Aphrodite and all things Fertile

Aphrodite...

Isis... 

Freyja...

It’s Goddess of Fertility Day.

If you’re looking to fall pregnant,

 your thoughts should be

with Aphrodite today. 

(People sometimes offer

 flowers or incense.) 

I was surprised to see

just how many Gods of Fertility

there have been

throughout the ages! 

 Frigg was a Nordic God. 

 Frigg – Great name! 

 She protected a man’s marriage

 and made him fertile. 

She was so capable,

that merely speaking her name

 was enough to add children

 to a marriage! 

 (Don’t say “frig!”

 if a condom breaks today!) 

There is one Goddess

I am not too impressed with... 

Hawaiian Goddess, Haumea

was continually reborn –

allowing her to always return

to mate with her own children... 

wrong, right?

And, I am definitely pleased

 that I have far fewer breasts

 than Cybele, the Roman

 Goddess of Fertility!

 

Regardless, today is

Goddess of Fertility Day...

Use the day wisely!
