A Nyx and Hades Follower

I'm new to all this. Please be gentle. (25 | they/them)

[nyxianfalls]

Here's Prometheus and Ares in case I didnt post them. I gotta get Nyx's and Dionysus' up

[nyxianfalls]

Don't remember if I posted my new Prometheus mini altar, but here's Hades

[nyxianfalls]

I don't normally post here. I don't really work with Hades, Prometheus (though I should), or Nyx much, but as primary anger holder of our DID system who's trying to work on directing that anger appropriately, I started working with Ares. And I made a thing I'm proud of, so I want to post it here.

Made a shitty mini altar owo -Pen

God, we haven't posted in so long.

We've really fallen behind in our practice. Like, it's hit a slump and we're trying to get out of it.

We'll post more soon. Plan on apologizing to Hades, Nyx, and Prometheus soon and possibly finding some sort of offering or at least burning candles in their name. IDK we're stuck

"Yo hades, (or whoever wants to answer), why am I so fucking tired???"

Thinking: high standards

Feeling: procrastination, loss of direction

Doing: looking ahead

Tl;dr : I'm holding myself to a neurotypical standard despite my mental health being fucky the last little bit and that leads to nothing but a spiral of "i could be doing better". These cards (minus the procrastination) are usually good but tbh this feels like theyre getting on to me, like I did something wrong or stupid lmfao

Note: I talk to the gods casually. Fite me. Organized and strict religion or religious expectation stresses me out.

Also also, dont be me. If you need a break mentally, fucking TAKE IT.....

Thetis and/or Prometheus devotees, reveal yourselves.

No seriously, I’ve never seen a Prometheus or Thetis worshipper and I wanna see if y’all are out there ❤️🌊

[winedarkgod]

Prometheus was actually one of the first deities I ever worshipped as a baby pagan!

we parted ways several years ago, but he was a really positive influence in my life and I still love seeing things about him :)

[nyxianfalls]

Prometheus is a very good god to work with, especially since I'm in college and constantly working on other projects. He makes sure you stoke the fire without smothering it, aka knowing when to take a break and when to push on.

Worshiping Loki means letting the little spiders just chill in and around your house.

It also means learning to be ok with holding some of them because you will absolutely run into spider webs more often AND have little spiders crawl on you.

I refuse to pick up the big and/or venomous ones tho, and I refuse to leave them In my house. They get the jar and paper transport special.

I love you and all, Loki, but I got limits.

[notthesomefather]

I agree--Loki has instilled in me a much more sympathetic and even admiring attitude towards spiders. All they do is exist and they get killed or screamed at (insert your own metaphor for living as a marginalized individual/people here).

And for what it's worth, when you stop to look at them with an objective lens they are gorgeous and intricate creatures. How they move, what they're capable of, etc. It's all tremendously impressive!

I use the glass+envelope combo to take them outside. It took me a bit to realize this but when they get "cupped" they get nervous and hyper-exploratory, so now I try to talk gently to them and move nice and slow to reduce anxiety. Does that actually have an impact? Maybe not, but I like to imagine that they feel the calming and affectionate energy.

[nyxianfalls]

Spiders move via a hydraulic system in their legs. That's why they curl up when they die. No more fluid pumping to allow them to straighten their legs.

Anyway, you said spiders are cool intricate species and I wanted to throw in a cool spider fact.

[nyxianfalls]

I'm getting somewhere. I'm going to make one for Nyx, Hades, Prometheus, and probably Dionysus for Zuri.

[nyxianfalls]

I drew Apollon :)

[nyxianfalls]

I have a D&D oracle deck I got from a friend and I absolutely adore it and the artwork. I don't use it for divination often, but it does help with my writing.

But I wanted to do a reading with Apollon, you know, god of divination/prophecy... SO here we go:

I got the Ranger upright, which means self-reliance and "shin[ing] a light into the darkness".

"You have a trusted companion who supports you on your journey, whether you know or not"

So I guess Apollon is okay with working together. But sadly, I can't really enjoy the sun because we're getting heat indexes of over 100 degrees F.

[probablybadrpgideas]

millipig. pig with 1000 legs

­Stretched out body or really tiny legs?

[nyxianfalls]

I vote tiny legs. Scuttle scuttle.

Wrong blog but I'm not deleting this.....

[nyxianfalls]

Does anyone have experience with Apollon liking lemons? I saw somewhere he did, but there wasn't much about it.

They also mentioned honey/bees, arts and sciences, divination, and a few other things I've always loved. And those were a lot easier to find multiple sources.

I know I work with a plethora of gods, but I dont think he'd mind being added? I think that he, alongside Prometheus, would help with the stress of college a LOT.

Even if I probably shouldn't add him, I'll probably give offerings of thanks. However, holy shit it gets hot here so I dont get to enjoy the sun as much as I'd like to.

[nyxianfalls]

Ooh, what if I also offer god symbols/sacred animals as stickers for the altars!?!?!

This is getting a little out of hand. I have so much to draw lmfao.

[nyxianfalls]

I'm making drawn altars. It's a cheaper option for those who can't afford a full altar and it will have many different herbs and plants and gemstones and candles of various colors. I'm having fun drawing the items but it's slow going.

I think I may also draw tarot cards or something similar...

Basically, You'll have the base but under a piece of plastic with vinyl stickers that you can move around on your altar.

I think I've done the alt text correctly? We shall see I guess.

[nyxianfalls]

Also, I will be selling these for super cheap once I get the images all drawn. We're talking $2 for the base and two random stickers, $0.75 for each additional random sticker, and $3 for themed packs of 4-5 stickers so you have an idea of what you're getting (i.e. love, anxiety, finances, etc).

All costs are in USD because I can't afford to pay shipping out of the country. Also, there'd be the extra price of shipping, but that should be super cheap.

I'm super excited about these. I'm super proud too. I don't think I've seen anything like it before, so thanks to whatever god(dess) gave me that spark.

OH AND each sticker comes with a little thingy with the metaphysical properties of that gemstone/herb/color so you know what they represent!

Me: Hades, I got a new job and I'm absolutely terrified. Pls help.

Hades: You may be worried about finances, but you made a wise decision (7 of graves) However you don't trust yourself enough (2 of ravens) to allow change (death).

Basically, I'm doubting myself even though I did what's best. Imma be making 3$/hour more than I did at Joann's (craft store that went out of business... I worked there almost 3 years) and I'm going to have more hours. I did good and I'm still doubting my success.
