Mental breakdown

Sometimes the souls of children need sweet lies to calm them down before taking them to the underworld..

[pockykierra]

Also I hope all the hype around Hades 2 brings people back the Charmes because Charon and Hermes are one of my favorite ships of all time and they deserve all the love and attention in the world <3333

[strangelittlestories]

There came a day when there were two mortals, one beloved by Dyonisus and another by Hermes, who fell in love.

They decided that, when they were wed, they wanted to both be united in worship of the same deity. However, they could not find a fair way to decide which.

So, on their wedding day, they communed with their gods. They did this by consuming a quite astonishing amount of mind-altering substances.

(This went largely unremarked upon by the guests of their tastefully rustic ceremony, as they did so during the photos. Thus, everyone was busy with Instagram and/or fistfighting that one uncle who had really had it coming.)

Being quite thoroughly stoned - to the degree that they were not only *out* of their gourds but that if you asked the gourds about them then the gourds would have denied them three times - their consciousnesses drifted up into the firmament to walk upon Olympus.

Hermes and Dyonisus agreed that they would settle this in a game of poker.

The couple nodded and smiled beatifically, happy to be valued so highly as to be chips in a cosmic game (also, snacks were provided, which was a real win).

The two deities locked eyes over the poker table, their two drugged up devotees between them.

"Well, I think we can agree on one thing." Said Hermes, stuffing cards up his sleeves.

"Oh yes." replied Dionysus, as he spiked Hermes' ambrosia.

"The stakes have never been higher."

[stars-on-the-water]

I asked Lord Hermes for my package a day early in exchange for fruit snacks. Not any fruit snacks, the good ones.

Guess who got his package?

Offerings don’t need to be expensive or bought

I’ve noticed throughout the pagan community that there’s a compulsion to associate offerings and their value, with monetary value. Even though so many people on so many platforms have tried their best to bring this to light, I still even find myself questioning if my hymns and natural offerings are enough.

I truly believe that in between religious corruption and capitalism, pagan spaces have been heavily influenced by consumerism: a value that’s so far removed from the origins of our practice. Most of the worshippers in Hellenic polytheism, (and many other pagan practices) are low income! As someone who works two jobs, lives with their working boyfriend AND lives without certain utilities (I have water powered housing), the cost of living is still way too high for the average person.

With limited time, money, and patience, sometimes I just say thank you. Sometimes I just spend some time outside, or find cool leaves and those offerings go to my deities. Pinecones, bottle caps, cute flowers. All of these are real examples of offerings I’ve made.

Using affordable materials has drastically changed my relationship with the Gods… it’s improved by so much! I feel closer, down to earth with these beings, and I’m able to afford my groceries doing so. I sing a hymn in the car or say thank you, and though it doesn’t require much, they appreciate it the same (if not more so)!

May the Gods look down and smile at their worshippers, especially the ones who need them the most.

WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE CHARACTER (and who is your least favourite character)

Oooo! Tough question!! So I love Odysseus, I love Telmachus, I love Penelope I love Hermes, and I love Circe (I don’t have just one favorite and will not be choosing :)) I don’t really like Antinuous that much. Also not super fond of Zeus.

Ares with wings of night

In the idea, everything was drawn much better, but I didn’t have enough skill for it (and a stylus, it’s inconvenient to draw with a finger)

My headcanon is that Ares has wings, the legacy of wing genetics was passed on to him from his father Zeus, and originates from the chthonic nature, that is, the more ancient creatures of the underworld.

The gods endure all wounds and illnesses in the same painful and symptomatic manner as people, only they cannot end their suffering in the arms of death, so it is logical that many of the immortals try Avoid pain. Except for Ares. in the heat of battle, he fights on equal terms with people in terms of suffering, so in the respites, like everyone else, there is minimal quick dressing of wounds.(Wings are hidden from view.by the way, these are the wings of the Crow))

Aaand, I have a request - I'm tired of the background, it seems to me unsuccessful, so if you want to decorate it in your own way, write to me in private messages
