This week I am focusing on the Greek Goddess Baubo! Baubo is a lesser-known but powerful figure in Greek mythology, known as the goddess of humor, fertility, joy, and the sacredness of the body. She is most famous for her role in the myth of Demeter and Persephone, where, in a moment of deep grief, Baubo uses humor and a playful, irreverent act to make Demeter laugh and break through her sorrow. In doing so, Baubo helped restore balance to the earth, allowing life to return and the harvest to be restored.
Baubo embodies the Sacred Fool archetype—using humor, absurdity, and the breaking of taboos as tools for healing and transformation. She represents the power of laughter to heal, challenge social norms, and restore joy, especially in times of hardship. Baubo is also associated with fertility, the body, and unapologetic self-expression, encouraging women to reclaim their physicality, sexuality, and freedom from societal expectations.
To connect with Baubo, you might focus on cultivating humor, embracing your body, and finding joy in the unexpected. Offer her flowers and plants that resemble vulvas (like poppies, tulips, or lilies), or use geranium essential oil to invoke her energy. Crazy lace agate, known as the "laughter stone," is also associated with her. By embodying Baubo's playful, transformative spirit, you can invite more joy, healing, and freedom into your life.
