Queen of the hunt, holy Mistress of childbirth. Bestower of life and death alike, for your arrows always find their mark. Sacred lady of the moon and the wilds. Untamed, feral, and fire-eyed.

I find you in every dewy pink dawn. I feel you in the crisp, cold night wind. I know you in the white breath of deer herds as they move through your forests.

To be embraced by you is to be cradled in my true mother's arms. For I know you as the architect of my soul and the eternal keeper of my heart.

On this day, I thank you for your presence. I thank you for teaching me the endless cycle of rebirth, of a mother's love, of the thrill of the hunt.

For you have stretched your divine hand through this universe to reach me, and I pray only to take shelter in your sublime spirit.

I love you, my lady. Always and forever with all of me.

Perhaps that’s the whole point of prayer – to think to yourself in peace, to want nothing, to ask for nothing, but simply to sort out your own mind. That should be enough.

Here's my altar. Just offered incense offerings (usually what I offer anyways). The top row is Apollo and Artemis, the middle is Anpu/Anubis, and the bottom is Hermes. I have to print out a picture of anubis that's big enough to fit in the frame.

Prayer to Aphrodite for Self-Love

(Disclaimer: this is my first time writing a prayer, feedback would be welcome!)

O Aphrodite,

Goddess of love in all its forms

Please help me with this small ask.

Bless me with love for myself

Allow me to see the beauty inside and out

Beautiful Ruler of the heart

Show me the good I already possess

Guide me toward love for myself

And show me what I refuse to see

O Loving Goddess

Hear my request

had a big night on my altar with Lord Dionysus.

i’ve been struggling a lot mentally, both with symptoms and figuring out medication, so i called upon Him, Sôtêrios, the Savior from Madness (i’m currently in a psychotic episode); Him, Kissios, Of the Ivy with my decorations of english ivy from around my house; Him, Agathos Daimon, The Good Spirit, to help me keep house and stay comfortable while all of this is going on; and finally, Him, Lamptêros, Of the Torches, to bring light into the darkness i am feeling.

i offered Him a frankincense incense stick, english ivy, ginger root with a symbol of Him carved into it, a libation of what i personally think is the best drink in the house (grapefruit citrus sparkling water…. i don’t drink alcohol), tarot cards i associate with him, stones and pendulums that are made with stones associated with him, as well as many, many candles. i also agreed to lighting His devotional candle more than usual and on every sunday to reaffirm what we have done today (as today is sunday)

even if Lord Dionysus only helps me a little, i will be eternally grateful. He has helped me through so much and when it comes to my mental health, especially because i have schizophrenia and people literally call me “mad”, i feel very connected to Him. i’m also genderqueer and embracing Him in my life has been easier coming to terms with my gender identity.

also when i finished my whole prayer, with His playlist on in the background, the current song ended and switched to one of my all time favorites on the playlist so ill take that as a good sign 🥰

🍇 Praise Lord Dionysus 🍇
