The Orphic Hymn to Gaia

O Goddess, Earth, of Gods and men the source,

Endu'd with fertile, all destroying force;

All-parent, bounding, whose prolific pow'rs,

Produce a store of beauteous fruits and flow'rs,

All-various maid, th' eternal world's strong base

Immortal, blessed, crown'd with ev'ry grace;

From whose wide womb, as from an endless root,

Fruits, many-form'd, mature and grateful shoot.

Deep bosom'd, blessed, pleas'd with grassy plains,

Sweet to the smell, and with prolific rains.

All flow'ry dæmon, centre of the world,

Around thy orb, the beauteous stars are hurl'd

With rapid whirl, eternal and divine,

Whose frames with matchless skill and wisdom shine.

Come, blessed Goddess, listen to my pray'r,

And make increase of fruits thy constant care;

With fertile Seasons in thy train, draw near,

And with propitious mind thy suppliant hear.

Original in Greek

θυμίαμα πᾶν ��πέρμα πλὴν κυάμων καὶ ἀρωμάτων.

Γαῖα θεά, μῆτερ μακάρων θνητῶν τ' ἀνθρώπων,

πάντροφε, πανδώτειρα, τελεσφόρε, παντολέτειρα,

αὐξιθαλής, φερέκαρπε, καλαῖς ὥραισι βρύουσα,

ἕδρανον ἀθανάτου κόσμου, πολυποίκιλε κούρη,

ἣ λοχίαις ὠδῖσι κύεις καρπὸν πολυειδῆ,

ἀιδία, πολύσεπτε, βαθύστερν', ὀλβιόμοιρε,

ἡδυπνόοις χαίρουσα χλόαις πολυάνθεσι δαῖμον,

ὀμβροχαρής, περὶ ἣν κόσμος πολυδαίδαλος ἄστρων

εἱλεῖται φύσει ἀενάωι καὶ ῥεύμασι δεινοῖς.

ἀλλά, μάκαιρα θεά, καρποὺς αὔξοις πολυγηθεῖς

εὐμενὲς ἦτορ ἔχουσα, σὺν ὀλβίοισιν ἐν ὥραις.

Our duty with Gaia, The Earth; The Living Beings, and with The Humanity: Stopping Climate's Change from The Pagan/Wiccan/Witch's Perspective.

(Note: I mention some advice than may help to our Planet and us, than show our devotion and duty to the Earth/Deities; but... If you are allergic to any food or ingredients, don't use them; and read any container or product before to buy it or eat it, to avoid allergic reactions; and don't make changes in your diet, if you are a minor; you are pregnant, lactating, with a medical condition, or; recovering of a disease: Thank you for reading my post!)

We tend to focus too much in our Spirituality (Or, in our faith), than we sometimes may loss sight of the material aspect in our lives; like profits to buy the things we need, socialization; work in The Communities we live (in a big or a little scale), or spending more time with our love ones, 'cause we may have neglected our families/friends/plants/pets; attending to other things. Today, I will talk of one of the things; we may forgot sometimes, as both our duty and an offering to the Deities...

...Fighting against Climate Change in a daily basis, in all the ways we can!

Now, all of you may think: What kind of nonsense is this, of talk about Climate Change in a Pagan/Wiccan/Witch Blog?! Well... Before you think in leaving this post, I'm assure you than this will maybe more useful than you may think, so please... Get along with this, and in the end; you will decided if it reading it, was of any worth for you!

As a person tha lives in The Caribbean... I had live the horrifying impacts than Climate Change, has caused indirectly in my life; and directly, in the lives of others than lives in communities far from were I live in my country, and... In the images from the the nearest islands, and in the nations bathed by The Caribbean Sea. (I don't going to fill your mind, with the saddest and terrorific details than may causes to anyone than reads them; at least 1 or 2 nights of nightmares; but... I will resume it, in two quotes: ''The water for the first time, innundated completely to the street were I live'', and ''I don't desired what I have saw in the news, even to my worst enemy...'' )

I'm talking of this issue, 'cause Climate Change is not something than we expected to happen; when we have our heads full of white/gray hairs, or; as something than the ones younger than us, with have to deal with our lack of efforts to stop it, after we left this world: The Consecuences of The Climate Change (including the more unbereable heat we felt and feel in these years), is not something of a far future... Is happening in front of our own eyes, now!

