New Challenge! 13 Goddesses in 13 Weeks

Taking cue from Ayala's 29 FACES CHALLENGE in February, the Goddess work we are doing in LIFEBOOK classes and to celebrate my 10 years of marriage (in May) I'd like to propose you a new challenge:
13 GODDESSES IN 13 WEEKS
I've been a mythology fan for all my life. I read about myths from all over the world, have hundreds of books and I've also written a couple of articles some years ago.
My favorite myths are those of the Celts and King Arthur's. My nickname in the Pagan area is Arianrhod SilverWheel. Arianrhod is a Welsh Goddess of Aurora Borealis.
This is the time of the year when the MOTHER GODDESS (Nature) awakens from her winter "death".
So why don't we celebrate HER?
If you choose to participate in this challenge, here are the "rules":
 link it to http://timelessrituals.blogspot.com
  • Grab the button and put it in your blog for others to view it and read about our challenge. 
  •  
  • Become a fan of my blog or subscribe by email to receive news about the challenge.
  •  
  • Each Monday, starting from March 5th, you'll be able to add a link to your work in my weekly 13 Goddesses post. You'll have one week for working on it. See below the subjects for every week. You don't have to stick to the subjects, though. Do what you feel like to. Tell us something about the Goddess you choose: who she is, her legend etc.
  •  
  • Any medium accepted: drawing, painting, bead work, woodcarving, papier maché, mixed media etc. And you don't have to stick to a physical representation of a Goddess. You can also use her symbols, objects or anything related to her.
  •  
  • Tag your posts "13 Goddesses" so visitors will be able to see all your creations together
That's all folks!
Read below the 13 subjects for each week and GOOD JOB WITH THE GODDESS!
- March 5th: Celtic or Nordic
- March 12th: Babylonian
- March 19th: Japanese

  3. I can't wait to see all the Goddesses ... I would love to participate but am impossible with deadlines ... it seems that I've had enough of that in my other life ... perhaps someday but not now.

    Happiness to all.

  6. what a great project! If I didn't have my own insane project to contend with I'd so sign up - in particular would love to represent some minor deities in the major pantheons as well as some little known Native American, from North to South America, represented. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!

  10. Thank you for visiting my post on zentangle Ganesha. Your challenge is interesting. However, please clarify What is 'Induist' theme for April 16?

    Is it related to Hinduism?

  11. Hi BlackPumpkin,

    13 is my favorite number and, well, who doesn't like a goddess? :-)

    I would love to participate, but I can only draw with words. In your guidance, you said that participants "can also use [a goddess's] symbols, objects or anything related to her." Can I "paint" pictures with words?

    Let me know, for this sounds like something I would really like to do. Please don't feel compelled to say yes, to spare my feelings. I would be happy to just enjoy the colors and shapes, too.

    Hugs!
