There once was a goddess with hair the color of burning embers.
Not many ocean goddesses could live with such fire, but she could.
You see, the two elements were often at odds and one would always destroy the other.
But this burning beauty had learned to dance with her adversity, instead of submitting to it.
And dance, she will.
Allow me to tell you a story of the girl who found her light in a riverbed…
There once was a river goddess who had survived terrible things. You see, she had wandered into the desert where her light was stolen from her. Her body ached to feel the water on her skin again, but she didn’t know how to get back home. So she took a dark and uncertain path marked by a sign with the words “Bare Session” scrawled into the wood. She didn’t know where it would lead or what she would find there, but she lifted her chin and continued onward. Little did she know that she would meet a good witch named Sarah who would help her navigate the sands and dry reeds until they found the banks of the river, where they both soaked their skin and drank the good medicine of laughter between friends. And as the water ran over the river goddess’ skin, her soul was rehydrated and her light shone out through her eyes once more.
