As Promised -- Dancing Goddesses!

The Divine Feminine loves Valentines Day too -- after all, who knows more about love and fertility than the Mother of All? So these ancient representations of the Goddess are having a big dance party to celebrate!

Shake your booty, Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth!


And you too, Minoan Snake Goddess!


The Goddess of Willendorf loves line dancing.


I'm not sure who these three are,
but smooth moves, ladies!


The Nile Goddess is as elegant as ever.


Hmm, the Great Goddess of Laussel is
hitting the wine pretty hard.


And the Celtic goddess Sheela-na-gig is
being as outrageous as ever, I see.


These Dancing Goddess gifs were created by Nina Paley and are found here and here. Special thanks to Cal of Calvin's Canadian Cave of Cool for letting me know about them!

  8. I can somehow hear loud thumping Dance Music in the background playing its mindless beat. Now if someone could set these up in one picture, all doing their own dance moves this would be priceless and could break the internet for 2019. My faves are the Willendorf sisters and the Snake Goddess. This is too awesome! Great job.

  19. The Inanna one is fantastic and is now saved on my c-drive for future use.

    The Sheela-na-gig one reminds me of the old PJ Harvey song that actually has a chorus of "Sheela-na-gig / You exhibitionist."

  21. I think Sheela-na-gig may be the Goddess of Peep Booths.

  29. The first two are quite sexy, I must confess (I am an atheist). I wonder how Jesus managed to become so popular.
