This tumblr is full of feminism, magic, paganism, kitties, cultural artefacts, sometimes burlesque stuff (though see my other Tumblrs for more of that) and other (usually nerdy) things that strike my fancy...probably in that order. If you have a question, ask.

Mosaic of Minerva (Athena)
by Elihu Vedder, 1897.
This mosaic is a central arched panel leading to the Visitor’s Gallery at the Library of Congress Thomas Jefferson Building in Washington, D.C.
Beneath the mosaic is an inscription from Horace’s Ars Poetica: Nil invita Minerva, quae monumentum aere perennius exegit, and translated as, Not unwilling, Minerva raises a monument more lasting than bronze.
