Topic Research: Goddesses Galore

Eos, goddess of dawn

1. Loser Goddess's Club
Although Greek goddesses get a lot of attention, there are dozens with really cool stories that don't get as much attention as Aphrodite or Athena. One of my personal favorites is Eos, goddess of the dawn. I'd love to have a story surrounding her and other lesser known goddesses like Iris (goddess of rainbows) and Selene (goddess of the moon.) This story might be them ranting about the popular goddesses or telling their own stories they wish more people knew.

2. Mansion of Muses
I think the Greek Muses would make a really great topic project because they are nine goddesses who each are in charge of some form of art. This story could revolve around them being in a large house together and the drama that ensues from a bunch of girls living together. I lived in a sorority house for a year so I know all the trouble that can happen with boys, sharing clothes and gossip.

3. Goddess Book Club
This story would be a mashup of cultures with goddesses of different cultures coming together with similar powers. Like how would the Norse goddess of wisdom interact with the Japanese and Roman goddesses of wisdom. I don't know the details yet but I know I want lots of different women hanging out together discussing their battles and stories and maybe sharing how they would have handled things.

    I love this storybook idea! I think it would be really interesting to get to know more about the goddesses that you mentioned as I do not know a lot about them. The sorority house comparison could also work really well and my mind goes directly to the greek myths as they have a lot of drama, and obviously also because of greek life, haha. The culture mashup displayed through a book club is a curious concept and I cannot help but wonder what books they might read together!

Hello & welcome to Hayley's scrunchie!!! My scrunchie holds all my hair together and this blog will hold all my thoughts together. (Personal photo of me at Camp Crimson wearing  one of about a dozen scrunchies I have) This summer I was a Small Group Leader at Camp Crimson, and our name tags say "Ask me about ___"  You can put whatever you want on there, like campus involvement or favorite animals but mine said ask me about my spotify playlists . I am a huge music lover and switching to Spotify Premium a year and a half ago truly changed my life. I really love alternative and indie music, and there are so many bands out there it kinda freaks me out how much good music there is out in the world I've never even heard before. (Personal photo of when my best friend (left) and I (right) met  the lead singer of Walk the Moon, one of my favorite bands) One of my favorite playlists is called  Night Drive . There is such a specific feeling that com...

(Cupid and Psyche,  Wikimedia Commons ) Therapist: So why are you two here today? Cupid: I don't think we need this- Psyche: You don't think we need couple's therapy? Don't be stupid, Cupid. Do you remember when your mother tried to kill me on multiple occasions? She sent me to the underworld and told me to my face that she wished I would just die? You don't remember that, Cupid? Cupid: Okay, I mean I think everything's okay now! We don't have to worry about her because that's all in the past. All that matters is that we are happily in love. Therapist: Wait, his mother tried to kill you? That might be worth discussing. Psyche: YES! She was jealous of my beauty and wanted me to stay far away because I was getting so much attention. Then, after she found out I was dating Cupid, she made me perform nearly impossible errands in hopes that I'd give up and die. She would rather me be dead than end up with her son. Therapist: And how does th...
