Ash – The Enchanter February 18 – March 17 WIP.

Ash is a tree of interesting mythology and character with a connection to the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. The ash tree has long been associated with wisdom, knowledge, and divination. In a number of legends, it’s connected to the gods, and considered sacred.

The Selkie-folk, they are said to be able to shed their seal skin and then take human form. However, it was vital for the Selkie never to lose its seal skin for it was that which gave them the ability to return to their original seal from. Sometimes the Selkies were known for shedding their skins and sunbathing on the beaches and rocks in their human form. Fresnos – Encantadores Febrero 18 - Marzo 17 WIP

Para los celtas el fresno fue también un árbol muy venerado y uno de los árboles sagrados de Irlanda . Sus ramas eran utilizadas por los druidas para la fabricación de varitas y lanzas, sus semillas para la adivinación, y se creía que su madera y hojas poseían diferentes propiedades mágicas asociadas a la protección y la buena fortuna.

Las Selkies son uno de los mitos mas hermosos de los que se refieren a las criaturas que habitan el fondo del mar. Son seres dulces y de carácter bondadoso que prefieren bailar a la luz de la luna antes que atraer navegantes hacia la muerte como solían hacer las sirenas en las viejas leyendas. Estas criaturas no se limitan a transformar sus colas de foca en piernas humanas, sino que cambian de forma por completo y acaban convirtiéndose en seres humanos y no queda nada que haga sospechar lo que eran, no quedan rastros de su anterior aspecto de foca. Lo consiguen por algún tipo de magia al desprenderse de su piel de foca cuando llegan a tierra firme.

I’m not sure whether I should laugh or cry.

Is OP aware that oh so many books exist on this subject?

And that almost universally the ones authored by people with doctorates in classicism and mythology disagree with OP?

Including the… epic hymn that first told this story? You know what’s in that original source material… right?

Abducted, yes. Demeter mourned? Definitely. Rape, no.

So here’s some info on Ancient Greek wedding traditions which (oh my stars and garters!!) included abducting the bride. With the father’s permission, which Hades got before he took her away.

Here’s a whole book on the subject of Ancient Greek wedding custom and its conflation with funeral rites. (Which sounds a bit like Hades and Persephone to anyone who’s ever dabbled in things like explication and context)

Here’s a link to another book that talks about Persephone’s rise to power as a result of her willingly eating the pomegranate seeds.

Oh shit!!

Here’s a whole bunch of myths and hymns that talk about her Queen of the Underworld badassery!!

Holy pug tacos Batman!!

Here’s another book about the myth focusing on the seasonal religious and liminal rites. WHICH TAKE PLACE IN THE DRY SUMMER (not the fucking winter), which you know if you read a book.Way to go, OP!

All these fucking books! What could anyone possibly do with them all?!?!?!?! Do you eat books to absorb their powers instead of read them?

A better guess would be that you got into a moral panic over the name of a certain Renaissance statue and maybe after reading three pages of Edith Hamilton or the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article. And then used that to castigate and demean not only the people who actually take their limited time to create gorgeous art but also to denigrate modern day worshippers of Persephone and Hades?

Maybe next time, you stringy piece of over-boiled okra, you might want to take your own advice and pick up a book, instead of reducing the feared and respected Queen of the Underworld who held power equal to or in many interpretations GREATER than her husband into a meaningless pastiche of female disenfranchisement that you seemingly plucked from your own ass.

I don’t often reblog posts of people getting owned, but when I do…

luxlustravi-blog

man the ancient greeks didn’t dare to speak persephone’s name she was that powerful and venerated (they called her Kore, “the maiden”), hades didn’t get that honour

bunjanecrocker

Rebagel for those book links, I find the Persephone and Hades stuff on here fascinating and I want to research it more

secondgenerationimmigrant

Book links, owning and the sheer badassery that is Persephone.

reblog forever

honorthegods

Reblogging for the links until this misapprehension finally ceases.

@thoughtsontomes you realize that every time I see Haides and Persephone I will be completely unable to not tag you, right? ;D

hellenic-hades

Holy shit as someone who is dedicated to these two in particular this post is a goldmine, especially because it’s nearly impossible to find information about Persephone!!
