Daughter of great Protogonus, divine, illustrious Rhea, to my pray'r incline, Who driv'st thy holy car with speed along, drawn by fierce lions, terrible and strong. Mother of Jove, whose mighty arm can wield th' avenging bolt, and shake the dreadful shield. Drum-beating, frantic, of a splendid mien, brass-sounding, honor'd, Saturn's blessed queen. Thou joy'st in mountains and tumultuous fight, and mankind's horrid howlings, thee delight. War's parent, mighty, of majestic frame, deceitful saviour, liberating dame. Mother of Gods and men, from whom the earth and lofty heav'ns derive their glorious birth; Th' ætherial gales, the deeply spreading sea goddess ærial form'd, proceed from thee. Come, pleas'd with wand'rings, blessed and divine, with peace attended on our labours shine; Bring rich abundance, and wherever found drive dire disease, to earth's remotest bound. --(Orphic Hymn to Rhea)

Hella underrated goddess if you ask me

[pink-lemonade-rose]

Callimachus (Diegesis fr. 101 Pfeiffer) and other sources state that a lion’s skin lay at the feet of the statues of Hera in Argos and Samos. [...] Hesiod reports that Hera was instrumental in raising the Nemean lion (Theogony 328). Bacchylides also mentions that “in the blooming plain of Nemean Zeus, white-armed Hera approached the dark-roaring lion,” whose strangling fulfilled the first of the famous labors of Heracles (9.6ff.). Hera is even seen holding a lion in representations of the Judgment of Paris, as she still does, for example, on a drinking cup of the late fifth century B.C. In the Heraeum on Delos, French archaeologists have found Archaic clay statuettes of a goddess sitting with a lion in her lap. If the site of these finds were unknown, these seated figures would be classified according to type as Rhea.

Your shallow heart doesn't soothe me.

Your false love won't break me.

Don't make me pity you.

Mother's Day (Month) Shrine May 31, 2024

To the Mothers of The Gods— Sumerian Amadiĝirdiĝir Namma & Hellenic Mêtêr Theôn Rheia

I wanted to get a shrine up during this month since I couldn't manage it on Mother's Day itself. I'm not sure if I can do any ritual, maybe just a libation at the shrine at least. Changed the incense to lavender.

Happy Mother's Day to all deserving mothers 🤍
