Pythia Socks
Description: The Pythia - the priestess at Delphi - sat on a tripod inside the temple inhaling fumes from the decaying body of the Python, slain by Apollo, and giving oracles - visions of the future - to those lucky enough to gain admittance. These oracles came directly from Apollo, got of prophecy.
Description: This is a tribute to “International Women's Day”, however I believe that every day is and should be celebrated as women’s day. The sacred dragon force is primal and everlasting. Apollo did not slay Pythia. She just slid underneath the surface until it was safe to come out again. Now it’s time for everyone to the appreciate the truth in all her beauty and power. But let’s not forget that no woman or girl is free until all are free. We keep fighting for that outer recognition because that kind of treatment assures the freedom of man as well.
