Rhea, Mother of the Gods
Fumigation from Aromatics.
Daughter of great Protogonus, divine,
illustrious Rhea, to my pray'r incline,
Who driv'st thy holy car with speed along,
drawn by fierce lions, terrible and strong.
Mother of Zeus, whose mighty arm can wield
th' avenging bolt, and shake the dreadful shield.
Drum-beating, frantic, of a splendid mien,
brass-sounding, honor'd, Kronos' blessed queen.
Thou joy'st in mountains and tumultuous fight,
and mankind's horrid howlings, thee delight.
War's parent, mighty, of majestic frame,
deceitful saviour, liberating dame.
Mother of Gods and men, from whom the earth
and lofty heav'ns derive their glorious birth;
Th' ætherial gales, the deeply spreading sea
goddess ærial form'd, proceed from thee.
Come, pleas'd with wand'rings, blessed and divine,
with peace attended on our labours shine;
Bring rich abundance, and wherever found
drive dire disease, to earth's remotest bound.
Orphic Hymn to Rhea, trans. Taylor
Rhea is the Titaness of generation, the eternal flow of the generations, comfort, and ease. Flow in this instance was blood from menstrual cycles, fluids from birth, and milk, all substances that represent fertility in some sort of sense.
Rhea was often associated with Kybele due to their similar roles. Ancient texts sometimes associated her to Kybele despite the matron being an Anatolian Goddess.
Rhea was the wife to Kronos, Titan of Time, and Mother to the Gods Pluto, Poseidon, Hera, Hestia, Demeter, and Zeus.
Rhea is associated with the clashing of cymbals from the story of Zeus, where he was hidden on the island of Crete as an infant. The clashing of cymbals is the dancing of the Kouretes (Curetes), which were assigned by Rhea to protect her son.
"...For a long time steep Ida booms its clanging noise so the wordless infant may wail safely. Shields or empty helmets are pounded with sticks, the Curetes' or Corybantes' task. The truth hid. The ancient event's copied today: her acolytes shake brass and rumbling hides. They hammer cymbals, not helmets, and drums, not shields; the flute makes Phrygian tunes as before."
Ovid, Fasti 4. 197 ff (trans.Boyle)
"Scatter the scents I prescribe [to attract bees to a man-made hive] – bruised balm, and the honeywort's lowly herb; raise a tinkling sound, and shake the Mighty Mother's cymbals round about. Of themselves they settle on the scented resting places; of themselves, after their wont, will hide far within their cradling cells."
Virgil, Georgics 4. 62 ff (trans. Fairclough)
Rhea is associated with lions due to her husband turning the Kouretes into lions upon finding them.
"The Kouretes were the nurses of the infant Zeus, the mighty son of Kronos, what time Rhea concealed his birth and carried away the newly-born child from Kronos, his sire implacable, and placed him in the vales of Krete. And when [Kronos] the son of Ouranos beheld the lusty young child he transformed the first glorious guardians of Zeus and in vengeance made the Kouretes wild beasts. By the devising of the god Kronos they exchanged their human shape and put upon them the form of Lions."
Oppian, Cynegetica 3. 7 ff (trans. Mair)
Rhea does not have many notable stories to bear other than the story of her Deceit against Kronos. She is noted briefly in other stories such as the Birth of Apollon, where she helped bathe him, and Kronos' affair with Philrya, where she caught them and Kronos ran.

A Complete Guide to Remote Viewing Hecate: The Mysterious Connection
A Complete Guide to Remote Viewing Hecate: The Mysterious Connection
Astral Agency: Remote Viewing
Remote Viewing Target: Hecate ‘Witchcraft, Destroyer’.
Hecate: The Enigmatic Goddess of Ancient Greek Mythology
Hecate, also known as Hekate, is a compelling and multifaceted figure in ancient Greek religion and mythology. Often depicted holding torches, a key, accompanied by dogs, or surrounded by snakes, she is also portrayed in triple form during later periods. This enigmatic goddess is associated with a wide array of domains, including crossroads, entrance-ways, night, light magic, witchcraft, the moon, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants, graves, ghosts, necromancy, and sorcery.
