Lord Boreas, of the frigid winter wind Winged son of rosy-fingered Eos And starry-robed Astraios Father of Khione and the heroic Boreades By graceful Oreithyia, now your bride I pray to you, as I have prayed to your dearest mother, Erigeneia With a plea for safety as winter storms loom closer Protect the weak and fragile as frost descends across the land ❄️

[persphones-hallow]

Loved by Poseidon, griever of Ceyx, Lady Alcyone I speak your name in this prayer. I thank you for your time and presence, your ever connection towards the sea and those in it. I thank you for the time you spent and showed sorrow, o sweet nymph I thank you.

I speak to thee, ever longing and loyal to her lover Ceyx. Fly with this prayer and praise, beckon those to do the same. Thank you sweet nymph.

Purple winged god of the north wind, breath filled of ice I call to you lord Boreas. Cold as ice as the winter comes into the air, come and hear my prayer to you.

I speak your name in praise, lord Boreas son of Astraeus titan god of stars and the rosy figured goddess Eos, goddess of the dawn. Lord Boreas, with my words I praise and thank your glory of winter and the cold air you bring to us. I thank you for allowing the seasons to continue and grow as we grow older and older.

On the Festival of Boreasmi (Boreasmus)

Boreasmi (Boreasmus): Date Unknown

A festival held in honor of Boreas, celebrated by feasting, and in some demes, with an annual sacrifice. It is possible that it was introduced in Athens after the defeat of Xerxes’ fleet in the Persian war, which was destroyed by a north wind after prayer to Boreas. Boreas was affectionately referred to as brother-in-law by those in Athens due to the story of how he carried off and married the woman Orithyia, daughter of King Erechtheus of Ancient Athens. Little else is known of this festival.

Introduction

Hi! My name is Garden (he/him), and this is my devotional blog to Boreas! I noticed that there weren't any active blogs devoted to him really, so I decided to try and fill that gap. Here, you will mostly see me reblogging things that make me think of him, but hope to also make my own posts. This is a sideblog, my main blog is @gardenkeeper.
