Have a beautiful first Day of Aphrodite aka Venus' Day aka Frigg's Day aka Friday. May the new year bring love and pleasure into your life 🌹
"There is at hand a good relish, very inviting, and Thasian wine and ointment and fillets. For Kypris [Aphrodite] dwells where plenty is, but among those who are hard up Aphrodite will not stay."
Athenaeus, Deipnosophistae 1.28
🏛 Celestial Venus, Roman sculpture, 2-3rd Century CE
Have a courageous Day of Ares aka Mars' Day aka Tuesday 🗡️
Ares steers his chariot towards a #NewYear 🍾
"The Amazones of the Doiantian plain were by no means gentle, well-conducted folk; they were brutal and aggressive, and their main concern in life was war. War, indeed, was in their blood, daughters of Ares as they were."
Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 2.989
