"Artemis is a maiden Goddess." Hera began, "She therefore has not married. You condone this?"

Zeus, in return, narrowed his eyes, inclining his head with an abundance of caution.

"Athena is afforded the same. Two of your daughters." Her gaze turned cold in an instant, withering the face of her husband, "So, why should Hebe- Commander of youth itself- be forced into marriage? She is but a child, after all, and she will remain as such."

"Hera-"

In her rage, she allowed him not a spare word. "What authority do you think allows you to address me? Wedding vows? You have never before considered them law and you will not begin now."

Zeus' voice did not strike her as the thunderous depth when he spoke. His words, she found, merely caused her to recognise the emptiness which already lay inside her.

"You may join your daughter." He told her, "If it pleases you. A marriage to Herakles is far from the worst punishment I could consider."

"My daughter." Hera repeated, "She's my daughter until she holds your cup, is that correct?"

Her husband did not grace her insolence with a reply. Many words born of fury graced his lips throughout his reign and yet, in the face of his wife, his Queen, Zeus simply turned away in shame.

I cannot for the life of me get a design I like of this woman

Hey, my name is J, and I found your blog one night when I was trying to find something but didn't know what yet. PS I love it. I grew up in a very conservative christian family but have always been fascinated by the Greek Pantheon. How did you establish a relationship with the gods? How do you know who's talking to you?

Just a noob trying to figure her shit out.

Hi! Oof, I’m a noob too, don’t let me have you fooled haha. I’m figuring it all out as I go. One thing I have learned is that if something honestly truly feels like a sign, and a deity you worship/work with pops into your brain.. it’s most likely them reaching out to you and just give you a little nod. It comes in many ways, but you’ll feel it in your gut.

For me personally energy is a really big thing. It feels stupid to say I just “feel” it but I do. I always know when Aphrodite is in the room because her energy is undeniable. Or if Hypnos is around his gentleness, for lack of a better term, is floating around too.

The first time I reached out to a deity, I just felt an undeniable pull. Reach out to them. Just do it. Even if they don’t “respond” they’re not gonna say no to you wanting to just worship and love them. When you know you know is such a silly phrase but it’s true, trust me. It’s true.

I literally just lit a candle and spoke in my head and also a little bit aloud to Hermes. It was awkward, I stumbled over my words, but it ended with me feeling a rush of comfort and really happy that I managed to do it. Find a divination method that *you* like. Even if it’s super niche or something. Find it and keep using it to get better at it.

Never feel afraid to reach out to a deity, is what I’d say. Even the really scary ones 😅 the myths aren’t all true! I really only use them as a guide to learn about what that specific deity is about. Take your time. No rush.

Hope this helps a little bit! 😊
