Small Alter Plate for my shrine to Hypnos, made it at a lovely clay shop! Blessed be Hypnos, We Thank Him for the blessings He brings this temple!
A prayer to all my gods!
Dear Lord Dionysus, kind god of wine, who brings us pleasure and festivity I ask you for joy and lively energy for myself and my loved ones. I ask you to help us seek true joy in life and in each other, and to lead me with your frenzied guidance. I wish you good days and for delicious wine to always fill your goblet, and I thank you for hearing my prayer.
Dear Lord Hypnos, lovely god of sleep, who brings us rest and rejuvenation, I ask you for good night's rest and good naps, and for myself and my loved ones to awake from each slumber with less tired eyes. I wish you slumber as restful and peaceful as my own, and I wish that the poppies will bloom bright and beautiful in your honor, and I thank you for hearing my prayer.
Dear Lord Hermes, charming god of travel, who brings us trade and fertility, I ask you for safe travels and good luck, for my loved ones and I to travel safely from place to place and for our days to go well in your honor. I wish you the same luck and prosperity, and I will leave heads-up pennies on the ground in your honor, so that I may bestow your luck onto passersby. I thank you for hearing my prayer.
I hope that all three of you accept my prayers, my offerings, and my gifts. I am honored every day to be devoted to you, and I hope you feel similarly about myself. Thank you, Lords Dionysus, Hypnos, and Hermes, for all that you do.
Oh Hypnos of His Feathered Head and Flowers Upon His Feet
Take this offering as it is to you, May all who comes across this be blessed by you with loving sleep and dreams. May all who worship you rest with you in their minds. May all the offerings to you be as gentle as you to us. May all offerings to you be of love. For I am forever faithful to thee, and I feel your smile as you lay me to rest, and I feel your love as I dream.

Guide: Lavender Milk Tea to Hypnos
Hello! Sorry this guide took so long, been busy with college! Here is a guide on how to devote Lavender Milk Tea to Hypnos for either libations or simply devotional acts you can share with the healer!
Materials
Materials needed consist of:
Honey(Symbol of Hypnos)
Milk(Symbol of Hypnos)
Lavender Tea Packet(Symbol of Hypnos)
Cup/Mug
Kettle
Teaspoon or any mixing tool
Steps
First of all, you'd want to start by boiling yourself some water. I personally use a tea kettle. I know some people just put it in the microwave, but I just prefer the taste when it's boiling on the stove. Make sure you are careful!
After that, you want to carefully pour it into a cup or mug after placing the tea inside so it can better soak into the water. Prayer ideas for these actions will be placed at the bottom. I'm planning to get a mug that is centered around flowers or any sort of Hypnos symbol for the next time I make lavender milk tea!
Now, Honey is a food commonly offered to The God of Sleep. This is why I put honey instead of sugar. You'd want to prepare your mixing tool while pouring honey into the tea until you have your preferred sweetness. Make sure you don't put too much honey, it may overwhelm the lavender flavor.
Next, pour your milk and mix. I personally pray throughout most of these steps, I pray or simply talk to Hypnos. It makes the experience gentler :)
I prefer to put my milk tea in the freezer, but you can also drink it hot! Either way it's delicious! You may also pour it to Hypnos or leave it upon His altar. I prefer to "drink it with Him" as you will see in the prayers below. But yes! Your tea is now done :)
Prayers
For Drinking:
"Hypnos who rest in flowers among Erebus, child of Nyx, father of Morpheus, Great God of Rest. I devote this act to you, may this milk aid my rest, may this lavender help my dreams, and may this honey soothe me as you do. Hypnos, winged God who loves His devotees with all, may I feel your love through this tea. May you taste it with me, Sleep Bringer. My gratitude to you is infinite, and may you feel it so. Thank you for listening to this prayer."
For Libations:
"Father of our Dreams, Hypnos God of Sleep. With your branch that drips from the river lethe, you bring us the gentlest part of life as you put your hand to our faces and bring us the loving dreams. To you I create this to, with you in my mind I rest and devote, may this tea be set upon your altar as a sign of my devotion. Hypnos at the throne of rest, see my worship, for I am forever grateful to you. Thank you for all, thank you for listening to this prayer."
In the most desperate hour, the young boy closed his eyes tightly in the darkness. He hid under the blankets in fear of the monsters inside the closet. The arguing in the living room rang in, and teary-eyed he wished for a break in the crashing river of his pain. Slowly he falls into the arms of Hypnos. Hypnos held the boy who wept in the warm embrace. Hypnos whispered to the child to hush and now the healer has arrived, the gentlest of Gods. The child found home in the love of the Sleep God. The deity rocked the boy in His arms like a baby in a carriage. The ebony wings of His brother hits the foot of the boy as He Passes. The Brother Gods watching as the boy slept. Thanatos caresses the face of the boy, moving His loving touch up to the hair. One day, Thanatos will run His scythe through the same locks and return the soul to Hades. Today however, Hypnos will hold Him till dawn.
Dripping silver onto my eyes, they close from the heaviness of the love
kissing His wings as I roll to my side to sleep
kissing His cheek as my breath slows and I fall
deeper and deeper
to His love
to Him
