Thank you Lord Hypnos for being patient with me.

I know i don’t really make things easy with the running from and fighting with you constantly

But you always welcome me back and make things less scary and stressful. Even when i have nightmares bad enough im screaming/crying. Your always there to help

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.

Low energy Devotional Acts for when you don’t have a lot of energy (or time, or money, etc.)

💀Thanatos💀

- listen to a devotional playlist for Him

- listens to ‘dark ambient’ soundscapes

- learn about butterflies

- if able, visit a cemetery

- learn about the work that death doulas, hospice workers, funeral directors, morticians, cemetery caretakers, and grief counselors do

- if able tend to the grave of a loved one (tidy it up, bring new flowers/decorations, etc.)

- talk to deceased loved ones (doesn’t have to be anything fancy- I talk to my dead dog all the time I say good morning to him and when we leave I tell him we’ll be back etc. whatever you wanna tell them you tell them!)

- learn the stages of grief and how complex grief is

- if interested and able (I know this can be touchy) learn about the process of dying and what happens to the body after death

- learn about what you can have done to your body after death- there’s lots of interesting options out there! Burial at sea is still very much a thing that can be done, I didn’t know that until I got curious and looked this stuff up!

- if able and willing talk to your loved ones about what your wishes are for when you die- what do you want to happen to your body, what do you want your funeral to be like, etc. (I include this because I used to work in assisted living and nothing is worse than your family just not knowing what your wishes are for when you die, I’ve heard too many horror stories)

- learn about death magic and spirit work

- learn about the Victorian era spirituality craze (like the uptick in things like seances and all that, it’s all very interesting)

- learn about the many ways to communicate with the dead

- destigmatize death- death has become a very hush-hush subject which doesn’t really do us any favors in my opinion so don’t be afraid to talk about it, talk about your wishes, etc.

- learn about funerary practices throughout history and around the world

- learn about the meaning of death throughout history and around the world

- listen to songs about death

- read poems, books, plays about death- there’s a lot of them and they’re quite interesting

- watch movies/shows about death (my personal favorite is the seventh seal)

- if able and willing reflect on your own thoughts and feelings on death (can be death in general, about your own mortality, etc.)

- look up cemetery symbols and symbolism! And whenever able do a cemetery scavenger hunt

- wear black

- learn about how to help someone who is grieving

- listen to goth music

- be kind to spirits

- learn about haunted locations

- read ghost stories (idk if this counts but my personal favorite is The Legend of Sleepy Hollow)

💤Hypnos💤

- listen to a devotional playlist for Him

- listen to calming soundscapes

- learn about symbolism in dreams

- learn about the stages of sleep

- if able establish and practice good sleep hygiene

- learn about good sleep hygiene

- if unable (or you have a hard time sleeping) look up calming and quiet activities you can do instead

- listen to calming music

- if able make your bedroom into a cozy safe space

- learn about herbs and plants with calming and/or sleep inducing properties

- if able donate some bedding you don’t use anymore (even animal shelters will take some! Bedding is always in high demand in all sorts of places so if you’re needing to unload some this is the chance to do it!)

- learn about our sleep cycles and the circadian rhythm

- if you have young family members (kids, little siblings) tuck them in and/or read them a bedtime story

- if able slow down and rest

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!

Hypnos-Somnus is the silence and calmness of the night. He is the warmth of a blanket and coldness of other side of the pillow. He is tiredness, that comes at the end of the day and energy or comfortable laziness in the morning. He is pastel soothing blue, purple and white. He is slow and peaceful lo-fi. He is the blackness of the sleep or vivid visions of the dreams. He is red fields of blood on steppes or single little drops here and there on grass in form of wild poppies. He is this little crust of poppy's seeds in the bun filled with them. He is the certainty of the next day. He is the little white feathers that appear in every part of the city. He is the warmth of sweaters and pajamas. He is the smell of fresh cleaned sheets and much, much more.

He is so many than just sleep. And once you see it, it's hard to stop again. I hope that this year will be calmer, so I could give Him what He truly deserves.

But now, thank you, kind Hypnos-Somnus, that in my crisis days, where I couldn't get enough sleep, you helped me get some rest. That my bed was a safe space, that my pillows were soft. Thank you, that I didn't have any nightmares or stress dreams for a long time.

I thank you and honour you, Hypnos-Somnus, gentle God of sleep!

I saw a post about someone wanting to worship Hypnos but not seeing a lot of people who worship him. So! As a Hypnos worshipper, I wanted to share an experience. It’s simple and it’s small but that’s just fine!

It was an average night, I didn’t have any health issues throughout the night but I did wake up that morning to “Go The Distance” from Hercules abruptly, and quite loudly, playing in my head. I assumed it me telling myself to watch the movie, so I went and did. When the song came on, I noticed a scene during it that Hercules walked by a field of bright poppy flowers

I have never seen it before then. It was a vibrant red, everything almost dull as if it was highlighted to me and I pieced together that the whole scenario was a check-in from Hypnos.

No interaction with your deities is insignificant and not everything you see is as big and obvious as they make it seem all the time. A lot of tinkering and exaggerating goes into it most of the time. This may not seem like a Hypnos thing or a sign to many but it was to me and that’s all that matters!

[thequeer07puss]

Last night I just discovered something unique about Hypnos: he just listens and does nothing particular. He's just this drowsy voice putting all of your worries to sleep and telling you that it's fine to cry, because you'll wake up tomorrow and be something new.

And when you're asleep he sends you dreams to help you with your situation

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

Hypnos gives off a long forgotten nostalgic feeling.

A feeling that reminds you of a dream you had when you were little or the smell of your friend's house from when you were 5.

I love falling asleep after praying to him and being hit with a cozy feeling of fuzzy memories from when I was little. Waking up and feeling a way I haven't felt in years...
