Ladies, what Female Goddess Archetype are you?

A brief psychological overview of Aphrodite
Aphrodite - possesses an extroverted temperament and focuses on relationship/love--she represents goddess of love (boundless eros) --her primary concerns/interests are mature, adult relationships, romance, sexuality, beauty and the arts. One account of Aphroditeās birth states that she rose up from the foam on the ocean as a naked and fully developed beautiful woman; and she rode on a scallop shell.
decoration
Aphroditeās origins, in fact, pre-date the ancient Greeks. She is said to be older than Time. An even more ancient deity exhibiting more aspects than love and beauty, she can also be recognized as Astarte or Ishtar. Her origins were Babylonian/Sumerian. Her domain embraced all of nature: vegetable, animal as well as human. Among her powers were associated with fertility and growth/harvesting of crops, war, descent to the underworld, birth/life/love/death and fate. She was also worshiped as sacred āprostituteā.
decoration
Aphrodite represents the uniting of feminine and masculine energies--through sexual union.
decoration
This goddess includes autonomy similar to āvirginā goddesses yet also includes aspects of the āvulnerableā goddess such as relationship-oriented. Her consciousness is both focused--directed, goal-oriented and diffuse--receptive, taking in the relationship between things. Aphrodite does not suffer, however, as did the āvulnerableā goddesses. Although she is known for her numerous sexual liaisons, she is not bound by any man. However, unlike Athena, Artemis and Hestia--āvirginā goddesses--Aphrodite did give birth to children. Unlike the āvulnerableā goddesses--Demeter, Persephone and Hera--Aphrodite was never a victim of a manās unwanted passion for her; the desires were mutual. Unlike her āvirginā sisters, she values emotional experiences with others more than she desires more solitary goals. Although an independent figure in her own right, this independence does not preclude emotional involvement with others. On the other hand, she is not attracted to permanent relational bonds like her āvulnerableā sisters.
decoration
Aphrodite type woman admires potently masculine men and their capacity for success and combativeness. Her arena of interaction is in the boudoir or the salon. She feels comfortable with multiple relationships or extramarital affairs. She is attracted to creative men and engages with them as their inspirer. She is said to be attracted to the Son/Lover, as her romantic interests were a generation younger than she--those of the sons of her godly peers.

HESTIA...
http://goddess-power.com/hestia.htm
brief psychological overview of Hestia
Hestia - possesses an introverted temperament and is focused on her inner, spiritual world. Hestia is an archetype of inner centeredness. She was known to be mild mannered, upstanding, charitable, as well as a protector. She is the least known of the Olympian goddesses primarily because she never takes part in any disputes or wars. She minds her own business amidst a family of goddesses and gods who engage in āhigh dramaā. Similarly to Athena and Artemis she resists the amorous advances of men, therefore, placing her in the āvirginā goddess category. Her energy is impersonal and detached. Her awareness is focused. Different than Persephone who seeks to please others, Hestiaās focus is for herself. She is grounded and her life has meaning. Unlike Athena & Artemis, Hestia did not venture out to explore the world or wilderness; she remained inside, contained within the hearth. The goddess, Hestia did not take a partner. A Hestia-type woman, today, may prefer to live a more solitary life or live within a community of like-minded, spiritual āsistersā.

