The fact that there are gods with disabilities makes me so emotional. Hephaestus, Tyr, Hodr, Odin and other disabled deities just prove that being disabled is a vital part of the human experience, not a deviation from it, and that concept alone is so moving. Just like there are deities for specific human experiences like fertility or war, there are also deities with disabilities, which just proves that we have just as much of a place on this earth as mothers and warriors do. The idea of that has genuinely pulled me through some hard times.

It's so wonderful to me that, as worshippers of the gods, we often express traits of their domains.

Apollo worshippers being a light in the lives of others...

Artemis worshippers valuing life in all forms...

Aphrodite worshippers engaging in random acts of kindness...

Hermes worshippers guiding others who are lost...

Athena worshippers having wisdom beyond their years...

Ares worshippers standing up for what they believe in...

Hephaestus worshippers inventing untrodden paths...

Dionysus worshippers persevering through the madness...

Persephone worshippers being as vibrant as flowers...

Demeter worshippers nourishing others' souls...

Poseidon worshippers riding the waves of life...

Hera worshippers faithfully supporting those they love...

Zeus worshippers assuming the roles of a natural leader...

Haides worshippers holding space for others in their lives...

Hestia worshippers being beacons of warmth and comfort...

.

It's beautiful that we, as worshippers express the domains of our deities, even in ways that we aren't fully aware of.

Hmmm Wip

Tried to maintain facial structure basic in Apollo sculptures 🤔

I didn't realize this needed to be said, but uhh

If you are a Nazi, you have no place in paganism.

(Or anywhere, actually 🙂)

And to clarify (since ya'll need that, apparently), that includes people who are transphobic, homophobic, pro-eugenics (i.e. social darwinism anti-vaxxer people), anti-immigrant, racist, etc.

Ya'll don't belong here, paganism is not a safe place for you, and I don't want you interacting with my blog.

No TERFS, no conservatives, none of it. Freedom and equality for all.
