| Macha Lift The Curse- Sappho -The Poetess Macha lifting the Curse of War from the World of Men. There are no real winners in war, Let Your Divine feminine aspect lead the way to conflict resolution In the Irish myth, Macha, a faery woman, was forced to run a race against the king's horses while she was nine months pregnant. She wins, collapses, and gives birth to twins. Before she dies, she curses the men of Ulster - saying that when they go into battle, the men would become as weak as a woman in labor. In the painting she's not only lifting the original curse on men of Ulster, but now also the curse of war from the world of man. The mound in the foreground is her ancestral home of Emain Macha in county Armagh with the Celtic ritual horns found close by Sappho was an archaic Greek poet from the island of Lesbos. Sappho is known for her lyric poetry, written to be sung and accompanied by a lyre. Most of Sappho's poetry is now lost, and what is extant has survived only in fragmentary form, except for one complete poem – the "Ode to Aphrodite I love every inch of my body And I love all women in my life fiercely Sappho embodies the deep love, admiration and sensuality that exists between women. It's believed that Sappho was born 630 BCE on the Greek Island of Lesbos, She was referred to an antiquity as the 10th muse and the poetess just as Homer referred to as the poet. She's one of the great Greek lyricists and one of the few known female poetess of the ancient world, She read her poems rhythmically while accompanied by the lyre in a form known as sapphic meter. Sappho is celebrated for the sexuality & sensuality in her poetry, especially for her love for women & the female body " Fill, Fill the goblet up, / these laughing lips / shall kiss the brim / Come Venus come" This is one of the fragments that remain of her voluminous collection of poetry. Ecclesiastical authorities in Constantinople (Today's Istanbul) & Rome obliterated her work in the 11th century, Her poetry was publicly burned because church leaders were scandalised by it's erotic and that the author was a woman. In Ancient Greece a woman's love for another woman was considered natural & Sappho's love for the female form became legendary, It's believed that she read her writings before groups women, educating and elevating them as she performed her poetry about the goddess like nature they all possessed Instead of exhausting ourselves with the unholy effort of comparing our bodies to others. Sappho urges us to do the most revolutionary thing. Don't compare yourself with the others, everyone is unique. Love yourself and spread this to your friends who keeps comparing themselves with others Just love yourself and be happy Decks used here The Divine Feminine Oracle - Art Through The Eyes of The Soul     |
