🕊️ Lesser known epithets of Hermes:

Εριούνιος - Eriunios - the title of Hermes as He’s referred to in the Homeric Hymn; the meaning is most often proposed to be “the most helpful” or “the most beneficial”; initially, in its forgotten etymology, the word might have meant “one who runs well”, though it’s no longer used

Περφεραιος - Perpheraios - the title of the God that Kallimachos calls Him by, describing adoption of the cult of Hermes in Ancient Thrace where Greek Deities received multiple new titles; the meaning isn’t exactly clear though it might be connected to the concept of endurance due to the tragic retelling the author offers - it is possible this is but an allegory

Προναίος - Pronaios - the title of Hermes as given by Pausanias who reports seeing statues of Athena Pronaia and Hermes Pronaios in the temenos of Apollo Ismenios; the word might be connected to the term πρόναος which described the front vestibule of an Ancient Greek temple

Ακάκητας - Akaketas - the title of the God used by Homer and Kallimachos to describe Him as “one who does not hurt” or “one who cannot be hurt” - or connect Him to the town of the same name; same epithet is sometimes attributed to Prometheus, implying a sort of protective power of the Deity

Προπυλαιος - Propylaios - the title of Hermes that He shared with some other Deities, such as Apollo, in His role as the Guardian of the gateways; some refer to an Ancient herm by that title, though others argue that when Pausanias describes it, he uses a form of verb “ονομάζω”, implying that the statue was not inscribed with the name and was instead commonly named that

Νυμφαγέτης - Nymphagetes - the title of the God used to describe Him as the leader of the Nymphs, seeing that Hermes’ early myths speak of Him as tightly connected to different Nymphs, such as Bee Maidens; He shares this title with other Gods, such as Poseidon and Apollo

Τύχων - Tychon - the title of Hermes sometimes attested to Him in connection to His aspect of luck and chance in which He also presided over oracles of chance; the word is thought to be connected to the Ancient Greek term τυχη - “happening outside of human control”, “act of God”, and “luck”

Δαις Ἑταιρος - Dais Hetairos - the title of the God as given in the Homeric Hymn to Him where He’s described as a companion of the feast as He brings laughter to the table; some researchers point out that His lyre is referred to like that too

♇ virgo in the ascendant shows that when people first interact with them, they can be seen as people who are communicative, adaptable and very elegant looking or they could have a very elegant energy. it's mostly because they deemed as someone who is put together and organised, [though sometimes it seems like the men always show the unkept side of virgo], howbeit, they can also appear as off-standish people, people who might display themselves as better than other people or very fussy.

♇ with the first house also ruling self-identity, virgo risings identify themselves as people who need to deliver the best they can. they're the perfectionists of the zodiacs and their security can become low when they feel like they could've done better from what they have created. their creations is like a service to people, they might not notice they feel that way, but whatever they create comes from a form of wanting validation from other people.

♇ moving onto the first house ruling the impression you make on others, with virgo being in this house indicates that virgo ascendants give the impression of the obsessed perfectionist, or people who like to be left alone. [along with other virgo placements], with its sister sign, pisces, virgo rules the hermit, giving the impression that they're people on a path to better themselves, and it doesnt need to be something they want to create, it can include wanting to better themselves from within and the atmosphere they're in.

♇ the first house in astrology is one of the topics that conveys about the personality one would have, to have virgo in the first house shows that you can be a very encouraging person, someone who is modest and sensible, however, the same person can be very self-doubting, and not only to themselves but to other people as well. they can be people who are very critical of others and can be considered as very stiff people, individuals who need to relax.

♇ mercury being the planetary ruler of virgo, it shows that these people can be very multi and adaptable, it's the main planet that gives them the skills and the need to be a jack of all trades. their mercury planet makes them curious, comical and witty but with the virgo sign also being linked with ceres, it gives them the nurturing and providing instinct. being able to give themselves self-care and quite a motherly aura to themselves and to other people.

♇ the ascendant being famous for being one of the topics that rule over the appearance and even the main topic. i figured that virgo risings look more feline than leo risings, specifically due to the eyes, even though they're mercurial and could have droopy eyes, the one i've seen are likely ones to have up-turned eyes, especially the black women, chloe bailey and ice spice; both virgo risings. virgo risings also have very slim waists and thick thighs, [especially if they have strong jupiter in their charts], and they have the type of head-shape that is very anime/alien-like.

