i would like to personally thank oscar wilde for the reminder that to define is to limit, tolkien for the reassurance that not all who wander are lost, hozier for the promise that honey, there is no right way. you whisper that there will be a light, no matter the tunnel; you ease the burden of not knowing; you show me seeds waiting for spring where i supposed a grave to be.

The Evermore Grimoire: Mythology Themis (Θεμις meaning ‘Divine Law’) was the Titan goddess of divine law and order of the traditional rules of conduct first established by the gods in Greek mythology. She was also a prophetic goddess who presided over the most ancient oracles, including Delphi. In this role, she was the divine voice (themistes) who first instructed mankind in the primal laws of justice and morality, such as the precepts of belief, the rules of hospitality, good governance, conduct of assembly, and pious offerings to the gods. Themis was also an early bride of Zeus (king of the gods) and his first counsellor as well as mother to The Fates and The Horae. She was often represented seated beside his throne advising him on the precepts of divine law and the rules of fate. In Greek, the word ‘themis’ referred to divine law, those rules of conduct long established by custom. Unlike the word ‘nomos,’ the term was not usually used to describe laws of human decree.

The Evermore Grimoire: Creatures

The Phoenix (Φοῖνιξ) is a mythical, sacred firebird that can be found in both Greek and Roman mythology. It may have also been inspired by a similar creature from Egyptian mythology called the Bennu. It is believed there is only ever one Phoenix alive at a time. It has a 500 year life-cycle, near the end of which, it builds itself a nest of incense and sacred materials that it then ignites. The bird is then consumed by the fire of it’s nest, but from its ashes a young Phoenix arises, reborn anew. The newborn Phoenix is destined to live as long as its previous incarnation. In some stories, the new Phoenix embalms the ashes of its old self in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis (known as the ‘Sun-City’ in Greek).

The Evermore Grimoire: Mythology 

Iara or Mãe das Águas (meaning ‘mother of waters’) was a beautiful mermaid that lived in the Amazon River in Brazilian mythology. There are many versions of the Iara myth which began with her starting out as a fish-man called Ipupiara. However in the 18th century, Ipupiara had become the seductive mermaid called Iara. Fishermen from all over Brazil would tell stories of young men who gave in to the charms of the beautiful Iara who would then end up being drowned in a fit of passion. The indigenous people of the Amazon region would also tell that Iara was an excellent and courageous warrior and that her brothers were jealous of her, and the praise their father would give her. One day, the brothers decided to kill Iara. However, she heard about the plan and decided to kill the brothers as a form of defence. After doing so, Iara fled into the woods. However, her father pursued her and managed to capture her. As punishment, Iara was thrown into the river Solimões (Amazon region). The fish that were there saved her and as it was a full moon, she was transformed into a beautiful mermaid.
