FIGS*! *(The type of figs prevalent around the Mediterranean and Middle East, not the kind of figs in south and east asia, I’ll get to those another time hopefully) Now considered a symbol of the womb, figs have been cultivated since the VERY OLD TIMES. Fig leaves were iconically worn by Adam and Eve, who in some non western translations of the Bible, ate the forbidden FIGS, not apples. Figs are also from heaven, according to the Quran. Long before that, fig wood was used by the ancient Egyptians for mummy ‘coffins’, while the fruit was a symbol of the Earth goddess Hathor.

She lives a chill existence; paddling in lakes, snacking on blueberry bushes, scratching her back with pine trees she pulls out of the earth like carrots, and dozing on sunlit hill-sides while goats climb through her hair.

Zeus basically was like, soz sis but I only own everything ABOVE the world, not UNDER the world, sooo idk lol. SO Demeter said Fine Then,...
