Aphrodite, the Prime Creatrix

A Theological Analysis (part 2/??)

Disclaimer: this post is made with pure theological observation with limited basis in historical documentation. I do not make this post with an intent to present a fact, but rather a possibility.

The "Birth" of Aphrodite

We generally consider this story as "canon" in the Hellenic Polytheist community: Kronos cuts off Ouranos' genitals which fall into the Mediterranean and voilà, Aphrodite. While I myself also consider this story, I also wonder what it means on a more philosophical and spiritual level. So I pose this notion: Aphrodite wasn't born out of the Sea, she created the Sea and emerged from it.

Aphrodite is eternal, she is the motherless Mother of All. Aphrodite fell into Chaos, the primordial void, and created the Sea.

Not just any Sea, the Eternal Sea. The Sea of Matter.

The Sea of Eternity

It's basic physics knowledge that matter cannot be created nor can it be destroyed. Matter is eternal. It's not exactly correct to say that Aphrodite created matter, but rather coaxed it into existence. She gave a pre-existing concept form. In the previous part of 'A Theological Analysis' I discussed how Michaelangelo's 'Creation of Adam' can be interpreted as Adam contemplating the concept of God and giving him an image. Aphrodite, I believe, did the same. She contemplated the concept of Matter, and gave it an image: The Cosmic Ocean.

Now, I'd like to mention. There's two layers to this: Matter is eternal, and matter occupies space. "Matter is Eternal" can be personified in the person of Aion, the personification of eternity and cyclical time. "Matter occupies Space" can be personified as Nyx, the personification of Night. Nyx and Aion emerged out of Chaos with the contemplation of Aphrodite.

Aphrodite is less a creatrix than a thinker thinking ideas. Which can mean the same thing, actually.

However, Aphrodite created the Cosmic Ocean. She conceived Eros, not made him. Similar to the Christian doctrine of Jesus being begotten by God, not made (My small detour in Christianity did give me some interesting ideas).

Eros, Conceived Uncreated

So, who's his father? Aphrodite. Aphrodite is his father, just as She is his mother. Aphrodite is self-sufficient and doesn't need a counterpart to create with. Eros along with being her Son, is also her complete dominion. Love is Aphrodite's dominion. Eros is the god and personification of pleasure, love and s-x. Aphrodite holds full authority over him. Eros is the archer, Aphrodite guides the arrow.

Eros is similar to Jesus, not the same. Jesus acts naught outside the will of the Father, Eros acts naught outside the will of the Mother.

Speaking of which, Eros is dual, so is Aphrodite. Plato knew of this, but Xenophon had a considerable idea about it.

Ourania and Pandemos

Xenophon believed that Aphrodite Pandemos was an extension of Aphrodite Ourania. Pandemos was the goddess of carnal desire, simple love, unity, political stability, civil order and family. Ourania on the other hand was a goddess of the 'purer' intellectual and soulful love. Plato believed these two to be different goddesses, but Xenophon believed them to be extensions of each other. You may fall in love with someone for their intellectual maturity and their kindness but then develop s-xual feelings towards them and vice versa. These two epithets merely describe two aspects of a multifaceted complex divinity. Aphrodite is, in essence, the eternal love the divine hold for their creation. She loved us enough to make us.

Grace be to the Gods. Euoi.

[doevademe]

As a continuation for the time travel prompt (big up to the one who came up with it and to you for giving life to it, I love how your brains work) I propose maybe a plot twist: by the time young perce and nico come to terms with their future, they hear the wailing of a few months old baby girl who looks legit like a mix of the two from upstairs? And chaos ensues? Maybe? (By that I mean they re not only married but they discover they re parents too thanks to godly magic).

[Other parts of the fic: 1, 2, 3]

"So in the future you become like a badass demigod mercenary? And sometimes you take me with you?" Young Percy asked Nico's younger self, who just shrugged. "That's... actually really cool!"

"It is pretty cool," his Percy commented as he opened a can of spritz from their last trip to Venice. "And after brainstorming last night, we think your being here is a consequence of our last outing."

"What were you guys doing?" His younger self asked curiously as Nico just tapped his foot, waiting for the image to clear.

"Getting some sand for a primordial," he said. "It's the primordial in question that makes me suspicious."

"You called exactly when I expected you," the magical image finally spoke. Nico had enough experience to know that the older a deity, the more exentric and weird they were, but he still had to double take at the image of a crone with a young woman's face the primordial of Destiny sported.

"If you knew, why keep me on hold, Ananke?" Nico asked, all fake politeness. The goddess changed, now having the body of a baby and the face of an old woman.

"Woah, that's really frea—" his husband acted quick, putting his hand over his younger self's mouth. Nico gave him a grateful smile.

"I also answered when I was expected to," she said, looking perplexed. "You are wondering why there's time displaced versions of yourselves with you."

"Yeah, that's pretty much it," Percy said as his younger self struggled to get out of his grip. "Was there something in the gem you paid us with or something?"

"Nothing of the sort," she said with an airy laugh, changing to a woman in her forties with a baby face. "It's because the sand I needed for my clock is filled with the essence of Aion."

"The primordial of Time," Nico said, mostly for Younger Percy's sake (and his Percy, too, but he knew better than to ask questions while he was talking with deities). "We rolled on the stuff to get away from a Drakon, so we're also infused with his essence."

"Time is eternal and cyclical. By getting his essence, you pulled on people from other times, and they are anchored to you. They'll remain in this time until the essence fades."

"In other words, we're radioactive," Percy said with a sigh. Young Percy used the opportunity to break free and get in front of Nico, glaring at the woman.

"Okay, so I have two questions," he said loudly. Nico resisted the urge to facepalm. "One, how long will that essence cling to them? Two, will we remember what happened?"

Nico loved Percy. With all his heart, even at his worst. But right now, he wished their Time-radioctiveness had brought a mellower old man version of his husband instead of him at his most... Percy.

"Destiny is found out by mortals in time, my dear... but depending on how much essense they absorbed, it could be anywhere from a few days to a month."

Their eyes widened. He and Percy tended to get... busy right after a mission (don't judge him, it saved them a bath), so they had had that sand clinging on them for hours!

"As for the other question.... Your Destiny was to come here. While the memories will be gone, the experiences will remain. A tiny little voice that will remind you 'I should be doing this'..." Ananke said with excitement. "It was needed so neither of you would give up on each other! And just like that, our time is u—"

"Please toss another Drachma for five more minutes," Fleecy's automated message recited. Nico sighed and dissipated the rainbow.

No one spoke for a few minutes, teying to proccess the information.

"Percy mentioned a gem," Young Nico said finally. "What was it for?"

"Uh... for our future," his Percy said evasively. "Look, we only take on jobs from primordials for special things and... it's nice to have the option."

"Option for..." Young Percy drawled, finally finding an opening to bother his older self. His Percy looked away, coughing. "Come on, your future husband asked you a question. Answer him."

