DISCOUNT COMMISSIONS - help me get food and pay bills!

Normally one piece is $80 but I need money to afford food. I’m out of the negatives but I only have roughly $1 in my account thanks to bills. I need money for food!

Discount price - $40 - get two for $80 (getting two for the price of one!)

May I be with you, you gods; May you be with me, you gods; May you live with me, you gods.

I love you, you gods; May you love me, you gods.

"Cave canem" - beware of the dog! In ancient Rome, mosaics like this were used inside homes to warn visitors of vicious dogs within. This one guards the house of Paquius Proculus in Pompeii.

First time doing a reading at my altar in months, and it felt right. I was not expecting four Netjeru to come forward, but They are so fitting and welcoming. Just as the Wandering Eye is brought back every year, so too am I returning to my Home by Their side.

HOMERIC HYMNS TO APOLLO

How, then, shall I sing of you who in all ways are a worthy theme of song? For everywhere, O Phoebus, the whole range of song is fallen to you, both over the mainland that rears heifers and over the isles. All mountain-peaks and high headlands of lofty hills and rivers flowing out to the deep and beaches sloping seawards and havens of the sea are your delight. Shall I sing how at the first Leto bare you to be the joy of men, as she rested against Mount Cynthus in that rocky isle, in sea-girt Delos -- while on either hand a dark wave rolled on landwards driven by shrill winds -- whence arising you rule over all mortal men?

devotional moodboard for Hestia, goddess of the hearth

In thee the Gods have fixed their dwelling place; strong, stable basis of the mortal race. Eternal, much formed, ever florid queen, laughing and blessed, and of lovely mien.
