A prayer to Persephone

[sekhmeic]

Been thinking about wandering into Hellenism a bit. Dip my toes in the water.

I've always felt a weird attachment to Persephone. Like she's always just been the favorite.

I love you psychotic pagans

• Pagans that get delusions that interfere with worship!

• Pagans that get religious delusions! Delusions of grandeur! Delusions of control!

• Pagans who can’t discern between hallucinations, delusions, and the Gods!

• Pagans who get hallucinations of the Gods!

• Pagans that get auditory hallucinations! Tactile hallucinations! Visual hallucinations! Olfactory hallucinations! Internal hallucinations!

• Pagans who get intrusive thoughts!

• Pagans who experience negative symptoms that make it hard to worship!

• Pagans whose psychosis makes it hard to worship in general!

• Pagans who think their psychosis brings them closer to the Gods!

• Pagans who get disorganized thoughts. Who can’t pray because of them!

• Pagans on medication! Pagans who can’t be medicated, who don’t want to be medicated, who aren’t medicated!

You’re all seen. You’re all loved. The Gods understand when things get tough.
