Dude who woman doesn't fancy gets all up in his feelings with it, rants about it and begs a deity to override the woman's own feelings, making sure to doxx her.
Yeah. Nothing's changed in five thousand years. Creeps gonna creep.
She was probably smart in addition to being attractive.
What a fun interesting compelling article. Fun in your writing style. Another fun aspect is human behavior and psychology. A final fun thing is different theories what it was, is, how came to be literally and imagined. Looking forward to more posts and articles. 🌷🐥
Thank you so much, Kim. I love that you picked up on those layers. Human behavior, psychology, and the different theories are often what make ancient history so fascinating. I’m very glad you’re enjoying the articles, and I have plenty more coming!
It feels almost inevitable that some of humanity’s earliest written records would delve into romance and the stirrings of desire. Our ancestors were driven by the same impulses that stir us today: longing, attraction, and the hope of binding someone’s affections. Carving those hopes into clay—whether through love spells, poems, or charms—was a way to make something intangible feel permanent. In cultures where writing was precious and laborious, the decision to immortalize matters of the heart speaks to how central love and desire have always been to the human experience.
The incantation would be considered either grey or black magic. Because you are trying to force someone to do something against their will. In modern language, the problem is lack of consent.
