Have a beautiful Day of Aphrodite aka Venus' Day aka Frigg's Day aka Friday 🌹
For #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth I'm introducing Native American deities 🌎
#Xochiquetzal is an #Aztec colleague of Aphrodite. She is the goddess of beauty, and love, the protectress of young mothers and patroness of pregnancy, childbirth, and crafts typically practiced by women such as weaving and embroidery. She is depicted as an alluring and youthful woman, richly attired.
This is a new painting in pastel on paper of Xochiquetzal, the Precious Flower, the teotl who is love and flowers.