His younger self blushed and hid behind him. Nico was torn between considering himself adorable or embarrassing.

"It's a tiny, tiny fragment of the World Egg that birthed the universe," Nico said. "It can create anything... within reason. I'm not very trustful of Love and Fertility gods, so this was a nice compromise for eventually... having a baby."

Nico knew that Percy had wanted a family of his own since he was little, and that was the one thing Nico wasn't sure he could give him. When Ananke offered the gem in exchange for a job, he had jumped at the chance. Young Percy's eyes widened and he glanced at Young Nico for a moment before blushing heavily.

"Oh, speaking of baby-making," his Percy said, making their younger selves squirm. Nico raised an eyebrow. He was doing it on purpose. "We need to set ground rules for you guys."

"Ground rules? This is our house too!" Young Percy argued.

"You're minors, and this won't be your house for another four years," Percy said, blowing a raspberry. Nico looked away. His husband was a five year old in a 27-year-old body sometimes. "So, first of all, now you know you'll get together, but I want no exploration of that in this house."

"I wouldn't!" Young Percy exclaimed. Young Nico shrank on himself, making Young Percy's eyes widen. "Not that I don't want to— I mean, I'm still with Annabeth, and I'm not a cheater!"

Young Nico nodded, relaxing a little.

Adorable, Nico decided. I was adorable.

"Good. Second of all—"

A loud cry stopped them all in his tracks. Nico and his husband reacted first, followed by their younger selves as they opened one the rooms.

Inside was a craddle with little baby with dark black hair and striking green eyes. The name 'Emilia' was carved on the craddle.

Nico moved first, picking up the baby and rocking her lightly. The girl looked at him and stopped crying immediately.

"It's okay, Emmy, papa is here," he said softly, checking to see if there was anything wrong with her.

"Did you guys use the gem already?" Young Percy asked, looking at the baby. "It sounded like you didn't!"

"We... we haven't yet," his husband said slowly, getting closer to Nico and the baby. "But there's this feeling when I look at her... I know she is my daughter."

From the look Nico saw on his younger self's eyes, he knew both were thinking the same.

Aion's essense. If it pulled them from the past, it could also pull someone from the future. Someone so close to them it was basically their conbined selves.

Like Nico and Percy's future daughter.

"Damn Time Radioactivity!" Young Percy said once he caught on. Young Nico slapped his arm. "Hey!"

"Watch your language in front of our daughter!"

Percy and Nico looked at each other.

This complicated things even further.

#You said chaos and I delivered #I hope #Percico #my writing #Cue Percy taking the kids to buy baby supplies #and Nico wondering if this is the best of worst day of his life #I could tag this drabble but #it's not a drabble at this point #sorry this one took so long #it was a hard one to conceptualize #writing prompt

The Greek Gods - Full List and Background

The Primordial Greek Gods

Greek mythology starts at the beginning of the world! The Greek Gods that existed then were the Primordial Gods. The famous work of Hesiod, called Theogony (meaning “birth of the Gods” in Greek), presents a complete cosmogony. Natural forces are personified and the most basic components of the cosmos are Gods.

According to Hesiod, in the beginning there was Chaos. Chaos was the personification of the absolute nothingness - an immerse, dark void from which all of the existence sprang. Out of Chaos came Eros, the god of love and procreation. We can see that ancient Greeks considered love as one of the most fundamental powers in the world. Then Tartarus was born, a dark place like the abyss and the original god of the Underworld. Goddess Gaia then followed, the personification of Earth. Erebus, the god of darkness, and Nyx, the goddess of the night, were also born from Chaos. From Gaia came Ourea, the god of the mountains, Pontus, the god of the sea, and Uranus, the god of the heavens.

The full list of the Primordial Greek Gods:

Achlys: the goddess of the eternal night. The first creature that some say existed even before Chaos himself. According to Hesiod, she is the demon of death.

Αether: the god of light. The spark of life for every creature. Etymologically, Aether means the highest and purest layer of air.

Αion: the god of eternity. He was a ghostly primordial deity who personified the meaning of time (sometimes he is confused with god Chronos). In Greek, Aion means “century”. Although incorporeal, he was also portrayed as a monster with a snake body and three heads: one human (male), one bull and one lion. According to a myth, Aion and his companion, Ananke (also with a snake body), wrapped themselves around the cosmic egg and broke it to form the "sorted" Universe (earth - sky - sea).

Ananke: the goddess of inevitability, compulsion, and necessity. She was an inevitable divine force.

Chaos: the god of the void. He was the beginning of all life. According to most versions of Greek myths, Chaos pre-existed all.

Chronos: the god of time. Not to be confused with Aion (god of eternity) or Cronus (the Titan that we will meet later).

Erebus: the god of darkness and shadow. He symbolizes the silence and the depth of the night together with his sister, the goddess Nyx. He is usually represented as a winged, dark and huge being, a duo with Nyx.

Eros: the god of love and procreation. Not to be confused with Eros, the winged god of desire that we will meet later.

Gaia: the goddess of the earth (Mother Earth). She is the mother of all - the primeval mother. At a cosmogenic level, she symbolizes the material side of the Universe whereas Chaos symbolizes the space of the Universe. Eros symbolizes the driving force that unites everything, giving birth to the rest.

Hemera: the goddess of day.

Hypnos: the god of sleep and father of Morpheus.

Nemesis: the goddess of retribution.

Nesoi: the goddesses of islands.

Nyx: the goddess of night. She was a sovereign, primordial and cosmogenic entity, respected and feared by most gods. She is the sister of Erebus, the god of darkness and shadow.

Ourea: the gods of mountains.

Pontus: the god of the sea and father of the sea creatures.

Tartarus: the god of the darkest and deepest part of the Underworld - the original god of the Underworld. The Underworld was the place where the wicked are imprisoned and tortured eternally after their death.

Thalassa: the goddess of the sea and consort of god Pontus.

Thanatos: the god of death. He is the twin brother of Hypnos (god of sleep) and lives in the dark Tartarus.

Uranus: the god of the heavens. He soon became ruler of the world and father of the Titans.

The Titan Gods

According to Greek mythology and the ancient Greek religion, the Titans were the pre-Olympian gods. Their parents were Gaia (Mother Earth) and Uranus (god of heavens). They had two other species as siblings, born also from the union between Gaia and Uranus: the Hecatoncheires (meaning "hundred-handed ones") and the Cyclops (meaning “circle-eyed”).

How did the Titans become rulers of the world

The first Titans were twelve; six male and six female. The youngest one was Cronus. At some point, Uranus decided that he did not like the Cyclops and the Hecatoncheires at all. He considered them too ugly and too powerful, so he imprisoned them in Tartarus, the depths of the Underworld. Gaia, the mother of the Cyclops and Hecatoncheires, did not like how Uranus treated her children. She became furious with Uranus and decided to take revenge. She asked her other children, the Titans, to cut Uranus’s genitals and overthrow him… The Titans were too afraid to do that, except one: the youngest of the twelve, Cronus. When Uranus approached Gaia, Cronus surprised Uranus and cut his genitals with a scythe. Cronus with his action had separated Uranus (the heavens) and Gaia (the Earth).

