#hypnos poem

[to-hypnos-we-dream]

Have you ever looked at a God?

In your dreams turn to face Hypnos, God of Sleep Lord of Flowers and Father of Dreams

Have you ever gazed at a God?

His face beautiful with the softness of feathers and his eyes pale blue like gentle delphinium.

Has a God ever gazed back at you?

Love overcome, for You are as precious as the God to you. A God loves you and is devoted as you are His devotee. Hypnos ever so gentle, tending to your dreams as you do His altar.

To Love Hypnos

To be

Loved

by Hypnos

HERMITCRAFT CATCHPHRASES

Hi, here's a (hopefully comprehensive) reference list of hermit catchphrases! The main goal here is to help writers and artists who (like me) might struggle with getting the characterization of some hermits right. Check out more info at the end of the post!

Note: this list updates a lot whenever I get new suggestions, which means reblogs aren't always fully accurate. I've linked this post to the top of my blog so it's easy to access the most recent version :)

More Info

So I'm currently writing a HC fic and realized how little I know about some of the hermits (I unfortunately don't have time to watch all of them), which made it really difficult to depict them properly in my writing. I'm assuming at least some of you might also struggle with this, so, here we are!

If you know of a catchphrase from any hermit from any season, comment, reblog, send me a an ask or dm, dm me on discord, whatever works the best :D

Note: when I say "catchphrase," I mean anything a hermit repeats over an extended period of time. It can be something said during a single season (like "You'll speak when spoken to!" or "Hermit Challenges!"), or something that spans their entire careers (like "Aww snappers!" or "Plonker"). I'm not looking for one-off quotes that are never bought up again — there's some great sources (like @hermitcraft-correct-quotes) for that already :)

Sources (which will hopefully expand with time): This reddit post from four years ago This other reddit post also from four years ago Reddit from three years ago This cute diagram A more up to date source Another Xisuma's dictionary on his website HC character tv tropes page This incredible google doc

[to-hypnos-we-dream]

As my eyelids grow heavy, and I begin to yawn

I smile as I know Hypnos is embracing me

His love and His affection

such soothing comfort

enough to put me to rest

in His loving arms

[mars-and-the-theoi]

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

💀Thanatos💀

- listen to a devotional playlist for Him

- listens to ‘dark ambient’ soundscapes

- learn about butterflies

- if able, visit a cemetery

- learn about the work that death doulas, hospice workers, funeral directors, morticians, cemetery caretakers, and grief counselors do

- if able tend to the grave of a loved one (tidy it up, bring new flowers/decorations, etc.)

- talk to deceased loved ones (doesn’t have to be anything fancy- I talk to my dead dog all the time I say good morning to him and when we leave I tell him we’ll be back etc. whatever you wanna tell them you tell them!)

- learn the stages of grief and how complex grief is

- if interested and able (I know this can be touchy) learn about the process of dying and what happens to the body after death

- learn about what you can have done to your body after death- there’s lots of interesting options out there! Burial at sea is still very much a thing that can be done, I didn’t know that until I got curious and looked this stuff up!

- if able and willing talk to your loved ones about what your wishes are for when you die- what do you want to happen to your body, what do you want your funeral to be like, etc. (I include this because I used to work in assisted living and nothing is worse than your family just not knowing what your wishes are for when you die, I’ve heard too many horror stories)

- learn about death magic and spirit work

- learn about the Victorian era spirituality craze (like the uptick in things like seances and all that, it’s all very interesting)

- learn about the many ways to communicate with the dead

- destigmatize death- death has become a very hush-hush subject which doesn’t really do us any favors in my opinion so don’t be afraid to talk about it, talk about your wishes, etc.

- learn about funerary practices throughout history and around the world

- learn about the meaning of death throughout history and around the world

- listen to songs about death

- read poems, books, plays about death- there’s a lot of them and they’re quite interesting

- watch movies/shows about death (my personal favorite is the seventh seal)

- if able and willing reflect on your own thoughts and feelings on death (can be death in general, about your own mortality, etc.)

- look up cemetery symbols and symbolism! And whenever able do a cemetery scavenger hunt

- wear black

- learn about how to help someone who is grieving

- listen to goth music

- be kind to spirits

- learn about haunted locations

- read ghost stories (idk if this counts but my personal favorite is The Legend of Sleepy Hollow)

💤Hypnos💤

- listen to a devotional playlist for Him

- listen to calming soundscapes

- learn about symbolism in dreams

- learn about the stages of sleep

- if able establish and practice good sleep hygiene

- learn about good sleep hygiene

- if able make your bedroom into a cozy safe space

- learn about herbs and plants with calming and/or sleep inducing properties

- if able donate some bedding you don’t use anymore (even animal shelters will take some! Bedding is always in high demand in all sorts of places so if you’re needing to unload some this is the chance to do it!)