The Pagans, The Wiccans and Witches of The World, we must do all we can in our hands, to avoid the dark fate than may fall over the present and future generations; and over our Planet, as much as possible: As ''The Special Sons and Daughters of Gaia'', we must do it for our Mother Gaia; which provide us of our food, the nature where we go to recharge our energies or where to live; the plants and animals than heal us and reconfort us even with their sight and presence, and... With her endless maternal love for all the beings in The Earth.

These are all the things in full we can make to honor the compromise to help to Gaia, to help her to fight Climate Change; than is the same to help to sustain life for all of us... And, for our Planet:

Eat Local Products, as much as possible: 80% of your grocery buy, must came of your country. Ex.: If you buy 10 articles, only 2 of them, can be foreign products. If you buy 100 articles, only 20 can be; of foreign production. (In this way, means of less use of gasoline to transporting food; less air's contamination, plus... Saving more money!)

Travel using Non-Motor Vehicles, as much as possible: Roller-Skates, Skateboards and Bikes; are your best options for short trips. If you have trouble walking, or you can't walk more than 4 Kms. At foot... Use public transportation, or share a car with family/friends! (If you use an electric wheelchair for any reason, don't worry: Is your way to move in The World, and... Wheelchairs never has appeared as a contaminating vehicle!)

Travel more inside your country, than to foreign lands: Less distance to travel... Means less contaminating material than may ends in the water, the soil and/or the air. And... You will have the chance to meet wonders in your own nation, than you didn't know than exists! (Save the money of your countless trips on a cruise/plane, for your next spring/summer/autumn/winter/end of the year/beginning of the year getaway!)

Turn off any devices than you are not using in that time: If you know than your trip to the nearest store at home, will take more than 20 or 30 minutes... Why leaves the TV/AC/PC/etc, turn on? Is the same thing, if you leaves a light on; or any devices on without using it at the moment. (Your pocket and The Planet... Will thank you for that!)

Uses your technology devices, in a wise eco-friendly way: If your smartphone has more than six month of being buyed, and have a little scratch on the screen... Please don't discarded for a new one, if is still working mostly well: Give it a least six months more, so to avoid the liquids than leaks to the earth, after the Smartphone/Laptop/PC/Tablet; are trowed to the garbage. (Plus, you will have more time and money to buy a new device; with a higher quality and durability than the old one!)

Buy Beauty and/or Personal Care Products made with organic ingredients: You can buy an Sunscreen, than doesn't damage to the Coral Reefs; in a supermarket (Is that simple to take care of ourselves and the Planet), and even if is not 100% organic... Is a big change, as of using Shampoos; Makeups, or anything for your routine than have mostly organic products; or at least the less amount of chemicals possible.

Eat more Vegetables/Fruits/Legumes/Mushrooms, and less Animal Products: Dairy products, Honey and Eggs (Unless, you're a Vegan...); are the best sources of Proteins of High Quality and Vitamin B12, which deficiency causes many health issues; and are the best way to prescind of eating meat, specially red meat. (If you were advice by a doctor to eat meat for anemia, do it as the doctor advises you: I want than people to saves The Earth... Without risking their health!)

Buying Second-Hand Clothing, and/or New Clothes dyed Naturally; help too: Dyes in clothes are mostly chemicals, and contaminates the earth; the rivers and the seas: If you don't like the idea of using second-hand clothing (you can leave it in hot or clorinated water for 24 hours, rinses totally and hang it outside till totally dried; to left than the power of The Sun, desinfects and killed whatever the washing alone couldn't; but... YMMV!), then find online what companies and brands uses natural dyes in their clothes; so you now know to where to buy; to your next brand new clothes!

Reuse any container than says reusable, after you finish the original contain in it: Example: If that little container of Sodium Bicarbonate is now empty... You can use it to keeps all those loose button than fall from your clothes, or that little glass bottle of olive oil; wash it well, mix vinegar and oil with spices... And makes your own homemade salad dressing! (These are general ideas, to avoid to add more garbage to The Earth; for a awhile)

Play Board Games/Table Games, when you get tired of watching TV/Websurfing: By turning off your TV or your Computer, and play Board/Table Games; you will save energy and money, and keeps your brain healthy. (If your live alone, or don't have someone to play regularly... Remember than ''Solitary'', ''Sudoku''; ''Kakuro'' and ''Crosswords'', can being play alone, the same as a Puzzle of 100 pieces; or more!)