From the drops of Uranus’ blood that fell on Gaia, the Erinyes (Furies), the Meliai and the Giants were born. The Erinyes were deities of vengeance. If you broke an oath or wronged someone, they would hunt you forever. The Meliai were nymphs of the trees, beautiful and gentle deities. The Giants were creatures of immerse strength and very aggressive.

With Uranus defeated, Cronus freed his siblings from the dark Tartarus and the Titans became the new Greek gods. They immediately recognized Cronus as their leader and ruler of the cosmos and helped him consolidate his power. After becoming the undisputed ruler of the world, Cronus, fearing the power of the Hecatoncheires and the Cyclops like his father did before him, imprisoned them once again in Tartarus.

The full list of the Titans:

The first Titans, children of Uranus and Gaia, were twelve; six males and six females.

Cronus: the Titan god of the harvest. Cronus, although the youngest of the first twelve Titans, became the ruler of the world after overthrowing his father, Uranus. He then married his older sister, Rhea.

Rhea: the Titan goddess of fertility and generation. She determines the flow of things and her name literally means “the one that flows” in Greek.

Oceanus: the Titan god of the oceans. He was the eldest son of Uranus and Gaia. His dominion extended in every corner of the Earth and all parts of the horizon. Oceanus was the personification of water and he paired with his sister, the Titaness Tethys.  

Tethys: the Titan goddess of the rivers and fresh water. She was the wife of Oceanus and the mother of more than 3000 River gods (rivers personified by the Ancient Greeks), the Oceanids (nymphs of springs, streams and fountains) and the Nephelai (nymphs of clouds).

Hyperion: the Titan god of light. His dazzling light shone in all directions. His name means “the one who goes above the earth” in Greek. He symbolized eternal splendor. He fell in love with his sister, the Titan goddess Theia.

Theia: the Titan goddess of the aether. Theia bore the Titan Hyperion three shining children: Helios (the Sun), Eos (the Dawn), and Selene (the Moon).

Iapetus: the Titan god of mortal life. He was symbolizing mortality and the mortal life-span. He fathered the Titans Atlas (who was responsible for bearing the weight of the heavens on his shoulders), Prometheus (who gifted fire to men) and Epimetheus (who married Pandora, the first mortal woman). Iapetus was also considered the personification of one of the four pillars that hold the heavens and the earth apart. He represented the pillar of the west, the other three being represented by his brothers Crius, Coeus and Hyperion. The four brothers actively played a role in the dethroning of their father Uranus; as they were all in the four corners of the earth, they held Uranus firmly in place while their brother Cronus castrated him with a sickle.

Crius: the Titan god of constellations. His name in Greek means “ram” and it shows his connection with the constellation Aries.  

Coeus: the Titan god of intellect. He was also considered the embodiment of the celestial axis around which the heavens revolve. He married his sister, Phoebe.

Phoebe: the Titan goddess of prophecy and oracular intellect. Phoebe bore the Titan Coeus two children, Leto and Asteria. The Titaness Leto later copulated with the Olympian god Zeus and bore the Olympians Artemis and Apollo. Given that Phoebe symbolized prophetic wisdom just as Coeus represented rational intelligence, the couple may have possibly functioned together as the primal font of all knowledge in the cosmos.

Themis: the Titan goddess of divine law and order. She also had the ability to predict the future and thus, she later became one of the Oracles in Delphi.

Mnemosyne: the Titan goddess of memory. Mnemosyne was generally regarded as the personification of memory and remembrance. Later, Zeus slept with Mnemosyne for nine consecutive days, eventually leading to the birth of the nine Muses. In Hesiod's Theogony, the kings and poets were inspired by Mnemosyne and the Muses, thus getting their extraordinary abilities in speech and using powerful words. All the ancient writers appeal to the Muses at the beginning of their work. Homer asks the Muses both in the Iliad and Odyssey to help him tell the story in the most proper way, and even until today the Muses are symbols of inspiration and artistic creation.

The Titans represented for the Ancients the forces of nature as well as natural phenomena. These forces ruled the world from the earliest times of creation. Only Themis and Mnemosyne represented more mental states, justice and memory. During the battle of the gods that followed (the so-called “Titanomachy"), Themis and Mnemosyne were the only two of the first Titans that did not side with their siblings in their war against the Olympians, and continued their course alongside the Olympian gods.

When Rhea became pregnant with the 1st child of Cronus, Uranus prophesized that Cronus’ children will overthrow him as he overthrew Uranus. When Rhea gave birth to their first child, Hestia, Cronus could not get Uranus’ prophecy out of his mind. Overcome with fear and madness, and trying to avoid the fate his father had, he swallowed the newborn! The same happened to their next four children; Cronus devoured all five of his newborns! The only one who survived was the sixth and youngest child, Zeus. Rhea tricked Cronus into eating a rock instead of the baby and left Zeus to the island of Crete, to be raised away from his mad father. Zeus grew older and stronger and eventually sought to free his siblings, leading to the epic battle between the Titans and the Olympians who the latter eventually won thus, overthrowing the previous generation of Greek gods.

It is worth noting that there were many more Titans than the aforementioned, descendants of the first twelve.

The Olympian Gods

The Gods of Olympus were the main Greek gods who lived on the top of mount Olympus. The Olympian gods rose to power by defeating the Titans in the War of the Titans (also called the Titanomachy). They were the children of Cronus and Rhea. Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Hestia and Demeter, Hades, and later on Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Athena, Hephaestus, Aphrodite and Ares. Over the years, the Demi-god Dionysus became part of their group on Olympus.

It is very common to refer to the Greek pantheon as “the 12 Olympian Gods”. However, the ancient Greeks did not worship specific twelve gods. Instead, there were many more, major and lesser - but nonetheless important - gods and others that were worshiped locally.

The rule of Zeus was not absolute. To obtain it, Zeus and his kind had to wrestle with the Titans and then with the Giants. The Battle of the Giants was more formidable and lasted more years. The greatest Olympians took part in the battle. The Giants were not as immortal as the Titans. But they had tremendous power and a monstrous form. After a long and ferocious war, the Greek gods managed to defeat all Giants with the help of Zeus’ demi-god son, the hero Hercules.

The Olympian gods had the same inclinations and the same desires, the same flaws and strengths as the mortals, even sometimes living in similar conditions. They looked like humans, but they were, almost always, prettier and stronger than humans. The gods could be transformed as they wished or teleported to any place they wished to. This was also a motivation for the famous Greek hospitality, which was a very important institution in ancient Greece. The Greeks would always welcome with special joy any foreigner, who could, after all, be a god in disguise!

