Personal Musings

Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos — the Fates — didn’t fight wars or wield weapons, but they controlled destiny itself. In this piece, I dive into their quiet power and what it means to have control over life’s threads in a world that often tries to cut them.

The tale of Hades and Persephone is often romanticized — but the original myth reads more like a kidnapping. Let’s look at how this story evolved and why it still sparks debate about love, consent, and transformation.

She gave Theseus the key to escape the labyrinth… and was abandoned for it. Ariadne’s story is a painful reminder that women’s contributions often go unnoticed — and why rewriting her narrative is an act of justice.

Athena is often praised as the goddess of wisdom, strategy, and civilization. But what happens when her wisdom is used to uphold silence instead of justice? In this post, I explore Athena’s role in the story of Medusa — and what it reveals about the cost of divine neutrality.

We all know the phrase “Pandora’s box,” but how many of us know that the story was shaped to blame a woman for humanity’s suffering? Let’s unpack the real myth, and why Pandora deserves to be seen not as a villain, but as a scapegoat.

Perseus is remembered for slaying Medusa and saving Andromeda. But beneath the surface, this so-called hero’s story raises questions about justice, conquest, and stolen victories. What if the real power lay with the women in his tale?

The myth of Narcissus feels eerily relevant today — a beautiful youth obsessed with his own reflection. But is self-love truly the curse here? This post looks at Narcissus in the context of our image-driven culture and asks: when does reflection become disconnection?

Echo was cursed to only repeat the words of others. For many of us, this myth hits home. In this post, I reflect on the figure of Echo as a symbol for women who’ve been silenced, overlooked, or forced into the background of their own stories.
