I love that feeling I get when it’s about to rain and the wind is rising and there’s some sort of peace in that. I swear I can hear the plants whispering

Found the perfect leather bound journal last week, so I finally made a start on my grimoire 🔮

mythologies-and-coffee

Aphrodite is the embrace of a lover as well of the embrace of a friend. She's in the laughters exhanged between bonded ones, strands of hair falling around happy faces. She's the appreciation of one's body, finding beauty instead of flaws. She's Love, love you bear for others and yourself.

Apollo's the warmth of the early risen sun, his glimmer basking the world as if it was just born. He's the satisfaction of seeing a well-polished instrument, finger passing lightly on it's surface. He's hummed songs and poetry drafts, a subtle impulse making it's way to bloom into a new creation.

Artemis is the fresh peace of the night, silver locks cradling the sleeping world like an infant. She's the whispers of the trees and the simple yet complex songs of the Mother. She's long walks in the forest, serene mind finding solace into the silence. She's the fierceness that urges to protect what matters.

Hermes is the repressed, malicious smiles, and fingers pressed against lips to silence a laugh. He's the wind messing with neatly done hair, free as ever. He's the soft feeling of exchanging letters, excitement and happiness building up inside. He's the youthful recklessness and happy grins of one who does not fear the future.

Hephaestus is the spark of both creation and flames. He's an unwavering fire, everlasting and always providing his warmth. He's agile fingers creating new from scratch, giving life to a thought. He's the calm determination of a soul that chose to carve it's own path, continuing to advance no matter what may come.

Ares is burning flames of passion enveloping a brave soul. He's the rapid heartbeat and feeling of adrenaline that comes before facing a new challenge. He's an echoing and powerful laughter, and a clap in the back. He's intense feelings, overwhelming sensations. He's the courage to go against the world.

Athena is a shimmering shield, comforting wings enveloping those who need protection. She's the constant pursuit of knowledge, stacks of books never clearing up. She's feelings and reason altogether, always balanced, never wavering. She's the song of the whispering sea and roaring sky, storm-bearing eyes never leaving their goal.

Dionysus is the strong beat of life running through a body. He's the dizziness after laughing too much, a lively tinge of pink colouring one's cheeks. He's the pulse of strong music and the flow of healthy madness as one gets carried away by his call. He's an exuberant youth, screaming, dancing, singing, free of worldly matters.
