From my diabolical diary

"September 17th. Turbulence defines today: steady turbulence - nothing at all likely to bring down a plane, but doubtless exigent, no way dismissible. It came simply akin to, and along, with the autumnal wind, in gusts — and many there were today, menacing on this non-typically sharp-pitched roof I am now on — came feelings of apparent contentment, seemingly quite robust, only to be soon blown away and replaced by a breeze of (seemingly) equally sturdy inexorable disquietude, equally general in the way it felt to have a sort of speechless applicability to everything, to specifically nothing in particular: an all-encompassing gloom, not acute, more like an atmosphere, one which, today, never quite settled or found roots, not until I obliterated my tensions with Roche’s soporific delight and Purdue’s powerful poppy pharmaceutic; then that miasma of moods bovinely vanished. 

  As such did, the man I was, grouchy, hasty, trying, did too - to the superlative emergence of a gorgeously pensive creature, with the sage pace of a tortoise, nearly indescribable as to its body like butter melting in the soft steam of a pice of toast; at the hands of the morphine-like substance, Oscar the Grouch became the dense satin petals of a late-summer echinacea tepid in the magnanimous impending sunset, nourished, elated, gleaming in natural colour from the prime soil in which it wholesomely grows, smiling next to its prepossessing, benevolent brothers and sisters.  

  'Why not be a trifle more sophisticated, at least for once or twice? Why not revel in a dose of pomp too? Morpheus has lulled you, why not let Petulantia pull you towards the golden fields which the sun has bathed for you? You’ve chosen to walk this far, and a little further should only be amplificatory, and thus more sublime. Aphrodite’s thirst for aesthetics combined in your affair can only distil the wine to greater purity and potency. Relish, young man. You are 27, and you are choosing those steps you are taking. Perhaps, indeed, you should close your eyes more often - maybe at the chance of noticing something inner, in you.' Doped up, I fall in and out of visions, sailing through animated worlds only to open my eyes to find myself sitting here typing at my desk instead of entering the lair of some royal creature, or in some other engaging, weird context which, more than anything else, I can define and feel only as purely unpredictable. The rest is mystery. I close my eyes once again relishing in that ambivalence as to what will ensue, what will be produced by this dreamy haze, what zany sights befall my shut eyes."

Characters designed and sold. These two were based off the zodiac sign Pices, which apparently is based on a myth where Aphrodite and her sun escape an attack by hiding on the ocean floor with 2 fish. 8/ go figure . #pices #zodiacsigns #zodiac #characterdesign #aphrodite

Idk what pices aphrodite is/is from but id love to hear

SCREAMS AND CRIES THANK YOU BESTIE THANK YOU SO MUCH. I ALWAYS HAVE MORE APHRODITE THOUGHTS.

aphrodite........ he’s such a guy he’s such a dude. it’s implied that gold saints choose their own names after a certain point - considering the lost canvas, which isn’t exactly canon, shows that all taurus saints change their names to aldebaran and deathmask is definitely not the name that guy was born with - and i can’t help but wonder why aphrodite would make that his name. obviously, he’s beautiful. he knows he’s beautiful and he considers his beauty as important to who he is as his position as a gold saint. but here’s the thing: it’s considered a very bad thing to choose to name yourself after a god. in saint seiya, where aphrodite serves one of said gods (hint: not the one he’s named after), it cannot be that good of a thing for him to be called that. unless kurumada threw actual greek mythos out the window like how he did with everything else in this series. anyway. i think aphrodite was given this name. not by his parents, i don’t think so, but by sanctuary. as we know, he’s considered the most beautiful of the 88 saints. not even the stars are as beautiful as him according to sts awakening. if we can get anything from most of the golds’ backstories, it’s that they weren’t the most fortunate growing up - a lot of them didn’t have families. it’s not a stretch to believe aphrodite also had no family and didn’t even have a name when he reached sanctuary, and was named not after, but in honor of the goddess because he’s just beautiful like that. beauty was considered a gift from the gods in ancient greece - something referenced in sts - so we can assume that he was given the gift of beauty by the goddess he would eventually be named in honor of. that is all thank you

My daily ritual format 🌙🕯️

So I thought of sharing this format I've been thinking of for a long time, because perhaps it can help someone! I know getting used to praying everyday can be difficult, even when you really want to get closer to the Gods. I've seen other formats on the internet, but most of them are very elaborated and as a low spoon devotee who doesn't always have the time to prepare everything, they're not something I would do daily, even if I promise it to myself or the Gods.

So: there are people that have been on this path for a long time and are willing to (either because of habit, reverence, or discipline) do those longer and more elaborate daily rites. But let's be real, when you're new to this, haven't taken an oath, are not that experienced with polytheism or have any impediment (be it physical or emotional, or anything else) —you're not gonna do those rites. Even if you start trying, you will probably leave it at some point. But! Don't think the Gods would get disappointed at you for this. On the contrary, if this has ever happened to you, take it as a chance to know yourself and your limitations. Anyway, no more wording. Here's the ritual format:

* This rites are designed to be done after showering (so you can be clean and presentable for the Gods) so try to fit that into your schedule. If for whatever reason you can't do them after showering, then find another time and just focus on cleaning up a bit and doing khernips.

