⊱ ──────ஓ๑♡๑ஓ ────── ⊰

himalayan pink salt would probably be the best kind of salt to use but i don’t have any so i used epsom salt which to be honest i’m not sure about but i think should be okay? since epsom salt can represent love and whatnot.

honey, seashells, and rose petals are all good offerings for aphrodite and i have a lot of all three in my house.

the herbs i used were all to represent different things and the rose quartz is pretty self explanatory.

i started with the salt, then honey, and then herbs. i put just a few rose petals on top and then some shells. on top of the shells i sprinkled some rose quartz chips and just a tiny bit of rosemary essential oil because i love that stuff.

i added the rest of my rose petals on top, one more drop of essential oil(i decided i wanted more), put the lid on and then sealed it with wax. while the wax was still hot i added some more (dried) rose petals that i crumpled on top, and that’s it!

Ares in Mythology:

Kills the guy who tried to assault his daughter and refused to apologize for it when he got put on trial (it was ruled justifiable homicide by Athena btw).

The only time he’d been captured in battle was when he was protecting his mom from being captured by giants who wanted to forcibly marry her.

Found and Freed Thanatos when he was imprisoned by Sisyphus when no other Gods could

Helps found the Amazons by helping their founder escape her abusive husband and becomes their patron God.

Genuinely loves and respects Aphrodite as her own person

One of his epithets is “feasted by women”.

Ares in Modern Media:

Meatheaded sexist asshole out of an eighties teen movie.

Conclusion: My boy is getting done dirtier than Hades in modern representation. Ares is one of the least problematic Gods in the pantheon (except for the murders, I will grant you) and ya’ll are sleeping on him.

Pagan writers when talking about female deities: "They're a mother goddess"

Pagan writers when talking about male deities: "Well, their role and function is a lot more complicated and important than just just being a father god, and here's a 10k word essay discussing why they're more than just a father god"

In ancient Greek religion, an empty throne often signified the possible presence of a god, even in the absence of an image or statue. These thrones were placed during rituals and festivals, such as Theophania at Delphi, as a sign that a deity might arrive.

At times, they were reserved for gods beyond the local pantheon. In intercultural sanctuaries like Delos or Piraeus, divine visitors from other cultures were honoured with these sacred seats. Foreign deities, such as Isis (Auset), were welcomed through processions and offerings. Their presence was acknowledged by the throne left waiting.

This practice was deeply tied to the Greek value of xenia, or sacred hospitality. Welcoming the unknown god mirrored the ethical imperative to welcome the stranger. The Greeks didn't always know who would come, but they made room nonetheless. The empty throne stood as a symbol of respect, openness, and readiness.

For modern Hellenic Polytheists, this symbolism carries real ethical weight. Xenia is not optional; it’s a central religious duty. Refugees, migrants, strangers, and newcomers deserve the same care once offered to unknown gods.

As a divine law protected by Zeus Xenios, xenia calls us to wait with hope, to receive with kindness, and to respond with generosity. The empty throne is a reminder that hospitality is a virtue, custom, and sacred practice in the religion of Hellenic Polytheism.

Hail the deathless gods; Hail Zeus Xenios

Trompe l'Oeil with a Bust of Venus (1665) by Caesar van Everdingen

Aphrodite is one of the most essential goddesses whether humanity likes to acknowledge her or not. Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty, the keeper of being enamored with any one or any thing. Without her would we find our partner’s arms paradise? Without her would we still share laughter with our closest companions? Without her would we find enjoyment in our smallest pleasures? Aphrodite holds our desires in her hand; from our greatest passions to our smallest sparks she has our love in her grasp.

Praise Aphrodite for all of the love she gives us whether it be new, lasting, or fleeting for she will always hear our desires and guide us with love.

AI art has no right being in Helpol/witchy spaces. It's so lifeless. So boring. Your Gods would be disappointed in you. They appreciate your creativity, your imagination, the things you do. They don't care about artistic skill and would be thrilled with whatever you create, as long as it's created with your heart and not a stealing algorithm.