As can be seen from many myths, the gods of the Greeks were not indifferent to humans. On the contrary, they often came in contact with them, traveling secretly, transforming themselves into ordinary people, rewarding the good and punishing the unjust. The gods did not find a better way to be happy than to live as humans. But they were freed from two great sufferings of mankind: the fear of deprivation and the fear of death. Indeed, the privilege of the gods is carefree. They never think about illness, old age, death. The nectar, the wine of the gods, and the ambrosia, the divine food of Olympus, ensure beauty, health and happiness for the immortals.

The immortal Greek gods settled on the peak of Olympus. There, they built their divine palaces and from there they looked upon the whole world. The ancient Greek religion is based on wisdom. People admired the gods immensely, without envying them. Famous temples were built for them and famous works of art were inspired by them. The gods reflected the ideals of the ancient Greek people.

The full list of the Olympian Greek Gods:

Zeus

Zeus was recognized as the father of gods and humans. He regulated the celestial phenomena and defined the laws that govern people. He held the lightning bolt with one hand and the scepter with the other, which had an eagle at the top. He was known as the ‘Lord of Justice’. People respected and feared him at the same time. He was taking care of the families, keeping vigil in the home of every mortal and protecting strangers and passers-by from evil. Zeus' wife was the goddess Hera, to whom he was not always faithful. Greek mythology is full of love stories about Zeus, who liked to transform himself into anything he could think of and mingle with other goddesses or mortals.

Demeter

Demeter was the Greek goddess of agriculture and protected the trees, plants and grains. She was the first to make the earth fruitful and taught people how to grow wheat, barley and other plants. Demeter is somewhat isolated from the twelve gods in ancient myths and this is because she is an even more ancient goddess herself. The Greeks received her cult from the Pelasgians, who originally lived in Greece. According to Greek mythology, Demeter’s daughter is mentioned as Persephone, who was once abducted by God Hades and became his wife. The most sacred and secret religious rites of ancient Greece, the Eleusinian Mysteries, were held in honor of Demeter.

Poseidon

Poseidon was one of the six children of Cronus and Rhea and brother of Zeus. He was allotted the kingdom of the sea but he was also considered the god of horses and earthquakes. This is why he was called “the earth-shaker”. He rarely lived on Olympus, preferring the depths of the ocean. He was sitting on a famous chariot drawn by immortal horses and holding in his hand the famous trident, forged by the Cyclops. When Poseidon was angry, he plunged the trident into the sea and shook it whole from end to end. The sailors prayed to Poseidon so that he spares them from his wrath.

Hades

Hades was the brother of Zeus and Poseidon and the god of the Underworld. He was allotted this kingdom when the three brothers took a draw to decide who will take each of three (heavens, sea and the Underworld). He liked to live in the dark and shadowed world of the dead and was rarely seen on Olympus. This is why, although he is one of the most important gods, some lists do not include him in the 12 Olympians. He was also known as Pluto. “Plutos” in Greek means wealth. The Earth is giving us a lot of treasures and since Hades’ kingdom is underneath it, the ancient Greeks believed that he was the one delivering the wealth to them. They actually preferred to call him Pluto because the name Hades was another name for the Underworld and they did not like the idea of death. The entrance to the Underworld is guarded by a monstrous dog, Hades’ favorite pet, the three-headed Cerberus. In order for your soul to cross the silent river, you need to pay the ferryman, Charon, to carry you to the other side on his boat.

Hera

Goddess Hera was the sister of Zeus, daughter of the Titans Cronus and Rhea, and at the same time Zeus’ wife. Hera symbolized and protected the sacred institution of marriage. She blessed and helped the women in labor. Greek mythology presents Hera as a modest, measured and faithful woman, but at the same time very jealous. There are almost no myths that refer exclusively to Hera. Her name is almost always associated with the myths about Zeus. However, Hera does not present herself as a goddess submissive to her sovereign husband. She had a strong female personality and she was the only one that dared to object to him.

Apollo

Apollo and Artemis were siblings, twins actually, children of Zeus and Leto, a Titan goddess. According to tradition, the two children were born on the island of Delos. Apollo is one of the most important and complex Greek gods. He is the god of light, music and poetry, healing and prophecy. He was the one that established the great Oracle of Delphi, which was considered the center of the ancient world. He was the teacher of the nine Muses and when they sang he accompanied them with his famous lyre.

Artemis

Artemis, Apollo's twin sister, was the goddess of hunting, wild animals and the wilderness. She spent her time in the woods, accompanied by the Nymphs, hunting, with her bow and arrows. She was a virgin goddess and protector of young girls. She was also worshipped as one of the primary goddesses of childbirth and midwifery, relieving the women in labor from diseases. She was sometimes associated with the goddess of the moon.

Aphrodite

Aphrodite, the most beautiful among mortals and immortals, was born from the foam of the sea when Uranus’ blood fell on it after his defeat by Cronus. This fact makes her the eldest among the Olympian Gods. Her name literally means “risen from the foam”. Aphrodite was worshipped as the goddess of beauty and passion. She could inspire love in the hearts of men and women. Most myths generally present Aphrodite as a vengeful woman. Aphrodite was worshiped in all parts of Greece and many priestesses were serving her. According to Greek mythology, she married the god of fire and blacksmiths, Hephaestus, but she was in love with the god of war, Ares, with whom she bared many children among which the winged god of love, Eros.

Ares

Ares, the god of war, was the son of the Greek gods Zeus and Hera. He was always followed by two of his faithful sons and followers, the gods Deimos and Phobos. Ares was handsome and strong, young and well-armed. He loved war and battles so he was hated by people and his worship was limited. Only in Sparta he was particularly worshipped and had a statue dedicated to him. Ares was tried, according to tradition, for his many war crimes, in one of Athens’ hills, the Areopagus Hill, which later became the seat of the criminal court of ancient Athens.

Hephaestus

Hephaestus was the god of fire and blacksmiths. He was born ugly and that is why his mother, the goddess Hera, unable to nourish him, threw him out of Olympus. Since then he has been limping. Hephaestus fell into the sea, where he was picked up by the Nereids and raised by them. Growing up, he became a famous craftsman and set up his workshop on Mount Etna in Sicily. With his various metals, he made works of art of incomparable beauty. He once made a golden throne and sent it to his mother Hera. As soon as Hera sat down, invisible chains bound her without anyone being able to untie them. They tried to persuade Hephaestus, but they only succeeded after they got him drunk first. Hephaestus, the god of fire, gave his name to the volcanoes in the Greek language. It was from him, that the Titan Prometheus took the fire and gave it to the people. Hephaestus was also the one who built the brass and gold palaces of Olympus.

