a small part of being an adult imo is about buying yourself things you always wanted to have as a kid but your parents wouldnt let you have and taking childish glee in them

#not religious #this post is about buying air fresheners #at least for me #and also a blender #joy is contained in the blender

Worshipping the gods doesn't have to be super serious devotion level worship all the time. I see some people worry about having "too many deities", but you don't have to have a close relationship with a deity to work with them or pray to them. In fact, it was more common in ancient times to NOT be devoted to any specific deity at all if you weren't some kind of religious figure, like a priest or priestess. Most of the time, there were certain deities that a person would favor, but their worship was not the in-depth type of devotion we see on witchblr a lot. In fact, ancient people sometimes went to a temple for a specific god once in their whole life to pray for something very specific and give offerings and then never needed that specific deity ever again. That's the very nature of these large pantheons. You will have favorites, but even then, you don't NEED to be devoted to them to ask for their help or pray to them.

I say this as mostly a Greco-Roman polytheist, but I'm sure it applies to other large pantheons as well. And, as always, certain gods may be an exception to the rule and require more, both historically and UPG-wise. But it is still a good general rule of thumb. There is no pressure to find a patron or become a devotee of any deity, unless you truly desire to do so.

🦚 Hera appreciation 🦚

Hera is in the bright sky and white clouds after a huge storm.

Hera is in the cool breeze on a cool afternoon

Hera is in the way a mother soothes her child when they get hurt

Hera is in the air that carries the wings of birds

Hera is in the indignation that comes from being betrayed

Hera is in the ones that stand against injustice

Hera is our mother, our beautiful mother. The way she cares for us is unmatched. Blessed is her name, blessed is the great Alexandros, the Queen of Heaven, the bringer of clouds.

praise be to Zeus and Hera, beloved and righteous are thee

Zeus is called King of men and a just ruler of mortals—Hera is called Queen of Kings and guides the highest of mortals

Hera is called the Queen of the heavens and the weaver of the clouds—Zeus is called the thunderer and wrings the life-giving rains for all of earth to drink

Zeus is the protector of humanity, the beaten down and the lost, whom punishes cruelty towards the vulnerable—Hera is the protector of the most vulnerable in ancient hellenic society, women and children. She who looks softly upon the young and He who strikes without mercy

Zeus is the supreme God and King of life, mortal or not, on our lovely planet—Hera is His closest advisor, whose wisdom and words are trusted undoubtedly

I trust the Gods who cultivate Their love and extend it to Their admirers. Khaire Zeus and Hera ⚡🦚🌿

In The Beginning

Begin with Zeus, on every man’s lips

The streets are full of Zeus, and all the marketplaces;

The sea is full of Him, and the harbors:

All of us need Zeus everywhere we go

For Zeus has fathered us all, and smiles on us

And shows us his kindness, and sends us off to our works,

Reminding us what must be done

He tells us when to yoke up oxen,

When to hoe, when to sow seed, and what to plant

For it was Zeus who gave us the heavens

And divided the sky into stars,

And shaped each star differently,

And then made each star point to a season

So men could read His heavens and understand

And all things could grow as they should

We pray to him first, we pray to Him last:

Hail, Father, wonder-worker, men’s great blessing,

Hail to You and to those who came before You

And hail, gentle Muses, smiling on men:

Guide my song, help me,

For I bow to you and pray

- By Aratus in “Pure Pagan: Seven Centuries of Greek Poems and Fragments”

i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake

Putting a spell on you ✨🫰🏽

Dedicated for the love between these two, burning brighter than the falling comet whom birthed the goddess on the shores of Cyprus, and hotter than fire itself. 🐚

Anyways, here are some closeups of the illustrations, as Ares’ simplistic maroon tuxedo were inspired from those beautiful seamless silk/satin suits that you often saw in romantic date nights. While Aphrodite’s clothing and jewelry collection were inspired from the samples of BULGARI, CHANEL, Cartier & Tiffany and Co. + several looks of Thierry Mugler heavy jewelry-centric haute couture worn from the 90s by Linda Evangelista. I always imagined the goddess loves to wearing a tons of them whenever special occasions, not only because jewelry had been essential on how the Greeks worshipped and venerated her as the goddess in the beginning, but she truly does not believe and care about minimalism.
