hold on a fucking second. delaware is a state?? i thought it was a river? or is the river more important than the state? why don't i know this? (i should mention i don't like in america, i'm just confused)

there is delaware (state) and delaware (river)

both are equally strange

the state is a tiny little cryptid thing

the rive is a monster that spans new york, pennsylvania, new jersey and delaware. also washington crossed it once and that was like kinda a big deal i guess. like crossing the rubicon in rome.

the state tries to me more important with its “im the first state!!!” bs (seriously its even on the fucking license plates) but we all know. its the river.

This is just the “no odd number have the letter e”post

articulate-anxious-atheist-deac

it’s ALL odd numbers have “e” silly!

(odd numbers end in the digits 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 (one, three, five, seven, nine) and the only ones for which the word version doesn’t end in those words are/end in eleven, thirteen, fifteen, seventeen, nineteen. I will NOT elaborate or defend this lest this post become another. ur free to do this yourselves if you want tho)

gumi-megpoidd

i mean no even numbers end with 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9

ainosukes-sadism

oh no please dont make another number discourse im still reeling from the last one

irenethehotdog

What about infinity, if it's infinite the technically at one point as it goes on forever it does end in in either 1,3,5,7, or 9 but because it's infinite it's neither even nor odd. Yes? No? Idk I'm drunk

Nightly Prayers for Hera

A collection of prayers, crafted by me, to say to Hera before one goes to sleep. These are for my dear friend Ariel, who requested them, but they can be used by many.

For protection

I request of you, defender of man: Hera Alexandros, to protect me. For ills like oncoming ships of war threaten me, and you, lovely goddess, are the one I trust— so please, Hera Alexandros, defend me, for I am of mankind.

Hera Hyperkheiria, whose hand is above, May I have your heavenly protection. Guide me, protect me, and guide the weaving of my fate with your divine cry.

Hera, who protected the ship Argos, of which you are called Hera Argoia, hear my cry and let me sail smoothly, protected from dangers of storms and ships.

For good weather

Queen hera, who rules over the heavens, when the next day comes, I pray for good weather. Thank you, lovely Hera, I wish you goodnight.

To the queen of the gods, she who rules in heaven, I ask of you to bring good weather tomorrow. If not, well, that’s fine. Thank you very much, I love you.

For leadership

Hera, Queen Of Kings, who rules over kings, dynasties, and empires, I ask of you to grant me good leadership.

Great white-armed goddess, queen of the gods and heavens, I ask of you to inspire leadership and ambition, for in your honour I shall succeed.

For meditation and Dreams

Motherly Hera, I pray to you to ask that you may guide me and help me with meditation, so I may see you, and take comfort in your loving arms.

Hera, ox-eyed goddess, guide me in meditation and help me see secrets unknown, and so I may see you and your loving gaze.

Mother Hera, I ask of you to accompany me in my dreams. Thank you very much, blessed Hera.

General nightly prayers

Queen Hera, who rests in Olympos, Nyx has taken the sky, and I wish to wish you good night.

Mum, Divine Hera, I wish you goodnight and good rest. Thank you for all that you have done, we love and cherish you.

Goodnight, Hera, our Queen. Know that we love you dearly, and wish you the best of nights, and when Eos clears the sky, the best of days too.

I will remember you, Queen Hera, Alexandros; the defender of man Antheia; the friend of flowers, the blooming, of the flowers, and many more. She of many names, who is like a mother to me, I bid you the best of nights, and hope that you enter my dreams.

[To give a libation] To you, Queen Of the gods, I pour out this libation. I wish you a goodnight, dear Hera.

[To give an offering] Mighty Hera, please accept this (the offering). I give this to honour you, and wish you a good night. Thank you, Hera.

Morning prayers for Hera

Requested by another Adrian on discord

For Protection

Hera Alexandros, dear defender of man, the queen who bares a lotus tipped staff — protect me, and my life that is like the herds of cattle you adore — I do not wish to be trampled by storming hooves. So, dear Hera, hear my cry, ox-eyed goddess.

The goat-eater, Hera Aigophagos, who was worshipped by the Lacedaemonians, I ask of you to protect me, for troubling times have come. Thank you, lovely goddess, most fair.

For daily tasks to go well

Queen of the heavens, I pray to you to let my day go well, my tasks to be finished, and for my day to go well.

I beg of you, Queen Of the gods, to grant me energy. I struggle with the burdens I carry, especially on this day. Hera, white-armed goddess, of the chariot, Hera Heniokhe, please rant me motion — for I thank you, and love you, dear Hera.

Mum, most fair Hera, please let my day sail smoothly, for it shall be rough, and I beg for your help. Thank you, Queen Of the gods.

For Good weather

Hera, I wish you a good morning, for Eos has brought the dawn once more, and tireless Helios travels the sky. I ask of you, to grant good weather on this day. I hope that the skies will be cleared, and the clouds empty. Thank you, queen hera, for all that you have done.

For Rain

My Queen, most fair Hera, I ask of you to bring the winds, the powerful air, and wonderful storms. I ask of you to let rain pour from the sky, soaking the rich earth in gentle waters. Queen Hera, I honour and exalt you, lovely goddess.