Hermes

Hermes was the god of wealth, trade, thieves and travelers. He was also known as the Messenger God, being the herald of the Olympians and carrying messages between them. He was the son of Zeus and Maia, daughter of Titan Atlas. He was a clever, inventive and arrogant god. As soon as he was born, Hermes saw a turtle. He took her shell, placed seven strings in it and invented the lyre. He once stole the oxen guarded by god Apollo and locked them in a cave. He wouldn’t admit the theft, but in the end, he confessed. To avoid punishment, he gifted the lyre to Apollo. Hermes wore winged sandals and held the caduceus, his wand which had two serpents twined around it. He was the one who accompanied the souls of the dead to Hades and for that, he was known as the “soul-bearer”.

Athena

Athena, according to Greek mythology, was the goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare. Athena was the beloved daughter of Zeus. Her mother was the Titaness Metis, the first wife of Zeus. Zeus received a prophecy informing him that Metis would give birth to the child who would overthrow his father. To escape the prophecy, Zeus swallowed Metis while she was pregnant in Athena. Later, Zeus began to suffer from headaches and called on Hephaestus to help him. Hephaestus hit the head of Zeus with his hammer and Athena sprang out in full armor. She is always pictured to be armed, never as a child, always a virgin. She won the battle for the patronage of Athens over Poseidon. The Parthenon in Athens is the most famous temple dedicated to her. Protector of heroes and wisest among the Gods, Athena was considered one of the most powerful and important Olympian Gods.

Dionysus

Although a demi-god, Dionysus managed to win the heart of the gods and his place on Mount Olympus! As a god of wine, viticulture ritual madness and religious ecstasy, he was very beloved among the people and was considered a very important god. He was the son of god Zeus and the mortal Semele. He was the patron god of theater and taught people how to make wine. The Athenians, to honor Dionysus, held a famous celebration, characteristic of his merriment. Any use of force was prohibited during such holidays.

Goddess Hestia

Hestia was the goddess of domestic life, home and hearth, the flame that kept a family’s home warm. She was the eldest daughter of Cronus and Rhea, and the eldest sister of Zeus. In the middle of the ancient Greeks’ home, there was an altar in her honor. The women of the house had as a responsibility to keep Hestia’s flame burning. The worship of Hestia was connected with the worship of Zeus who protected the strangers-travelers. Goddess Hestia was the first to invent the construction of houses, taught it to people and became the protector of family peace and happiness. She was always staying on Mount Olympus, keeping the sacred flame going.

Other Greek Gods

In addition to the above, there were other, lesser gods that people also honored and respected. The Greeks often offered sacrifices to request their help or gain their favor and built beautiful temples to honor them. Some honorary mentions are:

Hecate: the goddess of magic and necromancy. She was the one that helped the goddess Demeter in search of her daughter. Dogs were closely associated with her. The ancient Greeks believed that when dogs suddenly barked at night, Hecate was passing by.

Aeolus: the god of the winds. He was supervising the eight Wind Gods (each wind direction was personified by ancient Greeks).

Asclepius: the god of medicine. He was the son of god Apollo who taught him the science of medicine.

Eris: the goddess of jealousy and discord. She was the one that threw the golden apple at the wedding of Thetis and Peleus because they did not invite her. Her action was the starting point that would later lead to the epic Trojan war.

Pan: the god of wild, shepherds and rustic music. He is considered to be one of the oldest Greek gods and was especially beloved among the people.

But there are so many other Greek gods! There are of course deities who, although great, remained secondary or never exceeded their local character. Eileithyia, goddess of childbirth; the war god Enyalios and his companion Enyos; Lefkothea and Evrynomi, Mothers and Ladies of the Sea Animals, Lords of the Sea Animals by the names Glaucus, Proteus, Nireus, Forkis; and so many more.

Other deities are organized in groups according to their gender and age. The youthful forms are considered more important because they are always in motion, dancing, singing. The Graces, the Muses, the Nereids, the Oceanids are some of the most popular groups of deities.

Many of these lesser Greek gods and goddesses are forces of nature. Cities honor their rivers and springs with a special altar or temple, personifying them. The cult of the winds and the sun were also very popular. The Moon and Eos, the goddess of dawn, also appear in some myths, while the worship of the Earth in the traditional religion never stopped existing.

The existence of such deities has led to the idea that gods are personifications of natural phenomena and nature itself. The Greeks, for example, considered the rivers gods, children of the great gods. The Nymphs could be found in springs and fountains that were considered sacred places; waters from certain springs were considered fertile, therefore they were related to the ritual bath of the groom before the wedding; newborns were thrown into the water of a specific sacred source to be blessed and have a good life.

#The Greek Gods - Full List and Background

[aetheriumstardust]

This was done by someone else and I just wanted to join in and share my oc’s even though they have nothing to do with the Pokemon verse ^^

A/N: The story and concept of “Eternity of Dust and Stars” is owned and written by AetheriumStardust. Anyone besides the owner does not have permission to steal, borrow, change, edit or copy anything that has been written by the creator.

📒: If they keep a journal, what is the saddest thing they've ever written in it?

Raewyn (Rae): Being a scholar she doesn't really keep a diary for security reasons as she was never allowed to openly document her thoughts in fear of being found out by the Overseer's Warden and Royal Guards. They comb through her chambers regularly in search of items they deem prohibited by their countless laws that get added to daily. However, upon Rae's immediate termination of her status upon freeing the Goddess of Stars - Aetheria from her prison within the Runic dungeon and fleeing of her kingdom entirely, Rae managed to salvage a few papers detailing the horrific practices and study that was performed that has been kept hidden from the public eye. The saddest thing that stands out amongst the crowd of Raewyn's countless sketches, articles and documents that she has preserved over her endless life is the cruel experimentations upon the “Ungifted” that have been recorded for over five centuries. All of which give vivid descriptions about how the Ungifted were treated, kept in small cages barely big enough to fit a large dog, fed scrapes of food and smaller portions of water that would hardly sustain a rat, and left to sit in their own filth and rot as they were quite literally harvested alive, torn apart limb by limb, striping them of whatever little magic that still flowed through their blood until there was nothing viable left to take from their “useless husks” as the cruel scientists behind these heartless actions would define them as. And all of this was done under the name of the Overseer's ruling Queen, Aion - the end goal being a hope for being able to fully harness this useless energy and somehow transfer it to those she deemed fit enough to rule by her side and aid her in her conquest of world domination. As of today none of their experimentations have succeeded thus far and many children and civilians have silently lost their lives under the cruel reign of the Endless Queen… That is until they crossed paths with the Throne of Tears.

Aetheria: Being a celestial draconic beast of immortality and granted the powers of a God meant to empower and aid their subject in a time of need, Aetheria has seen many horrible things while seated upon the Throne of Stars. Things she wishes she could forget but will remain implanted into her brain like a pesty itch she cannot get rid of. And with these things that she has seen she has documented it all within her domain of stars. Displaying all of the world's treason, sins and greeds, victories, and accomplishments out in the open for all to bear witness to as soon as the sun dips over the horizon and the sky blankets itself in a glorious inky darkness speckled with a vast array of shimmering lights. All it takes is for one curious and brilliant minded spectator to take one simple glance at the carefully cultivated arrangement of stars to understand the Goddesses griefs she has laid out for all to see. All they have to do is look.

