天9 ：悔改 repent

[acacesius]

O mistress in the saffron dress

Night-walking witch with twin torches

Three-faced queen, elevated by the Thunderer.

Come to my home on this blessed eve,

hearken to my altar and erase all ill.

Bring sweet renewal and let the dark vanish.

I call you, O most holy Hekate!

Hear this prayer and come with

Your soul of fire and warmth.

portuguese:

Ó senhora do vestido de açafrão.

Feiticeira errante noturna com gêmeas tochas,

Rainha de três faces, louvada pelo Tonitruante.

Venha à minha casa nessa véspera bendita,

achegue ao meu altar e afastai os males.

Traga doce recomeço e deixe a treva fenecer.

Invoco-te, Ó santíssima Hécate!

Ouça esta oração e venha com

Tua alma de fogo e calor.

Once again being reminded that the gods are willing to give you so much more than you realize but for free will reasons you gotta ask

[acacesius]

Sharp-minded Hermes,

Guide me through the

Mist of distraction to find

Most lovely luck and peace of mind

i sing, yes — i sing to thee, hades! dark god who sits upon the throne, may my song reach  you and give you relief from the sighs of the  dead. for you gleam & are radiant in splendor even in the heavy shadows of your realm.  o great god in the dark  and hidden places, i ask  for the wisdom of the thousand. may my eyes catch the glitter of blessing, may my hands  always be willing to put forth and hold fast  that which is dear to me. may my heart be  steadfast & beat every second that i am given. let no fear capture my spirit — for only to your  iron-fast hands am i bound. you are unbreakable  & i wish to stand as you do — brow unbent by  the shadows, my feet unshaken by the miserable  blows of others. show me how to take hold of  my path, to trace the workings of the lock, to  move the obstacle that stands in front of me. may i arrive at your court satisfied with the life i’ve made.

What to put in your hellenic journal and why it helps

Building a kharis with gods using a religious journal is really helpful. It helped me keep my information and my thoughts related to the Gods organized. It can also help beginners if they are uncomfortable reciting hymns out loud.

What could be put inside it:

Every day write one delphic maxim and write how you interpret it or what you think about it

Make a shopping list for your altar and offerings

Compose prayers

Hymns/ prayers to your patrons and Hestia, Nyx, Helios, Hypnos

Write something as if you are conversating with the Gods.

Important information on deities

Favorite offerings, incenses, and libations of the Gods

Important Callendar events, festivals, and key info on celebration

Quotes from the most famous books of Gods that you relate to or want to remember

Instructions on composing prayers

What afterlife means in Hellenismos

What defines hubris, agos and miasma

7 pillars of Hellenismos and their meaning

Do some drawings for the Gods as a devotional act

Include your personal experiences with the divine and how it affected you

Write down the signs you saw during the week

You can also decorate it with the images of Gods

Delphic Maxims:

— Frank O'Hara, Lunch Poems; "Naphtha"

A memento mori pendant (circa 1540) found in England paints a vivid picture of mortality. The inscription, however, has a more solacing message: Christ’s resurrection redeems sins.
