    Your result for The Mythological Goddess Test...

    Maeve

    Indeed, you are 88% erudite, 100% sensual, 88% martial, and 46% saturnine.

    Maeve was once thought of as a historical queen but is now considered part of the Celtic mythology. She is usually depicted as either a winged sprite, a beautiful elf, or a human woman dressed in only the finest robes.

    She was said to carry two tree-dwelling creatures on either of her shoulders; the squirrel and the raven, resembling her closeness to nature and mysticism. She also frequented the area which was said to hold the entrance to the Otherworld, which is now called the Cave of the Cats.

    Maeve is known for an insatiable sexual appetite and boasting openly of sleeping with thirty men in one day. Once she meets the hero Fergus Mac Roich, 'Son of Great Horse' who himself has a sexual appetite large enough to satisfy her, the tale says that 'She used to know thirty men every day or go with Fergus once.' So that’s good for her. :3

     

    She is most famous as a protagonist in the story of the "Cattle Raid of Cooley", which tells of another dispute between her and her husband, the Connaught chieftain Ailill, with whom she would constantly quarrel.

    Edit: Males, here is the ideal name to register with on OKCupid. Upon getting this result, kellie wrote: “Fergus Mac Roich - Where can I find him?? lol”

    Don't let that chance pass! ;)

    It's been an insane week here :) I have lots of new projects under way and hopefully will have some of them finished within the week and maybe some pics :) Been working on getting Ariane's cool weather stuff made - crocheting mittens, hats, scarves and making her a wee cloak, a coat and some clothes, as well as some for myself and a new coat and cloak for me :) and a few new clothes for my husband too - lots of stuff. We are harvesting tomatoes, green beans, carrots, beets, tons of herbs and getting ready to do fall plantings of peas, carrots, beets, greens, broccoli raab, and other stuff :) the blackberries are taking their time to ripen, but they look plentiful!! I got out a bit too late for getting enough raspberries and blueberries to make jam buuuuuut, we have lots of other stuff coming nicely! My elecampane needs dividing and I am hoping the divine Ms. Heather might take some off my hands (hint!)...This is going to be a super busy fall!!! Got a huge batch of whole grain bread started for tomorrow's Lughnasadh HVPN event and I am going to be making some  pretty braided loaves as well as some swirly herbed rolls out of that. And possibly some apple turnovers with the gorgeous apples I just got from one of our neighbors :) Tomorrow is also some clergy business ;) so that's a bit involved. I am already planning our Equinox Thanksgiving (we celebrate our Thanksgiving at the Equinox - for us, that is the most appropriate time) . So it's been all around busy here. I hope everyone is having a beautiful weekend!! I also hope to have something up on the philosophy group - I beg patience with that!!

    Love love love,

    Niamh

    Russia lost more than a literary great. As he was called, "Russia's conscience" wrote with great courage and integrity, using his art to the fullest to bring a picture of his Russia both to his own countrypeople and the rest of the world. He suffered for his truth and gave others reason to defy.
