#zagreus deity

[ivetteflowerblooom]

I feel like we don't give enough appreciation to the fatherly side of the gods. How about Zeus, who taught young Artemis archery? How about Poseidon, who proudly made Triton his herald? How about Ares, who carefully brushed Eros' wings? How about Hades, who lovingly lulled baby Zagreus to sleep? How about THAT

Ζαγρεύς Παιάν

Healer

Healing involves discomfort. But so does refusing to heal. And over time, refusing to heal is always more painful.

MORE HELPOL SLAPS. COVER YOUR CITY

“But graffiti is illegal” so is existing as a trans person in a fuck ton of places, fuck the law when it’s something as harmless as existing and making art baybee.

Thus I sing of Zagreus Mēn, protector of the weak and poor, healer of the mind and soul, Moon-faced god. Come, the Almighty One, for the hearts of each and every one are always thirsty to heed your voice.

Immortal resources, personification of time and age. Chronos whom bred with his boundless coils Aither, he of boundless death and time I call to you and speak within time. Come forth as I thank you for the time I have and experienced.

Great hunter of the underworld, honored underneath Nyx (night), horn wearer, and strong I call to the second Dionysus [Zagreus] for his continuation in guidance and praise. Zagreus, prince of the underworld and god of the Orphic Mysteries, I call to you from a place of wanting wisdom and knowledge underneath your domains, thank you for your tradition and the religious guidance you give
