Lord Hermes devotional drawing

[the-purvashadha]

When you step into sunlight, you honor Apollo. When you admire the moon, you honor Artemis. When you admire cloud shapes, you honor Hera. When you smell petrichor, you honor Zeus. When you laugh at a joke, you honor Hermes. When your body twitches to dance at a particularly upbeat music, you honor Dinoysus. When you enjoy the first bite of your breakfast, you honor Demeter. When you choose your peace over any conflict, you honor Athena. When you warm yourself up by sheltering yourself in blanket, you honor Hestia. When you listen to Ocean sounds, you honor Poseidon. When you smell flowers, you honor Persephone. When you admire the coolness of first day of Autumn, you honor Hades. When you wear your favourite jewellery, you honor Hephaestus. When you smile, you honor Aphrodite. When you exercise, you honor Ares. When you light a torch in a dark room, you honor Hekate.

Your body is a shrine to Gods, your being an act of devotion for them. You, by yourself, are enough for them.

I want to say an important thing for our time.

Minors are people. Minors can research. Minors can be devoted to gods, seek their assistance, guidance... Moreover, minors that are in our community, in ancient times were already let to participate in temples and offerings. Temples of Artemis were basically like kindergartens, with children of varying ages.

Artemis is by my side in these words. She who protected and guided children of her temples. She who takes care of children.

There is no reason for minors to be excluded. And if you think they should be excluded, then you're denying and disrespecting the guidance of Artemis, and therefore, what kind of helpol even are you?

This community is a place of safety, and I'm gonna say that — We can't let down minors because they also deserve to be safe in their beliefs.

Annual Witchblr reminder that Hecate's origin is ancient Greece, not Wicca.

Hecate being three formed (Trimorphis) represents her domain of the crossroads, not the maiden/mother/crone triple moon goddess. Hecate predates Wicca and its triple goddess by at least couple thousand years.

You can’t be anti immigrant and worship Zeus

[mythicalmuseomine]

To Lord Apollon, on the seventh day, I am devoted to you.

God of archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, knowledge, medicine and logic, the Sun and light, poetry and Leader of the Muses

I sang today a little, I wrote a little, and I thanked the sun. I awoke before sunrise and watched it rise and thanked it. I shall burn candles for you later, my lord, as well as an offering. There are too many things to worship about you, my lord.

Praise Ares; God of manhood and masculinity, of conflict and rebellion, of strength and courage.

Praise Ares, God of all who cower, God of the oppressed and God of the ups and downs of life.

Praise Ares, father, son, and lover. Kind, loving Ares, blood-soaked and no less important for it.

I have been thinking recently of the various facets of Ares. He is so much more than a God who fights; he is who teaches us to set our armor aside and dance, he who teaches us that the most masculine thing one can do is not just to cause harm, but to love fiercely; to protect, to nurture. What is more masculine than love, especially to love so strongly that one would fight for it? To love a person, to love an ideal, to love a belief so dearly that it becomes your guiding star as you move through the conflicts and anger and hardships of life? I don't see much love for Ares as the God of cowards, either. God of all who flee, God of those who are scared to fight... and God of courage, of fighting while scared. Ares is not a God who has no fear; he delights in it. He dances with it. He tells us that fear is how we live, that fear and love and anger and joy and conflict and peace -- all of these are beautifully, beautifully human. It is proof we are alive.

Praise Ares.