The ancient Olympian Goddesses -
a deeper look
Hestia - is the goddess of the hearth--she symbolized the household fire--the flame burning in the hearth. The hearth in each home was the central place around which family members gathered. When a family member left their home to begin a new family, a parcel of fire was taken from the family home to begin the new home fire--symbolizing the continuity of family through the perpetual flame. Each town center also had its communal hearth where the public fire was maintained. The fire of the hestia, meaning hearth, was also used in sacrifices, and, therefore, taking on a sacred character to its citizens. Hestia is an archetype of inner centeredness/inner wisdom
no one would admit it if they were Hestia, (for this is sorrowful and sad) but she reminds me of a Sharon Osbourne type, that continuously allows her husband to keep cheating, and turns the other cheek for decades.
(Ie, Zeus is always cheating on Hera, and she just ..well it just hurts her I'm sure but what is she gonna do?)
HERA
brief psychological overview of Hera
Hera - possesses an extroverted temperament and a focus on issue of outer world control/power. She represents goddess of marriage--concerned with partnership and her relationship as wife to a man. She faces life challenges regarding power, status and leadership. Hera belongs to the relationship-oriented āvulnerableā goddess category, suffering humiliation by her god husband, Zeus. In fact, Zeus was her twin brother. He attempted, unsuccessfully, to court her so he disguised himself as a shivering little bird to obtain pity from her. His ruse worked, when she tenderly drew him to her breast, he returned to his true shape and raped her. She was shamed into marrying him. As her husband, he also shamed her by engaging in numerous extramarital sexual liaisons, further causing her humiliation. Hera had allegedly led a conspiracy against Zeus as an act of revenge.
decoration
A Hera type woman desires a highly successful, powerful man as her partner--one who will share his power and status with her. Traditional in her values, she seeks social prestige and matriarchal rulership through marriage. Her awareness is focused.
decoration
It is believed that the myth of the conflictual marriage of Zeus and Hera relates back to the time when a barbarous northern tribe invaded Greece around 1000 B.C.E., bringing with them their masculinized sky gods. The ancient Greeks at this time were believed to be revering the mother goddess and celebrating her magical powers. Historians suggest that the invaders, occupying this feminine culture, overpowered them and forced their submission to the invadersā beliefs. From the perspective of myth and psychology, the feminine culture of ancient Greece was ārapedā and coerced into āmarriageā to the barbarous invader tribe. In this way, Hera represents the uniting of feminine and masculine energies.

I would Say I'm more like Aphrodite... Although I'm in a relationship now.. & he's an older man.. lol..
Out of all the goddesses, I believe I'm more like her.. She seems strong and doesn't let the power of a man "intimidate" her.. She possesses the power to win a mans heart.. not "soft" like the other goddesses. Not evil, but def not a saint.. I'm no prostitute.. but def not afraid of being sexual with my man/interest.. I don't go from man to man.. if you get me.. I go from man to man in the aspect that, when one relationship fails, it doesn't take long for me to "fall" again...

Posted by PootyButtthere are quite a few online.
Is there an easy breezy quiz to take or do we have to use our brains? I don't feel like using my brain currently.
I took some, and one said i'm Athena type, and the other Persephone, I would say i'm both, as I can see myself on both of them. but mostly the latter, as that's the consistency of my relationships.
Athena, I like, too, that's one I can relate too. My husband is my Apollo, and my Hades, except a less cruel hades, he's more the sweet lovely sensitive kind man. so he is merged as APolloades. lol š š

they should have a god archetype for males.

are you a Zeus God, all knowing all seeing,
Hephaestus God of Fire, Crafts, Metal (sounds like he's in a heavy metal band)
Apollo, God of music, arts, knowledge
Hades, God of Underworld
Ares, god of War
Hermes, God of Travel, communication. (he sounds like a Mercurial man)
Poseidon, God of the Sea, (sounds like a Neptunian man)
Posted by MagicMonaAthena sounds like a "mind" woman, all in the head, with knowledge and wisdom. (the way they describe her)
im Athena. all the way. she's always been my fav. goddess.
so someone who has Air in the chart. I see you have Aquarius rising, that fits for you.

Athena (į¼ĪøĪ·Ī½į¾¶, AthÄnĆ¢)
Goddess of reason, wisdom, intelligence, skill, peace, warfare, battle strategy, and handicrafts. According to most traditions, she was born from Zeus's forehead, fully formed and armored. She is depicted as being crowned with a crested helm, armed with shield and spear, and wearing the aegis over a long dress. Poets describe her as "grey-eyed" or having especially bright, keen eyes. She is a special patron of heroes such as Odysseus. She is the patron of the city Athens (which was named after her) and is attributed to various inventions in arts and literature. Her symbol is the olive tree. She is commonly shown as being accompanied by her sacred animal, the owl. Her Roman counterpart is Minerva.
the photo/drawing of the woman above is Athena with the owl.