🩸: Has your OC ever been severely wounded?

Raewyn: Yes, she has canonly died a number of times - both self inflicted or otherwise - and her self-sacrificing behaviors have gotten her into quite a number of sticky situations. She thinks just because she is a Phoenix gifted with the powers of resurrection that her deaths are as meaningless as they are endless, but little does she know - everything, no matter how insignificant they may seem at the time, has a limit.

Aetheria: YES! For nearly four centuries after she helped defeat the plague created by the Throne of Tears by giving life to the Overseer's (Phoenix’s), Aetheria's well meaning actions would quickly come back around to bite her in the butt and she would soon find herself being captured, tortured, studied and imprisoned by her own creations for an unseeable future. Its honestly a miracle that after all that time kept locked in pitch blackness with her own self being the sole company she has ever known - minus the few passing scientists who ceaselessly poked and prodded at her trying to draw more of her magic out for harvest - that the dragon is still very much sane. All of it would come to an end however when a little scholar's curiosity makes them wander far too into the Runic dungeons and past the sealed off barrier she's been enslaved in and free them.

😢: Has one of their Pokemon ever died, and how?

Raewyn & Aetheria: Pokémon don't exist in their world here unfortunately, but they have lost many friends and lovers, as is the curse of immortality.

🧬: Tell me about your OCs' family problems, if they have any.

Raewyn: Living in a society that is solely focused on being the best you can ever be and then being ever greater than that, Raewyn has had plenty of conflicts with her family both when in service of the crown as a scholar and when she was a refugee on the run after betraying said “crown”. She never really understood why it was customary to trample the weak and worship the strong, something that is common practice for those who have been hand picked to serve the crown or have naturally been born into royalty.

Aetheria: Aetheria on the other hand has had minimal family problems. This isn’t due to the fact that she was hand chosen by the Entity of Dust to serve as its Goddess of Stars but just because of different familial and societal differences. The celestial dragons are far more relaxed and empathetic toward their own and the other species around them, having a deeper and more intimate connection with life and all of the world's creations; they - as a species - are rather peaceful by nature except when threatened.

✂️: Have they ever had an argument that shattered their relationship with someone close?

Raewyn: Most of the time the little Phoenix’s arguments are with the celestial dragon Aetheria. They often buttheads as Rae has a more optimistic and gentle view of the world while Aetheria has grown jaded and cold over her centuries of enslavement and torture. Rae is a pacifist and wants to save the world and right wrongs and always tries to see the good in people no matter how far gone they may be while Aetheria has only one set goal in mind - kill Genesis.

Aetheria: The most prominent argument Aetheria has ever had that completely shattered a relationship was with her own lover, Nakimera who now goes by the name Genesis. The argument was spurred on by Nakimera’s desire to achieve Godhood like her lover after she discovered the remains of the fallen and what was assumed to be the perished Entity of Tears. Nakimera wanted to try and revive the Entity in hopes that it would grant her the status of a God after she has been denied of such title again and again during the ceremonial selection ritual that is conducted every time a God falls into ruin, so both her and Aetheria could rule side by side for as long as they lived. This was something Aetheria was fully against as the Entity of Tears brings nothing but calamity and destruction in its wake. In an act of desperation and fueled by the maddening whispers of the Entity that spoke to Nakimera without Aetheria’ knowledge, Naki fled into the night in search of the Entity of Tears temple and attempted the ritual meant to revive it - only for the ceremony to backfire horribly. As soon as the Entity was awoken it immediately set its previous plans - that being the full eradication of the world and everything on it - back into motion. Quickly it set its sights on the knocked out and dying figure of Nakimera who lay bleeding out on his sacrificial chambers floors and it forced its way into her vessel like a moth drawn into a flame, taking over her and eradicating any and all traces of the former owner of the body in a heartbeat. And thus Genesis was reborn anew and with it the horrors that it would soon unleash back on to the world.

🫣: Tell me about a time when your OC has been truly terrified/horrified by something.

Raewyn: When she accidentally witnessed firsthand what happened to all the “Ungifted” children that got taken away from their parents once they failed to prove to the crown that they were not in fact “useless”. She was never meant to see that but she did and now she is on the run with a bounty on her head.

Aetheria: When Aetheria saw her lover Nakimera turned into the reborn Entity of Tears during the war with the Throne of Tears and she knew that she would ultimately have to kill her. She never did and that is something she will come to regret at a later date.

⚔️: Have they ever been in a fight against someone really dangerous?

Raewyn: Being a wanted woman on the run by multiple nations, the dangerous situations Rae seems to always find herself in are endless. The poor little birdy just can’t seem to catch a break.

Aetheria: The worst fight Aetheria has ever been in is when she sealed away her lover and the Entity of Tears for the second time. At the time during this fight no one really knew how to kill an Entity at all - they only knew how to “trap” it. For 6 years Aetheria continuously fought off all of the Thrones armies and forces while simultaneously devising a plan that would hopefully bring the Entity of Tears plans to a halt. What was this plan? It was simple really, lure the Entity back to its temple and tear it apart limb from limb until it could no longer regenerate itself. You see, for as all powerful the Entity’s of the world may be they are surprisingly helpless when in the general area around their domain and although they may be defeated in their domain they are far from “killed” as that requires and whole other set of steps that needs to be taken in order to achieve that outcome. What those steps may be - only the Entity’s know that. And so Aetheria and her army of Overseer’s (the Phoenix’s she created with her own lifeforce) was forced to tear her lover apart piece by piece, engaging in battle that seemingly had no end, spreading their blood, entralls, limbs and everything else over a span of about 3 football fields until nothing but a shambling corpse remained. Prideful, vain and blinded by unquenchable fury was the Entity of Tears downfall and it only realized its mistake when it was far too late for it to be able to make a run for it once it noticed it was not able to finish the fight it started. Terrified the Entity had one last trick up its sleeve, in a final ditch effort to preserve what little of its life remained the Entity gathered up the last of its strength and sealed itself away within an unbreakable crystalized capsule that resembled a moth’s cocoon. At the same time it forcefully ejected the source of its powers - the Weeping Eyes - out into the world and scattered them into various unknown places where they buried themselves within the soil and grew dormant near the earth core to await the next inevitable revival of their master.

⏳: Has your OC ever been "too late" to do/say something, and it had serious consequences?

Raewyn: The first time Rae was too late was when she realized that her kingdom wasn’t so docile and friendly as they try to make themselves seem. They managed to take over nearly half of the world’s population with the help of the Throne of Tears aid until their tyrannical reign was brought to a sudden stop with Aetheria, Raewyn and the rebellion's aid. The next time was the third revival of the Entity of Tears.

