2016 Challenge list

February 2016

Because we all liked this one, we are going to go with the Goddess challenge again for the Month of Love.

1. Aphrodite was the Greek goddess of love and beauty. In the story of the Trojan War, the Trojan Paris awarded Aphrodite the Apple of Discord after judging her to be the most beautiful of the goddesses. She then sided with the Trojans throughout the war: Read a book where a war or battle takes place, or a book where main characters fight over a love interest.

2. Ishtar, the Babylonian goddess of love, procreation, and war. When the love of her life, the farm god Tammuz, died, she followed him to the Underworld: Read a book involving demons or a book where at least part of the story takes place in an underground realm.

3. Inanna was the oldest of the love goddess of the Mesopotamian region. She was a Sumerian goddess of love and war. Although she is regarded as a virgin, Inanna is a goddess responsible for sexual love, procreation, and fertility: Read a book where a wedding takes place, or where someone is having a baby, or a book where one of the characters is a virgin.

4. Ashtart or Astarte is a Semitic goddess of sexual love, maternity and fertility. She is also a war goddess and is associated with leopards or lions. Sometimes she is two-horned: Read a book about shifters.

5. Venus was the Roman goddess of love and beauty. She was originally an Italic goddess of vegetation and patron of gardens: Read a book involving any woodland creatures, Fairies, Elves, Fae, Dryads, Satyrs, Gnomes, Nymphs, etc.

6. Hathor is an Egyptian goddess who sometimes wears a sun disk with horns on her head: Read a book where a main character has powers similar to the sun, some sort of fire power or pyrokinetics, dragon shifter, fire demon, etc.

7. Isis is the Egyptian goddess of magic: Read a book where a main character is some kind of magic user, spellcaster, sorcerer, or mage.

8. Freya was a beautiful Vanir Norse goddess of love, magic, and divination, who was called upon for help in matters of love: Read a book where a character has the power of divination or foretelling the future or a book where at least part of the story involves time traveling to another time or place.

9. Nügua was primarily a Chinese creator goddess, but after she populated the earth, she taught mankind how to procreate, so she wouldn't have to do it for them: Read a book where at least one character is of Asian descent, or a book where there’s some sort of Asian martial arts fighting, or a book where part of the story takes place in an Asian named place or city.

10. Tlazolteotl is the Aztec goddess of fertility, sex, childbirth and love. She appears in four forms that correspond to the phases of the moon: Read a book where at least one main character is a werewolf.
And again, thanks for all your hard work Belkis

I wouldn't mind participating but I'm a little lost...are the books supposed to embody the goddesses' main characteristics or areas they preside over or be related in any significant way to them? For example, Tlazolteotl caused STDs in those who indulged in unlawful sexual relations and forgave and purified those who confessed such, and I can't quite get what connection would be between that and a werewolf story.

Amber, you might want to save Stray for last. One of the best Shifter series, in my opinion. Died waiting for those books to come out. The series will.make you laugh, cry, and beg for more.

DJ, I think the examples are given to bring them back to the paranormal/ UF genre. For the example you gave, it just says to read a book featuring a werewolf. The werewolf doesnt have to get a STD or embody the goddess characteristics, just needs to be a werewolf. I hope that helps.

That is what I was thinking. And since the goddess represents the phases of the moon and in many myths the phases of the moon is so important to werewolfs they are connected. At least that's how I saw the connection between Tlazolteotl and the werewolf.
