Tarot Fundraiser!

Hello hello!

I am once again selling divination readings for a fundraiser. This time, we are helping out a multi-marginalized queer couple with food and rent. Times are hard, especially with SNAP being shut down this month, but I know we can pull through. The overall goal is $900.

What I am offering:

Sliding scale ($5-$25) divination readings with either tarot, oracle cards, lenormand cards, pendulum, runes, charm casting, dice casting, or bone casting (you pick up to 3! (yes, even if you only pay $5!!))

I will make simple offerings (i.e. coffee, incense, water, etc.) to and call in your chosen deities from non-closed practices (and no demons please!), if you'd like!

You can choose which decks are used

You'll get a picture of the offering and reading, and of course, a summary of the reading

Payment accepted via cashapp or venmo

Please allow 1-3 days for your reading to be completed; I am working and going to school as well!

As a note, while I'm pretty open to answering all types of questions, I will reserve the right to decline to answer anything that does not sit well with me.

If you're interested, send me a DM with what you want insight into, deities you want to be offered to, and which divination method you would like used. :)

Thank you!!

$70/$100 ‼️‼️‼️ we can get to $100 todays guys, I know it!

Prayer Request :)

Hello everyone (who still might be here)! I’m sorry I’ve been gone so long, I had my wisdom teeth removed, a few little crises, a new job, (and possibly a new partner, too?), so my worship schedule, and my motivation to write, has been a bit all over the place.

My new job is one that I’m particularly excited about, since it’s paying me the kind of money I need to move out of my parents’ house, and I should hopefully, if things go well, be out by February or March at the latest. This will enable me to focus on my worship without having to also worry about retaliation for having different beliefs :) Tomorrow, I’m taking my first of three very important licensing exams for my job, and since my job is in finance, I would love for someone to send a prayer or two to Hermes for me to pass the test! I’ve been burning incense and praying for most of this week, but I’m sure some extra prayers couldn’t hurt :,)

Thanks be to Hermes, I passed the test 🎉 Now there’s two more left to go 🤞

Hestia Basileia

O highly blessed Hestia Basileia, Queenly Goddess of the feast, Accept the sacrifice before you, And all sacrifices, I pray, ever given by me: Every sweet burning candle, Every smoky stick of incense, Every libation poured, Every meal I cook to honor the Gods. I praise You, o Hestia, The Queen of the first and last of everything.

[beatingdrumspouringwine]

Hestia Aidios

I call upon fair Hestia Aidios, Kind companion of the human race since its start. You dwelt in the limbs of trees, where ancient ancestors made their homes, You sat in the dark of caves lit by firelight, Delighting in the works of art on their walls. You were there when the first humble huts were constructed, And blessed beds of moss and straw, And watched with wonder and delight as flames lapped at food, Turning meager survival into comfort as well. You watched empires rise with the common people, Sat near the hearths and tended to long-lasting fires, Accepted the sacrifices they burned for You, And smelled the herbs and spices they now added. You were there, too, at the collapse of it all, Watching shrines be removed from their once-sacred places, Watching the temples be overrun and abandoned, Yet never did waver in giving Your gift of warmth to homes. And after a thousand years, You watched prayers be lifted to You again, With sweet incense accompanying them, And with candles burning their lights in honor of You. Hail to You, o Hestia Aidios, Eternal Goddess of the hearth and home, May You sit in humble glory for ages to come.

Prayer to Hestia

Hear me, o kindly Hestia, Goddess of the hearth and home, Of baking bread and humble feasts, Of laughter and families, Of warm clothes and close friends, Of comforting embraces and warm baths, Of a good night's sleep in a familiar place. Good Goddess, take every fire that I light, Every candle that I burn on cold nights, Every meal I eat, whether shared or alone, And delight in its sacred sweetness.

[ombrokharis]

I'll be real, y'all.

I don't see an ultra-nationalist opening a temple to Pan and Zeus in Arcadia as a Helpol win.

I see it as a stain that we will have to grapple with for time immemorial.

Heck, the people celebrating its opening—more likely than not—wouldn't be allowed anywhere near it.

Greeks only. You know, since it was opened by an ULTRA-NATIONALIST.

Hestia Epithet Requests!

My next prayer series is going to revolve around Hestia and Her epithets! While I'm gathering resources and doing research, I figured I'd ask if there's any epithets of Hers that people think are underappreciated, or even just an epithet that you really want to see turned into a prayer :) Thanks in advance all!

Prayers Talk pt 2 :)

A little over a week ago (or maybe very over a week ago, I haven't quite been keeping up with time anymore), I put out a poll asking for what you all wanted to see from me going forward, prayer-wise, and prayers for the Olympian Gods won by a pretty good amount! So I have a few more things that I want to get settled before I get started, which means... another poll! I love polls!

I would love to do another epithet series like I did with Dionysos, so with that in mind, who do we want to see first?

Which Olympian do you want prayers for?

Zeus

Hera

Poseidon

Demeter

Aphrodite

Athena

Artemis

Apollon

Ares

Hephaistos

Hermes

Hestia

About 9 hours before voting ends! So far it looks like Hestia is going to be the next one up for the prayer series :)

Warm Day Hymn to Persephone

O ever-blessed Persephone, You have sprung anew from the depths of the Underworld, And brought with You warmth again. I praise You, kind Goddess, for the warmth of the sunlight, For the birds which suddenly hymn You from the trees, For the brown patches of grass revealed from melting snow, For the sun-kissed rivers of water which run over the concrete, For the stirring-up of life from once-frozen black dirt. I pray You rest here a while, And that You continue to bless my frozen heart and weary mind with the warmth of spring. May the snowflakes now seep gently into the ground to nourish new life, May every morning ring a little louder with song, May the maple trees flow with sap and then bud red, May the cold be left far behind us.

[beatingdrumspouringwine]

If you worship Aphrodite please put in some good words for me, I'm talking to a girl and she's SO SWEET and I don't know what to do

[winedarkgod]

the thing about Dionysus is that he will reach down elbow-deep into your heart and pull out things you didn't even realize had been buried there

So anyway @zeus-is-god is part of Joy of Satan which is a known racist cult (like, neo-nazi levels of racism). They do not try to deny that they are part of JoS and if you look at the language used in this interaction, they are actively trying to recruit people.

So report and block, lets get more nazi scum out of our communities

[wingsofaphrodite]

nothing to add, this is just important

[altis-of-olympia]

King Zeus Xenios would be incredibly displeased with His name being slandered like this. Reminder that King Zeus is the patron of travelers and strangers. Using His good name to spread hate is abhorrent and contradictory.

[ombrokharis]

@zeus-is-god is exactly the person I made this post about.

[beatingdrumspouringwine]

These last couple of days (ironically coinciding with the Lesser Mysteries), I've started noticing birdsong more often in the mornings. Spring is definitely coming back, even though everywhere around me is still frozen as hell :,)