- learn about our sleep cycles and the circadian rhythm

- if you have young family members (kids, little siblings) tuck them in and/or read them a bedtime story

- if able slow down and rest

Hi,

I looked through your post history after reading through a few about how to protect yourself with hypnokink. I've only just dipped my toes into it with a "beginner trance" last night over discord text. It was surprisingly effective considering I thought myself hard to hypnotize.

I could really use your help letting me know if these commands are lines are part of the kink and hypnosis, or if they're red flags. If they're red flags I don't know that I have enough interests in doing deeper research. Ultimately I'm looking to know if this is a safe person I can explore this potential kink with, or if they will only be harmful for me. 

[my responses and some small blocks in between have been omitted]

Here are the phrases:

Every time I tell you the words SLEEP NOW in all caps, you can easily and effortlessly fall back down into this deep state of relaxation Is that understood?And every time I give you a command within [these brackets] you will feel compelled to obey it Knowing that obeying me gives you the deepest feeling of pleasure in the entire world Obeying me gives you a sense of belonging Obeying me makes you happy Obeying me makes you horny And M ~ I want you to remember this. Your new mantra Pleasure is obedience, and obedience is pleasure [Say those exact words, now] Wonderful, M —- I’ll tell you exactly what that means Every time you obey me, you feel pleasur And every time you feel pleasure, you become more and more obedient It’s an endless cycle And now I have you caught in it.

Thank you if not for an answer than at least for the countless posts of education you've already given me.

Thank you! I appreciate receiving this as an ask, and I appreciate the obvious care that went into crafting the question.

I’ll answer at length.

Hot take party

There’s a specific Neural Nets and Pretty Patterns take on hypnosis.

Hypnosis is art. It’s poetry. Sometimes it’s recited, but good recitation changes with each iteration. We make it our own.

That’s how oral poetry worked. That’s also how inductions work. People told stories and those stories had effects on the audience. It’s a slutty Iliad.

For the most part, I write, produce, and voice special poetry about how much I enjoy railing sluts. I’m passionate about it because I really enjoy sluts.

What hypno ain’t, though, is science.

It’s not a technology. Erotic brainwashing and sexual trance doesn’t have a predictable formula. It’s not a pill.

This answer disappoints grifters. The market for love potions is a lot bigger than the market for love poems.

How’s this rant relate to the question?

In a few ways. I’ll reword your ask as questions I can answer better.

Someone sent you a script, essentially.

“Is this a good script?”

I don’t think it’s great.

No specific connection to you, no connection to kink, just a recitation. It doesn’t do it for me. Once we accept that this is art not science though, it’s fine that we might have different tastes!

I also think it’s scientistic. Those brackets read like a programming fantasy. I have those, but best to admit it. Good kink runs on honesty.

I do some special notation on this blog. You can see it. In large part, I do that to evoke an emotion and because it looks fucking cool. I’m not command line hacking your brain. If I could do that, I’d be running governments, not a blog and a modest Patreon.

“Is this a dangerous hypnotic script?”

Not really.

I think it’s a bit dull. It’s unrealistic. I don’t think you’re going to suddenly [obey text in brackets] and OBEY ALL CAPS.

That might be an interpersonal red flag. Someone who sends a canned script isn’t a psychic supervillain. They might be insensitive and uncaring, though.

Most “hypno dangers” are really interpersonal dangers. You aren’t looking for evil wizards. The dude who sends 15 spirals and yells something about Bambi Sleep isn’t some sly mastermind with a knowing smile. He’s just an annoying looser. Is he going to yell DROP 4 COCK and make you suck a dick in the Kroger’s? No, that’s not real. Might he waste a lot of your time and lie a lot? Yeah.

So the red flag, really, is that people who lie about hypnosis to sound cool and impressive probably lie in relationships and that’s a bad sign. Does your person there fit the bill? Idk, hard to say without more context. You have the answer but I at least have a better question.

Is this person full of shit?

If so, run! If not, negotiate limits and boundaries with good and honest communication.

I’m here for any follow up questions!

poppies

In Flanders Fields the poppies grow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

In Flanders Fields by John McCrae

I have always found the excerpt above, and the rest of the poem that comes after it to be pleasant to the ear, sweetly melancholic and, to be honest, more than a little creepy once you hit the threat at the end. The mental image of mostly desiccated World War I soldiers clawing their way out of the upturned soil, spilling flecks of half rotted uniform and red flowers from their bodies as they drag themselves forward after me just because I don't feel like holding a grudge against another country for a war nobody really should have been in in the first place isn't exactly what I suspect Lt. Col. McCrae was going for but its sure the picture he painted in my mind. Not cool, John. Not cool.

In other news, the poem did help make the poppy a popular symbol for war veterans that died in battle, especially overseas. These days red paper poppies are worn in jacket lapels and sold on street corners in multiple Western countries during Remembrance Day, Anzac Day and Memorial Day. Today that's pretty much the only association most of us have with the flowers but for the soldiers that lived during that time, the red corn poppies were a familiar sight, being some of the first and hardiest plants to grow in the churned up soil around trenches, the morass of no-mans-land between and yes, the freshly dug graves that grew almost as quickly as the poppies themselves across the battlefields.

