At this point if you keep your cat outdoors you’re willfully risking not only your cat’s health but your own (in the US). Are you so opposed to doing One indoor enrichment for your cat that you’re willing to risk getting bird flu?

I hate when people go "Hades isn't a bad guy!" Yet proceed to describe Ares as a raging berserker who drinks blood like its budweiser and has Athena's face on a dart board. Like, Ares has faced SO MUCH demonization it's on par with Hades

I swear some people cannot comprehend the fact the gods are multifaceted beings with both flaws and virtues

Today marks the beginning of the Anthesteria (Festival of Flowers), an ancient Greek celebration held over three days in honor of Dionysus.

The first day of the festival was known as the Pithoigia, the day on which the first jars (pithoi) of the new wine were opened, and libations were offered to Dionysus. 

The Anthesteria combined religious ceremony, merry-making, an inversion of the social order along the lines of the Roman Saturnalia, and propitiation of the spirits of the dead. In ancient times women, men, and even children (over three years of age) participated. Everyone wore flower crowns, which they would later dedicate to Dionysus at his temple.

Scholars believe that miniature wine jugs, like the chous shown above, were presented to children at age three or four by their parents during the Anthesteria, and that upon this sacred occasion the children would taste their first drops of wine. (This wasn’t as unhealthy as it sounds to modern people, because wine was typically diluted with 3 or more parts water per serving.) It was such an important event in the spiritual life of a child that a miniature chous was often placed in the grave of a child who died before attending their first Anthesteria.

She will turn your life upside down so you can be better. Freyja is not someone to work with if you intend for your life to stay the same. You will feel very out of sorts for some time until what she has planned for you comes to fruition, but she wants you to be the best you can be 💓