Try to watch less of 4 hours of TV, a day. (If you still watching, or using a TV; at home): One of the Home Devices than more consumes electricity, is the Color TV; and watching 4 hours of TV or more, is detrimental for your health, the Earth (Or your wallet); but... In the time of the TV Streaming, is hard for many people to fulfill this goal; but... Don't feel guilty about it! Just pick wisely at what moment of the day you will watch TV: You can watch two hours at afternoon and two at nights, or four hours after returning from work; or one hour of TV at the morning and the rest after work: You will have more time to do things than you like, like a walk to your neighborhood or community; visit to friends, reading a book, starting a new personal project, talking to a friend/family member at the phone... And anything you have a long time not doing, for watching more TV than you should. (Trust me: Just like you... I Woke up one day, saying to myself: ''I think is time to watch LESS TV!...'')

With all these advices, you life will improve greatly; and you will feel proud of helping to our planet, to others; and to Gaia.

That's all for today: Than all of us can help to Gaia in anyway we can, be it in the big or small way; for our future... So Be It!

Sobre os Primordiais - Gaia, a Mãe-Terra.

Começando esta nova série onde trazemos detalhes relevantes sobre os Protogenoi, iniciaremos por uma das mais populares deidades. Amplamente retratada na mitologia, frequentemente descrita como uma antagonista dos Deuses nestes escritos e sendo uma potência inegável de vida e fertilidade, falamos hoje de Gaia, a Terra. Note que usaremos aqui nestes escritos, propositalmente, o nome das divindades e seu domínio de modo intercambiável, uma vez que os protogenoi são literalmente estes elementos que compõem o Cosmos.

Também chamada Gê ou Géia, a Mãe Terra emergiu do Caos Primordial (mais sobre ele em um próprio post!) segundo Hesíodo em sua Teogonia, escrito que narra o nascimento dos Deuses compilando os mitos em narrativa. Uma grande mãe por excelência, Terra tem inúmeros Deuses, daimones e seres divinos como parte de sua descendência.

Em seu domínio está a terra em todas as suas expressões - desde vãos na terra à cavernas, campos e florestas, pois Gê é o próprio chão onde se pisa. Nas descrições de ritos ctônicos da Odisséia, Gê está entre os Deuses para os quais Odisseu dedica um sacrifício, pois abaixo dela é onde se encontra, segundo os antigos, o Mundo Inferior.

Nas suas representações antropomórficas, Gaia é retratada como uma matrona com vestidos longos, adornada com frutos da terra ou com os karpoi, os daimones dos frutos e filhos dela. Um dos símbolos visíveis também é uma cornucópia recheada de alimentos. Nos vasos de cerâmica, Gaia é frequentemente representada se erguendo da terra.

Diferentemente da maioria dos Primordiais, Gaia era uma divindade com um culto consistente em alguns locais, presente em santuários menores de outras deidades como Zeus e Deméter. Seu culto estava presente na região da Ática, Lacedemônia, Aquéia e também na Arcádia, mas há poucos relatos de algum templo dedicado inteiramente à Mãe Terra.

Listamos aqui alguns nomes e epítetos de culto usados para Gaia.

Nomes alternativos

Khthon/Khthonie (Χθον/Χθονιη) - É uma palavra alternativa para "terra", origem da expressão "ctônico", ou seja, "da terra".

Epítetos

Meter Panton (Μητηρ Παντων) - "Mãe de Todos" Euristenos (Ευρυστερνος) - "De amplo seio" Megale Thea (Μεγαλη Θεα) - "Grande Deusa" Olimpia (Ολυμπια) - "de Olímpia", uma das cidades do peloponeso com um proeminente culto a Zeus. Havia um altar para ela no templo. Gasepton (Γασηπτον) - "Terra sublime" Kourotrophos (Κουροτροφος) - "Nutriz dos jovens" Anesidora - "Dispensadora de bens"

Como podemos ver, os epítetos de Gê referem-se grandemente a sua fertilidade, capacidade enquanto cuidadora e nutriz de toda a criação.

