Dionysus' childhood.

Behind him are the dead temporary caretakers, and Hermes is about to take him on the next leg of his journey.

To the some that asked for Dionysus :3!

[lokean-mischief]

I keep thinking about little Dionysus being raised with satyrs in the woods and having no idea he's any different from them.

Asclepius and his father.

PLEASE DO NOT USE TIKTOK AS A RESOURCE FOR HELLENIC POLYTHEISM

Tiktok is probably one of THE WORST places to learn about REAL hellenic polytheism because it is rampant with misinformation and most creators are only interested in views and parroting misinformation THEY heard. Yes there are some great and informative creators on there to learn about the hellenic gods but they are far and few in-between.

INSTEAD if you're new to the religion and have no clue where to start researching/learning, here are a few phenomenal creators on here with wonderful and informative posts!

@wisdom-devotee has an amazing guide for starting out in hellenic polytheism

@seasaltdevotion also recently made a fantastic post on resources for starting out

@crazycatsiren has a SUPER long list of resources and research material

@khaire-traveler has possibly the greatest list on subtle deity worship for just about every god

Please actually learn from those of us that truly love and covet this religion and spread information that will truly benefit you.

I've always thought that this art of him is so beautiful

This reminds me, once on May Day (2021 I think)Loki took me to Helheim lmao. Exact opposite day of the year to Halloween, when it should be hardest to connect with death/Underworld. Of course my trickster thinks it's funny to be a contrarian 🤎

A Blessed Samhain to all. I hope we see spooks and wonders as the veil is thin. Stay spooky y'all.

Happy Halloween and Blessed Samhain from the Mother of Monsters :>

Contemplating about Loki this morning, especially given the article I just read, and while I knew that Loki is also calculated and cunning and much more organized and intentional than most people assume, I think I'm understanding a bit of why I was drawn to the more familiar chaotic idea of him.

I was raised in a religion that said their God was perfect in all he did, that he was organized and intentional, that he sometimes did things to the benefit of his followers that didn't seem to make sense, that maybe even caused temporary hurt for the sake of long term betterment.

Now, I'm not claiming that Loki is perfect, but even in the short time that I have known him, I have learned that he will cause some discomfort for the sake of growth. Even in his myths I can see the little red strings that would connect this aspect of his character to the more well known aspects of him, but when I first stepped away from the church, I wasn't ready for that.

I needed to be reminded that faith and religion was meant to be a thing I enjoyed, a thing to bring me comfort and peace and joy, not just a set of rules and anxiety. And that's what I learned when I first was getting to know Loki. I was a bit like a feral cat at first. I wanted shelter, but I was also Intimidated by it and Loki met me where I was in that.

That's something I will forever be grateful for. I needed to have the conversation of "you need to chill. It's a lot harder to get things wrong than you think" before I could have the "do you trust me" conversation. There's something so beautiful about the changability of his nature and his willingness to adapt to meet me where I am. Especially when that seemed to be a place of contradiction in the particular flavor of Christianity I was raised in.

Loki doesn't shy away from apparent contradictions and duality and seems to revel in it. And it's really refreshing to experience.

I've been wanting to do my interpretation of Loki for a WHILE. And by a while, I mean years. So, here he is. Hope ya like him :)

Turns out one of Dionysus Maenads is named Acme!

Dionysus is definitely the peak hedonistic god. Seems like he probably wants to work with you lol.

I need to eat my next charcuterie plate while lying down and pretending I'm an acolyte of a hedonistic god. I think it would fix me
