Pleasant reminder that TERFs should not feel safe in Hellenism or in the Divine community

hello!! im a demigod (son of apollo) and i came by here a while ago, i believe, asking about a quest i did for my aunt artemis... can i ask what sort of things happened on that quest? what sort of people were with me, did i get along with them?

Storytime! I love these spreads!

You: nine of wands. Determination, accepting of risks. Your companion(s): reversed eight of cups. Dissatisfaction, instability, indecision. So basically, you were super ready to get going on this adventure while your companion was not. They went because you talked them into it, but not without complaining. But you were extremely gung ho. 

The journey: nine of cups -> Death -> reversed six of cups -> High Priestess -> reversed four of wands -> four of cups. 

Beginning: Started out ideal. This journey was looking super good at first.

Rising action: There was a moment where everything had to start over. The death card does not necessarily mean anyone actually died, this is a card about new beginnings. However, right in the middle of a quest that’s not a great thing. You had to start over from scratch. 

Conflict: Solitude, doubts. Okay your companion might have bailed. (Fingers crossed that they didn’t die on that last card. They may have just changed their mind and headed home.) Either way, you had to finish this quest alone.

Climax: Knowledge. Since we believe from the previous reading that the quest was for some sort of information, I think this is the moment where you find it. It’s also interesting to see a major arcana card come in to represent this, since there are plenty of minor cards that also represent knowledge. But this particular bit of information came from a major source, maybe another deity? I’d say you found someone with the information you were seeking, and the information could only come from them. If not a deity, then perhaps an oracle or prophet type of figure.

Falling action: Okay so upright the four of wands means completion, but reversed it means mistaken evaluations. There was something wrong with the information, your quest isn’t quite done. You found your information, but it isn’t really in the correct form yet. My best guess is something like a mistranslation, and you need to go back and re-translate the information as your source gave it to you so that what you bring to Artemis is actually right. 

Resolution: Harmony. Things turn out okay. Not to mention, the person depicted in this card is the same “character” as the one used on the eight of cups. I would like to think you reunite here with the companion that bailed on you. (Told you they weren’t dead.) The symbol of the moon is also hiding in the corner of the card. Things worked out in Artemis’s favor too.

Hello! I'm a demigod child of NIke and Ares and I was wondering if anyone would want to talk to me about divine things or even just general things! I'm a lonely demigod, haha.

Hi! I know there are a few of those around, so good luck to you!

How would I know if I'm a demigod?

Hm. I mean I guess it’s different for everyone. One way I’ve heard of people finding out is just that they feel very drawn to a deity and eventually identify that feeling as considering the deity their parent, or the deity tells them so outright. I’ve also heard of people finding out, completely out of the blue, from a deity.

But I suppose you can also realize you’re a demigod without knowing which particular god your parent is. Maybe similarly to how people discover other divine identities. It could come to you in a dream, or in meditation. Or it could just be a hypothesis that makes sense to people when they feel partially divine and partially mortal.

hello! i'm a greek demigod and i was wondering if you could help me find out my divine parent? :o (wow, i feel like an overenthusiatic pjo fan i swear im not)

Don’t worry I wouldn’t judge you even if you were a pjo fan! I love helping demigods.

Alright this question is pretty straightforward, since you already feel confident it’s a greek figure. That means we don’t have to sift through world mythologies for every potential god. 

I did a three card reading: (1) What kind of role they play in the Greek pantheon? (Are we looking for a titan? A minor god? One of the 12 Olympians? A nymph?) (2) What are they a god of? (3) What do you have in common with this god?

1. Five of wands. I was mostly looking for card rank on this. It’s a minor arcana, so likely not one of the big 12 or a titan. However, for a nymph I would have expected a pentacles or cups card. With wands we’re likely just looking for a minor deity. 

2. What are they the god of? Three of cups. Triumph, accomplishment, victory.

3. What’s something you have in common? Two of wands. Desires, goals. You want the same things. You are both very goal-oriented. You’re strategic. You inherited your willful internal drive from this divine parent.

I’m going to make a bit of a leap here but my best guess is Nike. I mean, that three of cups is pretty straightforward. And I know of exactly one minor goddess of victory. But if you want to talk through this further I would be happy to. Also, you should check out @hellenicdivines there are some other demigods there!

hi! i'm a demigod and i was wondering if you could help me find out who my divine parent is? i saw you help someone else via tarot and i'd really apperciate if you'd help me too!

Totally! I’m just going to do that same spread again, if that works for you! I’ll just do a spread to describe them and we can see if it’s a deity we recognize.

Who they are: Queen of wands. So first, it’s likely your mother that’s the divine parent. A powerful, experienced and self confident goddess. Among an active, ruling class of gods. Elements: fire and water.

Their domain: Seven of cups. Meanings: Meditation, dreams, illusion, daydreaming. So if there’s a goddess of dreams that stands out to you, perhaps research her?

Their temperament: The Wheel of Fortune. A little all over the place. That’s an odd card to get for temperament. I would say they don’t really fall into a category of “good” or “evil” or “nice” or “mean.” They can be a lot of things, depending on the situation.

Their pantheon: Justice. A major arcana probably means a major pantheon. One you’ve heard of. So at least this means you don’t have to search for an obscure or independent god. It’s a pantheon that has a very clear structure and set of rules they all respect. The gods are in harmony, and work as a team, not constantly at odds with each other. It’s stable, democratic. 

I hope that gives you a place to start!