The ancient Olympian Goddesses -
a deeper look
Hera - represents the feminine archetype of wife and matriarch of the family; she thrives in the partnership of marriage, particularly to a powerful husband whose high degree of success and prestige privileges her to enjoy position of status and power. Hera, the Greek goddess, presided over marriage and embodies the instinct to become mated.
decoration
Mythological history: Hera was married to the supreme deity, Zeus. He was her only husband. Her role in Greek mythology was goddess of marriage. She suffered from his numerous affairs with other goddesses and mortals, alike. She was said to punish these participants in harsh ways. The ancient Greek writers appear to portray her as a stereotypical nagging, evil-tempered woman full of petty revenges. However, prior to the Greeks, the more ancient cult that worshipped her celebrated in her honor the hieros gamos, the āSacred Marriageā. This sacred festival celebrates the Earth Goddess and the Sky god regenerating the cosmos with their lovemaking. This ancient Hera goddess in earlier matriarchal times was a complete, whole woman in her own right. The Zeus--Hera marriage of later Greeks refers to the barbarous hunter tribe who invaded Greece at the end of the second millennium B.C.E and imposing their masculine deities--forcing a āmarriageā between the matriarchal cults and patriarchal dominance.
decoration
Psychologically, Hera belongs to the āvulnerableā goddess category, suffering humiliation at the hand of her husband/deity Zeus through his shameless infidelities.
one thing about hera, is that she wants the most POWERFUL successful man,
which is Zeus,
so she has to take the good with the bad, which is turning a blind eye.
Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena, are the three EXTROVERTED ladies.
the rest are actually introverted.

Aphrodite - represents the feminine archetype of relationship and love. She is adored for her beauty, her gentle manner and her amorous adventures. She has been experienced by men as fascinatingly exotic, a seductress. Her influence is of civilizing āmanākind through her gifts of art, culture, and in particular, her disarming manner of relating. Aphroditeās divine gift to us is Eros, her divine son, also known as Cupid (Amor). Aphroditeās gift of loving relationship has the power to melt defenses, leaving her lover disarmed and open--allowing the magic of eros to flow between them.
decoration
Mythological history:Most scholars recognize Aphroditeās ancient ancestors from the Sumerian goddess, Ishtar, circa 3000-1800 B.C.E. much earlier than the Greek myths. In Greek myth, Aphroditeās father is the ancient Sky God, Uranus, who came before the Greek gods of Olympus. At this period, priestesses served her in temples of love by making love with men as ritual offering. Eros and procreation were considered holy. Any child born to the priestesses in these encounters would belong to the temple of the goddess.
decoration
ā¢ Greek mythology accounts that Aphrodite was born from the severed genitals of the Sky Father--an inescapable connection to male sexuality. It was Cronos (Roman god, Saturn--āTimeā) who severed and threw his fatherās genitals into the ocean. Although born as a result of a seemingly violent act, white foam spread as sperm and mixing with the sea -- from which Aphrodite emerged--as a fully-grown goddess standing on a scallop shell.
ā¢ Aphroditeās choices of men for lovers were the second-generation Olympian gods, in other words, the sons of her peers
ā¢ Aphrodite, although she did have one husband, also engaged in numerous love affairs. She had a long-term passionate affair with Ares, God of War, with whom she bore several children. She also had other lovers--gods as well as mortals-- with some of whom she bore children.
ā¢ Aphroditeās transformative power--Love - transforming the ordinary, the mundane into something beautiful and special through Love.
ā¢ Aphrodite was known to become angry and cast revenge when mortals refused to honor the Goddess of Love or her sacred rites.

I don't go from man to man.. if you get me.. I go from man to man in the aspect that, when one relationship fails, it doesn't take long for me to "fall" again...