Her presence in ancient literature dates back to the 8th century BCE, with her initial mention in Hesiod’s Theogony. At this time, she was revered as a goddess of great honor, with influence over the sky, earth, and sea. The exact origins of Hecate are a topic of debate among scholars, although she garnered significant followings amongst the witches of Thessaly and held a notable sanctuary among the Carian Greeks of Asia Minor in Lagina.
Hecate's portrayal in ancient texts and her significance in various aspects of life reflect her enduring and complex nature, making her a captivating and mysterious figure in ancient Greek mythology.
Remote Viewing Impressions: Primordial visuals linked to an invocation linked to secure requirements of Hecate.
Remote Viewing Interpretation
Vision interpreter: Mistress ‘Primordial Sentient, Esoteric Master, Destroyer’
“Repeating themes indicative of a persistence of a reality that is impacting on Hecate’s base and primal existence, subtle but if not severed will detract Hecate” - Mistress ‘Primordial Sentient, Esoteric Master, Destroyer’.
The Art of Remote Viewing Interpretation
Remote viewing, an ability associated with perceiving events or information from a distant or unseen target, often requires interpretation to unravel its significance. In the case of the following vision, the interpretation provided by Mistress 'Primordial Sentient, Esoteric Master, Destroyer' delves into profound insights.
Mistress 'Primordial Sentient' opens the revelation by noting repeating themes that indicate the persistence of a reality impacting Hecate's base and primal existence. This suggests an ongoing influence, subtle yet potentially detrimental if not addressed. The message conveys the need to sever this impact to prevent its detracting effect on Hecate.
This interpretation invites contemplation on the intricate relationship between perceived realities, primordial existence, and the potential for influence on a fundamental level. It urges us to consider the subtle yet potent forces that can shape our existence, emphasizing the importance of understanding and addressing their impact.
In conclusion, the interpretation of this remote viewing vision offers a mesmerizing exploration of existential influence and the imperative of preserving one's fundamental essence. It challenges us to contemplate the depths of our reality and the subtle yet profound forces shaping our existence.
Remote Viewing Interpretation
Vision Analysis: Psi Director, ‘Remote View Master, Esoteric Master, Magic Master. Sentient, Destroyer’
“Influences are of a status that is revealing links to secure Hecate and of influence from Hecate, outcome serious defence linked to excluding and securing Hecate as the process is now undertook and of delivered to Hecate” - Psi Director, ‘Remote View Master, Esoteric Master, Sentient, Destroyer’.
Unveiling the Mystery of Remote Viewing Interpretation
Remote viewing, a fascinating and enigmatic practice, has captivated the minds of many for its purported ability to perceive events and information beyond the scope of the ordinary senses. In a recent vision analysis conducted by Psi Director, a confluence of intriguing elements emerged, shedding light on the complex nature of this esoteric art.
The analysis, provided by a figure referred to as Psi Director 'Remote View Master, Esoteric Master, Magic Master,' delivers a cryptic yet compelling message. The mention of "Influences" with ties to Hecate, the enigmatic goddess associated with magic, witchcraft, and the unseen, raises the stakes from the onset. The language of "outcome serious defence linked to excluding and securing Hecate" suggests a critical need to safeguard against external forces, invoking a sense of urgency and gravity.
Intriguingly, the use of the term "process is now undertook and of delivered to Hecate" implies a deliberate and purposeful undertaking, with the end goal of delivering or presenting something significant to Hecate. This act may hold profound implications, hinting at a pivotal exchange or offering to the powerful deity.
Unraveling the intricacies of remote viewing interpretations requires a nuanced understanding of symbolism, metaphor, and the enigmatic realms of the subconscious. While this analysis presents a captivating array of themes and imagery, its true significance and implications remain veiled in layers of enigma and mystique. Nonetheless, it serves as a potent reminder of the profound and compelling nature of remote viewing, enticing seekers of knowledge to delve deeper into the mysteries that lie beyond the ordinary senses.
Remote Viewing: The Practice and Techniques
Remote viewing (RV) is the practice of seeking impressions about a distant or unseen subject, purportedly sensing with the mind. Typically, a remote viewer is expected to give information about an object, event, person, or location that is hidden from physical view and separated at some distance.
The concept of remote viewing has captured the imagination of many, as it seemingly defies the boundaries of traditional perception. Proponents of RV believe that it is possible to access information about distant or unseen targets using extrasensory perception (ESP) or "anomalous cognition."
