30 Days of Deity Devotion

1.A basic introduction of the Deity.

Thanatos is the personification of Blessed Death, the God of Death. His most famous myths are when he was sent to fetch Alkestis to the underworld and was driven off by Herakles in a fight. And the other one (and became my favorite but I'll explain this in other post) is when he was captured by Sisyphos who trapped him a sack to avoid death. In Greek vase painting he was depicted was a winged, bearded old man and, more rarely, as a beard less youth (he showed to me like the a young man, with the black wings, was like the first image that appeared in mediation was his wings).

He is Nyx's son (Hesiod Theogony 212, Homer Iliad).

Unfortunately there isn't much information about him, he wasn't very talked about in Greek Mythology and there is almost none information about him besides this (belive me I've been trying to find >anything< about him but I couldn't, I'll continue to try tho).

I'm participating in the Lunar Tarot (in my language it's Tarot Lunar) and every month is with a new deity, this time she decided would be to connect with out guardian - which I had no clue who it was, I did a card identification and was Thanatos and I was very shocked (never thought about him, I mean, I did but not to work with?) But yeah, definitely him ( why all of a sudden I'm working just with chtonic deities?? I mean, besides Selene everyone is from the underworld lmao).

I'll make a post about how I found it was him (because was actually so cool I couldn't sleep because I was so shocked and excited cs of HOW obvious it was that I lost my alarm)

GHOST. PIPE. SEASON.

[zacharialend]

Non-photosynthetic ghost pipes were everywhere in the woods today. They parasitize mycelial networks to get their sugars.

Some pictures from a recent hike! It's mostly cool tiny mushrooms, but also a parasitic flower (Monotropa uniflora, the white one), some ferns, and a cute little flower called herb robert (Geranium robertianum)
