writing in devotional journals is one of my favourite devotional activities like... being able to get out anything i need and fill the journal with things for my god is so relieving. it's a relaxing activity that calms me when i'm stressed, and that always makes me feel that bit closer to my deity.

SORRY FOR BEING SO INACTIVE I HAVE HAD HORRIBLE MENTAL HEALTH AND NO ENERGY BUT UPDATE!!
i did div the other night because i was terrified my Gods were annoyed with me for not really being able to do anything with my worship recently due to the above reasons
and i found out that not only are they not angry with me, they support me taking as much time as i need, there is another deity (who i won't mention until i've had a chance to do div with them) who wants to work with me when i get my life back on track, AND!!!! that Lord Hades is my patron!!!!! i cry with happiness almost every time i think about that part and i just can't believe a mess like me has such an amazing deity as a patron and i'm almost sobbing again writing this lmao
anyway i hope y'all are doing good and i hope i get to come back soon

my parents don't accept me being transgender. and have made that very clear in the 2 years i've been out.
so every time i think about the fact that both Hades and Apollo told me they accept me i just burst into tears !!!!!! and they tell me it's okay when i do even though i feel so dumb for crying in front of Gods
the love i have for both of them is unexplainable

A Guide to Greek Alphabet Divination (Runes)
Tumblr media
As many may already know, Runes are a popular form of divination in order to communicate with the gods! However, aside from the popular Norse runes (elder futhark) that everyone might be aware of, did you know that there’s also a form of “rune casting divination” for the Greek alphabet?
First found inscribed in Olympos, a city in ancient Lycia, the Greek alphabet divination system uses the 24 letters from the Greek language and assigns them meanings, and based on what rune you pull, can give you advice from the gods on your current situation!
There were many Alphabet Oracles in ancient Greece, and the idea of reading the Greek alphabet for signs of the gods is one of the oldest divination methods that we know of.
How do I create my “runes?” 
To create your runes, any way of making them works! Historically, they would be painted onto pottery shards, but any way you can think of to have them accessible to throw/draw is completely okay. I have personally used black stones with gold paint on them.
You create one piece per letter, and in total there will be 24. Each letter will be listed and elaborated on later on in the post!
I’ve made my alphabet set. How do I use them?
In order to call upon the Theoi to get an answer, you can firstly call upon them in an invocation. After you have called upon them or asked your gods to give you an answer (sometimes no formal structure is needed) you can reach into a bag which contains the letters and pull out one at a time and read that, or you can grab them and throw them and look for patterns or groups of letters that are clumped together. 
THE LETTER MEANINGS
Α - Alpha - “The God Apollo [Apollon] says you will do everything successfully.” With his luck and good fortune, the current thing you are working on will turn out well and you will be the leader of your situation and have good transactions with others.
Β - Beta - “With the help of Tyche, you will have an assistant [Boêthos], who is the Pythian Apollon.” You might be at a time in your life where you’re struggling, but this divine-coded letter tells you that the gods that you worship are going to help you soon, so the signs you get might be more prophetic in nature. 
Γ - Gamma - “Gaia [Gê] will give you the ripe fruit of your labors.” It is time for you to take a break and admire the hard work you have put in. Gaia will reward you, and you will have abundance in happiness, emotional fulfillment, food, or all of the above. 
Δ - Delta - “In customs inopportune strength [Dunamis] is weak.” Timing is everything. Wait for the right time to act, and do not act to hastily. Wait for your time, but at the same time, use your strength for good to make a change in your situation.
Ε - Epsilon - “You desire [Eraô] to see the offspring of righteous marriages.” You need to surround yourself with good friendships, romances, allies, or relationships in general in order to get the most out of it. Surround yourself with positive people or situations to bring yourself up in a righteous way.
Ζ - Zeta - “Flee the very great storm [Zalê], lest you be hindered in some way.” If you’re already struggling, know when to pick your battles. Sometimes flight is better than fight, and only you know your own limitations. 
Η - Eta - “Bright Helios [Hêlios], who watches everything, watches you.” Helios knows that in the past you feel like you have been wronged. As the enforcer of oaths and promises, if you are honest with yourself and the situation the truth will come out and you will be aided.
Θ - Theta - “You have the helping Gods [Theoi] of this path.” If you are taking a plan of action do not worry! The Gods are guiding your way and you are in good hands. 
Ι - Iota - “There is sweat [’idrôs]; it excels more than everything.” Within your situation, there is going to be a lot of work. The gods recommend you buckle down and work as hard as you can, and it will not be easy. But it will be worth it.
Κ - Kappa - “To fight with the waves [Kuma] is difficult; endure, friend.” Now is not the time. You should wait until the vicious waves die down, and then take action.
Λ - Lambda - ““The one passing on the left [Laios] bodes well for everything.” Something that may seem really bad currently or in the future is actually going to turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Pay attention to your intuition!
Μ - Mu - “It is necessary to labor [Mokhtheô], but the change will be admirable.” You might feel distressed right now and that nothing is going right. But keep working to change either your situation or yourself, and the results will be in your favour.
Ν - Nu - ““The strife-bearing [Neikêphoros] gift fulfils the oracle.” Something will be given to you and enter your life. While it might not be obvious at first, this is the first domino in a line of changes that will happen in your life and make prophecy come true. 
Ξ - Xi - “There is no fruit to take from a withered [Xêros] shoot.” Being bitter and angry is not the way to go about things. Don’t keep trying to pull water out of a well that is empty, and know when to let go. 
Ο - Omicron - “There are no [Ou] crops to be reaped that were not sown.” In order to get things out of the situation, you have to plan ahead. What goes around comes around. 
Π - Pi - “Completing many [Polus] contests, you will seize the crown.” After many trials, you will achieve your goal. Persistence will give you your rewards, and do not be afraid to use your talents. 
Ρ - Rho - “You will go on more easily [Rhaion] if you wait a short time.” You should act, and quickly. Now is the best time and waiting longer is not a good idea. The stars are aligned and while it not be easy, there is no better time than the present. 
Σ - Sigma - “Phoibos Apollon speaks plainly [Saphôs], ‘Stay, friend.’” The gods want to inform you to wait for more information before you make any decisions. In this time, relax, and let the signs come to you.
Τ - Tau - “You will have a parting from the [Tôn] companions now around you.” Soon, people in your life might not stay the way they are. Friends might leave or enemies might leave. You might grow apart or distance or travel might force you away. Be wary of this, and act accordingly. 
Υ - Upsilon - “The affair holds a noble undertaking [Yposkhesis].” The task at hand is certainly a grand one, but with confidence, you, the hero of your own story, can pull through. You must acknowledge your strength, but also acknowledge the size of the task. 
Φ - Phi - “Having done something carelessly [Phaulos], you will thereafter blame the Gods.” Something is going wrong, and you may be trying to blame other things than the cause of the problem. Don’t resort to pointing fingers. The Gods will help you if you do not take out your anger on them or others needlessly. 
Χ - Khi - “Succeeding, friend, you will fulfill a golden [Khruseos] oracle.” Luck is on your side, and by mere chance, things might fall into place. The answer is positive, and you might be pleasantly surprised at all the riches that the world gives you in addition to your solution.
Ψ - Psi - “You have this righteous judgment [Psêphos] from the Gods.” Truth will be brought forwards, so be careful in your actions. The Gods are watching, and they will be fair, honest, and unforgiving to those who deserve it. This includes those who might be harming you, as well.
Ω - Omega - “You will have a difficult [Ômos] harvest season, not a useful one.” The times will be rough, and you will not get what you wish for at the end. You also might be forced to make tough decisions that you are not ready to make.

