Lunar Apollon and Solar Artemis

So it is possible that Apollon had lunar aspects and Artemis had solar ones. I think this is kinda neat and I wanted to share it with y’all. Lunar Apollon Apollon has the epithet noumenios which means of the new moon.  “ Apollo who sometimes in called Noumenios, “He of the New Moon” (Works and Days 770). “ (Graff 17) This could refer to the Noumenia festival or it could refer to the new moon or both of the two. Otherwise I wanted to mention it because it is really cool. Also in the Homeric Hymn to Artemis (Hymn 9) he is mentioned as god of the silver bow. Solar Artemis

Artemis does not have a direct reference to the sun but she does have the epithet “phosphoros” which means bringer of light and her bow is mentioned as being golden.  “ [1] I sing of Artemis, whose shafts are of gold, who cheers on the hounds, the pure maiden, shooter of stags, who delights in archery, own sister to Apollo with the golden sword. Over the shadowy hills and windy peaks she draws her golden bow “ (Homeric Hymn 23 To Artemis) “[1] Muse, sing of Artemis, sister of the Far-shooter, the virgin who delights in arrows, who was fostered with Apollo. She waters her horses from Meles deep in reeds, and swiftly drives her all-golden chariot through Smyrna to vine-clad Claros where Apollo, god of the silver bow, sits waiting for the far-shooting goddess who delights in arrows. And so hail to you, Artemis, in my song and to all goddesses as well. Of you first I sing and with you I begin; now that I have begun with you, I will turn to another song.“ (Homeric Hymn 9 To Artemis) Under the tab is my works cited and all of the sources I consulted but did not quote, if you want me to send them to you, my asks are open

Aesthetic for devotee of Demeter and Aphrodite

MM0032, Made with Apple Pencil and Procreate. The deity, Baphomet! I was inspired after listening to a lecture on the Knights Templar. The marks on the arms say “solve” and “coagula” meaning dissolve/separate and join together… to break something down to its most basic elements before rebuilding it into something new.

Really hating how xtianity’s sin concept is almost exclusively based on what you think vs what you actually do. Cut to me having intrusive thoughts, not knowing what they were, and thinking I was evil. But I never actually did any of these things. Of course, sky daddy was watching me, so it still mattered to him apparently. I hate xtianity.

I maybe there's something inherent about christianity that made it so easy to be co-opted by an empire but idk what it is. Jesus seemed kind of anti empire

Dionysus Dimetor,

He that is twice born.

Springing from your Fathers thigh,

After being, from your mother, torn.

Praise to the Lord of Vines,

Who calls the wilds to his side.

Boisterous singer of euphoric joy,

Gracious is he, who will provide.

O Dionysus Androgynus,

Who liberates from dysphoria.

Who blurs gender lines,

Deliver me to euphoric mania.

Beloved dionysus,

Accept me for me,

Free and unrestrained

By the weight of society

Can't get over the prominence of the story of Abraham sacrificing Isaac in my childhood. Can't get over the prominence of the moral of God above family and friends in my childhood. That always tore me apart.

thinking about performing an “un-baptism” ritual in the near future, which will maybe free me up mentally enough to progress forward into paganism and witchcraft?

[damnit-not-again-bro]

what do you think it means, our-real-lives wise, for Fenrir to be a wolf of DESTRUCTION?

I don’t particularly like trying to reduce him to just an entity of destruction. For me, that has implications that don’t fit. 

Is he a big puppy that just needs a hug? No, of course not. He’s angry and dangerous, and I would never want to pretend otherwise. That would disingenuous and it would be an insult to him. 

But there’s a certain connotation to the word “destruction” that implies there’s no growth in it, no value. And I would take issue with that. 

For me, the value of him, as a deity worth worshiping, (as someone who holds a lot of anger without much in the way of an outlet) that this is a deity who understands and holds within himself a mirror image of, and on a cosmic scale, the same wrath that lives in me. And I have found, on many occasions, that he is often willing to act as a black hole for things (i.e emotions, memories, thoughts, etc and so on) that no longer serve me. 

I feed him and he frees me. 

I have often spoken truths into him as if into a void and found they no longer bound me quite as tightly as they did before. Destruction of bonds, perhaps. Destruction of limits. 

He has also often “destroyed” my inhibitions – freeing me to do and pursue things I never would have done or pursued otherwise. 

He gives me permission – encourages, demands, pushes – to be the person I want to be, the person I can be if I just stop letting others bind me to the perception of who they perceive me to be. 

To sum up, I give you this quote:

Dionysus: I'm the only person I know that carries solo cups, shot glasses, ping pong balls, two decks of cards, and a lawn chair in his trunk. I'm ready to turn anything, anywhere into a party.
