May the gods protect all the little animals

The little bugs

The little rodents

The little birds

The little ones on the street who can’t find food

I hope they are protected <3

By the way if you support Greeks and you are anti colonisation of culture,you won’t watch the new movie from christopher Nolan. He hasn’t respected or heard our wishes and we PAID him to do the movie in our islands in exchange that the movie will be accurate and some Greeks will work in it. He hasn’t respected either of those wishes,and AGAIN we don’t see accurate representation of our culture. If you think that discrimination is wrong,you don’t pick and choose who’s a victim based on how YOU look like. This is how an accurate movie about greek culture is made :

We have been genocided and colonised countless times and you still don’t respect us. Do you know what hitler said as an excuse to kill us? That we have no connection to the Ancient Greeks. THAT is what you are trying to push with this agenda.

This is the best artistic rendition of Mother Hera I've ever come across. She's so beautiful I can barely move my eyes. So gentle and loving. Btw this is not my creation. The creator has their name in the corner and they're in devianart so all credits to them and a load of gratitude cuz this is very very accurate to how I see my Mother in my mind. I found this pic on Pinterest so yep. BUT MOTHER DO I LOVE YOU?!!!!! I could cry just by looking at this.

I just love them so much!

Aphrodite; Prayer to protect your heart

Blessed Aphrodite,

Goddess of Love, born of seafoam and starlight,

I come to you with an open heart,

Wounded by longing, yet still beating with hope.

Let not false love find purchase in my spirit,

Nor cold hands hold what is meant to burn with warmth.

Teach me to love without losing myself,

To give with wisdom, to receive without fear.

Guard my heart from those who would break it in carelessness,

And guide me to those who cherish with truth and tenderness.

In moments of loneliness, be my comfort.

In the storm of emotion, be my calm.

Aphrodite, divine protector of the heart,

Hear my prayer and hold me close.

May your beauty surround me, and your strength dwell within me.

Mnemosyne

The Titan who aids the oracles in remembering their visions. She also aids in the recall of dream messages from the gods. And she is the one who allows artists to remember the inspirations brought on by her children: the Muses.

I think many of us get so caught up in altars, divination, and research, that we can lose sight of what is in front of us. This happened to me for a long long time, before I finally said, “The Gods truly are everywhere.”

They are with us always. They live through us. And most importantly, they will always be there through all things we see and do. No altar for them? No worries, simply connect. The world is our altar.