* You don't have to do khernips daily. However, you should use them everytime you do a rite. Do them once a week and keep the water somewhere you can still use it for the rest of the week. You don't even need bay laurel —try drawing a cleansing/purifying sigil on a pice of paper and burn that. It doesn't have to be river or mountain water either, use tap water and sprinkle some salt into it. If you want, you can bless the salt beforehand in order for it to have the sole purpose of purifying the water. Whatever you feel is more practical and comfortable.

Rise offering or light incense (I personally have a different type of incense each day, dedicated to different Deities. Another tip: if you drink coffee, water or tea, offer a slip of that —it also creates a more intimate bond with the Deities, since you're sharing)

Offer the first portion to Hestia. Say something like: As always, the first portion goes to you, Mother Hestia, who takes care of this family and keeps us warm.

Offer another portion to the Deity of the day. It's part of my practice to dedicate each day to a different Olympian/Chthonic Deity. If you have any special candles for said Deity, light them up now. For example, I devote Mondays to Artemis and Hekate, so I would say something like: I offer a second portion of this [incense] to Lady Artemis and Mother Hekate, who I dedicate this day to. Have your devotee in mind and let me bask in your holy light as always.

Offer last portion to household & patron Deities. In my case, it's Apollo, Hermes and Aphrodite so I would say something like: Beloved Apollo, Bright Hermes, and Lovely Aphrodite: enjoy the rest of this offering [of incense] and guide me today as always. May your sacred blessings reach me in a way I can be able to recognize, and may I delight in your sacred presence today as yesterday. I love you.

Optional: Meditate. At least five minutes. Stay silent, listen, feel. Just accept. Ask for guidance, but on some slow instrumental or a guided meditation of your choice. Think of your purpose and manifest it, or ground yourself, or focus on visualizing in order to strengthen your connection to the Gods. You can also do a little tarot spread if you're in a hurry, grab a card or two and have their positive message in mind throughout the day.

Give thanks, from your heart. I would usually say something like: Precious Gods, enormous powers of the Universe, I give you thanks for the uncountable gifts I receive from you daily. I only ask for one thing: for my loved ones, me, and humanity as a whole to be able to know peace and love in abundance.

Close the rite. If it feels weird to just walk away then say something; that the ritual has come to an end and you wish for Them to enjoy the offerings, ask Them to tell you throughout the day about anything they want you to know, if the offerings are propitious, if there's anything They want you to change or add to your sacred time, etc. Ask them to stay in communication with you. If you have trouble noticing their signs you can also connect to your Higher Self in meditation for you to be more opened to the Gods.

Do this ritual whenever you feel comfortable throughout the day. Showering or taking a bath relaxes your mind and it's good to approach the Gods with a peaceful mentality, so do whatever makes you feel serene before the ritual takes place. Also, keep the Gods in mind when you're finished. Talk to Them throughout the rest of the day, practice Their virtues, dedicate different activities to Them. They love to be present with us!

I hope this helps someone! You can add or change anything to the format in order to make it more yours.

Blessed be and may the Gods fill your life with sweetness! 💗

I’m so excited to release the Samhain Ritual Cape on this beautiful Harvest Full Moon in Pices ⚪️ This Offering was inspired by the Sabbath Samhain which is a celebration of the end of Harvest Season on Oct 31st – Nov 1st. Also known as hollows eve it is a time when the veil is thin and communion with the Spirit world is even more accessible. I’m using the Wheel of the Year as a jumping off point for each offering to honor and deepen our relationship with the seasonal cycles in the Northern hemisphere. Each offering will be available for 2-3 weeks and then will end in time for me to make and ship your garment so that it arrives before that Sabbath. I’m so excited to share a more in depth journey into my life’s work as an herbalist, clothing designer, yogini, and environmentalist. The Garment Design: The garment design for this offering is the Super Cowl Aphrodite Long Cape in our Med Stretch Hemp/Organic Cotton. A perfect design for layering into Winter. The Super Cowl style is a low neckline with a long, wide cowl. This elegant design can be beautifully draped in the front or over the shoulders, or can easily be worn as a hood. One of our most versatile styles, the Super Cowl can shield from both sun and cold, carrying you through all the seasons. A Gaia Goddess essential, the Aphrodite is a ritual worthy choice with a flowy shape that tapers in slightly from wrist to hem. Spirits: Please visit the Offering page to see a more in depth list of all beings involved with the making of this offering, their connection to Samhain and their energetic and medicinal properties. The quick list of all involved is Mugwort, Goddess Durga, Goddess Kali, Goddess Lakshmi, Organic Cotton, Hemp, Sequoia, Black Walnut, Sandalwood, Saffron, Chaga, Reishi, He Shou Wu, Pearl, Tocos, Ashwagandha, Pine Pollen, Astragalus, Flower Essence of Poppy, Flower Essence of Rhododendron, Indigo, Madder, Cochineal, Water, Fire, Metal, Air, and Earth.
