will get there where you want. Good times and bad times follow each other just like we sisters- Usha and me."
She blinks those star-like eyes. For a minute, I see some sympathy, a little kind look at my condition. When I blink my tears away, her enchanting face looks hostile. She tilts her chin up and says, "My presence will be cold, will make you feel that the whole world is desolate, but I am a good listener. This darkness will bring you towards light. I shall always propel you towards it. Sometimes nights will start feeling tender too. Goodnight.... "
With a graceful turn, she starts flying to the sky. Her shimmery clothes flutter in the sky. I stare at those tiny sparkles and then she disappears into thin air. A tiny sparkle still sits on my palm.

I created a small devotional video for Aphrodite, with her Orphic Hymn. Here is the text of the hymn: Orphic Hymn to Aphrodite Heavenly, smiling Aphrodite, praised in many hymns, sea-born, revered goddess of generation, you like the nightlong revel and you couple lovers at night, O scheming mother of Necessity. Everything comes from you; you have yoked the world, and you control all three realms. You give birth to all, to everything in heaven, upon the fruitful earth and in the depths of the sea, O venerable companion of Bacchos. You delight in festivities, O bridelike mother of the Erotes, O Persuasion whose joy is in the bed of love, secretive, giver of grace, visible and invisible, lovely-tressed daughter of a noble father, bridal feast companion of the gods, sceptered she-wolf, beloved and man-loving giver of birth and of life, with your maddening love-charms you yoke mortals and the many races of beasts to unbridled passion. Come, O goddess born in Cyprus, whether you are on Olympos, O queen, exulting in the beauty of your face, or you wander in Syria, country of fine frankincense, or, yet, driving your golden chariot in the plain, you lord it over Egypt’s fertile river bed. Come, whether you ride your swan-drawn chariot over the sea’s billows, joying in the creatures of the deep as they dance in circles, or you delight in the company of the dark-faced nymphs on land, (as, light-footed, they frisk over the sandy beaches). Come, lady, even if you are in Cyprus that cherishes you, where fair maidens and chaste nymphs throughout the year sing of you, O blessed one, and of immortal, pure Adonis. Come, O beautiful and comely goddess; I summon you with holy words and pious soul. (Translation by A. Athanassakis) Music in the video: Crowander - Don't you leave (Creative Commons License) Rose frame picture: Pixabay video with Aphrodite collage picture, incense and candles: by me

Why are there so many gods here?
SO! One day, the Eternal Trio decided to Check if they had ant past lives using Magic.
They already knew that Tucker was the Reincarnation of some Pharoah, so maybe they were also some historical figures in a last life.
It does not go as expected.
Danny finds out that he was the Ancient of Space, and the reason Clockwork was so invested in keeping him from being erased from Time is because he's his Brother apparently.
Sam finds out that she was the Embodiment of The Green, and Undergrowths attempt at Adopting her was some scheme to become the Parent of his used-to-be Queen while she was in Mortal Form, therefore overthrowing her.
Tucker finds out that Duulaman was just one in a long line of the Reincarnations of the Sun God Ra, and that he had been quite a few more historical figures in the Past.
They were surprised to figure this out, but then they got curious.
They tested the Spell out on Jazz, and found that she used to be an Amazonian Goddess, alongside Pandora.
They test it on Dash, and find that he used to be Hermes, God of Travel and Speed.
Ellie was an Embodiment of something called the Speed Force, who was also a child of Space before their rebirth, apparently.
They slowly realize that almost every person of note in Amity Park is the Reincarnation of some kind of God or Spirit. And none of them seem to realize that.
Why are there so many reborn Gods in this town?
...
Constantine is actually asking himself the EXACT same question at that very moment, after a botched teleportation spell landed him in Amity Park.

First born of Ra. She was the lion goddess of war and vengeance. Also from disease and medicine. She was a symbol of strength and power, and it was said that her breath created the desert.

It’s odd how Athena is Zeus’s favorite but she doesn’t seem to like him back, not only did she participate in Hera’s coup against him but even in the Iliad she was upset with him.

So, I know some of you have read the tumblr version of Goddesses, Rishikas and Women (GRW)here, and later on I decided to turn it into a book whose link is down below:
Wattpad version of GRW 🥀
The Wattpad version has short stories about I think 2 new characters that I hadn't posted on tumblr.
But this doesn't end here. There are more divine women and goddesses that I want to write about, but that version shall be published as en ebook, probably on kindle because I am only a beginner.
If you can, then do give the wattpad version of this book a read, and let me know your thoughts about it.
Thank you so much!
