Aphrodite who cries for the people who hurt themselves because self love is love too

Artemis who doesn’t hunt animals anymore (humans do it enough) She now walks in clubs looking to hunt the real animal

Athena who donates hundreds of books to local libraries and schools

Apollo who watches all street musicians hoping their talents can get them a little money (He gives more than a little)

Dionysus who watches over everyone’s drinks at the bar making sure they stay safe

Zeus who makes it rain for the couples that just want to frolic and dance and kiss in the rain

Hera who donates to woman’s and SA survivors shelters

Ares who is at the forefront of every protest because those are battles too

Hestia who holds and keeps thousands of secrets so the ones who whispered them into flame don’t have to

Hades who let’s families get one last goodbye to a loved one before they die

Persephone who personally makes sure that the ones taken too early feel safe and secure in the Underworld

Demeter who gives Her best crops to food banks and homeless shelters

Hecate who is a street magician and does actual magical for the kids

Poseidon who finds the best seashells and leaves them on the beach for someone to find and treasure

the Gods aren’t gone they ARE the little things in life

i've always had an issue where i've desperately wanted to connect with artemis but i just never have been able to do it. i just realised why.

anyway this is your reminder that artemis is more than just deer and bears and boars and wolves and forests and aesthetics. she can be the desert. she can be the swamps. she can be the wetlands. she can be the bush. she can be the barren places where only mice and insects roam. she can be the extinct, endangered and living elements of nature. she can be the rotting carcass and the sick and the injured parts of nature. and lastly, she is the wasps you love to preach like they don't benefit nature. and the mosquitoes.

she is nature. all of it.

i think "it takes a village" shouldn't be just "to raise a child". we should understand it takes a village to do literally everything we do. all day every day. without our communities we would not have drinking water or electricity or clean streets or food or shelter or anything. we cannot do any thing alone. we just can't. and with that comes the fact that you are not alone. you already have a community, seek to be an active part of it, you will feel better. reach out and thank them, they're happy to have you too. i promise. it takes a village to live.

I would never dismiss the importance of sacrifice and working for others but you have to remember it's not necessarily ungodly to want to be happy, and you have the right to try to work towards that too.

Aphrodite and Ares. This is just a sweet, tender (spicy) moment. Nothing bad is about to happen. Ignore the net above you.

[sorceryundone]

Some People: Ares and Aphrodite only lust for each other and there isn't any sort of romantic love between them. She should've remained with Hephaestus.

Meanwhile Jean-Marie Vien: Here, have this painting of Aphrodite showing to Ares that her doves made a nest in his helmet.

This is just a quick reminder that this blog is not a safe place for you if you are a terf. Especially if you try and push the fucked up idea that Aphrodite does not love trans women. I am trans myself and won't tolerate my sisters being disrespected by miserable radfems. Ty.

Lady Aphrodite loves everyone. Including trans people.

[sorceryundone]

Lady Aphrodite has an epithet Hera, of course meaning Aphrodite of Hera, referring to marriage.

Queen Hera has an epithet Aphrodite, of course meaning Hera of Aphrodite, referring to love.

These goddesses are so connected, as their domains are so connected.

I just think that’s neat.

Praying is not a way to get what you want. Prayer is the extension of your soul into the world and beyond. To pray is to surrender yourself to the mystery of the divine, and to open yourself to a response you may never have anticipated or wanted. Prayer is an act of humility and acknowledgement that we are part of an infinite cycle centred not on us, but on God. We join with the prayers of those who came before us and those who are yet to come. Our prayers live on even when we have ceased to be. In a way, to pray is to become eternal.

[sorceryundone]

there's something so exciting about wanting to work with pop culture deities that i can't find a single post about. like it's actually so awesome to build my own understanding of them in a religious context from the ground up and then get to share that.

[sorceryundone]