Aphrodite - represents the feminine archetype of relationship and love. She is adored for her beauty, her gentle manner and her amorous adventures. She has been experienced by men as fascinatingly exotic, a seductress. Her influence is of civilizing āmanākind through her gifts of art, culture, and in particular, her disarming manner of relating. Aphroditeās divine gift to us is Eros, her divine son, also known as Cupid (Amor). Aphroditeās gift of loving relationship has the power to melt defenses, leaving her lover disarmed and open--allowing the magic of eros to flow between them.

Mythological history:Most scholars recognize Aphroditeās ancient ancestors from the Sumerian goddess, Ishtar, circa 3000-1800 B.C.E. much earlier than the Greek myths. In Greek myth, Aphroditeās father is the ancient Sky God, Uranus, who came before the Greek gods of Olympus. At this period, priestesses served her in temples of love by making love with men as ritual offering. Eros and procreation were considered holy. Any child born to the priestesses in these encounters would belong to the temple of the goddess.
decoration
ā¢ Greek mythology accounts that Aphrodite was born from the severed genitals of the Sky Father--an inescapable connection to male sexuality. It was Cronos (Roman god, Saturn--āTimeā) who severed and threw his fatherās genitals into the ocean. Although born as a result of a seemingly violent act, white foam spread as sperm and mixing with the sea -- from which Aphrodite emerged--as a fully-grown goddess standing on a scallop shell.
ā¢ Aphroditeās choices of men for lovers were the second-generation Olympian gods, in other words, the sons of her peers
ā¢ Aphrodite, although she did have one husband, also engaged in numerous love affairs. She had a long-term passionate affair with Ares, God of War, with whom she bore several children. She also had other lovers--gods as well as mortals-- with some of whom she bore children.
ā¢ Aphroditeās transformative power--Love - transforming the ordinary, the mundane into something beautiful and special through Love.
ā¢ Aphrodite was known to become angry and cast revenge when mortals refused to honor the Goddess of Love or her sacred rites.

It is believed that the myth of the conflictual marriage of Zeus and Hera relates back to the time when a barbarous northern tribe invaded Greece around 1000 B.C.E., bringing with them their masculinized sky gods. The ancient Greeks at this time were believed to be revering the mother goddess and celebrating her magical powers. Historians suggest that the invaders, occupying this feminine culture, overpowered them and forced their submission to the invadersā beliefs. From the perspective of myth and psychology, the feminine culture of ancient Greece was ārapedā and coerced into āmarriageā to the barbarous invader tribe. In this way, Hera represents the uniting of feminine and masculine energies.

The ancient Olympian Goddesses -
a deeper look
Hera - represents the feminine archetype of wife and matriarch of the family; she thrives in the partnership of marriage, particularly to a powerful husband whose high degree of success and prestige privileges her to enjoy position of status and power. Hera, the Greek goddess, presided over marriage and embodies the instinct to become mated.
decoration
Mythological history: Hera was married to the supreme deity, Zeus. He was her only husband. Her role in Greek mythology was goddess of marriage. She suffered from his numerous affairs with other goddesses and mortals, alike. She was said to punish these participants in harsh ways. The ancient Greek writers appear to portray her as a stereotypical nagging, evil-tempered woman full of petty revenges. However, prior to the Greeks, the more ancient cult that worshipped her celebrated in her honor the hieros gamos, the āSacred Marriageā. This sacred festival celebrates the Earth Goddess and the Sky god regenerating the cosmos with their lovemaking. This ancient Hera goddess in earlier matriarchal times was a complete, whole woman in her own right. The Zeus--Hera marriage of later Greeks refers to the barbarous hunter tribe who invaded Greece at the end of the second millennium B.C.E and imposing their masculine deities--forcing a āmarriageā between the matriarchal cults and patriarchal dominance.
decoration
Psychologically, Hera belongs to the āvulnerableā goddess category, suffering humiliation at the hand of her husband/deity Zeus through his shameless infidelities.
I don't think so. Perhaps subconsciously that is what I desire, since I've always attracted such men? The ones from influential families or being leaders in some way...
I'm not married though. So my idea of marriage is mainly based on what I've seen and been taught by my mother and late grandmother. And they both would qualify as Hera type.
Psychologically, Hera belongs to the āvulnerableā goddess category, suffering humiliation at the hand of her husband/deity Zeus through his shameless infidelities.
Wow! I would definitely not want to be her.
Staying in an unfaithful relationship is not worth it, no matter the amount of prestige it may bring.
Since I've seen the effect cheating can have on women psychologically, I'd consider myself a fool if I were to continue in one such relationship.

