(this movie is the Hellenic equivalent of Scientology like nah I don't actually need to take drugs to feel scared, confused and aroused)

(seriously there's robots and shit like maybe this is the closest we're going to get an actual Warhammer40k movie or something.)

(this whole movie is just lou ferrigno just tits out and everything it's great and terrifying at the same time)

(ok so I suddenly remember the Ares' myth about him being trapped in a jar and I suddenly remembered.... another thing....)

(those giants where giving him an early funeral.)

Does anybody have any advice for learning more about the gods and their myths (also worshiping them)?

Fantasy adventure needs to come back and yes it must be cheesy and crudely made

Happy pride month to the heathens, the maenads, the men with fingers suited to a lyre, the women who find themselves carrying Sappho’s legacy, the children of Bacchus who need no definition, the androgynous & the Achillian, the followers of Hermaphroditus. May you breathe easily.

i’ve kind of fallen off recently

and that happens, its human

but i do want to reconnect with Hestia. everything that i do in devotion to Her never ended but the intention definitely did. it’s more like i’ve been going through the motions of a habit rather than intentionally dedicating what i’m doing to her.

i’m not articulating this well let me explain.

Hestia being of the hearth. historically this would have been the heart of the home the life blood of the family the fire providing nourishment and warmth and light. this is not a common fixture now so in my interpretation, which may not be yours, devotion is not the upkeep of the flame but of the concept of providing for the home and for family.

when we moved i chose my path. i’m a 24/7 carer and a house spouse. i make sure my family has a clean, warm, comfortable home and, i provide care around the clock. i chose this path as a devotion to Hestia. i’ve always been a nurturing person and i felt a strong connection with Her.

then life happened. i started online school full time on top of everything i do, because realistically my life will have to change when my care obligations ends. and my health took itself on its own rollercoaster. and while i never stopped the tasks that had been devotion my head wasn’t in the game. it wasn’t purposeful anymore it was habitual. and i don’t want that.

so i’m going to try to restructure my routines to give myself the breathing room to be intentional.

i have a new set of tarot cards on the way in hopes i can open a dialogue with Her.

Every day I’m like “I want to preach. I want to stand in the town square & recount the glory of Apollo. I want to write holy poetry, I want to offer comfort, I want to care for a temple.” & I’m reminded that…I simply cannot. That brings me great sorrow.

I suppose this is my little altar I offer to the gods. This collection of pixels. I do not have gold or marble or an oracle. I’m sorry.
