Fourth in my 2023 Pride line is the image of Kybele, the Great Mother, Mother of the Gods.

Cybele / Kybele is the Phrygian Mother of the Gods, syncretized and identified with the Greek Titan Rhea, and worshiped in Rome as Magna Mater. It is her cult into which Dionysos was initiated to cure him of the madness inflicted by Hera. She is famous for the frenzied dancing and drumming of her rites, and for her gender-deviant priesthood – who may have included transwomen and/or eunuchs.

On the front of the talisman the goddess is shown on her throne, flanked by lions. She holds a pomegranate in one hand and a frame drum in the other. On the back is an image of two pine trees, like that found at her shrine in a temple of Aesclepius.

This talisman was commissioned by author Ariana Serpentine as a part of her personal devotional work, made available to the public by her astounding generosity, and included in this year’s Pride line at her particular request. You can find Ariana’s book, Sacred Gender, wherever fine books are sold.

* Talisman is one inch in diameter with an image on each side.

* Available as a pendant with an upeye suitable for a 3mm chain or with three rings suitable for stringing as a rosary piece.

* Available in sterling silver or red bronze.

This piece is not consecrated. That is your responsibility to do in accordance with your tradition or gnosis.

Coatlicue ❤️ Coatlicue, cuyo nombre significa "falda de serpientes", era la diosa terrestre de la vida y la muerte. Su esposo era Mixcoatl, la serpiente de las nubes y dios de la persecución.Coatlicue dió a luz a Huitzilopochtli luego de que una bola de plumas cayó en el templo donde estaba barriendo y la tocó. Ese embarazo extraño ofendió a sus otros cuatrocientos hijos que fueron animados por Coyolxauhqui a matar a su deshonrada madre.Sin embargo, Huitzilopochtli salió de la matriz de su madre completamente armado y la salvó. Huitzilopochtli le cortó la cabeza a su hermana, Coyolxauhqui y la tiró al cielo donde se convirtió en la Luna.Alfonso Caso, la describe: "Coatlicue tiene en los mitos aztecas una importancia especial porque es la madre de los dioses, es decir, del Sol, la Luna y las estrellas. ... El arte azteca, al representar a esta diosa con toda la originalidad bárbara de un pueblo joven y enérgico, realizó una obra maestra. La colosal estatua de Coatlicue del Museo Nacional supera en fuerza expresiva a las creaciones más refinadas de pueblos que, como el maya, concebían a la vida y a los dioses en una forma más serena. Lleva una falda formada por serpientes entrelazadas, de acuerdo con su nombre, sostenida por otra serpiente a manera de cinturón. Un collar de manos y corazones que rematan en un cráneo humano oculta en parte el pecho de la diosa. Sus pies y sus manos están armados de garras, porque es la deidad insaciable que se alimenta de los cadáveres de los hombres; por eso se llama también "la comedora de inmundicias". Pero sus pechos cuelgan exhaustos porque ha amamantado a los dioses y a los hombres, porque todos ellos son sus hijos, y por eso se la llama "nuestra madre", Tonántzin, Teteoinan, "la madre de los dioses", y Toci, "nuestra abuela". #coatlicue #azteca #aztec #cultura #culturamexicana #mexico 🇲🇽 #tenochtitlan #mx #god #aztecgods #gods #dios #diosesbueno #mesoamerica #culturaazteca #madredelosdioses #mother #motherofthegods #madre https://www.instagram.com/p/B-MqOANDTxF/?igshid=ck6d56dlb8ty

The Old Orthodox Icon "St.Nicholas the Wonder-Worker" 17th century “If anything happens to God, we have always got St Nicholas” Throughout the Christian churches, it is difficult to think of a Saint as well-loved as St Nicholas the Wonder-Worker, honoured on Dec 6th and every Thursday of the week. A fourth-century Bishop of Myra famous for defending Orthodoxy against heresy during the First Ecumenical Council, there are also numerous miracles associated with his life. However it is the miracles wrought after his repose, even up to the present day, that lead St Nicholas to be honoured as a “Wonder-worker” Старинная Православная Икона "Николай Чудотворец" 17 век Святитель Николай Чудотворец — один из наиболее почитаемых христианских святых #christ #christian #christianicon#christianiconography #church #god#jesus #icon #motherofthegod #motherofthevirgin #nicolas #orhtodox #orthodoxicons #orthodoxy #russia #богородица #божияматерь #иисус #иисусхристос #икона #креститель #николайчудотворец #православие #православнаяикона #россия #христианство #храм #церковь https://www.instagram.com/replicaticon/p/BvOPZoHFr-w/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18njhdwydgobj

The Old Orthodox Icon "The Archangel Michael" 18th century (1741) Старинная Православная Икона "Архангел Михаил" 18 век (1741 год) The Arhangel Mihael, also called the Archistrategus Michael, is the commander of the heavenly host. In Russia, he was venerated as the patron saint of princes and warriors. Архангел Михаил написан стоящим на берегу реки Северной Двины на фоне Архангельска. Он изображен в воинских доспехах. Смыслом такой композиции является обращение молящихся к небесному покровителю города, а через его посредничество - к Спасителю, представленному в верхней части иконы в образе "Царя Царей" и "Великого Архиерея" с предстоящими Богоматерью, Иоанном Предтечей и архангелами. #archangel #christ #christian #christianicon #christianiconography #church #god #jesus #icon #michael #motherofthegod #motherofthevirgin #orhtodox #orthodoxicons #orthodoxy #russia #russianorthodox #savior #архангел #богородица #божияматерь #иисус #иисусхристос #икона #креститель #православие #православнаяикона #россия #спаситель #христианство #храм #царь #царьцарей #церковь https://www.instagram.com/replicaticon/p/Bu8fcfjlxu8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=73mlq1a3bpjh