♇ with their personal ambition? i have mentioned that virgo risings tend to have a personal ambition of bettering their skills, they're the type of people who want/like to prove their enemies wrong and even defeat them. they might get criticised a lot and it doesnt necessarily have to be from the public, it could be from their friends and family figures, and whenever they're told they cannot do anything, they put their passion and ardent completing the impossible. it can also be from the theme of validation for themselves or from other people.

♇ the ascendant being one of the topics that rules over strengths and weaknesses, having virgo in the first house implies that an individual would have the strength of being self-improving, efficient and mentally agile, though their weaknesses could list into them being cynical people. people who are arrogant and people who can be overly-sensitive.

♇ moving onto how their project their personalities, they project themselves to be encyclopedias, with virgo ascendants there's usually something specific they're extremely good at. where it be astrology, mythology, anime or fictional story lores, they'd be a virgo rising who would take great interest and skill in it, think of young sheldon. virgo risings project their personalities to be those who are always on top of their game, they likely hate to be seen at their lowest, so they're likely one to perform a confident personality that may or may not be their own. [mercurial themes].

♇ onto the subject of how they view the world, virgo risings may view life as something that has many obstacles, especially since majority of them would have aquarius in their sixth house, they could perceive life to be erratic and as something that could bring much troubles to them. they could view life as something to make connections with and as something that needs to be taken care of or things wont go the way it would go for them.

♇ with their self-image, it can be quite difficult for these people, as they're mutable risings, they can sometimes not understand what they look like or who they are. this can cause them to be someone who is constantly changing, it can be a trigger for them to want to be on their own and focus on their own mental-state. they're very self-introspecting and could be the type of people who can worry about their weight, as virgo does rule the stomach. their security levels are very brittle and people could be aware of that which causes them to try and be someone who appears not that way.

♇ ending with the impact they have or leave on others, virgo risings tend to make others feel ambitious into perfecting their skills. if it goes wrong the impact they could leave on others is to make them feel insecure and not good enough. virgo risings can make others feel taken care of or could make them feel like they are of a lot value, which is a really good thing. the impact they could also leave on others is making people believe in themselves.

ARES DOESN'T DESERVE THE HATE HE GETS. 10 REASONS WHY:

Apart from being the god of war, he was also the god of generalship, manliness and civil order, which means that he was the god responsible for the correct function of every ancient city in order of laws and politics.

As the god of manliness, he was considered to be the patron of a fine man that every man looked up to. He was a fighter, not only as a merit from being the god of war, but he always fought for his beliefs, just like at the Trojan War when he complained to Zeus about Athena's unfair action. Also, he was the best father to his children and always supported them and their mothers, just like Cycnus fighting with Heracles, or when Aeropos' mother died during childbirth and he made it possible for the baby to drink milk from his dead mother's body.

He was the only greek god that never raped a woman. All his sexual encounters were consensual and he always seemed to respect his lovers, because he kept his private life low key and none of them suffered or were subjected to tortures, unlike Zeus' or Poseidon's lovers did.

He was the god of dance. Legend has it that before he was taught how to fight, Priapos, his tutor, refused to teach him unless young Ares knew how to dance. Afterall, war is considered to be the ultimate dance a man could perform in ancient times. Also, he appeared to dance for his daughter's Armonia wedding with joy, leaving behind the animosity for her husband Cadmus. Finally, in the feasts of the Gods, it was said that Apollo played the lyre, while the Harites, Artemis, Hermes and Ares danced with great joy.

He was a forgiving god. Despite his enraged and bloodthirsty behavior, Ares knew how to forgive someone and appreciated what they were doing to gain his trust. After Cadmus slaughtered the Dragon, he was put 8 years under servitude to indulge Ares. Finally, Ares not only forgave Cadmus for his crime, but he also blessed his wedding with his own daughter Armonia. Cadmus, in order to gratify the god, built the city of Thebes and made Ares its patron god.

He wasn't a coward. Many greek myths refer to Ares' lack of courage to face danger. This is far from true. At the Trojan War, when he found out about Ascalaphus' death, he disobeyed Zeus' order with the risk of his immortal life in order to go to the battle amd avenge his son's death. He was later stopped by Zeus' thunderbolts. Also, when the Aloadai were about to take Olympus, he was the first god to interfere in battle in order to save Olympus. Afterall, one of his epithets was "Olympus' Protector".

