I think if people in ancient Greece knew about raccoons they would have made them one of Hermes' animals. I always think of him when I see them

Last weekend I made Apollo an offering, a little drawing I put my effort into :) it kinda turned out good. I’m also thinking about buying a lyre harp and learn how to play it as an offering haha

And should you ever need to flee for your safety, I pray that Hermes swiftens your steps. . *₊ ° . ☆
That Ares lends you his sword. . *₊ ° . ☆
That Artemis lights your way in the night. . *₊ ° . ☆
That Hestia warms you in your new safe place. . *₊ ° . ☆
And that Zeus holds you as you cry and mourn the past. . *₊ ° . ☆
Mercury leaving retrograde on the same day as the Spring Equinox feels a lot like Hermes returning as an escort for Persephone’s return from the Underworld and idk that just makes me really happy

I love the gods. I love the gods so much. I love how they can interact with us in different ways. I love how different they are. I love how we can have shared experiences with deities. Or experiences that are different but still are them. I am so happy I began worshipping these deities.
The number and variety of his associations are astounding. He is a precocious, divine child, born of secrecy, companion to dark night; a stealthy thief, a playful prankster and mischief-maker, yet called by Homer ‘the friendliest of gods to men’ or, alternately translated, ‘the one who most enjoys the company of men' - Hermes by Arlene Allan
This made me tear up bc its true! Love you, baby boy! 🥹💕
🏛️⚕️Prayer to Asklepios for Health ⚕🏛️
(original for @skinnyconnoisseurtragedy)
Asklepios, gentle healer, son of Apollo, bearer of the sacred staff, I turn to you in trust and humility.
Guide my body toward balance, my mind toward clarity and my spirit toward calm and wholeness.
Let your wisdom flow through every remedy, every rest, every breath, every choice I make. Ease what is strained, strengthen what is weak and restore harmony where it has been lost.
May I honor health as a sacred gift through patience, moderation and care and walk each day with gratitude for renewed life.
Asklepios, physician divine, be present in my healing now and in the days to come.
I praise you swift healer, I honor your mastership and thank you for your blessings.
🧭 "Lead Me Where I Belong" Prayer 🚪
Glad-hearted Hermes,
Immortal Guide to mortals in both life and death,
Friend to humanity,
Mark the map of my soul with the location of my true Home. Lead my uncertain steps in the direction that I'm meant to be, and allow me to rest my weary feet on a bed that I call my own. Grant me the wonder of freedom from the chains that hold me back in my current prison. Give me the key to my cell so that I may free myself.
I seek a refuge - a place that I am meant to happily reside. I seek a house that I can confidently call Home - a place where I feel a sense of belonging. I seek a sanctuary - a place that grants me reprieve from the madness of the world. Take my hand, Kind-hearted Hermes, and lead me to the place that I most belong. Fill my cup when I feel discouraged on my journey; remind me of the worthwhile destination at the end of my road. Imbue this fellow traveler with hope for the brighter future that will soon be revealed.
Take me Home.
Thank you, Great Hermes, and may your name be forever praised. I love you and am grateful for your time.
Praised be Hermes! 🧡

Friend of Humanity, may you always guide me.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Lucifer gave me this message and I thought I’d share it.
You aren’t less of a devotee for not having the motivation.
Your gods won’t leave you because you didn’t give them that offering you’ve been thinking about. They won’t leave you because you couldn’t bring yourself to get out of bed to do your practice. They won’t leave you if you choose to sleep after a long day instead of sitting down at your altar.
Your gods are always there and they understand your struggles. As long as you’re trying your best that’s all that matters to them. Your gods love you. They waited your whole life for you to find them and they don’t mind waiting a little longer.
A simple good morning and goodnight is enough. Merely thinking of them throughout your day is enough.
You don’t need to be on your hands and knees serving up offerings and praise to worship or connect with your deity.
They want to see you flourish and grow and achieve happiness.
Take a bath and put on your favourite playlist. Create something and engage in your hobbies. Wash your face and brush your teeth.
Take care of yourself.
That is enough.
My Goddess aphrodite🥹💖‼️
