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.

Astrology: Capricorn, Gemini, Cancer

Vibes: 22, peacock, blues, greens, arcane, throat chakra, rose quartz, femininity, trust issues, wild flowers, cows, Lady Hera, vampires, courtship, royalty, crown chakra, puss in boots, frieren, fire spirits

Cards: Ace of Wands x2, Apprentice of Cups, Garden

Pile one, it is so crazy I pulled from two different tarot decks but drew the ace of wands twice for your pile. Your guides have always aimed you towards success and passion even if you didn't know it was them effecting little things here and there to make it take place. They love you so deeply. They love you the way a dedicated mother loves her children. They are your guardians in every sense of the word. They have and will continue to protect you with all of their power. Even when things look impossible or the future is unclear just know if you ask they are always willing to bring you opportunities whenever and where ever. Please just ask. I feel that they probably wont do things FOR you but they will clear a pathway for you to travel down.

I am seeing that they do still give you lessons. Lessons that are not always easy but if you fall mid-lesson or make a mistake, be sure they will send you a gift or a sign as a pick-me-up. You just have to look and listen for it. Instead of getting caught up in the roadblocks.

If you are wondering what other things you can look for to recognize your guides. Please look to the greenery around you. You will find their essence when you take a second to smell the roses. You will see them in the weeds growing through sidewalks. You will feel them when the breeze hits your skin and rustle the trees. The symbolism they want to show you in these images is that you will grow no matter what. That the winds of change will carve out a road for you. They will make sure of it. They will shepherd you to where you need to be, no worries. They love you.

thank you again for reading with me :D

Cards: Elder of Wands, 5 of Wands, Knight of Wands, Moon

Hi, pile two. Your guides have so much fire and passion for you. Im getting conflicting messages for this one so please take what resonates and leave the rest. Your guides are in your ear almost 24/7 but you have MANY different guides due to your natural inclination to be good to everything and everyone. However the mass amount of spirits that follow you get loud and have conflicting ideals and plans for you. It is difficult for them to all speak to you at once. They are almost competing for your affection. Your guides give the vibe of like an adoring fanbase. Pile two, your energy must be genuinely intoxicating. The perfect balance of masculine and feminine. A Rebis by nature. Your guides have one thing in common though. They know you will be truly successful one day. You will shine like the sun with such abundance that you will make the stars jealous. Maybe sooner than you think. When you want conformation from your spirits it would suit you best to look inwards to listen carefully. When you are wondering about your guides you will feel them in the fires of passion or see them in the animals around you. When you feel so certain and determined that something will be yours. When you are having blissful fun or laughing so hard your sides hurt. That in itself is your guides instilling their confidence in your abilities. If you are struggling with self doubt or anger that means your guides are being blocked by outside forces. Cleanse your energy with smoke, crystals or celestial light. Sit out in the sunlight or moonlight. Be still for just a moment and listen. Reality can get very overwhelming and it can distract us from our goals and our dreams. Pile 2 your guides want you to know that your dreams will come true. Never stop chasing them. It is okay to take breaks to refocus or re-cooperate but never ever give up. They are all rooting for you with all their souls.

thank you again for reading with me :D

PILE THREE

Astrology: Virgo, Pisces, Aquarius

Song: Once Upon a December by Liz Callaway or What I Want by Gregor McMurray

Vibes: Gold, diamonds, butterflies, snow, cold weather, ice, bears, angel wings, lullaby, ballet, insomnia, hummingbirds, memory, family, death, desire, delusion, 1212, low vibrations, hail mary, maiden mary, water spirits

Cards: 2 of Swords, 7 of Pentacles, Ace of Cups, Owls

Pile three, your guides feel a bit distance from you but I dont think is because they don't care. They love you. Some of them feel like family members that have passed on. And I think if you really wanted something, you could ask them and they would hand it to you on a silver plater because of the love they feel for you. Yet, you refuse. There is some kind of pride in the way of you taking the offers they keep giving you. You want to succed all on your own? Or you are paralyzed by indecision. Either way your guides are so proud of you. You have made much progress on your own and they got to watch you succeed all on your own. But it hurts them to watch you fall and then refuse a miracle. You would rather choose the white dangerous waters than the still calm waters everyday if it meant you didnt ask for or accept help from the spirits AND people around you. They aren't asking me to tell you to take their offers. If anything they would prefer you accept their gifts on your own just as you have declined them on your own. Your independence is astonishing. (this is the reader telling you this now: TAKE THE DAMN OFFERS PLEASE. the path would be SOOOO much EASSSIERRR. okay im done) If you are interesting in seeking out your guides i recommend keeping an eye out for gardening tools, checkered patterns, doves, humming birds and flower pots. They do wish to contact you but will wait for you to come to them patiently.