He was sentimental. At the Trojan War he was seen greaving for his children's loss and always wanted to inervene for their safety. Also, he understood the rejection of his parents towards him and he was a lonely god that lacked love. But he found the love he was seeking to Aphrodite, and did not only lust her, but he loved her deeply. Together they had 8 children, and both of them were jealous about each other's affairs, because of Adonis and Eos. They also had an open relationship, because he never refrained Aphrodite from her nature, which was love and sex. Afterall love is not meant to be given to only one person.

He was the protector of women. When Hallirothios attempted to rape his daughter Alcippe, he flashed in the scene and brutally killed the rapist. From that moment on, a temple in Athens was built for Ares "Gynaikothoinas", which means the one feasted/worshipped by women.

He knew the feeling of loss. A war has two sides, the winners and the defeated. A war isn't always to be won, and everyone must learn what it is to lose. He lost many wars, but he also won many. That's why he is among the Olympians.

He was a god of justice. That is because he was referred to be "Themis' Ally", which means that he was a helper to the goddess of justice. One of his least famous daughters, Adrestia, was the goddess of balance, justice and retaliation. Also, "Areios Pagos" or aka "The hill of Ares" was named after him because he was the first man ever to be tried for substatial homicide, for slaughtering Alcippe' rapist.

DON'T TREAT MY BOY LIKE THAT! HE IS JUST ADORABLE!

The dark feminine is not centered around men or anyone else. It is centered around the self and inspires freedom from guilt and self elevation. This then manifests into living an unapologetic lifestyle.

Astrology Theory\South Node Theory

So basically there is a theory in astrology/birth chart saying that if your partner has one of your big 3 in their south node or vice versa. There is a possibility to had some past together in a past life (not always karmic) .

The theory it mostly applies to the Moon Sign out of all big 3 because the Moon represents the soul

For example you have an Aries Moon and your partner has the south node in Aries 🐏♈

Or you have Taurus south node and your partner has a Taurus Moon ♉🐂

Thinking how funny my ex had his south node the same sign as my rising sign 😭😭

ALSO another theory it says that the person who has their south node sign in the same sign as your moon sign, that person is gonna teach you some lessons (lessons can be about anything/related to what sign you have together in the south node/moon)

So I'm not sure 100% if this is true, is just a theory i knew long time ago and i just remembered now about it 😂/😭

Things you can do on the first of the month - along with or instead of blowing cinnamon through your door

An extremely popular practice right now is to blow cinnamon through your door on the first of the month. It’s popular for good reason, as doing this can bring in prosperity for the new month.

However if you cant partake in this practice due to pets, allergies or any other reason - or simply would like to change/add more to your first of the month ritual, I’d like to offer some ideas!

First let’s talk about the significance of the first of the month and blowing an herb into the home. The first day of a month is a starting point. You can set the tone for how the rest of the month will unfold energetically. One is the number of beginnings and potential! Do not worry if you miss it or simply don’t feel up to it on the first you can of course still do the same practices any day of the month.

The act of blowing the cinnamon into your home is to symbolize that energy flowing into your household. This can be achieved through different means and different herbs all based on preference.

Want to change it up? - Alternative actions:

Cinnamon in your coffee

Put or refresh prosperous herbs & crystals in your wallet

Herbs & crystals in the mail box

Burning bay leaves

Prosperity front door wash (don’t forget the doorknobs!)

Cinnamon sticks in / on the mailbox

Burning a green or yellow candle

A small luck or prosperity ritual/working

Drinking mint tea

Sweeping! (Clear out that old stagnant energy!)

Prosperity herb scented hand / body soap

Make / feed / refresh money bowl

Blowing cinnamon in a house would be activating it using the air element - try a different element (burning, burying or putting in water)

Can’t use cinnamon? - Some other plants for prosperity:

Mint

Allspice

Bay leaves

Black tea

Catnip

Cilantro

Clover

Ginger

Moonwort

Oats

Oregano

Parsley

Peppermint

I hope this takes some pressure off and gives you new ideas!

Hey everyone I have a quick question.

So for the past couple months I’ve been finding rusty old nails in random places. My steps out front of my house, my sidewalk, and at my friends house, all of which shouldn’t have rusty nails.

Do you think it’s a message from a deity or just a weird coincidence?

Thanks