look at what happened to Shania Twain, Sharon Osbourne, (she is a HERA type) who stayed with her man for decades. and Hilary Clinton. I don't know why she stays since he doesn't seem to respect her at all. š¢
it really is about the power.
Shania Twain isn't Hera type, but she found out her best friend and husband cheated on her, betrayal of two people.
it will hurt her so much!! two people she thought she trusted and loved,
all having an affair for years!!
I bet that psychologically messed her up bad, her heart and head and soul a mess.
the only consolation was that her ex best friend's husband and her grieved together of both the betrayals.
I think Shania Twain isn't Hera,
but she's more Virgin Goddess, maybe Athena.

Artemis is an INNOCENT, I like her the best,
but she's the goddess of the HUNT.

but Zeus was soooooo in love with her, and wanted to impregnante her. but she begged to find a way to get away from that sex offender.
so she ran and ran and turned into a tree!
and Hera was sooooo jealous of her too, I don't know why, cause she should be jealous of Aphrodite,
maybe because hera is all about power and mating with a PRESTIGOUS man.
and Artemis is opposite of everything hera respresented.

Posted by CAPR1LICIOUSPosted by lisabethur8I scored 31 for Hera and 28 for Aphrodite, if that counts for anything. Lol.
one thing about hera, is that she wants the most POWERFUL successful man,
which is Zeus,
so she has to take the good with the bad, which is turning a blind eye.
Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena, are the three EXTROVERTED ladies.
the rest are actually introverted.
Do they mean being extroverted in a relationship? I guess that would be true about me. Even in a relationship with socially popular guys, they always take a backseat once the initial stages have passed.
Quite frustrating at times...I prefer men to be in charge. But I know I can be a control freak. So, I guess they think it better to let me lead. ?
My current relationship has been different, thankfully.click to expand
you just need a man who can hold his own and allow you to lead and be wise to your wisdom.

uh your 2nd is actually Persephone!!! i'm high first on Persephone, then Athena, then Artemis.
so you were in abusive cruel relationshps before to be in a Persephone?
this is me.
Persephone - possessing an introverted temperament (polar opposite to Hera) with issues of inner world control/ power--she represents the goddess of the underworld--concerned with the world of spirit, the occult, matters associated with death. She is mystical, visionary and often possesses spirit guides. Her awareness is diffuse. Persephone belongs to the relationship-oriented āvulnerableā goddess category having a very close relationship with her mother, Demeter. Another aspect of her vulnerability, Persephone was abducted, taken to the Underworld and raped by Hades. Her mother, Demeter mourned, sorrowfully, in the face of her abduction.
decoration
Persephone is said to have a younger counterpart to herself--Kore--another name for the young Persephone. Psychologically, this may be a representation of two or three levels of this archetype: Kore, the Maiden, Persephone (or Demeter), the mature Woman, and Hecate, the Wise Crone.
decoration
Persephone type woman is more attracted to the spiritual nature rather than the physicality of her partner. She may unconsciously attract destructive relationships or potentially controlling partners. As an unconscious protective measure, she may choose a safe alternative in a younger, non-threatening partner whom she can mother.

