⋆˙⟡ One day . . .

I'm going to have my own place with altars for all my deities on prominent display.

My bedroom will be dedicated to Hypnos, with my bed and dressers decorated as shrines for Him - the altar being the room's centrepiece.

I will have a garden with lavender and poppies dedicated to my Lord.

I will have shelves and shelves of books; historical, medicinal, and on sleep science. All used and loved.

I will speak prayers and hymns and recite poetry aloud without fear of judgement or being found.

My home will be a sanctuary of comfort and respite from the outside world. Open to all.

One day, I'm going to rest well. I will be at peace.

Discovered some pagan fascists on twitter because they were criticising the pope for saying that immigrants are an important part of the religion

Imagine how much of a looser you have to be to think that returning to paganism would "free you from immigrants"

You're just a sad excuse of a human get out of here you're not welcome

I love being confusing for people regarding religion because I still wear my rosary necklace because my mum gave it to me as a gift (and I love her) and then I have my dodecagram necklace

Like oh you want to know my religion? Take a guess

it pisses me off SO bad how transphobes have so effectively used sports to launder transphobia and misogyny to people. like does nobody remember like ~5-10 years ago when it was a MAJOR feminist talking point to argue for desegregating sports and going by skill level instead of gender separation??? and now, because so many cis people hate trans people so violently and think we should be excluded from all aspects of public life, you’ve got a whole bunch of women who call themselves feminists laundering misogynistic talking points about how “women are just inherently weaker and worse at athletics than men :(( it’s just biology and women are inherently inferior :(( this is definitely not misogyny that’s unsupported by science, women are just weaker and worse at things :((“ like girl open your ears and listen to what you’re saying!!

“I asked chatgpt” well I asked Fëanor, son of Finwë, High King of the Exiled Noldor and he thinks that sacrificing your critical thinking skills to the whims and machinations of techbros is THE WORK OF MORGOTH WRITTEN INTO THE ODE THAT ARDA SINGS and that to do so IS TO SHAME YOURSELF AND YOUR UNLIMITED POTENTIAL. BE FREE. BE FREE AND CREATE WORKS OF WONDER YET UNTOLD

you cannot be anti-immigrant and a Zeus worshipper.

being an anti-immigrant hellenic polytheist is directly against the Gods, and you are not welcome to my blog.

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.

"When fair Apollo leaves Delphi's shrine and visits the altars of the north, Castalia's waters differ in no wise from those of any common stream, nor the laurel from any common tree; sad and silent is the cave and the shrine without a worshipper. But if Phoebus is there, Phoebus returned from Scythian climes to his Delphic tripod, guiding thither his yoked griffins, the woods, the caves regain their voice, the streams their life"

– Claudian, On the Sixth Consulship of the Emperor Honorius (trans. Maurice Platnauer)