Remote viewers often employ various techniques to facilitate this process. Some may use meditation to clear the mind and focus their thoughts, while others may utilize specific protocols or methodologies developed over time. Despite being a subject of debate and skepticism, remote viewing continues to intrigue both scholars and enthusiasts alike.
The history of remote viewing can be traced back to various ancient civilizations and spiritual traditions, where individuals were believed to possess the ability to perceive events or information beyond the constraints of time and space. In modern times, the exploration of remote viewing gained significant attention during the Cold War era, when the United States government sponsored research into psychic phenomena as part of classified programs such as Stargate Project.
As with many unconventional practices, remote viewing has its share of skeptics and critics who question its scientific validity. However, proponents argue that through rigorous training and disciplined practice, individuals can enhance their intuitive capabilities and potentially access information beyond the scope of the traditional senses.
While the debate about the legitimacy of remote viewing continues, it remains a fascinating phenomenon that raises thought-provoking questions about the nature of human perception and the limits of our understanding of the mind.

Penalty Box Series— Gender Reveal Edition
23-24 Season Masterlist
surprise! i lied!
soooo turns out, i’m impatient! this is NOT a post in real time, meaning all penalty box posts as of now will be as if she's still having twins and doesn't know the gender!
JANURARY 12, 2024
yourusername
liked by _quinnhughes, trevorzegras, and 28,611 others
yourusername i'm elated to announce that during my eighteen weeks sonogram, a third future little chaos creator was discovered🤍
the best mom in the world came with us to find out the genders for our gender reveal party (planned by yours truly with mom and taryn <3), and trevor and i cried tears of absolute joy when we found out that we'll be having all girls!
trevor and i put a lot of thought into the names for our girls. since trevor's got some greek in him, we thought it would be cute to pick out names with greek origins!
"pheobe" means bright, radiant, and she was a titaness as the goddess of intellect
"katerina" is a derivative of the greek word katharós, which means pure (plus, she's a character in the vampire diaries, and the originals' saying is that family is "always and forever")
and "evangeline," even though it's also from english origin, still has greek roots. it's a combination of the words evangelos, which means good news, and elen, which means shining. the news that we'll be having a third girl is so good, so we feel that it fits perfectly<3
thank you to everyone that flew in for the day! it means the absolute world to trevor and i and i'm so beyond lucky to have each and every one of you🩷
quinn, jack, and luke, you three are going to be the most amazing uncles. our girls will never know a world without love; not like i did. you three gave me love. you showed me what it was like to have a family, to have friends. i know we fight and argue and tease each other relentlessly, jack and i a little more than the rest of us do with each other, but we're still each other's best friends. we'd do anything for each other and have proven that time and time again. if my girls are even a fraction as close as we are, they'll be the luckiest girls in the world.
griffin and ava, i know we aren't as close as i'd love to be, but seeing you two today for the first time since we told you both the news made my heart so warm. you're both going to be such great influences for the girls and i hope that their eyes light up when i tell them that uncle griffin and aunt ava are coming to see them!
cole, alex, and jamie, trevor and i put a lot of thought into choosing you three as godfathers and i know we made the best decision possible with you guys. you've all become some of the most important people in our lives, both individually and as a couple. i hope that the girls grow up to have their own cole's and alex's and jamie's, because i know i'm a better person with all of you by my side. i love you three!
i could go on and on and make individual messages for everyone, and i won't, but my own twin needs a little extra love. jack, we might not be twins by blood, but we are by our souls. we were meant to meet each other and to live on the same street as kids. we were meant to grow up together and figure out who we are as people with each other by our sides. no one knows me like you do. not trevor, not quinn, no one. i hope the girls have that. i hope the girls can read each other's minds with just one look, i hope they have secrets that will die with them, i hope they fight for each other even more than they fight with each other (and know that they do it out of love). most of all, i hope that they earn the nickname "triplets of terror," even though no one does that better than us. i love you insanely🫶
i love you all! thank you for coming, thank you for showing me love, thank you for being there for me, and thank you in advance for adoring our triplets! trevor, i cannot wait to take on this next chapter of our lives with you. i love you, always🤍
