I am hosting this year, on Mount Olympus, and everyone that was given invites actually showed up!
I know I mentioned this a few diaries ago. I sort of downplayed it as tea with my sister Justice, but then I revealed the truth. It is a full blown world convention. I just wanted to keep it under-wraps, since several male deities from all over the planet always try to crash the event every year, and we always have to up security.
I want to thank the Valkyrie 445th Division detachment, from the Northern lands, and the Amazonian Detachment regulars from Armenia, Lodge 498, and lodge 331 respectively for doing the security for this decades event. my thanks and gratitude for a job well done.
I also want to thank the Quin Yuan Kannon Society groups, for the decorations, and the flowers.
Special thanks to the Polynesian delegations, for the huge platters of tropical fruits, and the fresh ahi sashimi. Yummy! Also, a Shout out to the African Goddess Society, for the miniature Statues of each attending goddess on each of the tables by their plates. Its a nice touch, instead of just a nameplate. Thanks to the Hathor/Isis societies!
I also want to thank everyone for leaving Olympus cleaner then when you found it. The male deities have already returned, and I am already picking up after them. Se la Vie!
Ok, now that the housekeeping is done-on with the gossip.
With the convention now over, and under my belt, I am ready to report to you, on our findings, goings on, gossip, general mayhem, humor, and scoldings for humanity. Buckle in kids, it is going to be a rough ride. Or not.
As you may not be aware, every decade, all of us Goddess-religious- or mythical imbued Statuary from around the world over a certain height get together to shoot the breeze, play party games, and vote on our agenda for the coming decade, and set our platforms. Each year, we add more of us to the group.
This year we added a ton of new Goddesses to our roster. See below for some of them: *Note-No, we did not include the Wo0oden Statue of Melania Trump. Did not qualify as she is a mortal of no standing. We are strictly for actual deities. A few Queens are exceptions.)
I will begin with some information, on the hoist realm (Mine), here: A List Of All Greek Goddesses, then some of the major Statuary Goddesses, that attended here:Compiled By the Grand Ripnoche Highest Buddhist Monk himself-also includes Gods in the full list
For my American Homeland folks, sorry to say, but I am not the largest goddess statue in the world. No, that distinction gores top Russia, and unlike the mortal realm, she gets to sit right beside me, at the convention because she is livid at Putin and absolutely is appalled by his action in in Ukraine.
The Motherland Russia tallest Tallest female Statue in the World
A further list is here-all were attendees at the convention.
The Motherland, and the Virgin of Peace sat to either side of me, as I presided. I am the third largest Female statue on the planet.
The largest contingency group this year, hands down were the Kannons, from Asia, coming from 6 different countries, and are mightily impressive, and of course have a lot to say as well. Japan had the largest group, this year, and they were a lively, but peaceful bunch.
They came from China, Japan, Indonesia, Bali, Thailand. All not that much shorter than myself, and highly venerated and respected in their countries.
There were two Statues that qualified to come this year, from my own country of America, and that was the Dignity Statue, a statue I fear my own people do not even know exists. But I am hoping that this diary may change that. The statue is 50 feet tall, and is located in Missouri. She had a lot to say when she was here.
The second new attendee, form my country this year, has not actually formally attended, as of yet, but is represented by an empty chair. that is because she does not qualify to actually attend until she is a bit older, in the next decade.
That would be the fearless girl statue, from NY NY, and she is the shortest statue ever voted in. We await her appearance, next decade. But I did read a message from her, to the assembly
Fearless Girl: statue, from America.
Wasn’t a dry eye in the house! Shew wrote about global warming, and the excesses of corporations around the world and the role women play in leadership across all fields especially in the corporate realms.
there is another statue that is new, and attended this year, this time, from modern Africa. A statue actually modeled after myself, but made specifically African. She also had much to say and discuss about her country. Queen Moremi is one of the Queens represented, which is rare for us. We include also Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii, and Queen Boudicca, Rani Lakshmibai, (India) Grace O’Malley, (Pirate Queen) Lady Amanitore (Rome) Mavia Of Arabia (Arabia),Queen Zenobia (Palmyria)The Trung Sisters Vietnam) Queen Artemesia 1 of Caria ,(Persia) Queen of Zdinga and Zdango of Motomba (Africa ) QueenÆthelflæd (Anglo-Saxon) Queen Tomyris of the Massagetae, (Central Asia) Queen Cleopatra and Queen Nefertiti, These 16 serve as honorary members.and Moremi’s likeness and stance was modeled after mine. She was a fierce warrior for the Yaruba people, in Nigeria. Her statue is very grand. All of the above mortals, also have statuary, and are also quite impressive. they are honorary because they are mortals, and not Goddesses.
Of course, there were the “grande Dames, who are usually in the background, huddled among themselves and gossiping, while us “Youngsters” go about eating, poking fun at each other, and our respective countries mortal leadership, (Usually men) and trying each others national foods, and trying out each others national dances.
The Venus of Villendorf reigns supreme in that arena, and she is always surrounded by a bevy of our most ancient Goddesses and their respective Statuary. Every once in a while the vaults of the hallowed feast halls of Olympus went silent, as one or another would pipe in with some save comment, that would have us all thinking profoundly, and then it was back to rounds of Saki, Uzo, and Vodka and Ambrosia Wine.
Also, I have to confess. I cannot dance Bollywood. But Queen Liliuokalani (Who was an avid hula dancer) and Queen Moremi were keeping up with the entire Indonesian Goddess contingency and even, I think out-danced the Thousand Armed Goddess and the female Buddha. the Kannon’s (Qui’an Yin’s) contingency, and the several Virgin Mary statuary who ere there, also tend to huddle together. No one quite knows what they are murmuring, but it is all quite soft in tone and dignified.But that is my observation. Lets keep that between us, shall we?
In the end, we voted on a very clear agenda. Make it known that we, as the worlds most revered Goddesses, and ideologies and religious representations have had enough of this whole world misery thing, and we are calling for a general strike, where we will all stride off of our pedestals, and make our way to Olympus, where we will await humanities return to world cooperation. We are fully prepared to not return until mankind gets a grip. I am making up the guest rooms now as I write this. We mean it this time. *stern look*
I hope you have all enjoyed my report, and learned something. remember, we all love what we do. make us proud, and don’t be idiots. that is all we can ask.
Venus Of Villendorf (Austria) and her old Madame Contingency. Some of the smallest Goddess statuary but the oldest and most powerful. A mood unto themselves at the convention.
Narita San Kannon from Japan
Matsu Meizou from China
The Virgin Of Peace Second Tallest Statue In The World From Velenzuela
Queen Moremi Ajasoro from Nigeria
