Before I go to sleep, I offer this prayer, mostly for my own peace of mind:
To the loving gods of Olympos and beyond, the gods of the depths of the Underworld,
May Dionysos Androgynos stand by the side of all transgender and gender non-conforming individuals in the face of adversity.
May Ares Enyalios raise his arms in support of those who are impacted the most by the needless war that has been raged against us.
May Aphrodite Symmakhia remind those who struggle how beautiful, handsome, and gorgeous they look within their own skin and how worthy they are of love from others and love from themselves.
May Hermes Kharidotes grace the hearts of those suffering with boundless joy, adventure, and laughter, and may every new day bring something new to look forward to.
May Apollon Paean help to mend the internal (and even external) wounds of those who have endured countless emotional attacks and survived an endless mental warfare.
May Artemis Hemerasia soothe the troubles and worries of all those who doubt their own legitimacy and place in the world, and remind them that they do belong and that they are enough as they are.
May Athena Alalkomeneis watch over all who require her divine protection and keep them safe from all forms of harm, evil, and malintent.
May the Good Gods watch over us all - those who do not fit into society's standard of gender - and bring us peace, safety, and, above all, self-love. We deserve to feel happy, loved, and safe. Take care, everyone. 🧡