thank you again for reading with me :D

PILE FOUR

Astrology: Aries, Scorpio, Taurus

Song: Blood in the Wine by AURORA

Vibes: Crafting, coffin, tigers, feathers, ink, dogs, full moon, Lady Hekate, white flowers, 44, 1234, heart, lungs, eyes, surgery, hedonism, facing a fear, sailor, uncharted waters, air spirits

Cards: 9 of Cups, Judgement, Magician, Letter

Hello, pile four! You have like 3 or 4 very distinct spirits that guide you. Not because of the lack of candidates though. You are very picky with the advice you like to take from the living AND the non-corporeal. The energy you have picked out feels very structured. You don't like your guidance to be wishy-washy. Your discernment guides you more than the spirits do. If you wish to contact the guides you have approved of then I recommend automatic writing. Let the messages come to you from you. You can trust your own judgement to discern what is important and what is not. After writing, reread the messages at a later time, probably after a good rest. When you reread them, look deeper than the initial words. Analyze it like your in english class and find the hidden meaning underneath. You will start to see what your guides have in store for you. You find what gifts they want to give you and you will rally your resources expertly to complete whatever goal they want to assist you with. You are already the master of your reality, your guides just want to see you bloom again and again. You have everything you need and anything more that is required. All you must do is ask. Wish for what you want. I see you have the spiritual backing and the self discipline/passion to get the support you need to achieve anything you desire.

thank you again for reading with me :D

🫧The Importance of Epithets🫧

Adhara's post introduction: Hello, lovebugs! Today's post is about epithets! Hope you guys like it! I've always found Epithets something essential in my practice, so I wanted to share some knowledge and information for you guys!!

🎐What are Epithets?

🦢 Throughout ancient Greek writing and mythology, there is something known as epithets. The definition of epithet is repeated descriptive adjectives or phrases linked to a specific character, either a God or Hero, that are used to describe a specific characteristic of they hold.

🎐 What is the importance of the Epithets?

🦢 Epithets are important not only to know more about your Deity, but also to know what type of works they do with their devotees, and also to know which energy you may resonate more with.

🎐 How to know which Epithet I'm working with my Deity?

🦢 First, I recommend you to do multiple researches about your Deity, then see which one resonates more with you, then you ask them for confirmation, it's best if you have the Epithets in hand and go through it with your Deity, especially if you don't feel your intuition pushing you towards an specific epithet.

🎐 What are examples of Epithets, and what they can mean to me?

🦢 Here's some examples of Epithets and their meanings and what they could mean in works (from my perspective, of course):

- Aphrodite Areia, the warlike. A surname of Aphrodite, when represented in full armour like Ares, as was the case at Sparta: It can help at getting more confident in yourself and getting through challenges.

- Athena Paeonia(Paiônia), i. e. the healing goddess, was a surname of Athena, under which she had a statue at Athens, and an altar in the temple of Amphiaraus at Oropus: It can help through mental and physical traumas and how to live past them.

- Hekate Atalos; the tender-hearted, or Hekate the delicate: Helps through understanding that even if you're powerful, you can still be kind and soft-hearted.

- Ares Aphneiós; rich, wealthy: It can help with finances, such as saving and controlling your money better.

- Demeter Brimo;(Brimô), the angry or the terrifying, occurs as a surname of several divinities, such as Hecate or Persephone: It can help understanding where your anger comes from.

🎐 Are all Epithets usable in our worshipping?

🦢 That's a tricky question, some Epithets were used in a specific part of Greece or another place, so they may not be fit for some of us.

🌸 On Spring 🌸

The earth flowers for you, Hera Antheia, and for you, daughter of rich-haired Demeter. The skies open and the sun dispenses its millions of rays for your glory, bringing to light the myriads of petal-soft jewels that cover the earth, nursed by the Kharites and brought to life by their midwives, the Horae. The days grow longer because you add time to them; the birds sing you songs, sweet melodies that delight the soul, because they are full of love for you who love them and nourish them as your own. Hail, great goddesses, on this beginning of spring! Rejuvenate us just like you rejuvenate the earth, make us anew just like you renew nature and its beauty, and be propitious to us all.