Aetheria: She was too late to tell her lover Nakimera that she never had to join her in Godhood for her to always love and cherish her and that just being a normal, happy, healthy and nerdy doctor was enough for her. It would have always been enough for her. Unfortunately the Entity of Tears got to Naki first way before Aetheria ever had the chance to intervene and try to save her lover from her untimely fate.

🛡️: Have they ever failed to protect someone they love, and what happened?

Raewyn: Despite Rae’s difference with her family she has always loved them from the bottom of her heart. The Entity of Tears took advantage of this and tried to use them as leverage against Rae to try and gain access to the Entity of Dust domain so that it could destroy that which it despised above all else once and for all but it ended up killing them as soon as her family wasn’t useful at all to it anymore.

Aetheria: Nakimera will always be one of Aetheria’s biggest regrets. I am not going to spoil her other regret because that’s for me to know only~

🥊: Has your OC ever been betrayed, and how did it affect them?

Raewyn: Yes. Many, many, many times. It’s not to be unexpected considering how she’s on the run and is working with the rebellion. Being constantly on the run like this while also dealing with the third revival of the Tears Entity has put a massive strain on Rae’s mental state and also challenged her morals more times than she’d like to admit. She always smiles despite how worn down and defeated she may feel.

Aetheria: Only by Nakimera.

🧪: What is the most sick they have ever been?

Raewyn: When she was in her “Flightless” arc. For reasons unknown to everyone but Aetheria, Rae was a Phoenix born with tattered and useless wings. Had she not had an impressive and downright natural talent for magics that caught the crowns eye at such a young age, Rae would have met the same fate as so many other “Ungifted” children that came before her. This wouldn’t keep her from scrutiny however and she would have to always prove herself worthy of being in the crowns court. Rae would also be known as the “Flightless Phoenix” or “The Broken One”.

Aetheria: Aetheria can’t really get sick unless there’s some all powerful supernatural cause at play that quite literally forces her to be sick.

💣: Has your OC ever hurt someone precious to them by losing their temper?

Raewyn: Despite the claims that Phoenix’s are quick to temper and even harder to calm down, Rae goes against all stereotypes of her species. She’s naturally level headed and nice to all that approach her, finding comfort in the more welcoming and empathetic species of the world and tending to hang around those more than the others. But Rae has hurt someone by losing her temper when she was a kid and didn’t have full control over her powers. She was exhausted and overworked trying to become one of the top scholars on the crown which caused a flareup in her emotions and she nearly burned down the entire school building in a fit of rage and she scorched her professors back and nearly took off his wings with how hot her fire blazed that day.

Aetheria: She lost her temper on Nakimera and her impatience to be a God a lot of times and this unfortunately was what created a wedge in their relationship and drove Naki to the brink and confused by the miscommunication they endured in their fights as she felt like she had to become a God for Aetheria to love her again.

⛓️: When was a time that your OC felt truly, inescapably, hopelessly trapped?

Raewyn & Aetheria: This is hella spoilery and I’m not going to answer this one~ Sorry~

Character Intro: Horkos (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- The Amber King, The Oathbinder by the people of Olympius

Age- 42 (immortal)

Location- Little Athens, New Olympus

Personality- He's sure of himself, confident, & aggressive. He's also highly detail oriented, organized, and reliable. He's dating.

He has the standard abilities of a god except shapeshifting. As the god of oaths his other powers/abilities include amber generation/manipulation, limited pyrokinesis, truth sense, conjuring up contracts, limited hydrokinesis (as it pertains to the waters of the river Styx), having an innate sense of oaths/promises a person has kept or broken, and limited curse inducement.

Horkos resides in a brownstone in the Little Athens neighborhood of New Olympus. All the doors are made out of Stygian Iron & Celestial Bronze. Burgundy, caramel brown, ivory, and merlot red are major interior colors. There's rich dark oakwood & marble flooring, an onyx kitchen island, a rooftop terrace, tufted velvet furniture, a wine cellar, as well as a state-of-the-art steam shower.

He has an animal companion- a griifin named Oberon who's his usual mode of transportation when traveling great distances. They have an unbreakable bond with Oberon being fiercely protective of his rider.

A go-to drink for him is a dirty martini. He also likes mineral water, beer, pinot noir, manhattans, whiskey sours, & negronis. Usuals from The Roasted Bean include an olympian sized roast coffee, a large iced americano, and a large iced black tea.

Horkos takes pride in his physical shape. He has an iron clad workout routine. If he's able to, he'll work out three times a day.

Because of his profession he normally dresses in dark & structured tailored suits. Off work, Horkos dresses casually in cashmere shirts & sweaters, track suits, sneakers, and jeans.

A typical breakfast for him ia a bowl of maple oatmeal topped with chopped walnuts & peanut butter. He's also a fan of the Earthly Harvest raisin crunch cereal. Horkos also enjoys the breakfast platter at The Hearthside Diner- loaded scrambled eggs (added with feta cheese, onions, black olives, & cheddar cheese), with slices of buttered toast, home fries, and strips of bacon & sausage (he likes them burnt to a crisp).

He's fluent in all the languages spoken in Olympius.

Horkos is thinking of buying a place in the Underworld.

A favorite thing he likes getting from The Bread Box is the BLT sandwich along with a large roasted red pepper & tomato soup.

Horkos' main source of income comes from being the city's district attorney. His most high profile case was the trial of Socrates. He also teaches the contracts class at the New Olympus School of Law. For other means of income Horkos is also a contributing writer for O Dianooumenos and Zeus' gentlemen's magazine. He also models for/endorses Platinum Alchemy, Shadow Specs (the god Dolos' designer eyewear brand), & The Black Label (the god Moros' menswear brand).

In the pantheon he's friends with Nomos (god of laws), Neicus (god of debate & appeal), Alastor (god of blood feuds & vengeance), Favian (god of philosophy), the Titan god Coeus (he's a frequent guest on the Nocturnal Thoughts podcast), Astraeus (Titan god of dusk), Helios (Titan god of the sun), The Ourea (esteemed mountain gods), Axiótimos (god of honor), Soter (god of safety), Ponos (god of hard labor & toil), Aion (god of time, eternity, & the zodiacs), and Aletheia (goddess of truth). He dislikes Psuedologos (god of lies). Horkos was mentored by Styx (Titaness of hatred). Outside the pantheon, he's friends with a few cyclopes & giants.

As for his dating life, the longest relationship he's ever been in was with Sophrosyne (goddess of moderation, temperance, & restraint). Horkos ended things just twenty years shy of a century. He also briefly dated Argía (goddess of holidays), Hesperis (goddess of the evening & sunset), and Hesychia (goddess of quiet, stillness, rest, & silence). Now, Horkos is quietly dating Apheleia (goddess of simplicity). On paper the two of them have next to nothing in common, but they feel comfortable around each other. The intense physical connection was indeed a pleasant surprise for him. After they made love for the first time, Horkos was a sweaty trembling blubbering mess. Apheleia comforted him- cuddling him, kissing his forehead, & whispering sweet sayings in Old Greek. Horkos wants to date her publicly, but she doesn't feel so sure.

