↳ Asklepios

These days illnesses are different, medicines are different, and he can’t help but feel guilty for all the lives he could've saved if he’d known what he knows now. It’s easier to find him in the streets than in a hospital, you know.

Punk Aesthetic Modern Mythology- Cassandra

It doesn’t seem like it now, but she did have a good life once. She was a pretty famous photographer with a passion for writing; the type of girl you’d see in coffee shops with nothing but a camera and notebook in hand. Anyway, that all changed after some rumors got around that she tried to ruin Helen’s wedding. The truth is, that’s what Apollo told the magazines after she refused to sleep with him. And before you ask, she did try to tell her side of the story— but if you get called a “delusional bitch” often enough, you’d shut up eventually too.

Their deep sense of the humane leads them to caregiving like no other, while their methodical approach to life ensures that nothing is missed. The Virgo is often gentle and delicate, preferring to step back and analyze before moving ahead.

The muses look different with every decade, but on the inside, they stay the same. They are the girls whose eyes are like stars with artists in their orbit; whose beauty is eternally captivating, but impossible to capture completely, and so they are drawn and photographed and written about into eternity. They are unknown girls wearing pearl earrings and depressed souls who commit suicide between walls of tin foil and silver paint. They know that their lives begin and end with art, that they are created for and by inspiration. They are gasoline bodies waiting for the right artist to set them ablaze.

mythology meme:  [1/9] deities

↳ Freyja

Freyja (Old Norse for ‘Lady’) is the goddess of love, beauty, fertility, magic, and war. She rides a chariot pulled by two cats and owns both the mythical necklace Brísingamen and a cloak made of falcon feathers.

She and her twin brother Freyr are part of the Vanir, a group of gods associated with nature and magic. In the Prose Edda, Freyr and Freyja are referred to as the most glorious of all the gods and goddesses. 

Freyja is married to a god named Óðr and has two daughters with him, who are called Hnoss and Gersemi; her dwelling is called Fólkvangr and since she’s one of the Valkyries, her halls host half of those who die in battle.

Astrology Aesthetics [11/12] Aquarius

Aquarius is the sign of visionaries, unconventionality and intellectual independence. They need to be free to be on their own. Despite their stubbornness and fixed opinion, they will never impose their ideas on others, they have respect for everybody’s differences.

OF GODS AND MONSTERS (3/?) | LUCIFER

"How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! […] Those who see you stare at you, they ponder your fate: Is this the man who shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble, the man who made the world a wilderness, who overthrew its cities and would not let his captives go home?” - Isaiah 14:12-17, the Bible. 

Lucifer is the King James Version rendering of the Hebrew word הֵילֵל in Isaiah 14:12. This word, transliterated hêlêl or heylel, occurs only once in the Hebrew Bible and means “shining one, morning star”. Later Christian tradition came to use the Latin word for “morning star”, lucifer, as a proper name (“Lucifer”) for the Devil; as he was before his fall. As a result, “‘Lucifer’ has become a by-word for Satan/the Devil in the Church and in popular literature, as in Dante Alighieri’s Inferno and John Milton’s Paradise Lost. In mainstream Christianity, he is a fallen angel who rebelled against God, identified as the serpent in the Garden of Eden, the accuser of Job, the tempter of the Gospels, Leviathan and the dragon in the Book of Revelation.

Persephone’s Flower Shop

Modern AU of Greek deities??? I’d think Persephone runs a flower shop next to her mother’s all-natural grocery store and gets really distracted when the pawn shop guy comes to visit.
