Petition for more thick goddesses

thecarvingwitch:

I wanna see Aphrodite with rosy pink hair and cheeks to match stepping out of the sea and the water flowing down thunderous thighs.

I want to see Demeter with ample hips and a tummy, carrying in the harvest that she’s damn well going to eat.

I want to see Hera as a short, stocky hispanic woman who has six kids under her feet and rules her household with a fair but cast iron skillet.

I want to see Artemis with an athlete’s body; sprinting swift through the mountains with runners calves and biceps/triceps that can punch you through drywall.

I want more thick goddesses.

So I finished hand embroidering the pillow I made for my brother’s Christmas present, and it looks pretty good, but now I have an embroidery hoop and some colored thread in my witch boxes, so that begs the question: What to do with it. And of course a tiny brain voice whispers: “Make a protection piece for the boyyyyy“

Looks like he’ll be getting another outwardly functionally useless gift.

Question now is, what to embroider? My first thought was a geometric design like a mandala, then I moved to Hex signs, and now I’m thinking a bear….Thoughts?