I don't go for PHYSICAL aspects of men. I notice that. I usually go for a spiritual connection.
or that I see something good in them, and a powerful connection, and need to be protected and loved,
and my mother in real life NEVER wanted me to marry or be with a man because that meant I would be separated from her.
it all rings true for me. lol so weird.

Psychologically, Hera belongs to the āvulnerableā goddess category, suffering humiliation at the hand of her husband/deity Zeus through his shameless infidelities.
I don't think so. Perhaps subconsciously that is what I desire, since I've always attracted such men? The ones from influential families or being leaders in some way...
I'm not married though. So my idea of marriage is mainly based on what I've seen and been taught by my mother and late grandmother. And they both would qualify as Hera type.

Wow! I would definitely not want to be her.
Staying in an unfaithful relationship is not worth it, no matter the amount of prestige it may bring.
Since I've seen the effect cheating can have on women psychologically, I'd consider myself a fool if I were to continue in one such relationship.
look at what happened to Shania Twain, Sharon Osbourne, (she is a HERA type) who stayed with her man for decades. and Hilary Clinton. I don't know why she stays since he doesn't seem to respect her at all. š¢
it really is about the power.
In case of Hillary and Bill Clinton, I think their marriage has been reduced to a good friendship and professional partnership. Perhaps it was always that way and was what brought them together.
The worst part about cheating is that our society wants to turn a blind-eye to it and expect the women to not make a big deal either. We tell them they would be worse off if they were to quit. There is very less REAL support that such women receive.
My friend's mother caught certain evidence of her husband's affair last year. The news devastated her in such a way that she was unable to function normally for months, so she couldn't take any steps to verify the information either.
The husband is a very influential and well respected man, so no one was willing to believe her...Her children included. They sent her for psychiatric counseling instead. Every psychiatrist said she was delusional, had a personality disorder...One even went so far as to say that she was borderline schizophrenic.
She felt absolutely isolated throughout this time, even though she was receiving a lot of support in the form of psychological therapies, but that didn't matter because no was willing to believe her or check the authenticity of the information she had received.
Her son finally decided to do it for her. The information turned out to be true. The investigation also revealed that the husband had had multiple affairs for the entire period that they were married.
The state of the mental health services, even in our times, is so disappointing.click to expand
aw i'm sorry to hear that.
that's terrible!! she cant be open with her husband because he's so powerful.
he probably is soooo controlling too.
powerful men usually are. š¢
they want to do what they want and you just gotta trust in what they do.
if they want to go off and have affairs, you must turn a blind eye.
or if they are the honest types, just straight up say, 'i'm all for open relationship"
which doesn't go well for many women.
and even for men too.

one thing about hera, is that she wants the most POWERFUL successful man,
which is Zeus,
so she has to take the good with the bad, which is turning a blind eye.
Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena, are the three EXTROVERTED ladies.
the rest are actually introverted.
Do they mean being extroverted in a relationship? I guess that would be true about me. Even in a relationship with socially popular guys, they always take a backseat once the initial stages have passed.
Quite frustrating at times...I prefer men to be in charge. But I know I can be a control freak. So, I guess they think it better to let me lead. ?
My current relationship has been different, thankfully.
you just need a man who can hold his own and allow you to lead and be wise to your wisdom.
allow to trust you to lead.

Are you surprised you got Persephone? Because I was, I thought I'd be Athena, but when I read more deeply:
"Persephone type woman is more attracted to the spiritual nature rather than the physicality of her partner. She may unconsciously attract destructive relationships or potentially controlling partners. As an unconscious protective measure, she may choose a safe alternative in a younger, non-threatening partner whom she can mother."
this is surprisingly fitting. And I've always liked Hecate.

