#deimos and phobos deity

[poorbrokemess]

New alter set up.

Plushies for the gods

My own dead people

Something that gives me no end of comfort is I can be talking about the gods:

Hypnos and Thanatos for example - I refer to them as *the sleepy boys*.

Loki, Dionysus, Pan and say - *the theys*.

Demeter, Hera, Leto, Frigg, Sygin - and say *mothers*.

Zeus, Ares, Hades, Odin - *big daddy*.

Persephone, Aphrodite, Hestia, Artemis, Athena, Hel, Freyja, Idun and say *the ladies*.

Hephaestus, Hermes, Posideon, Thor, Tyr, Baldor, Hemidall and say the *boys * or *uncles*.

Deimos and Phobos I call *the twins*.

I like that there is an endless number of them. From all different pantheons.

I can comb through until I find the ones that stick.

I don't have to pick one and be done.

I don't even have to like them or their myths to give them appreciation. I can just be like, hey, there you are. Give a nod.

I'm allowed to be like, wow, that's uncool, we don't do that anymore, jot that down.

I know many perscribe to some form of religious aspects. Where as, I, like my man Hermes, am liminial. I move around and between. Find the cracks and poke around.

I love that that is okay.

I can just do whatever floats me for the day. Call to whomever I feel pulled to.

Freedom.

"Run little rabbit, run, because the sons of war haven't forgotten you."

I always forgot here, i'm sorry 😭

So here, The two sons of war, Deimos and Phobos based on Hades games.

You can say i'm really excited to see Ares and what happen to him in the Hades 2 but also if Deimos and Phobos are Canon in the games, but for now, i have my own vision of them.

Low energy Devotional Acts for when you don’t have a lot of energy (or time, or money, etc.)

⚔️Phobos and Deimos⚔️

- learn about their sacred animals: bulls, horses, lions, dogs, and carnivorous birds

- listen to or make a devotional playlist for Them (you can make one for both of Them individually or make one for both of Them together!)

- learn about the fight, flight, freeze response

- play a game (board game or video game) that uses strategy (can be a card game, chess, battleship, things like that!)

- learn about panic attacks and anxiety attacks, the difference between them, and either how to cope with them or help someone through them

- watch a horror movie

- read a horror book

- if horror movies aren’t your thing watch a Halloween special from your favorite tv show as it still has those elements of fear and dread sometimes!

- learn about Mars’ moons!

- learn about the differences between fear, terror, and dread

- watch combat sports (wrestling, boxing, etc. I’d say things like fencing, archery, and shooting are good options too)

- learn about weaponry (modern & ancient) and combat styles and strategies throughout the ages

- learn about various wars, riots, battles, protests, etc.

- watch war movies or war centered tv shows

- reflect on and address your own fears and ways you can potentially overcome them

Devotional Poem for Phobos and Deimos

Deimos, and Phobos, shield-breakers who walk with the Keres,  Twins of Queen Kytherea and her bloody Lord Ares, who arm themselves with terror. Oath-abandoning beasts, who compel disciplined warriors to flee. Riders of vile chariot, destroyers of men, lionlike dealers of death. Allies of Eris, who frenzy wives at wartime, and drive conspirators to act. Companions, beloved sons of Miaiphonos, his company in battle. Sweet children of Areia, who attend their mother in the sewn strife of affairs. Brothers of Harmonia and the Erotes, whose tastes sway them not. Double serpents who taste the sweetness of nectar in the blood of men. I lay upon you my own weapons, my sharpened eyes, and tongue, my hot-beating heart. With praise, I call upon you, who pray on the waiting and watching.  Deimos, dreadful one, who sits in darkness and invokes the tension of bodies. Phobos, terrorizer, who rushes to swell minds with horrors- and gives wing to flight. Ensnare me not, instead sit beside me. Twins who guide hearts to act with paralyzing after-taste, I lay upon you laurels of my own, immaterial arts of your mothers, Gifts born of passion and love, to satiate and calm.

Stand up for yourself

Stand up for the things you believe in

Assert your boundaries; make it clear when they have been crossed

Get a candle that reminds you of them - one for each or one for both (no altar needed)

Wear jewelry that reminds you of them

Keep a picture of them in your wallet

Exercise; move throughout your day, even just stretching

Learn about self-defense; carry a self-defense weapon (pepper spray, pocket knife, etc.)

