Devotee of Ares ⚔️

[highestelf420]

Lord Ares showed me that I can suffer, thrash, writhe, cry and cry, sob, dry-heave, scream, lash out, crash out, fall apart, lay catatonic, undergo humiliation, lose everything, and more, all over, and over, and over again.

These are not signs of weakness

these are all symbols of the warrior

With Him by my side, I always get back up.

He may lose battles. He always wins the war.

As you may know, Hades does not really have any festivals or holidays in the way other deities do, so I’ve decided to start making them myself. I have decided that tomorrow, Wednesday, June 3rd, 2026, and every subsequent following Wednesday annually (June 3rd) will be the Feast of Season’s End, where we are marking the calendar of the year of when Summer is here and Spring’s final harvest has passed. So I have prepared a ritual event for that. I have cleaned up my shrine, I have set up and will perform a libation and ritual music for Hades. This is specifically to Hades the Lord of Wealth/Wealth-Giver. This is an abundance ritual holiday.

You can completely ignore this, or do it yourself, or ask to be included. As a note: I am not a voice of authority on when you can or cannot celebrate a holiday or make a holiday for a deity. I have just made this decision for me and my shrine, and how I do things. I offer prayer services regularly, but this is a special ritual for Hades specifically, and I'm doing this for me. You are not obligated to take this as if it was authoritative. :) <3 I just want Hades to have some celebrations too.

This is how the ritual works:

Your shrine should be as close to the ground as you can make it safely (if you have animals or children that might touch things and cannot place your shrine on the ground, that is fine. Safety first!)

First you must clean yourself, miasma is not allowed in shrine. While in the cleansing, you say these words as you wash yourself:

Hail Hades, foremost of the Dead, Necro Soter,

Plouton, I offer myself in honour and devotion.

Polydegmon, receive me as I cleanse my body.

When you are finished, adorn yourself in a black or dark apparel!

Bring your offerings (I suggest meat, particularly black sheep or cow, wine, coins, money, and bones) and place them on the shrine. Kneel to the floor and press your palms flat on the floor and forehead touching the floor and say this prayer while pounding your hands or fists to the floor (this does not need to be done hard):

Hear me, Lord Hades, I offer you (say what you have brought).

Plouton (or Wealth-Giver), I ask that your abundance is brought back to me.

Plouton (or Wealth-Giver), fill my life with an abundance of wealth and prosperity.

As I give to you, so you share with me the wealth of the world.

As I give to you, so you share with me the abundance of the world.

Plouton (or Wealth-Giver), (say your request here).

You may repeat this as many time as you feel needed.

Once you have completed this, allow any burning offerings, like candles or incense, to burn out, stay knelt on the floor. (A/N: If you cannot kneel to the floor, or cannot sit on the floor, you may sit in a chair and bow as far forward as you can without hurting or straining yourself. Lord Hades would NOT want you to suffer while you offer to Him.)

Once you have finished, consume the offerings that are edible, or save them for later in appropriate storage devices. Anything that is not consumable should remain on the altar, such as candles, incense, flowers, coins, bills of money, et cetera. If you cannot leave your shrine for a long period of time (such as you don’t have space), pack all the items together in the box. Anything you offered that is not at a stage to be thrown away or removed from the shrine remain together with the shrine.

During the year, you should take at least one coin a month from the shrine, until next year on June 3rd, when you repeat the ritual. Take the coin and spend it in some way, that could be giving it to someone else, putting it in a wishing fountain, spending it on something for yourself or for the shrine.

Anything you buy with the coin should be presented to Hades before consuming when possible.

As I am doing this as a state holiday, I will annually do this. Anyone who feels they want to be included in this offering, I will do. I already have a list of names, so if you would like to be included, you will be. Just EMAIL me or leave a comment.

As I have limited space, my shrine is much smaller than I’m comfortable with, however, we make do with what we have, and I am grateful that I have a space at all to put them in.

My offerings go up tomorrow, and so will my prayers to everyone who has said yes to being a part of this. Thank you for reading. I hope to make many, many more holidays for Hades over time.

Go forth and may the wealth and abundance come to you as you deserve.

Bought a stupidly overpriced coffee that tasted like shit and I wished you and @niaaaaabymy were with me so maybe it would taste better 😞😞

Sighhh.... 😔💔

[literary-sparks]

“Why don’t you use ai” idk man beyond the obvious environmental and “this machine causes psychosis and encourages people to kill themselves” thing I think asking the equivalent of a solid D student who is also a pathological liar if they can answer my question/do the work for me seems pretty fucking stupid

[pagansprite]

praise apollo, patron of arts. praise apollo font of inspiration. praise apollo the healer, for the act of artistic creation is soothing and healing.

praise athena and hephaestus of skillful hands. praise you gods of hand-crafted art, of raw materials taking shape. praise you steadfast gods, who bring focus, who see each project to its end.

praise you gods who shape offerings; without you there would be no hymns sung or votives given.

When ur mutuals w/ some cool ass people rb if u agree

[lastoneout]

I know this is a tiny part of the wider problems born of diet culture, fatphobia, classicism, and racism but like god the idea that "healthy" food must inherently taste bad has completely ruined us as a society.

[lastoneout]

Every time you feel bad for having coffee with cream and sugar or ranch on your salad or putting extra butter and salt on your veggies I want you to imagine the spirit of John Harvey Kellogg in front of you and then I want you to kill him with a real gun and eat your delicious food in peace.

Happy Pride <3