Nas narrativas míticas, Gaia é frequentemente citada como a sustentadora da vida terrena e seus hinos a descrevem como fonte da felicidade dos mortais. Clamada na Ilíada como testemunha para juramentos e honrada em altares como o poder por trás da vida que fervilha na terra, Gê é de importância inestimável e dá forma ao planeta que habitamos.

Por fim, encerramos este post com seu hino homérico, traduzido por Alexandra Nikaios.

De Geia eu canto, Mãe firme de tudo, a mais antiga, que alimentou a vida na terra, sempre que caminhava no solo ou nadasse no mar ou voasse; Ela sustentou cada uma de suas riquezas. Através de ti os povos são abençoados de filhos e frutos, Ó Rainha, que dá e reclama a vida dos mortais; enriqueça quem quer que te agrade e honre; toda a abundância para eles; que suas terras férteis sejam frutíferas; através dos campos seus rebanhos prosperem; sua casa seja repleta de deuses. Eles regem os estados bem-ordenados com formosas mulheres, e ampliam as riquezas dos que os seguem; seus filhos exultam com júbilo jovial; suas filhas brincam em danças de espalhar flores com o coração feliz, e pulam pelos campos floridos. Tal coisa tu dás, Rica Divindade Sagrada. Então te saúdo, Deusa-Mãe, Esposa do Céu Estrelado; recompense minha canção com um sustento prazeroso! De ti eu me recordo, e de outra canção também.

[apollon-quotes]

"First, in this prayer of mine, I give the place of highest honor among the gods to the first prophet, Earth; and after her to Themis, for she was the second to take this oracular seat of her mother, as legend tells.

And in the third allotment, with Themis’ consent and not by force, another Titan, child of Earth, Phoebe, took her seat here. She gave it as a birthday gift to Phoebus, who has his name from Phoebe.

Leaving the lakeband ridge of Delos, he landed on Pallas’ ship-frequented shores, and came to this region and the dwelling places on Parnassus. The children of Hephaistos, road-builders taming the wildness of the untamed land, escorted him with mighty reverence.

And at his arrival, the people and Delphus, helmsman and lord of this land, made a great celebration for him. Zeus inspired his heart with prophetic skill and established him as the fourth prophet on this throne; but Loxias is the spokesman of Zeus, his father.”

Fun Facts About SUCCULENTS

Succulents are some of my favorite plants. As a plant biology nerd, I thought I'd share some brief information about them! ₊˚ʚ 🌱 ₊˚✧ ﾟ.

What are succulents?

Succulent are plants that have thickened leaves, stems, etc, that are fleshy and bloated (usually in order to preserve water in its proper conditions to thrive off of longer than other plants). Cacti are a sub-category of succulents.

Fun Fact #1: Size Matters!

Unlike some plants, a succulent may be smaller or larger depending on the location when healthy. For example, a succulent should have smaller leaves when in higher elevated areas. Whether it be the desert or somewhere completely opposite, size matters when it comes to the succulent's performance & wellbeing!

Fun Fact #2

Succulents have many great uses! The most common type is Aloe Vera. The gel from Aloe succulent makes a great healing property. You can apply it to your skin for minor cuts and scrapes, or you can also use it as a facial cleanser.

You can also even consume some succulents! Fruits such as Dragonfruit and Nopales!

(Aloe vera is also used for food / drinks, and various cultural + spiritual practices!)

Fun Fact #3

Over 60 families

There are more than 60 succulent families!

10,000 varieties

Additionally, there's approximately 10,000 succulent plant varieties known! This includes cacti, aloe, and many more!

Fun Fact #4

Succulents come in a variety of shapes, colors and textures!

Some are super soft, some are more rigid. Some are pink, some are green, some are purple or blue! There's also reds, oranges, and other colors.

More than just leaves

This beautiful diversity is seen not only in the leaves of the plant, but also in the base, the bloom, everywhere! And, can differ depending on environment.

Fun Fact #5

Not only are succulents one of the easiest plants to grow because of how self-sustaining they are, but they're actually recommended for beginners who don't have a natural green thumb. You have to try to kill a succulent!

Fun Fact #6: Pest Resistant

Succulents can be extremely pest resistant! Having various insects mess with your succulent is actually a very uncommon occurrence, depending on the variety of the plant.

