hiii !! i personally think that it could be Hekate or Persephone. if it's not one of them, i'd say it's for sure a cthonic deity!!

the devil is a card that frequently appear on readings to talk about things that make us stop on the time and sometimes don't let us be ourselves, like vices and controlling people, for exemple. one of Hekate's epithets is Meisoponeros, " hater of vices " and she's a deity that frequently is there to help people to free themselves of the type of things this card talks about. Lady Persephone in the myths chose eat the pomegranate and become the Queen of the Underworld. but she also established the rules that say she would spend half of the year in the Underworld and and the other year with her family, some people relate it to the archetype of the devil ! both of them have the epithet Brimo, " the terrible, the destructive " that kinda reflects the first impression this cards makes in everyone. also both were demonized after the ascension of the christianism.

the three of cups, first of all, is a card that i associate a lot with Hekate because she frequently show up with this card when i do a reading. also this card is about celebration, and while Persephone was associated with the abundance of the harvesting !! and Hekate was said to be a protector of the families and marginalised people and the deipnon was a monthly holiday that united people in their homes for honour her and other gods like Hestia, Zeus, etc.

i was going to talk about the others but this is too long lmao, if there's some specific you want me to explain i can try !! also now that i finished i started to think it could also be Hades, anyways, i think it's 100% a cthonic deity and i'd recommend do an analysis card by card, notice the colours, the numbers, simple details of the illustration because it can make you notice something you didn't at the start. also please don't take nothing i am saying as the absolute truth because i'm still learning as everyone is ♡

Hii!! Can anyone help with this deity identification spread I did. I'm new to tarot card and I'm having trouble understanding what it means lol!

So the spread was this

Card 1 was a card that represents the deity: XV The Devil

Card 2 was a positive trait of that deity: Three of Cups

Card 3 was a negative trait of that deity: IV The Emperor reversed

Card 4 was domain what the deity rules over: Four of Wands

Card 5 was minor domain what a deity rules over but isn't talked a lot about: IX The Hermit reversed

Card 6 was the deity's mythology: XIII Death reversed

Card 7 was what the deity is associated with: Ten of Cups reversed

Card 8 was what the deity wants to work on with you: Five of Swords

So if anyone can help me thank you so much!!

how i, an hellenic polythiest feel singing this musical

i've been BELTING out the Epic concept album in the car to and from work the past couple of weeks, esp. the bit where Odysseus cries out for Athena at the end of Love in Paradise, and I thought it would be funny if the goddess herself was like WHY is this person in rural NY state calling for me every day at 8:40am and after 5pm

[moonrisebutterfly]

had a marvelous time at the beach yesterday, and collected seashells to Lady Aphrodite and Lady Hecate!! i sadly didn't brought nothing for Lady Artemis but i drew Her as an deer

[moonrisebutterfly]

at my noumenia tarot reading with Hecate yesterday and She got me crying, but in a very good way. i want to keep the details to myself but i'm so glad She see me that way. i'm so so so grateful

[moonrisebutterfly]

today is 4th day of the month AND friday!! will try do something special for Lady Aphrodite ♥︎

[moonrisebutterfly]

LADY HECATE FOR THE ASK GAME !!!

YAAAAY LET'S GO!!

☆ㅤㅤִㅤㅤwhen She usually shows up for me?

ㅤㅤwhen i'm doing / reading about magic, witchcraft or divination. when i feel connected with nature, and specially when i'm facing choices i feel her at my side.

ㅤㅤi also think about Her when i look at the sky. the sunset, the sunrise. at the night, when the stars and the moon are visible. Hecate Astrodia is very present in my life, i pray to her every night before sleep and i also feel this connection with this epithet < 3

☆ㅤㅤִㅤㅤwhat She is like for me?

ㅤㅤShe has always been like a mother to me, and she is actually my soul mother! besides, She feels like a free spirit, the mystery cover Her because She is too much at the same time, She is totally Herself and She doesn't hide it. The light and the dark in one single point. She is so so sweet, and She will accept you with all the ugly parts and show you the path for start to know and learn to live harmonically with those parts. She is a teacher, She is a protector, She is a guide, She is a friend. i love Her so so so much!! i can't even describe in words.

☆ㅤㅤִㅤㅤhow much have i bounded with Her

ㅤㅤa lot!! She is the deity who i am more closer and i pray to Her every night, most of my pratice as a witch is dedicated to Her!! :D

☆ㅤㅤִㅤㅤthe most shocking thing about Her

ㅤㅤwhen i started i was very scared of Her i have to admit, i had absolutly no experience with paganism and i was raised to avoid it. knowing Lady Hecate was knowing a new world. Her energy is strong, but cosy and magnetic. as i always say, she is very sweet!! it was shocking too lmao.

☆ㅤㅤִㅤㅤ the least shocking thing about Her

ㅤㅤShe have this mysterious way and "wise-woman-who-knows-a-lot" at first meet. almost everything about Her was shocking to me at that time so idk

☆ㅤㅤִㅤㅤ my opinion about Her

ㅤㅤLady Hecate represents some of the most important aspects in our world: choices, limits, the limiar. people forget of Her ""good"" side, if She is one side of the coin, she will be the other side too. everyone knows She has domain over the death, but remember She is also the goddess of birth and rebirth! she has lunar aspects, but did you know that she is also related to the sun? always it: midday and midnight. dreams and nightmares. starts, moon and sun. sky, sea and earth. angels and demons. etc!

She is very misunderstood, She is not that dark and evil the pop culture paints Her, She also wasn't in the myths!! anyways i will never be tired of saying how i love Her, how She is so careful with me and so kind. i deeply love you, Mother!!
