tiny money jars worked immediately that it scared me :')
ingredients
bay leaf (abundance)
white rice grains (prosperity)
salt (cleansing, protection)
thyme (purification, protection)
moonstone (manifestation)
white quartz (amplifier, cleansing, protection)
i sealed the top off with a green paper and used green ink to write my sigil (amplification), then tied it off. all the ingredients used are just things lying around the house. one of them is placed on my table where i work, and the other is something i can bring around.
i used a lot of protection symbols because i realized that there are so many ways to earn money if you trade off your peace, energy, and integrity. i could be hired into a good-paying job that takes advantage of me, come across opportunities to steal from others, or get a high-paying client that disrespects me – those are things i didn't want to happen.
cleansing motifs are to clear up the factors that prevent the spell from working as you'd like.
supporting spells. put a bayleaf with a fehu rune written on it in places where you typically put your money in (e.g., wallet, coin purse, coin bank).
testimony. roughly 3 hours later, i slept and woke in the middle of the night to a text from someone who ordered from my small business, who paid immediately :') a few days later, my aunt deposited me some money for allowance about the same amount (thank you, auntie). customers in my business increased but also not as stressful for me. more monetary opportunities came my way, though i did not say "yes" to most of them.
feel free to follow this spell or add your own twist to it ♡
One of my favourite little things about Apollo is how casual his and the Fates' relationship was.
Now, this isn't to understate how grave the Fates were in any way, as a matter of fact, it's written multiple times about the complex interplay between the Fates and Zeus (Stobaeus even wrote that the Fates were given the seat closest to Zeus' throne so he could better give counsel on all things from their machinations)
Indeed, even Zeus was beholden to them and even though the Fates usually left things up to natural course (and Zeus in his position as Moiragetes - that is, the Leader of Fates could even intercede on these events, even interrupting when a someone was set to die) in a lot of ways, there are many, many things that even Zeus could never interfere with, things that were above even the King of the Heavens. Some really good examples are things like Persephone's Abduction which the Fates ruled as necessary for the propagation of the seasons and his marriages to Themis and Hera.
By all accounts really, the Fates were incredibly stern, incredibly grave deities who presided over law, order, birth and death and even worked with the Furies to punish those who broke the sacred laws!
And then you have Apollo who was also known by the title Moiragetes (In Delphi, there were only two Moirai depicted and in place of the third was Zeus and Apollo Moiragetes according to Pausanias) but who did things like, checks notes, send the Fates to be the midwives of his paramour Evadne when she had to deliver his son alone in secret (by the way, he also sent the actual goddess of childbirth to help. The Fates absolutely did not need to also be there, he was taking every precaution:
and get the Fates drunk so they would agree to save his bestie Admetus' life:
Keep in mind btw - this con Apollo pulled for Admetus was multi-layered and even included getting Heracles to wrestle Thanatos and keep him still so Apollo could proceed to help Admetus cheat Alcestis away from Fates when Admetus expressed regret for making his wife die in his place:
And I cannot stress enough that Apollo faced zero consequences for this nonsense. NONE. The Fates weren't even cordial with other Gods - they're almost never referred to directly, they were often depicted apart from other deities or described as old, ugly and unable to walk (though, generally speaking they were artistically depicted as young maidens!) and apart from comforting Demeter by going to personally explain what happened to Persephone in some versions of the story, they didn't really get humanised the way most of the other gods or spirits did. Usually they're referred to euphemistically, or someone will speak distantly about a prophecy they once heard was designed by the Fates but Apollo? Apollo knew the Fates! He was good friends with the Fates! And I think it's even cooler when you consider that both instances of Apollo showing off his Fate's Favourite privilege have to deal with birth (of Iamus) and death (of Alcestis/Admetus) which were the two points most deeply associated with the Moirai and why there were usually depictions of them as a pair over that of a triad.
(Excerpts sourced from Theoi, Aeschylus' Eumenides, Pindar's Olympian 6 and Statius' Silvae; though just a note, one instance of the Fates' involvement with Apollo is misquoted on Theoi - that is the Fates being present for Apollo's birth, that's actually a misinterpretation of Evadne's birthing of Iamus.)
I pray to Paian Apolló, The Healer, for my health to come back, as i will soon be wrapped up in much work and studying for exams. May He hear my prayer and accept my humble offerings — 。.:*:・'°☆
actually, Will is just as (if not more) obsessed and possessive about Hannibal but you guys portray him as the 'weewee pls save me from hannibal's insane love' but honestly Hannibal should be saved from Will cause damn my man be psycho
It’s strongly implied that Will infostalked Hannibal and the people he heard about from him, he snapped at Hannibal so jealously when he asked if he was drinking with a patient. Hannibal told him it was his own psychiatrist and nothing more, but he somehow recognized Bedelia’s name, face and the fact she was that psychiatrist when they first met. He openly admitted that he figured out who Margot was too by looking through Hannibal’s private notes. Margot and Bedelia were both beautiful, intelligent high-class women who had weaknesses Hannibal could’ve exploited and Will could’ve seen them as potential rivals, which is honestly pretty chilling, not to mention how intimidating he was towards Alana when he hinted at knowing she avoided being alone with him and in deleted scenes where he told her he could plausibly kill her and nobody would stop him in time. His intentional visualizations featuring Hannibal always involved him brutally defeating or restraining him and physically harming or even killing him while they both visibly enjoyed it.
The first thing he did after getting out of jail was break into Hannibal’s house—implying he somehow knows how to break and enter well, and it was only Hannibal’s enhanced sense of smell that betrayed him— and hold him at gunpoint again while mocking him and grinning when he mimed cowering, even though Hannibal could’ve definitely used that to fully crush his career after all or land him right back there by telling Jack. He snaps at Zeller during the organ harvester case about the corpse in the bathtub being too crude to be the Chesapeake Ripper’s work, calling the Ripper an “artist” and often complimenting him before quickly pairing that with more negative sentiments. He worked the Ripper case pre-canon and the way he describes his mind when asked isn’t even just the Ripper— it’s a description of Hannibal’s, down to those rooms in the basement of his mind palace he keeps boarded up. The staggering depth of that insight makes me think that his excuse of “having a date with the Chesapeake Ripper” may have had more than awkward humor behind it after all, he’s clearly put a ton of dedication and effort into diving into the Ripper’s case and mindset before. He tells Bedelia her fate is sealed because he’ll free Hannibal and knows that he’ll do whatever he tells him to, kill whoever he tells him to even if it’s someone he previously saw mental and physical appeal in who was his second choice for an escape partner.
Bedelia doubts this, calling him reckless and egotistical and saying he’ll get killed alongside the rest, but there’s clearly a niggling worry that he’s right despite her knowledge of Hannibal and his fixation on supreme control that only Will supersedes. Will enjoys hurting Hannibal and is aroused by ideas of it, possessing him, being important to him, being the only one he will show mercy to, the only one he’s challenged by, the only one who throws the intense control he has over his life into disarray, bucks it and steps in to replace it. In the end it really only comes down to the question of which person is the one anyone would say seems crazier: a murderous cannibal, or someone who knew everything about the murder and cannibalism and threw their life away to own theirs not despite that, but because of it? The answer seems clear to me, at least.
Will Graham is the man who gets off on the fact that he has the Devil wound around his little finger and can crush him under his thumb whenever he so pleases.