Attend a protest (please be aware of your own safety in doing so)

Have a stuffed animal bull, horse, lion, dog, vulture, or other carnivorous bird

Have imagery of weapons, shields, armor, battles, warriors/fighters, chariots, or causes you deeply support around

Face your fears; challenge yourself by exposing yourself to things you're afraid of

Watch an action movie, anime, show, etc. that you enjoy

Engage with the horror genre; watch a horror movie, play a scary video game, read a horror based novel, etc.

Gather with friends around a fire at night and tell scary stories

Try something you've been putting off; take a risk; if you're scared, do it scared

Dance/sing to music that makes you feel empowered, badass, or brave

Support humanitarian efforts, especially those related to conflicts/wars; support human rights or abuse survivor organizations

Learn how to properly use a weapon, especially a spear or sword

Carry a charm that instills courage in or protects you

Practice emotional regulation; learn to express your emotions in a healthy way, especially anger

Prioritize your own well-being; taking care of others is good, but make sure you're meeting your own needs first

Collect animal bones (please thank the animal's spirit beforehand); engage in vulture culture

Be spontaneous; do something fun and adrenaline-pumping

Find ways to express yourself, even if it's small (bracelet that represents your gender, wear clothes that make you feel comfortable, wear your hair how you want to, etc.)

Wear a scary costume; make your own scary mask (I'd wear it on Halloween or for an event, but you can wear out in public if you want! Always ask permission from stores before wearing a masked costume first)

Encourage others to be themselves; encourage yourself to do so

Eat something spicy; eat something meaty

Drink something with cinnamon in it, such as tea or cinnamon latte; drink whiskey or fireball (if able obviously)

Draw something scary or ominous; draw to express your anger or fear

Draw, decorate, make, etc. a shield with a scary face or monster on it; this makes for good protection and was a common practice; using something scarier to scare off the scary things

Practice embracing the chaos of life; life is what happens when we're making other plans

Another reminder that Greek mythology is always somehow symbolic, metaphorical, allegorical, since we are dealing with anthropomorphic personifications and other embodiments of cosmic powers.

For example: Demeter has sex with both Zeus and Poseidon. Something-something about the relationship of the Earth with the Sky and the Sea (or the celestial and chthonian powers). ESPECIALLY since these relationships are said to happen at the beginning of the world, in the primordial times during which the world settled itself for what it is now.

Herakles' wedding with Hebe, the personification of youth, checks in with when he becomes an immortal god (aka, an eternally young entity). What better way to symbolize a hero escaping the clutches of death than by him becoming the husband of the spirit of eternal youth?

Why is Hestia never leaving Olympus? Something-something about her being the literal personification of the hearth, which is at the center of the house/community and does not move.

Why is Ares getting his ass kicked by Athena? Because Athena is civilization, and Ares savagery, and in the Ancient Greek mindset intelligence, wisdom and craft will always be above brutality, bloodlust and random cruelty.

Do I need to spell it out that the myth of Persephone-Hades-Demeter is about the cycle of the seasons, and how the earth renews itself and brings back life after a time of death?

And I wonder why Ares' companions during his mass-slaughters are called Phobos, Deimos and Eris - Fear, Panic and Discord... Why would the goddess that breaks harmony and sows feuds and chaos be depicted as the close sister of the god of the ravages of war and of the brutality of conflicts, what a strange mystery!

And I can go on, and on, and on. Remember, the Greek gods aren't just super-heroes or wizards (that's more in line with more "humanized" mythologies, like the Irish or Nordic ones). They are embodiments of concepts and ideas, personifications of natural forces and cosmic powers, they are living allegories and fleshed metaphors. Zeus wields the lightning because he IS the lightning and thunder. Dionysos is both the bringer of joy and madness because he IS alcohol. Hades is both the name of the god of the dead, and of the realm of the dead. Hestia's name is literaly "hearth" in Greek, Hebe "youth", Nyx "night", Gaia "earth", Eros "desire". You can write "Eris met Helios at Okeanos' palace" or you can write "Strife encountered the Sun at the palace of Ocean" and that is the EXACT SAME THING!

[Mind you to limit the gods to being JUST allegories is also a mistake not to make. Greek deities are much more than just X concept or X idea... But one part of the myths will always be, down the line, some weather metaphor or some natural cycle motif]
