Aphrodite Made Me Do It (Myth and Magick Book 1)

Product Information

The lovely Aphrodite was said to be born from the sea foam produced by his dismembered parts. Hesiod interpreted Aphrodite’s name as risen from the foam. But her name is also thought to stem from a word meaning shining, wanderer, and bright. Hesiod mentions two islands in his story about Aphrodite’s origins. The collection itself is incredibly easy to read, managing it in one sitting if you feel capable of reading the heavy subject matters. Aphrodite’s segments are full of power and dominance whilst the poet sections are full of empowerment and survival throughout life’s struggles. The artwork is an incredibly colourful bonus, and I found myself sat admiring the work for lengths of time before continuing. There’s so much content to sink your teeth into. The collection itself is a conversation between the goddess and the poet, being split into dedicated sections of the anthology and communicating with one another on similar subjects, from love to war. The collection itself is compiled of prose, poetry and art, and is full of luscious drawings and delicious words, tantalising you and drawing you in for more. Mateer is a brilliant storyteller, using multiple mediums to present her life and opinions in multiple different views. From the pain she suffered at a younger age, to herself as a person now, Mateer guides you through it with colour and light and survival. It’s a truly inspiring read. Since as i said the whole book is highlighted, i will put here the quotes that for some reason i highlighted with a different colour than the most: This is undoubtedly an exciting book for that as well. It’s coming from the perspective of talking specifically about Aphrodite. The way that it’s written, the author’s very clever. She does put her points of view across, but it’s done so subtly that it doesn’t feel like she’s trying to influence you. I would highly recommend this book on Aphrodite.

Museums: Museums provide informative displays and descriptions of the artifacts they have on display. Outside Pussy Willows, Nicole is telling Wynonna that she should drive, and Wynonna is telling Nicole she’s a cute drunk, when Wynonna remembers something. And this was another one of those perfectly played Scrofano moments, because Wynonna says, “Abort! Abort!” then does this cute little gasp and apologizes to her belly. They still need to find the last seal, after which time Widow Beth says their “love” will “burn bright and true.” Which…isn’t as comforting as it sounds like it should be. And probably has something to do with that husband they’ve mentioned. i thought this book could get more "tumblier" and here goes, in the middle of the book, a random list of things to do for your mental health. It's lovely but it doesn't really make sense ... If you are somebody that has an interest in feminist literature, this is an essential read. You get to see how the role of powerful women could be changed even so early on throughout history. Even the role of a deity could be changed so drastically to fit whatever was considered appropriate at the time.

I’m hoping now that she’s opening up to her this wall between them (sometimes depicted quite literally in shots like this) will come down. Meanwhile somewhere in a dusty barn, a boy wakes up a cobweb covered cowboy called Reeves and says he found the man they have been looking for. Reeves tells the boy to mark the man for execution, and that man is Doc Holliday. According to the boy, he has been “decloaked.” (More like de-Clootied amiright.) Books about Aphrodite can offer insights into the mythology and symbolism surrounding this vital figure and her cultural and historical significance. If you are curious about Greek mythology or the role of goddesses in ancient cultures, reading these books can be a rewarding experience. I usually really enjoy longer poems, but here, the supposed longer poems aren't giving me what they are suppose to : they usually consist of a succession of short sentences that seem more like a bullet-pointed draft than an actual poem. they married me off in the stories So they could call me an adulteress, but I brought the god of war to his knees”

And then, something interesting happens. Nicole says that if Wynonna is an Earp, and the bartender is a revenant, the baby is…Waverly. Now, she says Waverly because her girlfriend happens to be calling at the moment, but I don’t think that can be ignored. So, Aphrodite is an important figure in ancient Greek mythology and has been revered and celebrated by cultures throughout history. By reading books about Aphrodite, you can explore the many different ways in which this goddess has been understood and represented, as well as her ongoing cultural influence. 10 Books About AphroditeVoted one of the best poetry collections of 2019 by readers on Goodreads! Bestselling and Goodreads Choice Award winning poet Trista Mateer takes a magical approach to self-care with her new collection, Aphrodite Made Me Do It. This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents either are the product of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, business establishments, events or locales is entirely coincidental. Waverly parses out that they must be at a strip club based in the style and volume of the music at this hour and Nicole gets out an “Aphrodite made me do it” before Wynonna takes matters into her own hands and dunks Nicole’s phone into one of the beers. Nicole isn’t mad though; it was the only solution, clearly.

thank you SO much to my dear friend, kerri (kerrithebookbelle), for getting me a personalized copy of my new favorite poetry book of all time. Nicole is already tipsy at this point, making cute jokes and adorable faces. Top-shelf stuff. Nicole assumes they’re there to tell this guy he might have a little bartender on the way but Wynonna laughs at the simplicity of that plan when surely there’s a way they could do this without having to have any difficult conversations. Her plan is to take shots with the bartender, steal his DNA, have it tested, and hope it works out that she never has to talk about her child’s parentage again. Nicole approves of this plan. Did I mention she’s drunk? This book is well done and well written. Julie Barry is a fantastic writer. You can tell that she thought this through and educated herself on many aspects of this novel. It comes across as very simple, but there are profound elements without pretentious.

Something has been bugging me though, why does Nicole drive the police cruiser even off duty? I doubt they have the resources to allow every deputy to have a car 24/7. Is it because they are a small department and can be called in at any time or is it because she’s “new” in town and never bought a personal car and needs a way to get around town? This graphic novel retells the story of Aphrodite in a visually stunning and engaging way. O’Connor’s illustrations are beautiful and evocative. His storytelling is faithful to the original myths and accessible to a modern audience. This book is an excellent introduction to the world of Greek mythology and will appeal to readers of all ages. Man all anyone ever tells me in bars about that one time they made out with a girl in college and how it was soooo funny. It’s a story of assault, and survival, and having our stories rewritten without our consent. It’s worship and blasphemy, anger and heartache, capped off with tenderness and self-love and learning to cherish yourself no matter how many people in your life have failed to do so. I understand what you mean about Jeremy and maybe he’s just there to be the butt of some jokes, however gentle.
