#Hail King Zeus and Queen Hera of the Gods and Olympia

I have literally been obsessed with Hypnos the god of sleep in Greek mythology for years, to the point I did an art project based on sleep in art school.

 I have also been obsessed with the relationship he has with his twin brother Thanatos (death) his wife, one of the Charities Pasithea, and his son Morpheus.

The fact that the god of sleep and the goddess of hallucination and relaxation bore the god of dreams is amazing.

The fact that sleep is the twin of death, that they are very similar but very different. That death is a permanent sleep and a permanent step into dreams, which actually links more to the Welsh myth of the afterlife Annwn which is the land of gold and plenty

My thoughts get pulled between Hellenic and Cymraeg polytheism constantly, which comes from worshipping two very different pantheons.

But it happens in my life too, like the two jobs I have had this year one has been in Cwmbran (Bran - Welsh) and Swansea/ Abertawe (Swan - Zeus - Hellenic), and my new job that I start in a month is back in Cwmbran.

A coincidence maybe, but it is something I think about.
