Fleet-footed Iris, swift as the storm,

golden-winged goddess, I call out to you.

Daughter of Thaumus, ancient one of the sea,

and bright-lit Elektra of the thunderhead,

sister of the fearsome Harpies, I honor your might.

Iris of the rainbow, many-colored goddess,

handmaid and herald of deep-eyed Hera,

yours is a duty needful and grave;

messenger and courier, you speak with the voice

of all Olympus–the Trojans and the Argonauts

did tremble at your words. Harbinger of hope,

goddess of the new day, I pray to you

Where does it say that Iris sleeps under Hera’s throne to do her job quicker? That’s actually fucking hilarious.

I found this song, "the bog bodies" by rabbitology and i love it to dead and i want to show it to every other pegan.

It doesn't have lyrics on Spotify yet so im not ENTIRELY sure what its about but the lines she has on her tiktok-

"i got hands for building alters, lips to pray to reckless gods, yeah i was made to be a devotee.

His mangroves held me till i died, my bodys relic left behind to fossilize beneath the willow trees"

-make me want to sob

i feel this in my bones

Iris - A cloud and rainbow d20, where the inking was a paid actress and pulled it all together ! Iris is one of my names, it's a flower, it's also the name of the greek goddess of rainbows, messenger of Hera (a feminine pendant to Hermes), and it's the origin of a few rainbowy words like iridescent.

🌈 In Greek mythology, the Goddess of Rainbows, Iris, is known as a messenger for the gods.

She is portrayed as a fast figure who travels on a rainbow bridge between Earth and heaven.

Iris is believed to be the daughter of Thaumas, a Titan, and Electra, an Oceanid.

She is often described as the handmaiden and personal messenger of Hera.

Iris is associated with the sea and sky, as her parents were a marine-god and a cloud-nymph.

The rainbow was commonly seen by coastal Greeks stretching from the clouds to the sea, leading to the belief that Iris replenished rain-clouds with water from the sea.🌈
