"flowers for Algernon" more like eternal pain suffering and melancholy. I don't read much in general but the story itself is one of the most tragic ones I've ever read or heard :((

As much as I adore the soft and gentle side of Hypnos, I also have an appreciation for the darker more gothic one. The fact he’s the twin of death, actively plays a part in it. Many people with near death experiences report an overwhelming sense of calm and peace, like falling into a blissful sleep. And many myths talk about those dying in their sleep being lulled by Hypnos before he passes them off to his brother.

He’s helped Thanatos take bodies of the dead off the battlefield. He’s an integral part of the process of dying in one’s sleep. He’s stood beside a mortal while he and his twin decide on weather or not it’s that persons true time and if they should wake up from their state of unconsciousness or if Thanatos will take them.

It makes perfect sense sleep and death would be twins, they’re two sides of the same coin. What is death but a permanent sleep? You shouldn’t fear death, even if you’re unlucky enough to have a painful one, once the twins get to you, all that pain will go. If you’re lucky, they’ll decide it’s not time yet, Hypnos will wake you up. If it is your time, you can trust him to pass you over to his brother who’ll take care of you on your journey to whatever area of the underworld you end up in.

This is just a little thought that I had and wanted to get it out there.

TW - death + war mentions

I really like that poppies are a symbol of Hypnos. I understand that that's the case due to their sedative properties and being opiates - however I also like it because they're associated with death. Mainly their association with the lives and blood spilt from war. It makes me think that, not only are the poppies vibrant red colour representative of their blood, but also representative that they are now at rest. They fought so endlessly hard and are now getting the rest and comfort that they so desperately deserve.

I'm unsure about other countries, but being Australian, poppies are used for both ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day. I was taught in school that poppies were used during ANZAC Day ceremonies because the day after the Battle of Gallipoli, when people came to retrive / check the bodies of the deceased, they found hundreds of poppies blooming on the battle ground - that were not there the day before. We were taught that people then thought that the bright red colour of the poppies was due to the blood spilt that had seeped into the flowers (of course probably not true, but that's what was thought). And now, being devoted to Hypnos, looking back at the story I can add my own thoughts. The poppies blooming the day after the battle as a sign from Hypnos (and Thanatos) that they are at rest now, to reassure that they are safe.

I don't know, it's just a thought that came to me. It's made me appreciate the association of the poppy more.

Anyway if nothing else matters then I hope people remember that Pope Francis used his last public address to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and call Israel a terrorist state:

"I continue to receive very serious and painful news from Gaza. Unarmed civilians are subjected to bombings and shootings. It is terrorism."

Aphrodite who cries for the people who hurt themselves because self love is love too

Artemis who doesn’t hunt animals anymore (humans do it enough) She now walks in clubs looking to hunt the real animal

Athena who donates hundreds of books to local libraries and schools

Apollo who watches all street musicians hoping their talents can get them a little money (He gives more than a little)

Dionysus who watches over everyone’s drinks at the bar making sure they stay safe

Zeus who makes it rain for the couples that just want to frolic and dance and kiss in the rain

Hera who donates to woman’s and SA survivors shelters

Ares who is at the forefront of every protest because those are battles too

Hestia who holds and keeps thousands of secrets so the ones who whispered them into flame don’t have to

Hades who let’s families get one last goodbye to a loved one before they die

Persephone who personally makes sure that the ones taken too early feel safe and secure in the Underworld

Demeter who gives Her best crops to food banks and homeless shelters

Hecate who is a street magician and does actual magical for the kids

Poseidon who finds the best seashells and leaves them on the beach for someone to find and treasure

the Gods aren’t gone they ARE the little things in life

Offering to Lord Hypnos

I should be asleep, I have class at 1:00 tomorrow, but oh well...

I am sure the sleep I have will be nice and fulfilling thanks to Lord Hypnos and Lord Morpheus sending me nice dreams.

Blessed be!

A prayer for Athena + Digital offering

I sing of the goddess whose grey eyes shine like twin stars, she who is the mother of both peace and wars

Glorious Athena, deathless aegis-bearer, listen to my words and heed my prayer

You who rejoices in the clashing of swords and in the echoes of stricken shields, urging warriors onwards and into battle’s din

You are the whirlwind of chaos that puts men at each other’s throats, making some renowned heroes and some others food for the birds and dogs

You are the fountain of wisdom that instills mortals with a hunger for knowledge, inspiring them to learn about this topic or the other

Books and scrolls are dear to your heart, tablets of stone and carvings of old, so are notebooks and radio-broadcasts, and the many sorts of computer and phone

You are the spark that lights a fire inside of artists’s hearts, prompting them into creating all kinds of crafts

Be it by paint or by clay, by threads or by stones, when we beget our mind’s creation you smile upon us

You are the protectress of the people and the guardian of harmonious life, driving away pain and strife

Holding prosperity dearly in your hands, pouring blessings throughout the world’s many lands

You weave bitter sorrow upon the wicked and sparkling joy unto the good, you make sure the principles of justice are being treated as they should

You are creation and destruction, you are life and death, you are balance and discord, you are bliss and pain

I beg that you lend me your guidance and grant me your aid in the times where I’m lost and unsure of my way

Teach me to be fierce and brave, to stand my ground, yet teach me too to be compassionate, gentle and kind

Teach me to think before I act and not lose my cool so that in any situation I may do what I should

Look kindly upon me, ineffable maiden, snake-cloaked lady of the glittering helmet

Regard your suppliant with a propitious mind, lover of vessels whose might transcends time
