“Hypnos, shrouded in the gloom of his brother Thanatos and dripping with Stygian dew, enfolds the doomed city, and from his relentless horn pours heavy drowse, and marks out the men” - Statius, Thebiad.

Devotional art be upon ye, I may be a Hypnos devotee but he and his twin are a package deal and I don’t have the heart to seperate them. I appreciate Thanatos as well, even if I’m focused on his brother.

I honestly forgot that the Greek Parthenon had a god of sleep in its ranks (mostly cause I don't practice any religion or belief and km pretty neutral on all things spiritual)

I remember glossing over the same Hypnos while going down internet rabbit holes

Something about him is just so comforting to me, knowing that concept of a god of sleep exists. Maybe it's cause I've been connected to sleeping all my life. If I was ever stressed, I'd sleep or if I was at school, I'd still sleep.

People away as a joke that there hobby is sleeping but lowkey I don't think its much of a joke for me anymore 😭 I've always just loves sleeping anyways and my dreams have always been vivid. I use to keep a digital dream journal on my phone but my phone broke so it's gone rip

For some reason, whenever I think of Hypnos, I just think of a soft muted baby blue and milk white colours. It's very calming

What's Hypnos like when he comes to visit your dreams?

Seems I’m not the only one with that connection :) I 100% agree with the baby blue and milk white association! Hypnos has always been a comforting figure to me, when I was younger I’d even use sleep to cope with my life. When it comes to my dreams, Hypnos is like a fatherly figure who’s as kind and gentle as a breeze or a hand that cups your face when you’re sleepy. Sometimes He may have more intense forms such as in serious dreams/nightmares, or even silly forms in the kind of dreams you get when you take Benadryl

In all of them, He is something I must follow or a symbol of love and comfort

Apollo feels like being smeared in charcoal and paint, taking a deep breath and smelling the oil paint and solvent lingering in the air.

Hestia feels like the end of a college party, when everyone is lying together, slowly sobering up and talking about their hometowns.

Aphrodite feels like taking off your makeup after a long day and staring in the bathroom mirror, truly seeing yourself for the first time in a while.

Hermes feels like people watching on the bus, overhearing all the stories of people you will never meet.

Eros feels like loving something so fiercely, with so much passion, that you don't think you can live without it.

Hypnos feels like waking up from a dream that changed your view of the world, for the better.

Artemis feels like the girls you meet at parties who make sure you have a safe ride home.

Hephestus feels like spending hours meticulously building, with a clear vision in mind, but no proper measurements.

Hades feels like the hot embers burning bright on a fire that is slowly dwindling.

Dionysus feels like teaching young actors the ritualistic traditions of a theatre.

Ares feels like protesters fighting for change with unwavering strength.

Poseidon feels like learning about challengers deep for the first time and feeling yourself get entranced by the duality of the ocean.

I never realized how much good religion could do for me until I started worshipping Hypnos.

I've been worshipping him for just over a week now, and it's brought me so much joy.

I've been getting better sleep, I've been more optimistic, and I've been able to overcome a lot of fears and anxiety.

He's so patient with me. Even when I make mistakes when it comes to worshiping him, he's forgiving and loving.

He's okay with me not being able to make an alter. He's okay with me stuttering and messing up during prayers. He's okay with me taking things slow.

He truly is the most gentle of the gods.

Orphic Hymn to Hypnos

Sleep, you are lord of all the blessed gods and mortal men, And of every living creature the broad earth nurtures, For you alone are master of all and you visit all, Binding their bodies with fetters unforged. You free us of cares, and, offering sweet respite from toil, You grant holy solace to our every sorrow. You save souls by easing them into the thought of death, Since to Death and Oblivion you are a true brother. But, O blessed one, I beseech you to come, sweet-tempered, And kindly save the initiates that they may serve the gods

Sleep Well - Prayer to Hypnos

Hypnos Makar, Hypnos Paean, Hypnos Epidôtês,

Hypnos Blessed One, Hypnos Healer, Hypnos Bountiful,

Please grant me swift and sweet rest tonight, Cloud-Stepper. Allow my eyes to close heavily and for lovely dreams to play in my mind. Please allow for a restful night filled with rejuvenation and peace. I wish to be undisturbed, sleeping as deeply as a puppy after a day full of play. I wish for rest so healing that I awake the next morning with a smile on my face. Please, Kindly Hypnos, grant me these things.

Thank you, Fair Hypnos, for hearing my prayer. Your compassion is boundless, and your sympathy, touching. May your night be as peaceful and restful as my own. May all your dreams be sweet, and may your own Lovely Mind always find reprieve from its worries. May every day bring a smile to your Rosy Cheeks with something good always laid down at your feet.

Take care, Lord Hypnos, and may peace be with you. Praised be to the name Hypnos!

Headcanon: Thanatos often brings home little trinkets from the surface world for Hypnos. They're just random things like seashells from the shore, a bell, a cool looking rock or jewelry with poppy motifs. Basically anything he thinks Hypnos would like.

Hypnos's energy goes through His devotees.

When your friend sleeps upon your shoulder, that is Hypnos alongside you.

When your partner dreams of you, that is Hypnos with you.

When you wake up to your beloved pet laying on you or near you, that is Hypnos with you.

Hypnos is sleep, Hypnos is dreams

He is personification of concepts, divinity of these things, he is

You face Hypnos in the eyes when you close them with rest on your mind
