A prayer to Psyche

Written by yours truly

I sing of Psyche, beauty above all others, I ask of thy heavenly touch upon my spirit, to fly with scaled wings through all adversaries.

O golden-veiled goddess, risen through the worlds to wed in admirable determinations. I ask thee, mother of being, bee-bearer, to protect my soal in your honourable name, to heal my broken spirit with your honey-sweet touch.

O lovely-tressed wife, beloved of lovely Eros, the first to admire and desire thee wholly, who forsook you when you did not deserve, who loved and wed you as your final lover, the father of your Devine child, Hedone - the sovereign of carnal delights.

O rose-armed grace, who hunted through the earth and the underworld, subjected to arduous tasks and prevailed, whose beauty was so daughters after her own sisters were undeservedly cruel.

Psyche, sweet breath of the soul, master of transformation, expert of perseverance, wisest of patience and true love.

Psyche, bring forth into my soul passion, devotion, the loyalty and commitment as Eros did to you, and you did to Eros.

Winged goddesss, I praise you.

[hera-arii]

she's not just romantic love.

she's the mother who nurtures the young.

she's the love two friends have, who have survived so much together.

she's the host in the house who offers wine to the guest as she hears about his stories.

she's a mother's rage when she sees her child hurt.

she's the passion and love for bloodshed.

she's not just lipgloss and pink and coquette. she's love and passion itself.

[hera-arii]

Some maybe helpful Definitions:

Pantheism: The belief that everything is divine and the divine is in everything.

Panentheism: Similar to pantheism, but believes that divinity goes beyond everything while still also being everything.

Henotheism: Polytheism, but with a "main" deity. Like worshipping one but believing in others.

Pluriform monotheism: Monotheism, but you think all deities are a facets of one deity.

Soft polytheism: Polytheism, but you believe that the deities are more of an archetype rather than a concrete and separate being.

Hard polytheism: Polytheism where you see each god as a distinct and concrete being.

[hera-arii]

Dionysus is so much more than the god of ecstasy and wine and madness.

He’s beating of your heart when the music begins.

He’s the movement of your step.

He is the breath in your lungs that is stolen in awe.

The terror in your heart and He is the feeling of your soul in flight.

He is also so much darker than that.

He is the depth of the forest.

The fang that tears into the flesh of prey.

The bones that snap.

The blood that is spilled.

He is also the vine climbing from the ground.

The seed springing forth from the warmth of the sun.

The gentle hand that picks you up off your knees and keeps you moving forward.

The sensation in your loins when you fuck.

The gasp in your breath as you cum.

He is complex, so much more than we can possibly imagine and his meaning to each of us is unique.

He is a god of many faces, many masks.

He wears as many as he needs to maintain his freedom, as he has for all time.

⚔️ A GUIDE TO ARES WORSHIP ⚔️

So you decided you wanna worship Ares. Great! It's kind of hard to find information on him right away, so I'm here to help you out with this masterpost. It may be big, but covers up just about everything you need to know for a start.

WHO IS ARES?

In hellenic polytheism, Ares is the god of war, bloodshed, courage, battlelust, civil order and rebellion. He is the patron of soldiers and personification of strength.

Ares has been shown in media and in most greek myths as a hotheaded, stupid, sadistic jock who only cares about harming others and causing chaos, but obviously, he is a lot more than that.

Ares is angry, I wouldn't dare saying anything different, but he isn't out of control or mad. Ares is one for minorities and for women, he is a passionate god that inspires us to be brave and keep fighting whenever we feel like we can't anymore.

Most of mythology does not offer an accurate depiction of Ares' character, but that's not the case with the myth of Alcippe.

To sum it up, Alcippe was one of Ares' daughters. She was being raped (in some versions, was about to be raped or generally being sexually assaulted) by Halirrhotius, a son of Poseidon. She cried out for her father, who showed up and killed her rapist. Poseidon wasn't happy with the murder of his son, so the first trial took place. Ares was considered innocent and the hill where his trial took place was named Areopagus after him.

Another time his mythology did not fail him was the myth of the amazons, warrior women who were daughters of Ares. They fought side by side on many occasions and from what I noticed, he's giddy at any mention of them.

I'd describe Ares as an amazing father, a seeker for justice and someone who will be there for you when you need it most – wether it be as the hand on your back, supporting you and urging you on or as the final push of strength you didn't know you had in you.

SACRED DAYS & FESTIVALS

As Ares is connected to Mars, his sacred weekday is Tuesday. Tuesdays are associated with action, physical activity, sexuality, the color red, passion, strength, vitality, raising motivation and anger. Perfect match, right?

Ares had few temples, but was always honoured with special rites in times of war or before battle. Unfortunately, I haven't found many resources for festivals honouring him other than one celebrated only by women and one celebrated only by men.

The one celebrated only by men occured in Geronthrai, in Lakonia. Ares' cult in this village happened yearly, when he was asked to bless those who would serve as soldiers and asked for their victory.

The second festival honored Ares Gynaikothoinas, Ares Feasted by Women. It originated in the Lakonian war, after the women of Tegea set up an ambush for the Lakedaemonians. They won the fight and celebrated by giving victory sacrifices to Ares on their own account, without the men.

I think it's important to say that while the festivals were separated by the gender binary, that doesn't mean that Ares only accepts male or female followers. Being non-binary myself, I know that's not the case, but it's not like centuries of cisgender and heteronormative historians didn't do harm... Anyways! What I mean is: Ares loves every single one of his followers, whether they're cis or not.

