Even if someone tells you that they're getting their insights from gods or some other higher beings, you still have to ask yourself "who else is saying stuff like this?" If their rhetoric lines up with the rhetoric of actual hate groups, then hatred is what they're channeling - no matter how much it's been prettied up with poetic language and grandiose imagery.

it's okay if you have to re-read the myths or re-watch videos explaining them regularly because you forget what happens in them.

it's not something to he ashamed of.

[wyrd-gazer]

This! I've had to re-read them many times before.

I'm going to add that when you re-read/re-watch them, you might notice things you didn't before, or might come to a different understanding of the myth. Revisiting the myths can be a great thing to do, regardless of how well you remember them.

Thinking about self indulgence as a form of worship, since I really do believe that the divine can be found within ourselves

[veiled-in-whispers]

To be clear, I'm not saying, like, I am divine or anything like that. I mean that I am a reflection of the divine, and as such, there is a seed of divinity within me. I can use my own body as a temple, an altar even. I can make offerings to my gods by reaching kindly to that shadow of themselves that dwells within me

Yas!

An amazing birthday present from @nnobodiusart / @nnobodoodles (want to make sure they get all the credit). Who just made me have all sorts of feels and they spoil me! <3

Ariadne and Dionysus are hands down my favorite Greek mythology couple. They have so much untapped potential and my list for all my head cannons for them are ever growing.

I can guarantee that I will be staring at this multiple times as I get my inspo and creativity flowing to write my story for them!

"There's Apollon" / "Há Apolo..."

Há luz contra a janela O cheiro de louro queimado se eleva O canto do carcará rasga o vento O suave som dos dedos na lira, lento Há o rosto de Apolo na quentura Um sorriso gentil que só fulgura Um abraço suave de brilho cálido Um Deus paciente, dourado e sábio Eu me encontro a seu lado Com o mel em seu cálice derramado Com o instante respirando aliviado Com Febo, alívio dos mortais, amado.

english

There is light against the window The smell of burnt laurel rises The song of the caracara rips the wind The soft sound of fingers on the lyre, slowly

There's Apollon's face in the heat A gentle smile that just shines A soft embrace of warm glow A patient, golden and wise God

I find myself by your side With the honey in your spilled chalice With the instant breathing relieved With Phoebus, relief of mortals, beloved.

self care is a devotional act. washing your hands is a devotional act. finding beauty in something or someone is a devotional act. finding beauty in yourself is a devotional act. loving friends, family, pets, & partners is a devotional act. devotional acts dont have to be these grand gestures, because the gods & goddesses appreciate you; especially when youre enjoying the life they bestowed upon you

happy venus day everyone !!

Sometimes the gods will seem like they aren't there, but they are.

Sometimes you will feel like a small child learning how to ride a bike. You can feel the hands on your shoulders, you can hear their voice close by. Then, suddenly, you don't feel their hands and their voice is farther away.

They didn't abandon you in your time of need. They're watching you take everything they've taught you to apply it. They've got the band-aids if you need them, and they're standing at the top of the driveway watching.

They cannot pedal that bike for you. They cannot hold onto the bike so you never fall.

They're watching you and they are proud. They are proud even if you fall down or crash.

Don't panic. Now's your time to show them what you've learned! Go as far as you can. You're not alone.

☼ Apollo is the burning rage you feel when you witness injustice.

☼ Apollo is the fury of a Father whose child is mistreated.

☼ Apollo is a striking arrow against those who violently invade your space.

☼ Apollo is a battle cry, a blinding light, an eye of the hunter.

He is so many things, not all of them soft and gentle.

It’s been a while since i’ve drawn devotional art <3

[thegodsfindmecrazy]

May the Gods help you fall in love with being human and experiencing the mundane once more

[deadcrowmagic]

pray tell, what is Aristaios to you? I've been musing a lot about him lately

He is the cause of the food on my table. He is the bringer of relief from harsh weather. He is all the "little," "ordinary" things that make my life wonderful. He is a father figure who cares so deeply about me, his son, and he is a person who knows repentance and knows it well.

He is the deity that helps me through normal days, normal struggles. He is so gentle and kind and loving. All he wants is for me to pave my way and walk my own path.

Does that answer your question?

[piristephes]

This is lovely

[witches-bottle-deactivated20241]

There's no better joy in this world than watching someone collapse to their own self when you agree with them:

You know witchcraft is probably the placebo, right?

Me - yeah

Them expecting a fight - wait, why do you practice it then?

I don't know whether I'm placeboing myself a new life or whether I'm manipulating the forces of change in the universe but either way, I'm becoming a better version of myself and overcoming my enemies, my own issues and living well. Is that not what the end game is?

[ravenousnightwind]

This is how I feel about gods and any sort of belief too. It helps me be a better person. In some way it even makes things easier. Not because I feel like I have to, but because it makes me realise things.
