The original myth doesn’t involve her consent, but it’s been popular on the internet for years now to make the story less rapey.

I’m always a bit torn on these modern revisions. Medusa, Persephone, etc, they all promote an interpretation of myths that simply aren’t true from most records, and thus portray an inaccurate version of the societies that told them, but, on the other hand, these myths never really had much in the way of “official” versions anyways.

If people change them to match the values of the times, that’s more than a traditional way of doing things. Hell we KNOW the versions we have are culturally biased, especially towards Athenian interpretations.

Be cool to each other. We’ll welcome most occult themes, it’s okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.

We love art credits when possible.