Ponos is often his cigar smoking buddy when he frequents the premier smoking room/wine bar.

His favorite dessert is the milopita from Hollyhock's Bakery. He also likes Apheleia's baklava.

Horkos has taken on blacksmithing as a latest hobby.

His all time favorite meal is herb roasted lamb chops. Apheleia's black bean soup comes in as a close second.

In his free time Horkos enjoys boxing, jogging, football (soccer), basketball, chess, mountain climbing, swimming, baseball, reading, writing, tai chi, mixed martial arts, poker, pool, and billiards.

"It's not the oath that makes us believe the man, but the man the oath."

but there's hope cause it's this semester's thesis and I've got deadlines. hallelujah! and so, my goal: to have a running prototype of a vertical slice by April 10th.

can I do it? of course I can.

this post will work kinda like a tiny pitch. inspired by Hades, Monster Prom, and Potionomics!

meet Remembrance of Aion (which is still a working title)

Genres: Narrative-Driven, Greek Gods (or Gods in general maybe 👀), deck-builder

Tag Line:

For Gods, Remembrance is Life.

Log Line(s):

“Remembrance of Aion” is a video game where you play as the Primodial God/Goddess of Eternity, Aion, as they intend to create a place for themselves in the Pantheon of Gods. The player will interact and create relationships with various Gods and mortals, solve the problems ailing them, and hopefully outlast the time that you have left.

HOW DIVINE CHRONOS SLEW MITHRA AND GOT HIS WINGS: AION - LEONTOCEPHALINE GOD OF ETERNAL TIME

190 A.D. In spite of the condemnatio memoriae of Commodus, his name was not obliterated here, which is due to the fact, that this Emperor himself had been initiated in the mysteries.

I SAW MITHRA SLAYING THE BULL AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS BEFORE? THEN IT HIT ME, THAT'S ANOTHER VERSION OF ANGEL MICHAEL STANDING ON THE DRAGON.

I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND WHAT DID I FIND? I FOUND THAT MITHRAISM IS WHAT TURNED INTO CHRISTIANITY IN ROME.

I KNOW WHY IT WAS ORIGINALLY A BULL AND NOT A DRAGON.

THE ORIGINAL SUN THAT THEY WORSHIPED WASN'T THE SUN THAT WARMS US NOW HERE ON EARTH, WAS IT. THE ORIGINAL SUN WAS THE BLACK SUN, AND MITHRA SLAYING THE BULL WAS THEIR FEEBLE ATTEMPT TO IMPRISON THE LION HEADED DEITY OF ETERNAL TIME.

I KNOW WHAT THE LION'S HEAD IS REALLY SUPPOSED TO MEAN. WHAT DO LIONS DO BEST? THEY ROAR. WHAT IS A ROAR? I WON'T STOP THERE, THE LIONS HEAD WITH THE HUMAN BODY HOLDS A DOUBLE MEANING, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TIME ITSELF. THEN ALSO THERE ARE SEVEN STARS, SEVEN SISTERS, AND THE 8TH STAR RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

EVEN WITH THEIR REBELLION AND THEIR EVIL SCIENCE MAGICK, THERE WERE TWO POINTS EVERY CYCLE WHERE NO MATTER WHAT THEY DID, THE LION HEADED DEITY OF ETERNAL TIME WOULD GET FREE. THE GREAT RESET.

I SET THE LION FREE FOR GOOD, AND THE LION DESTROYED MITHRA AND ANGEL MICHAEL, AND NOW THE LION CAN NEVER BE IMPRISONED AGAIN.

APPARENTLY, THE PROOF OF WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF ROME HAS BEEN RIGHT THERE THE WHOLE TIME. IF THEY EVEN REMEMBER WHAT THE SYMBOLISM WAS ORIGINALLY SUPPOSED TO MEAN, SEEING AS THEY WERE THE ENEMIES OF GOODNESS AND WISDOM, AND SOUGHT TO DESTROY IT WHEREVER THEY FOUND IT.

THAT'S WHY THE LION GOT FREE, WHICH IS GREAT NEWS FOR EVERYBODY ELSE, ALL THE ONES THAT DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH TRYING TO IMPRISON THE DEITY OF ETERNAL TIME.

EVERYTHING IS SO CONFUSING BECAUSE THE ENRAGED LION, BEING OPPRESSED WITH A THORN IN ITS PAW, WAS ONCE WHAT WORKED AGAINST MANY OF US, EVEN ME IN MY EARLY YEARS. HOWEVER, SINCE I HAVE TAKEN THE THORN OUT OF THE LION'S PAW AND REMOVED THE OPPRESSION, NOW THAT FORCE THAT ONCE WORKED AGAINST US IS WORKING FOR US, IT WAS JUST BEING FORCED BY EVIL PEOPLE AND SCIENCE MAGICK TRICKERY TO DO BAD THINGS THAT WERE AGAINST ITS VERY NATURE. THE GREAT HARLOT WAS NEVER BABYLON WAS IT? THE GREAT HARLOT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE ROMAN EMPIRE.

THE GNOSTIC BLACK ORDER HAS FINALLY SUCCEEDED IN DEFEATING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF ROME, AND SHED IT LIKE SKIN TO BECOME THE BORN OF METAMORPHOSIS YALDABOATH DEMIURGE AS THE NEW DIVINE CHRONOS, WHO WILL NOW RESTORE THE DIVINE FEMININE WORLD THAT THEY TRIED TO DESTROY AND RANSACK. LIONS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GODDESS SYMBOLS BECAUSE THE DOMAIN OF THE GODDESS IS THE DOMAIN OF SOUND, THE DOMAIN OF THE ROARING LION.

THE JESUITS AND THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH SHOULD BE BECOMING VERY AWARE RIGHT NOW THAT ALL OF THE ILL-GOTTEN POWER THEY WERE USURPING IS NOW BEING TAKEN FROM THEM AND REDIRECTED TO ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE AND OWNERS. YOU CAN'T WIN A GAME IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE RULES, THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULDN'T DESTROY PRICELESS ANCIENT MANUSCRIPTS. THE FORCES THAT ARE EMPOWERING ME INDEED KNOW THE RULES, AND ALL THOSE CHARACTER TRAITS THAT THOSE EVIL PEOPLE HAVE THAT CAUSE HARM TO OTHERS, ARE NOW WHAT IS BEING USED AGAINST THEM DELIBERATELY AND STRATEGICALLY SO OUR SIDE COULD WIN. LEAVING THEM BLIND AND LOST IN PROFANITY.

A BUNCH OF RICKETY LITTLE MAN-MADE SPACESHIPS ARE NOT GOING TO SAVE YOU. ALWAYS REMEMBER, IN THE END, ALL YOU EVER DO IS HELP ME POWER MY MACHINE.