Fun Fact #7: Make a statement!

Succulents can actually be used for jewelry! Whether it be sticking them on a bracelet or having them grow over a necklace, succulents can be great for your fashion needs due to how low-maintenance and unneedy the plant naturally is.

(Succulents can also be used in resin creations!)

Fun Fact #8

These plants are survivors! They can grow through hardy conditions, such as dry and hot environments, extremely cold climates, and almost any severe temperature. Whether they're cacti or not, many can even thrive through snow, and many have natural sun protection. This means that they can grow in nearly any part of the U.S. as well as other countries!

Fun Fact #9

Succulents can disguise themselves

There are several types of succulents that are able to disguise themselves to stay safe from animals. The most common succulent, Cacti is easily able to protect itself with its sharp needle like spines, but some succulents can hide in plain sight.

Lithops are refered to as "Living Stones" because they resemble stones. Therefore when predators come across it, they have no interest.

Succulents are powerful, beautiful plants.

Thanks for learning these fun facts about succulents! I hope you enjoyed, and please stay tuned for more cool info-posts!

The Spiritual Meaning of Autumn: Time of Finding Balance and Calm in The Year (And... In your Life!)

Many people... Always feel sad, at the arrival of Autumn. Not because they may suffer from ''The Seasonal Depression'' (Which is, when for the change of duration in sunlight; some persons fall in depression, until that season; ends), because the change in sunlight and in weather; means than they are forced to spends more times indoors than outdoors, feeling bored and doing all the things they were intentionally postponing; and than now they most do, 'cause all social activities have become scarce; and this is the only thing they must do, to forget their annoyance... But Autumn, is not a season to despises to; no... Is an oportunity to do something than we forgot to do, in our fast and loud modern society...

...To relax and find balance, and our time with our closer love ones; or alone!

The Autumn Equinox (like in Spring), is the time when the day and night; has the same lenght; which is different from The Summer's and Winter's Solstices, where the day and night; has a different lenghts. The Spring and Summer, are seasons of many social activities; were all is full of color: The Spring, is associated with Love and Life; while Summer, is associated with Passion and Adventure; and these two seasons, overall; are associated with Youth, Beauty and Joy, which explains why the arrival of Autumn; may feels ominous for many people: Autumn... Is associated with Sadness, Decay... And the Darkness than starts to grows and to permeates everything around us. But, if you takes your time to reflexionate about it; Autumn, may be equally as fun and/or important, as its brights and colorful sisters.

This is the things you can do (with your love ones, or by yourself), to revitalizes your heart and soul; and, as a moment to connect in this season; with Deities/Nature/The Earth:

Taking an slow little walk, while feeling Autumn with your senses: The smell in the air of the soil mixed with rainwater, the sight of the fallen leaves in its different colors; the feeling of the earth beneath your shoes/boots, etc... Will helps you to connect to Nature/Spirits/Deities/, by being relax; and being in the present moment.

Watching the rain fall in front of a window, while reading a book; drinking a tea, or both: You will feel the positive and magical side of Autumn with these activities, be it than you are sitting with a coat; with a big duvet/blanket over your clothes, or... Even sitted in bed.

Seeing an clean and beautiful sky, after the rain: If appears a rainbow, will gives you the chance to feel magic and hope; despite the gray clouds around the rainbow. (But... That feeling is as equal as powerful, by seeing a clean and bright night of Autumn; after the rain!)

Enjoying the sounds of a Thunderstom: Just like Electrical Storms... It will connect you to the raw energies of The Planet, and with Gaia's Heartbeat; and also... To the Deities of The Thunder!

Amazing yourself by seeing an Electrical Storm: Nothing like seeing an Electrical Storm, to connects to the magic and power of the Air and Storm Deities; and... You'll have something to watch, when electricity is gone! (Note: Watch them inside of home, at 1 or 2 meters awat from windows; for your safety!)