According to the quiz results, I'm Hera. ?
so youre the male version of Zeus's wife?
they should have a god archetype for males.
for example,
are you a Zeus God, all knowing all seeing,
Hephaestus God of Fire, Crafts, Metal (sounds like he's in a heavy metal band)
Apollo, God of music, arts, knowledge
Hades, God of Underworld
Ares, god of War
Hermes, God of Travel, communication. (he sounds like a Mercurial man)
Poseidon, God of the Sea, (sounds like a Neptunian man)
I thought you were male. lol
then I saw your profile says female. š š
ok, never mind.
and really?? Hera??
that's awful!!!! she always turns a blind eye to her husband's infidelities.
while he is spreading his seed around everywhere.
Strange, because it's doesn't go with my INFP personality. INFP are supposed to be very romantic.
many of them are EXTROVERTED goddesses, except for a couple.
does this describe you for HERA::
A Hera type woman desires a highly successful, powerful man as her partner--one who will share his power and status with her. Traditional in her values, she seeks social prestige and matriarchal rulership through marriage. Her awareness is focused.

It is believed that the myth of the conflictual marriage of Zeus and Hera relates back to the time when a barbarous northern tribe invaded Greece around 1000 B.C.E., bringing with them their masculinized sky gods. The ancient Greeks at this time were believed to be revering the mother goddess and celebrating her magical powers. Historians suggest that the invaders, occupying this feminine culture, overpowered them and forced their submission to the invadersā beliefs. From the perspective of myth and psychology, the feminine culture of ancient Greece was ārapedā and coerced into āmarriageā to the barbarous invader tribe. In this way, Hera represents the uniting of feminine and masculine energies.

The ancient Olympian Goddesses -
a deeper look
Hera - represents the feminine archetype of wife and matriarch of the family; she thrives in the partnership of marriage, particularly to a powerful husband whose high degree of success and prestige privileges her to enjoy position of status and power. Hera, the Greek goddess, presided over marriage and embodies the instinct to become mated.
decoration
Mythological history: Hera was married to the supreme deity, Zeus. He was her only husband. Her role in Greek mythology was goddess of marriage. She suffered from his numerous affairs with other goddesses and mortals, alike. She was said to punish these participants in harsh ways. The ancient Greek writers appear to portray her as a stereotypical nagging, evil-tempered woman full of petty revenges. However, prior to the Greeks, the more ancient cult that worshipped her celebrated in her honor the hieros gamos, the āSacred Marriageā. This sacred festival celebrates the Earth Goddess and the Sky god regenerating the cosmos with their lovemaking. This ancient Hera goddess in earlier matriarchal times was a complete, whole woman in her own right. The Zeus--Hera marriage of later Greeks refers to the barbarous hunter tribe who invaded Greece at the end of the second millennium B.C.E and imposing their masculine deities--forcing a āmarriageā between the matriarchal cults and patriarchal dominance.

I took some, and one said i'm Athena type, and the other Persephone, I would say i'm both, as I can see myself on both of them. but mostly the latter, as that's the consistency of my relationships.
Athena, I like, too, that's one I can relate too. My husband is my Apollo, and my Hades, except a less cruel hades, he's more the sweet lovely sensitive kind man. so he is merged as APolloades. lol š š
ooohh edit
there's one on this site too btw
http://goddess-power.com/questions.htm
ok!!! that's awesome. post it too!!!
and see if it is you.
Libra placements seem more "Athena" though in my opinion. but you are more sexual,
and Athena is not sexual. She's one of the VIRGIN goddesses. (I see more VIRGO influence with Athena) due to the virgin.
so Aphrodite seems to fit you very much.
The following are the scores I got...
Hera: 15
Demeter: -1
Athena: -2
Persephone: -29
Aphrodite: 33
Artemis: 0
Hestia: 0
So I was correct about being more like Aphrodite. Second up was Hera which is funny to me. I think my libra placements make me like her because I want a family, to cater to my man, I'm a homemaker, I like social gatherings and to be hostess, baking, interior design.. I do also want a successful man but never thought of myself as far as wanting "POWER". But I also like beauty, clothes, love, sex.. romance, like Aphrodite.. Not afraid to be the "life of the party" ... flirt and mingle..
Interesting.. This was fun! š
uh your 2nd is actually Persephone!!! i'm high first on Persephone, then Athena, then Artemis.
so you were in abusive cruel relationshps before to be in a Persephone?

