TO JUNO

THE FUMIGATION FROM AROMATICS

O royal Juno, of majestic mien, Aerial-form'd, divine, Jove's blessed queen, Thron'd in the bosom of cerulean air, The race of mortals is thy constant care. The cooling gales thy pow'r alone inspires, Which nourish life, which ev'ry life desires. Mother of show'rs and winds, from thee alone, Producing all things, mortal life is known: All natures share thy temp'rament divine, And universal sway alone is thine, With sounding blasts of wind, the swelling sea And rolling rivers roar when shook by thee. Come, blessed Goddess, fam'd almighty queen, With aspect kind, rejoicing and serene.

Translated by Thomas Taylor.

TO JUPITER

THE FUMIGATION FROM STORAX

O Jove, much-honour'd, Jove supremely great, To thee our holy rites we consecrate, Our pray'rs and expiations, king divine For all things to produce with ease thro' mind is thine. Hence mother Earth and mountains swelling high Proceed from thee, the deep and all within the sky. Saturnian king, descending from above, Magnanimous, commanding, sceptred Jove; All-parent, principle and end of all, Whose pow'r almighty shakes this earthly ball; Ev'n Nature trembles at thy mighty nod, Loud-sounding, arm'd with light'ning, thund'ring God. Source of abundance, purifying king, O various-form'd, from whom all natures spring; Propitious hear my pray'r, give blameless health, With peace divine, and necessary wealth.

Translated by Thomas Taylor.

࿓༄ go by Kieran; he/him; all my kharis is with illustrious Aether for many years now, but I also venerate all his family and especially his father Erebos. I'm mostly focused on protogenoi. ᨒ

𑁤 Ακμονίδαυς is my personal tag. theoi go by their greek names.

blessed be. 𓏲ּ𝄢

Give heed to the prayers. Oh! most mighty king, the boundless Aer, that keepest the earth suspended in space, thou bright Aether!

went hiking today, and it was very cloudy and windy, but I loved it! Thank you King Zeus and Lady Artemis for showing me your mightyness and the beauty of your realms!

Happy Kallynteria! I didn't celebrate as much as I originally planned since I'm going through lots of stress, but I lit her candles and said a small prayer and studied with her. Friendly reminder that celebrations or festival don't have to be big!! Hail Lady Athena!

Visited a castle in my town and saw many paintings/statues of the theoi 🏛🧿🤲

A thunderstorm is currently coming over my town. Hail King Zeus Bringer of Thunder and Rain, who feeds the plants drying in the summer heat. Praised be!

honouring the oikos as a closeted helpol!

so I live with my parents, and they don't know about my religious practise and are highly atheistic, so it is difficult for me to honour the hosehold gods because I cannot set up an altar for them in our living room or the kitchen. But we always have a candle on our dinner table, that we light when we eat. So I got the idea that I could use that candle to represent the hearth in our home. And now it is dedicated to Lady Hestia, Lord Zeus Ktesios and the Agathos Daimon. Maybe this idea could be inspiring to any helpol out there who's living in a similar situation like mine.

Anyway, have a blessed day!! 🏛🧿🤲