TAROT CARDS

The tarot cards associated with Ares are The Chariot and The Emperor.

The Emperor upright means masculinity, stability, fearless, passion, fatherhood, authority, discipline and regulation.

The Chariot upright means advancement, mastery, assertion, willpower and control.

SACRED ANIMALS

serpents

the boar

vultures

dragons

dogs

barn owls

woodpeckers

eagle-owls

SACRED PLANTS

Ares doesn't actually have any sacred plants. In mythology or historical practices, there's nothing about it. Here's some of my UPG:

basil

buttercup

yarrow

ginger

anything with tiny yellow flowers

spicy stuff: peppers, paprika...

ARES' EPITHETS

Thêritas | Beastly

Aphneios | Abundant

Gynaikothoinas | Feasted by Women

Laossos | He Who Rallies Men

Khalkeos | Brazen

Teikhesiplêtês | Stormer of Cities

Aatos polemoio | Insatiate of Fighting

Rhinotoros | Flesh-Piercing

Deinos | Terrible

Enyalios | Warlike

Khrysopêlêx | Of the Golden Helm

Ares has many other epithets. Most of them are about his violence and bloodshed, so I picked my favorites or the ones that focused on other aspects of him.

WHY WORSHIP A GOD OF WAR?

For me, life is war.

I don't say it to sound cool or edgy or whatever may be going through your head right now. In my country, trans people have a life expectancy of 35 years.

I didn't choose for it to be like this. I didn't sign up for a war. This is just my life. I just wanted to live it. I don't want to be fighting a battle every single day I go outside, but I am.

Can you imagine that? Your life being an incessant game of tug of war? Fearing everyone that looks at you funny on the street because oh well, this might be curtains for me?

All I know is war. It may not be the ones that get written down on history books and people make movies about, but it's war. It's terrible, but it's all I know. I can't imagine how my life would be without it. Sometimes, I wonder if there's anything to me but it.

Ares understands. He makes it better. I'm not sure he knows anything but war either, but he doesn't act like that's bad. War is all consuming, and Ares knows that better than anyone. Having him with me, every step of the way, makes it easier.

I was raised with a perfect God. A God that only cared about the beautiful, the perfect, the holy. The rest was shameful and should be cast aside, hidden.

I spent a long time ashamed of myself for it. Ares frees me from this.

He wants to know the ugly, the bad thoughts, the things that hurt and make you ashamed. Ares doesn't mind getting dirty. He'll hold you, bloodied and all, even if your tears wet his clothes.

Ares knows how bad humans can get. He's seen us at our worst, so he won't shy away when you're at the bottom.

He understands that we're flawed. I don't think he minds.

He isn't looking for perfect little angels, free of sin and guilt. You can come to him with with your evil, tell him all that's bad about you, all your past mistakes, all that makes you disgusting and ashamed, and Ares won't even bat an eye. He's seen worse. He might say it's okay, if you're scared. He won't be.

Ares will know all of your flaws and shrug. He will help you with them, loves seeing his followers grow, but won't think less of you for them. If you let him stick around long enough to learn all of your qualities too, Ares will love your bad and good all the same.

Worshiping the Titans and Titanesses

After my recent post, I figured I will do some post about some deities I worship. I will follow the division I have made in this post, so now it's time for Titans and Titanesses I worship (even in a slightly/casual way).

Hekate

Hekate is a goddess of so many things, but I mainly worship Her as a goddess of Crossroads and keeper of the gates, goddess of the dead and the Underworld. I worship Her since the beginning of my practice. She helped me transition from a practice heavily impacted by Wicca to my hellenic polytheist practice. Now, i'm devoted to Her which doesn't really mean anything big, it's just that She is one of the main deities I worship daily. She guides me through multiple aspect of my life, I give Her my regret and grief so they can go to Erebos and I feel free to walk from them. I also have a UPG about Her being silence and I see Her as a mentor and a strict parental figure.

If you want to include Her into your worship, you can :

Do a meal in Her honor during the New Moon

Visit a cemetery (be respectful)

Learn about ancestors veneration

Pray to crossroads

Asteria

Goddess of falling stars and nighttime divination, I mainly worship Her as Hekate's mother, which makes me consider Her as a "grandmother", my worship of Her is mainly to show respect to Her. For Her, I just do star gazing.

Helios

God of the Sun, He feels like a "grandfather" for me. I try to do a ritual for Him (with Apollon Phoibos) each sunday, because I had to learn to love the Sun. For me, saturday is the last day of my week during which I do the rituals to cleanse my life of dead-end projects and all, and sunday is the first day of the week during which I spend time with Him and make my plan and wishes for the week.

If you want to include HIm into your worship, you can :

Take a sunbath (make sure to wear sunscreen though)

Contemplate nature

Make wishes and intentions for the day ahead

Drink water

Selene

Goddess of the Moon. I've started worship Her along with Nyx before I knew I was a worshiper. She was my inspiration for creativity, especially for writing. This is a UPG born with the fact that I've started worship Her because of my insomnia. Writing was something I did for the Moon. I dedicate my monday to Her and Artemis.

If you want to include Her into your worship, you can :

Celebrate Full Moon

Journaling about your feelings

Do divination

Learn how to regulate your emotions

Styx

She is an Okeanide and the goddess (daimon) of hatred. She is also a path and a gate between the living and the dead. The first time I worship Her was for inaugurate my notebook/grimoire for deities and worship.

If you want to include Her into your worship, you can :

Walk by rivers

Make (small) promises and keep them

Learn how to manage your anger

Learn how to fight injustice and hateful speech/discourse/idea
