Goddess Gruia - a monograph

Writing a monograph is difficult in itself, but when dealing with a very recent, brand-new religious/cultural/artistic phenomenon such as the cult of Goddess Gruia, the task is Herculean. Still, I have taken it upon myself to bring light onto this fascinating goddess as I believe the result to bring happiness and amusement to many people. Here are the first few pages of the monograph in question, or as Google books say, a snippet view of the much-awaited publication.

The online temple of Goddess Gruia

Goddess Gruia is the only living goddess, from the mythical land of Transylvania. She is the patron of asymmetry, self-love and self-irony, peace, women museographers, hypochondriacs, slave reenactors, women artists, fat ballerinas, small business owners, tile stoves and many other groups of people, abstract concepts, and things !

Her cult focuses on her online temple - the Etsy Shop of the same name and on her Sancta Sanctorum, the inner chamber where she actually touches pieces of art that become contact-relics.

Buy such pieces of original art and you will immediately feel the benefices. You will love and accept yourself as you are, you will work hard for small money but you will enjoy your job, you will feel the urge to visit pharmacy museums, you will be peaceful and creative, though not able to draw a straight line, your stove will never malfunction, and the world will generally seem a happier place!
