Ιρις - Iris

“Sing, O Muse, of swift-footed Iris, golden-winged messenger of the gods, who cleaves the sky with storm-swift flight, weaving rainbows as she bridges the earth and Olympus with the will of the gods. Bearer of oaths, she who carries the will of Zeus, bring about divine justice.”

[irisisawittywitch]

I made an altar!

I mean,I know it's not Much buy it's a start? I hope lady Iris appreciates it. I offered the stuff you see there but I wish I could give her more. Time will tell. Now I have to document myself on how to communicate with lady Iris. I'm so happy though.

Also I managed to do that Butterfly 3d puzzle you see on the right and painted the rainbow! Crafts&co is pretty cool!

Blessed be,lady Iris.

A poem for Iris + Digital offering

Iris, golden-winged messenger of the gods, seated alongside Hera and her starry throne

You are quick whenever you deliver their words, storm-footed you run

To an fro, up and down, now upon the earth and now high in the sky

With a shiny bridge of multicolored light you connect the world of mortals with that of the divine

Wonder seizes all those that gaze upon your lovely trail

Many try to find and catch it, albeit to no avail

You fill your pitcher with sea-water and use it to fill the clouds with rain

You fill the cups of the gods with nectar over and over again

You bear in your hand a radiant rod such as the one Hermes himself holds

Dewy goddess, if you ever went missing, what would become of us?

The joy we feel when we look at a rainbow, I believe it connects us to the gods

For when we open our eyes to life’s beauty we become aware of their love for us

Of the many wonders and treasures they’ve hidden along our paths

Of the many gifts and blessings they’ve bestowed upon our lives

Oh, airy goddess, never cease to guide my way

My ears are forever open to any messages you wish to convey

And even after a rainy day, even after the toughest storm

I know that if I turn to you, my heart will be flooded by hope

[zurisaurusrex]

The amount of utterly scalding tea that must exist about the Olympians between the knowledge of Hermes and Iris would kill us all I fear

[khaire-traveler]

The sun catcher in my room reflected light in such a beautiful way on my altar to Athena today. A part of it looked like a heart. I didn't get a picture of this, but the red from the rainbow had also covered Athena's eyes on her statue.

[sarafangirlart]

I like the idea that Iris secretly can’t stand Zeus because of what happened to Arke and it’s part of why she’s so willing to help Hera with her schemes

Yeah I think this too. Tho I’m still figuring out why she would side with him in the Trojan War.