Converts an area of your house in your personal refuge, from the chaos of The World: If could be your Attic, your cellaret; your basement, or... A little room than you never found a use to it; until now: Turning it into a beatiful place to shut yourself for a few minutes, when be around people became too draining; or, after a very hard day at work/college/street. And... Don't worry about spends a lot of money, in this project: Trowed what can't be used anymore (or sell what you still have in good state) of that place of the house, painted in a soft or neutral color; put one chair and a tiny table to sitted in comfort, hang a beautiful drawing than calm you or a motivational quote where light hit it, buy an tiny ceramic essential oil burner with its tealight candle, put the light candle under the ceramic plate; put 1 or 2 drops of an essential oil for Spirituality over the ceramic plate oil burner (Frankincense, Lavander or Sage Oil; for example), and... Enjoy your new space for Meditation/Calm Time/Me Time/Praying!

Making a Homemade Dessert/Sweet, to eat it slowly: You can make this as offering to The Deities/Spirits/Nature, and/or to have a moment for you! Eating a little piece of your creation without a hurry, and without distrations; remains us of the sacredness of eating and being in the present, by focus only in the sensation of every bite; tasting each spoonful, and feeling the softness/hardness/dryness/humidity/warmess/coldness of what are you eating, at that moment. (If you are diabetic/hypertense/allergic... Use recipes for your condition, and be mindful of eating an small portion; and leaving the rest to eat the next day, or share it!)

Takes a time for yourself to only drawns, dances; sings, writes poetry or an story; which makes you feel relax: When you creates with your hands, or moves your body and/or voice; you are connecting with your own spirit, and with the creative forces of The Universe; plus, with The Deities of The Arts and Inspiration (which they needs than we are in a calm and quiet state, so we can recieve their energies/inspiration more easily; and we can create with less difficult); 'cause we can't recieves the messages when we are stressed/restless. (So now you know, what you can make the next time you need to find inspiration/creativity: Do something fun without thinking, at home... And you will recieves a visit, from The Muses!)

Meditate about what area/s in your life are out of balance; and what you can do to improve it/them: Takes this time to sit quietly for a least five minutes without any distrations, and thinks in what important part of your life; you are dedicating too much or too little time: You are spending to much time in Spirituality?!... Time to spend more time with your family or friends, to avoid fall into isolation or fanatism. Your Emprendurism is receiving little attention from you, lately?!... Takes 20 minutes or more of your day, to see how you can improve it; or see if you should change to another kind of Emprendurism or Business than will be more easy for you to manage and invert money in it. Your SO, is demanding you more time and you are not feeling lately the desire to pass more time with him/her/them?!... Maybe is time to think if that relation have a future, and what you can do to improve it; or end it in the less painful way possible. When all our areas (Health/Wellbeing/Social Life/Alone Time/Wealth/Spirituality), are mostly well... We can feel at peace with our lifes! AND, at last...

At the moment the sunlight, dies out... Take it to talk to your Deities, or reveal in their presence/energy: Twilight... Is a very misterious time, when The Human World and The Spiritual World, suddenly get connected; and many weird phenomenons, happen with ease. (I know that for my own experiences, when The Gods and Goddesses have appeared in front of me in that moment of the day; suddenly and mostly in front of me) So, if you need to ask them for something very important; talks them of something than worries you, or; thanks them, but you misses the magical moment of the early morning, after waking up; and you can't wait to bedtime then, keep calm; and... Wait for Twilight!

That's all for today: Happy Belated Mabon Greetings! And, balances The Darkness and Light in you... So Be It!

"Would you care if people had sex at one of your places of worship, Melo? Since Heaven is usually seen as being full of prudes, what do you have to say to that, as their God of Divinity?"

"I don't really have any places of worship these days, but I suppose I wouldn't have really cared, as long as they didn't make a mess of things. If it were one of my followers or disciples, that is. Even a friend or something."

"Someone random? I think I would be amused, but if it went on for too long, it would get old. Sort of a similar feeling to when you stay somewhere, and the couple in the next room is having sex while you're trying to sleep or something. I'd probably think something along the lines of 'hurry up and get on with it, or go home if you want to make a night of it', you know? And if they didn't leave, then I would mess with them until they left. If they get to have their fun, then I get to have mine; it's only fair."

"I do think I see the appeal though. Like having sex with the follower of another deity; sorry, but tonight I'll have them praising my name. They'll be worshipping me, not you."

"As always, you have impeccable taste. Same sort of mood as when you're fucking a ruler or something like that."

"Oh, I know exactly what you mean!"