General morning prayers

Queen Hera, ruler of the gods, I simply pray to wish you a good day.

Hera Antheia, I pray to wish you a good day, and for beauty like flowers to grace you day as you continue your godly duties.

Morning, Queen Hera, I pray to say that I adore and love you dearly, and on this day, I wish to wish you a lovely and peaceful day.

I will remember you, lovely Hera, Queen Of the gods, who has stayed with me all this time, and who continues to delight my days. I honour and praise you, goddess, and I wish for you to have a wonderful day.

[To give a libation] To you, Queen Of the gods, I pour out this libation for you, for I wish that you shall enjoy it. I wish you a blessed morning, dear Hera.

[To give an offering] Hera, on this lovely day, please accept this (the offering). I give this to say good morning, and to honour you with my heart and soul. Thank you, Queen Hera, for all that you have done.

Basic Hellenic Offering Ritual

Sourced from here. My own notes have been added in italics. Also note that this is just a >guideline<. Any step can be changed or omitted as needed.

The key elements of a bloodless offering are as follows:

Procession (Pompe)

The participants move from a central gathering place into the sanctuary and up to the altar.

(Most modern altars will be in the home, so the procession doesn’t have to be very long. Depending on where your altar/shrine is situated you could start from outside and process inside, start from the next room, or upstairs/downstairs. You could even just walk around the house before returning to the altar. Side note – If you lack space, rituals can be done at a shrine, a separate altar does not need to be set up unless you feel the need.)

Marking the Space

The offerings and sacrificial implements are carried around the altar. There is a good deal of controversy about whether this should happen in a sunwise direction or not; as there is no consensus within the community on this issue and no incontrovertible historical evidence one way or the other, this detail can be left to the discretion of the ritual leader or group, or omitted altogether.

(My shrine is a window sill, so walking around it isn’t possible. I usually skip this step.)

Preparations for the Sacrifice Proper

Purification

In Greek, this phase of the ritual is referred to as arkhestai, meaning “to begin.” The hands of the participants are washed with lustral water (khernips). The water may be purified by plunging a piece of smouldering wood from the fire into it or salt water may be used. The water is also sprinkled over the sacrifices and altar.

(For my khernips I use plain tap water in which I extinguish a lit match or for special occasions a smouldering bay leaf. I also mix in some sea salt.)

Preliminary Offering of Barley and Prayer of Invocation (katarkhesthai)

Participants take handfuls of barely groats (oulai, oulokhutai). The sacrificer, with uplifted arms, speaks a prayer or other call to the gods. The barley is then thrown onto the altar.

(It is entirely too messy to toss loose barley at my shrine, so this offering would be fine in a bowl. You could just run your fingers through the barley and let it trickle back into the bowl while speaking the prayer.)

Final Preliminary Offering (aparkhesthai)

Using the sacrificial knife, the sacrificer cuts off a small portion of the offering and casts it into the fire. With animals, a bit of the hair from the animal’s forehead was used; a small piece of bloodless food offerings can be cut or broken off.

(Uses of bowls or plates at this stage is fine. If you’re lucky enough to be able to have an open flame big enough to burn things in then I envy you.)

The Sacrificial Moment and Ululation (he thusia kai ololuge)

The offering is cut, broken, or spilled out on the altar. At the same time, the women give a shrill trilling cry.

(If you live in an environment where shouting would draw attention or get you some funny reactions then you can skip this step or do something a little quieter.)

Distribution of the Sacrifice

A small (often inedible) portion of the offering is set aside solely for the gods; this is usually burned (for the Olympians) or placed in a pit in the earth (for the Khthonioi). Some sources indicate that the first portion of the sacrifice was offered to Hestia, and this may be incorporated into the order of the ritual. Small offerings may then be made to each deity associated with the festival. The rest is cooked (if necessary) and distributed among the people. Today this last act may take place at the concluding feast rather than at this moment.

(It is personal choice on how much of the offering you share.)

Libations

Offerings of wine, milk, oil, or other liquids are poured out onto the fire. In modern usage, potable offerings may be poured into a bowl from which the participant then sips. The remaining contents of the bowl are then poured out onto the fire or the ground.

(Offerings and libations can be left on a shrine/altar for as long as you like but be aware of rotting and evaporation.)

Conclusion and Call to the Feast

The offerings (and other food) are now shared by the participants. Traditionally all the food was consumed at the ritual site. Modern usage allows for excess food to be taken away or donated to a food bank or other charitable cause.

(I usually take the leftovers and leave them outside for the deity/deities that I’ve been honouring. If leaving foodstuffs outside is not a viable option for you, you can dispose of them in the trash, the gods will understand.)

he left his phone in the room and only took his switch with him, so all he could do was desperately tweet an SOS

ugh i am so sick of people making excuses for villains. just because cyanobacteria “look pretty” and “created the oxygen we breathe” doesn’t mean you can ignore the fact that they caused the first mass extinction in the history of earth. stop woobifying cyanobacteria.
