This is another one I made previously. AND! I have actually been revising so take that executive dysfunction!

Lady Hera felt as though She'd have a far more controlled aesthetic(?) so that's why I've gone for this one.

Anyway my break only lasts so long so Khaire and have a good day :)

Hypnos of the chronically fatigued, unable to walk for long

Hypnos of the chronic pain sufferers, stuck in bed for days

Hypnos of the recovering, having to rest for long periods

Hypnos of the comatose, protecting them in their fragile state

Hypnos of those with endometriosis, unable to get out of bed from the cramping pain

Hypnos of the narcoleptic, unable to control their sleep-wake cycle

Hypnos of the hypersomniacs, unable to stay awake very long

Hypnos of the insomniacs, unable to fall asleep at all

Hypnos of the sleep walkers, keeping them from running into something in their sleep

Hypnos of the sleep paralysis, fighting the visions off when you can’t move

Hypnos of those who faint and black out, making sure they don’t hit the ground too hard

Hypnos of the dizzy and lightheaded, who have to lie down more often

Hypnos of the sick, disabled and chronically tired.

Hekate, Empylios

'At the Gate’

She is associated with liminal spaces, the underworld, self-reflection and change, crossroads, the gates between realms, the outside and beyond.

Apollo is famously a twink tho... a blonde, skinny hairless boy kisser bro that's literaly his thing? Everyone agrees. I mean everyone. Not everyone can be wrong

Can't tell if you are being serious rn because it's like saying Poseidon didn't live in the sea, Artemis wasn't a lesbian or Aphrodite wasn't born from the sea 💀💀💀

First, the fact that you conflate being a twink with being blonde is fucking racist. Twinks aren't just skinny white gays. Any skinny, hairless gay guy is a twink, regardless of race or hair color.

Secondly, Apollo isn't skinny, hairless, or gay.

He's lean and muscular, just like how ancient Greek boys were expected to be. He has a luscious bush, just like ancient Greek men were expected to have. You call him a "boy kisser" (infantilize homosexual intimacy much?) but he has MANY more female lovers than he does male ones, and "Twink" is GAY SLANG SPECIFICALLY.

Never mind the fact that his relationship with Hyacinth is straight-up pederasty. And conflating pederasty with being gay is homophobic.

Artemis also isn't a lesbian. You are attributing identities to ancient gods that literally didn't exist in antiquity, LMFAO.

"Gay" and "lesbian" are identities that queer people deliberately assign to ourselves. They are identities that exist in context, and pretending that homosexuality existed in the same form that it does now in the ancient past is revisionist history.

All Helpols who drive should have a Hermes in their vehicle

My dashboard Hermes has saved me from accidents, flats, and traffic

Not sure I would fair well without him, tbh

May the Gods be our first priority and not our last resort.

Repeat after me, folks!!

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be pro-Zionist.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be anti-Semitic.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be homophobic.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be transphobic.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and hate on other minorities/religions.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be racist.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be an asshole.

Xenia is such a crucial part of Hellenic paganism. Anyone who disagrees with any of these points can kindly fuck off my blog.

Bright-helmed Ares,

strong of arm and stern

of visage,firm of stance,

unyielding of will, ever ready

to face any foe,

to hold the line against

all who may come,

to battle until the end

Lord Ares, your sacred rites

merge the mysteries of

life and death, unveiling the

eternal dance of creation and

destruction. True strength

lies in harmonising body

and spirit with unwavering justice.

devotional post for

Thanatos

well-wreathed with poppies red as blood,

black-winged god, fleet-footed one,

bearer of the sharp-edged sword

“O Thanatos (Death), whose empire unconfined extends to mortal tribes of every kind. On thee the portion of our time depends, whose absence lengthens life, whose presence ends.”

- Orphic Hymn 87 to Thanatus

devotional post to Ares

Ares, the unrestrained fire of war,

harbinger of destruction;

the initiator of creation

the primal architect of change

his chaos ignites the fire of potential

Igne Natura Renovatur Integra

"Through fire,

nature is renewed in its entirety."

devotional post for ares

Hail Ares, immortal harbinger of

strength, whose divine fire ignites

the soul to rise—undaunted, unbroken,

and eternal, a beacon of courage

amidst the storms of existence
