"I sing of golden-throned Hera whom Rhea bare. Queen of the immortals is she, surpassing all in beauty: she is the sister and the wife of loud-thundering Zeus, —the glorious one whom all the blessed throughout high Olympus revere and honor even as Zeus who delights in thunder."

- Homeric Hymn 12, to Hera

Minor Hymn to Hephaestus / Hino Menor a Hefesto.

Ó hábil e todo-pujante Hefesto, Deus dos dons ilustres e sólidos, É teu o solo pra transformar no magma, E o minério ferroso tornar maravilhas! É tua, Ó Divina Potência, ilustre nume, a parcela material para tornar abrigo, arma ou escudo. Saúdo-te, Hefesto de nobres trabalhos! Favoreça meus próprios feitos e esforços, Etéreos ou firmes, tu és o senhor de todos! Vem propício, Deus da invenção, e aceita esta libação com suave coração!

english:

O skillful and all-powerful Hephaestus, God of illustrious and solid gifts, Yours is the soil to transform into magma, And of the iron ore to make wonders! Yours, O Divine Power, illustrious god, is the material portion to make shelter, weapon or shield. I salute you, Hephaestus of noble works! Benefit my own deeds and efforts, For you are lord of all, ethereal or firm! Come in favour, God of invention, and accept this libation with a gentle heart!

Praise be to Apollo, Lord of sunlight and song;

With holy laurels in his hair and myrrh scented smoke on his breath.

He who touches the air with sweet music and sacred hymn; the all-seeing and the far-shooter;

Heavenly Prince of the Gods.

Hey there. Normalize unconventional divination or worship. Just because it's not in a book or an article does not invalidate what helps you.

Is your relationship with your deity different from other practitioners? Who cares. It's your personal journey. This isn't an organized religion, you have the ability to pace yourself, think outside the box and learn what works for you as an individual.

do u have any thoughts on correspondences for transitioning? i'm trying to plan a spell for my transition journey since i just made an appointment for T, but i've been struggling with the ingredients. <3

I have many thoughts as I am a trans man who used magic for his transition and continues to do so!

This is based on popular correspondences as well as my own so it won't work for everyone but you've asked me for suggestions and I'm giving 'em! :>

Correspondences:

Elements - Fire & Air are seen often as "masculine" signs. Both also correspond with change and renewal. You could use a candle, a feather, or burn the ingredients to ash, grind them up into a fine powder, and disperse them safely into the wind. Water is associated with the moon, who is associated with transitions.

Rocks - Tiger's eye (confidence), Iron (linked to Mars, the MANLY PLANET--no but seriously, Mars is, in a lot of western culture, seen as THE masculine planet) Moonstone (associated with the moon and change) and Labradorite (associated with change)

Planetary - Mars, the Sun, Jupiter, Saturn are considered traditionally masculine. The moon, however, is known to be linked for transitions.

Herbs - The ones I would personally use are cinnamon, oak, yucca, and clove but I found this compilation of masculine herbs from Cunningham's Encyclopedia.

Tarot - Death is one of the most common "transition" cards, as it signifies an end but promises a new beginning. The king of wands is, in my opinion, the "dad" of tarot cards, and embodies a well rounded man. This could be replaced with any king or the emperor, depending on preference. The Wheel of Fortune is also a transition card, I would use it for a smooth transition.

ALSO, I hesitate to add deities to this list due to the fact that I don't want to them to be considered "ingredients", but perhaps their energy would help you or you could petition them:

Artemis - Associated with life phase transitions.

Aphrodite - Associated with transitions and has a form in some mythology with genderqueer representation.

Brigid - Associated with transition due to her relation to the transition of winter to spring.

The Morrigan - Associated with immense change and transformation, also well known to be a shape shifter which could help glamour spells.

Dionysus - Associated with gender fuckery (I feel this, at least).

Odin - Associated with transformation as he has gone through a lot, and many of his own accord, much like us trans folks who seek our transition of our own accord :>

Janus - Associated with new beginnings and transitions.

To further help, my buddy @jasper-pagan-witch sent me some links to spells and such that might help you out:

Masculine Vibes Charm Bag

Transgender Witchery (there is a transmasc section)

Jasper's Queer Tags (some trans posts scattered about)

There are lots of others out there, depending on who you ask, but this is what came to mind for me!

Homeric Hymn to Athena 28

I begin to sing of Pallas Athene, the glorious goddess, bright-eyed, inventive, unbending of heart, pure virgin, saviour of cities, courageous, Tritogeneia.

From his awful head wise Zeus himself bare her arrayed in warlike arms of flashing gold, and awe seized all the gods as they gazed.

But Athena sprang quickly from the immortal head and stood before Zeus who holds the aegis, shaking a sharp spear:

great Olympus began to reel horribly at the might of the bright-eyed goddess, and earth round about cried fearfully, and the sea was moved and tossed with dark waves, while foam burst forth suddenly:

the bright Son of Hyperion stopped his swift-footed horses a long while, until the maiden Pallas Athene had stripped the heavenly armour from her immortal shoulders. And wise Zeus was glad.

And so hail to you, daughter of Zeus who holds the aegis! Now I will remember you and another song as well.

I’ve been listening to “Blood Moon” by Saint Sister a lot this season and it inspired this piece of a spooky Minoan Artemis dancing in the woods.
