VictoriaNew episode of WitchLit out today with @TamsinSays to discuss the Geosophia by the late Jake Stratton-Kent. I can’t say we stayed completely on topic because it’s always a delight to chat with Tamsin.
BrewminateAncient Greece and Rome did not treat chosen death as a single moral category.
A voluntary death could be praised as philosophical courage, framed as political resistance, condemned as shame, or staged as public spectacle.
The final act mattered because honor, virtue, reputation, and memory survived the body.

Her DoingFrom @joannechocolat
#Anyte of Tegea (#Greece: early 3rd century BC) was an Arcadian poet. She is named as one of the nine outstanding women poets of antiquity by Antipater of Thessalonica in the Palatine Anthology.
No reliable information about her life survives, and she can only be approximately dated by the style of her work. She was known for her #epigrams, and she introduced rural themes to the genre.
Only one story about Anyte's life is preserved. #Pausanias claims that Anyte was once visited by the god #Asclepius while she was asleep, and told to go to Naupactus to visit a certain blind man there. On doing so, the man was cured, and he built a temple to Asclepius.
Though so little is known about Anyte's life, more of her #poetry survives than any other ancient #Greek woman, with the exception of #Sappho.
Personal note: Joanne's 'Celebrating Women' posts never fail to send me down *multiple* rabbit holes, and this one was a veritable warren of warrens! 😄 But interesting!

369ONE SheWhy dream interpretation is universal
Across every continent and tradition, dreams have been regarded as significant, both spiritually and practically. Whether it’s a shamanic vision, a prophetic dream, or a symbolic puzzle to decipher, dreams have often held sacred status. Why? Because they bypass the logical mind and speak in the language of symbols, sensations, and emotion.