Basically, I was single for 2 years before my relationship now..
& was romantically intimate (no commitment) between the time with a Gemini)
My dating during the last 4 years..
Scorp 7 years, almost married and had a child- broke up 3 years ago (2014)
After (3 months after my breakup), a Gemini that I worked with started to peruse me.. I dated him for 8 months, then found out he was still married after all that time
Now I'm with my Cap! š we're 7 months in.
I just posted that to show that I can be committed to 1 man at a time but it doesn't take me long to move one after my relationship fails.

Are you Athena?
http://goddess-power.com/athena.htm
Athena - extroverted and independent temperament--represents the goddess of wisdom and civilization--concerned with career, motivated by the desire for achievement, acquiring knowledge, she possesses a keen intellect, concerned with education, culture, social issues and politics. Athena is fatherās daughter. She enters the male arena in the outer world. Athena is also known as one of the three Amazon women. (The myth of the Amazon women spoke of a society of fierce warrior women who lived entirely without men.) The story of her birth: she emerged, fully-grown, out of the Head of Zeus.
decoration
She is an androgynous āvirginā goddess who develops a relationship with her own inner masculine part rather than partaking in marriage to an outer male. Her awareness is focused. She relates to men as intellectual companion with whom she shares ambitions, career goals, and ideals. If a primarily Athenian-type woman chooses partnership, she seeks one who possesses sufficient self-confidence and who will appreciate her ambition and autonomy.

The ancient Olympian Goddesses -
a deeper look
Athena - represents the feminine archetype for logical thinking -- as a woman, not as a man. Her virgin goddess energy can be deeply transformed or sublimated in highly creative ways. By nature the virgin goddesses are more self-directed, self-motivated, focused rather than diffuse in their thinking. She is goal oriented. As a result, virgin goddess types tend toward independence and autonomy more so than their partnership-oriented vulnerable goddess sisters.
--
Athena sounds like she wants an EQUAL, Amazonian woman, who loves INDEPENDENCE.
also there is, Artemis, she's one of my faves, as she loves babies and animals lots. Protector of the innocents.
http://goddess-power.com/artemis.htm
A brief psychological overview of Artemis
Artemis - possesses an introverted and independent temperament (polar opposite to Athena)--represents the goddess of Nature--concerned with matters of the outdoors, animals, environmental protection, womenās communities--she is practical, adventurous, athletic and preferring solitude. She symbolizes regenerative earth power over all living things. Both Artemis and Athena bore arms as protectress goddesses. Historically, Artemis was born quickly by her mother, Leto. However, due to a curse from Hera, Artemis was the one who, immediately following her own birth, assisted her motherās delivery of her brother in a long and difficult labor. She became known as the patroness of childbirth.
decoration
Artemis, armed with bow and arrow, possesses the power to inflict plagues and death or to heal. She is known as the protectress of little children, baby animals and, yet, she also loves the hunt.
decoration
Artemis is one of the āvirginā androgynous goddesses. Due to her well-integrated masculine energy and independence, Artemis does not possess much need for a man to complete her. Her awareness is focused. A predominately Artemis type woman may enjoy a companion who will work along side her sharing her practical pursuits--parallel relatedness in shared activities, yet, each one retaining their strong and distinct identities in their fairly separate lives. They may come together enjoying a deep, intuitive connection with minimal āchatterā. Artemis, the goddess, was known to shun men.

The ancient Olympian Goddesses -
a deeper look
Artemis - represents the feminine archetype of Nature & the Wilds--virgin, pure, primitive-- of wild places--Mother of Creatures. The function of virgins was to dispense the Motherās grace to heal, to prophesy, to perform sacred dances, to wail for the dead. Artemis' image at Ephesus depicts a torso covered with breasts conveying her as the fertile nurturer of all living things. She was also the Huntress, killer/destroyer of the very creatures she brought forth--demonstrating the light and dark side of the goddess.
