Flaunta, Goddess of Confidence
December 12, 2013
— confidence, Flaunta, goddess
Flaunta was the second cousin of the goddess Aphrodite. She became the goddess of confidence. Her journey to her vocation to inspire and represent confidence was a story of self discovery. Aphrodite needed no outside assurance to know she was a great beauty. She exuded it. The young Flaunta was not convinced of her own powers, but passed through a jealousy of earth women who enjoyed and were confident in their own good looks. She studied the powerful and confident women, learning their secrets. Eventually her cousin would bestow the title and the powers of confidence goddess on Flaunta. She is active today in the complicated self image issues women face about appearance and competence. Being authentic and unique leads to the highest kind of confidence, as Tank Girl can attest. Confident women know:
- Personal power and charisma are unlocked with confidence
- Spending lots of time and money on appearance defeats confidence
- Standing out from the crowd is a fabulous way to be
- Following fashion can make a monkey out of you
- Your instincts are worth following
- Your artistic style has yet to be fully nurtured and developed
Get to know Flaunta, and take her with you next time you need to look something or somebody right in the eye. Nothing says “I got this” like control of your gaze. Bluffing or not, the first impression you give will remain strong when you show self assurance.
comments
Christians can sometimes get a little critical of Gods and Goddesses. I think it was a priest that told me once that Gods and Goddesses were “partial revelations” of Himself from Himself, the one true and living God. It was the one true God meeting people where they were in a way they could understand so that He could help them. Obviously, it took God a long time to reveal Himself totally. Today we have modern education, books and great teaching but back then…well you can imagine.

Partial is exactly what it means to have a pantheon. It is also archetypal psychology, if you think of characters in mythology, they are based on traits we recognize throughout time. Humans do make God in the image of themselves simply because that is the only image they know.
