🦚 Subtle Hera Worship 🐄

Star-gazing and cloud-watching

Making flower crowns

Wearing outfits that make you feel confident

Have a candle that reminds you of her (no altar needed)

Keeping a picture of her in your wallet

Wearing jewelry that reminds you of her

Wearing perfumes with bold yet sweet scents

Have a cow, peacock, or lioness stuffed animal

Having imagery of stars or lotus flowers around

Giving yourself compliments each day; pointing out one thing you like or love about yourself

Support women's rights or domestic abuse survivor organizations

Spend time with loved ones

Be kind to children; play them if offered

If you have a partner, send them a kind message or do something romantic together

Practice standing up for yourself; speak your mind and assert your personal boundaries

Do household chores; upkeep your living space

Take care of yourself emotionally and physically

Show support for any mothers in your life, especially new ones; help out when/if you can

Keep a self-love/self-care journal

Make yourself feel pretty/handsome/attractive; wear makeup, paint your nails, style your hair, wear your favorite outfits, etc.

Take a self-care bath or shower

Learn about astronomy; learn about the different myths behind constellations

Show compassion towards others, especially those who are hurting or in need

Showing compassion towards yourself, the same as you do for others

Prioritize your own well-being

Feed the local birds with bird seeds; bird-watching

Keep framed photos of loved ones; put photos of them on your wall, etc.

Eat pomegranate seeds

Have cow print items; own peacock feathers (been told these can be really cheap, actually!)

Give a kind gesture to a loved one; buying a gift, cooking a meal, baking pastries, etc.

Collect gold-colored items; golden ram horns are also a great symbol (maybe draw or paint this, since it's pretty niche)

Buy a bouquet of white flowers, whether for yourself or a loved one

Add honey to your tea, coffee, or other drink; a good drink to try is warm milk with honey and cinnamon mixed in (better than it sounds)

Start a skin/body care routine

-

I may add more down the line! For now, here's my list of discreet ways to worship Hera. Hope it helps, and take care! 🩵

Hello! Do you have any interesting facts about the goddess Hera?

anon you’re my hero for asking this question 🙏🏻

I have too many facts that I love about the goddess of women, so I’ve narrowed it down to five:

1. In one version of the story, Medea (granddaughter of Helios, heroine in greek myths) leaves her children at Hera’s altar so she can turn them immortal. Medea is also said to have established Hera’s cult at Corinth

2. Hera may have been the first deity to whom the Greeks dedicated an enclosed roofed temple sanctuary, at Samos about 800 BC.

3. Swearing something ‘By Zeus’ was a common oath in ancient texts. However, Socrates repeatedly uses the more unique oath ‘By Hera’, saying sentences such as: ‘I swear it by Hera’

4. Hera and her daughter Eileithyia’s names were found in Linear B tablets, meaning that they were already worshipped in 1400-1200 B.C

5. And finally, I want to share my favorite description of Hera from the book “Ancient Greek Cults” by Jennifer Larson:

“But in her most famous cults (Argos and Samos) Hera is a powerful city goddess who fosters economic and military success. In these cases her relationship to Zeus is not a crucial factor, and the literary portrait of a jealous, scheming wife seems far removed from the cultic experience of an awe-inspiring deity who brings success in battle, multiplies the herds of cattle, frees the enslaved, and protects the young for her chosen people.”

I'm just spitballing here, but I don't think it's at all contradictory that the ancient Greeks imagined Zeus and Hera as the gods of marriage par excellence despite their agonistic relationship in myth.

I mean, for one, ancient Greek culture is inherently agonistic. Secondly, considering that Hera and Zeus are entitled to an equal measure of honors by virtue of their pedigree, it makes sense for their dynamic to be frictitious.

"i got hands for building alters, lips to pray to reckless gods, yeah i was made to be a devotee.

His mangroves held me till i died, my bodys relic left behind to fossilize beneath the willow trees"

-make me want to sob

Writing Prayers. What do you all feel about writing down prayers instead of saying them? I am a huge fan of actually voicing out my prayers while looking around at the sky, watching the wind, dancing with the swaying of a tree, or even just looking past as I drive.

Currently, I'm at college, and it's not the safest for me to pray out in the open. Firstly, my roommate is always around. Secondly I live near a forest, in a prison town. I value my safety, so I don't go out at night to pray. And during the day, there are already people roaming around.

Spent some time at Lady Hera’s altar this morning! Reintroduced myself and gave Her some olive oil that I very handily keep on the altar. Excited to be worshiping Her again! (And on the little plate is some crushed roses that I used to anoint a candle for Her and Zeus)