Poppies were associated with the dead long before WWI however.

Hey, August babies! Let's talk about one of your birth month flowers (and keeping corpses in their graves)!

Did you know that poppies have been found in graves and carved on tombstones all the way back to Roman times? The Greeks and the Romans associated the poppy with forgetfulness and sleep. Giving the dead poppies was supposed to help them sleep in peace, though I did see one article speculating that the poppy seeds found in some graves was more akin to the old legend that the undead have obsessive-compulsive disorder and will be compelled to stop whatever they are doing to count scattered small items like seeds.

Who knew Sesame Street was so in touch with its darker side?

Back to the point, the Greek gods Hypnos (sleep), Thanatos (death), Nyx (night) and Morpheus (dreams) all have poppies as their flowers. Pappa means 'milk' in latin and the milky sap as well as the seeds of poppies have been used since ancient times to grant forgetfulness, peace and sleep, tracing as far back as the early Egyptian empires. Multiple opioids are made from the poppy with some of the most famous being opium, heroin, codeine and morphine, named after Morpheus for its dreamlike effect on the human brain and body. The opioid crisis has been with us since at least Victorian times and for many of the same modern reasons back then as well.

Speaking of escape from pain, Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, is associated with poppies as well. It was said that after Persephone was kidnapped by Hades, Demeter was so distraught that the gods gave her poppy seeds to help her sleep and escape her grief for a time. Afterward, the flower would spring up wherever her footsteps fell. The ancient Assyrians also associated poppies with agriculture and in fact, even today, poppies seen growing in cornfields are considered lucky and a sign of a good harvest to come.

Poppies in China are also considered lucky, or at least the smell of them is and they are a melancholic symbol between lovers too. The story I read claims that the poppies growing on his lover's grave gave a Chinese hero the inspiration he needed in battle.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz employed a poppy field to put its heroes to sleep.

Poppies should only ever be given in bouquet of thirteen. Any other number of poppies is considered unlucky.

Greek athletes would mix poppy seeds, wine and honey for an invigoration drink.

In Wales, sleeping with poppy seeds under your pillow will show you the face of your future lover or give you the answer to whatever question you were thinking of when you fell asleep. The seeds are a ward against forgetfulness.

[lostinvasileios]

Hello to all ⭒

My name is Vasileios, but some nicknames of mine are: Vasil, Elios, Silo, & Vrincey.

I am a transgender male, I go by he/him &/or them/they, and I am underneath the AroAce umbrella.

I dabble in writing devotional poetry for my deities every once in a while, I believe poetry is one of the very scarce yet beautiful ways I can show my love to my deities, and love itself, is a poem in my eyes.

I practice witchcraft and believe religiously in pantheism + polytheism. I work with ranging pantheons, including angelics and infernals.

My craft is a potion mixture of many things, and I mainly enjoy to simply go with whatever makes me feel the happiest and safest within. To put some sort of label on it, you could consider me eclectic and someone who works with chaos magic(k).

I am closest to the deities: King Asmodeus, Prince Apollon, Mother Hekate, Highness Aphrodite/Aphroditos, Grand Duke Dionysus, King Yeshua, Lord Hypnos, King Loki, Noblewoman Psyche, Lord Eros, Lord Satanas, King Lucifer, Prince Archangel Micheal, and Madame Pelé. With the honorable mentions of my spirit guide, Xinoth, and my higher self in all of their fluidity and infinite forms.

I occasionally work with archangels Uriel and Chamuel. Gods of the planets Venus, Mars, and the Sun. With some unnamed other entities.

Asks and messages are open for anyone as long as you are respectful, kind, and in general a more-so decent person. I am always looking forward to conversations about spirituality, crafts, or anything in between.

I do not condone any sort of discrimination, this is in no way a safe place for:

Anti-LGBTQIA+

Racist/Xenophobia

Proselytizing

Any sort of pedophilia

Religious discrimination

I do not know every single thing down to its very detail, but I am more than happy to help any beginners or people considering diving into the practices!

Where I got my dividers: @saradika

This page is mainly for E-Offerings to (my) deities, sharing UPG, and hopefully to help someone in need.

[lavenderwaterfall]

Hello and Welcome

About me and my practice

Hello, I'm Emmi! I'm in my early twenties, queer, and would consider myself a Hellenic polytheist. I'm still very new to all of this & learning but I'm excited to be here!

This is pretty much a blog for the beautiful Lady Psyche and Eros as she is who I mainly worship right now.

I am also moving towards working with Artemis as I work with animals for a living but have been a little nervous about doing much with her. Along with thinking about worshipping Hypnos. So there may be some stuff about them until/if I decide to make separate side blogs.

Other things I'm interested in are reading & books (mostly fantasy and romance), musicals and music in general, nature, art, & more

My asks are always open! I would love nothing more than to talk about my deities or any of my other interests.

This is my only blog for right now but that very much might change later on.
