Silent Sunday


Venus of Willendorf statuette made between 22,000 and 21,000 BCE. She was found in 1908 at a site near Willendorf a village in Lower Austria near the city of Krems. It's speculated she was a fertility goddess but I like to think people at the time preferred women built like this and made statues to honor them!

My apologies for the long absence. I plan to start posting regularly again!

I think we can be goddesses today! We'll just tell people the statue is to honor us!