And those are the letters! Happy letter-casting!

i had such a weird dream last night.
it was right after i had such a bad nightmare, which is pretty normal for me, and it took a while to get back to sleep.
i can't remember much of it but i remember a bus being parked in the middle of my street and loads of people surrounding it. it looked like there was no one inside, but we were being told not to go in, so obviously i was like, well now i'm curious, and went inside.
when i got inside i saw two human shapes, only like huge, and i couldn't see either of their faces. one was covered in shadows and the other one light. so in my mind i'm like 'oh please not another nightmare', but dream me says out of nowhere, "Hades? Persephone?"
and this parts kinda creepy but the only thing i can see of them after i say the names is both of them smiling. the figure surrounded by light reached out and said in a soft, woman's voice, "it's okay, you can—" and then says something that i can't remember. the figure surrounded in shadow nodded, and then the bus starts to disappear and the figures fade away immediately before what seems to be a new dream starts.
i'm shook. i'm really annoyed that i can't remember what the light person said, but every time i think about it it's just blurred mumbles.
anyway how are y'all?

ok this probably means nothing and i'm just reading too much into it but... i wanted to grow some hyacinths for Apollo and went to ask my parents if they had grown any (in case they had seeds left over)
and they said "no, but you have!" and apparently when i was in primary school i grew hyacinths and they've been growing in our garden ever since... but how could i not remember this? or look at them in the garden and go, "oh, i remember when i planted those! :)"... and i've never even been much of a gardener. as far as i was concerned, i had never planted or grew anything in my life, apart from watercress. i'm so Confused™️
there have been hyacinths growing in my garden that I PLANTED for TWELVE. YEARS. i'm taking this to mean that Apollo truly has been with me this whole time. tell me if you think i'm taking it too seriously.
