The Stele of Aphrodite : an Ancient Greek Love Charm ☆💗☆
Many love spells in the ancient world, particularly in the PGM are that of what are known as fetching charms, or binding spells: love spells targeting specific people. However, there are a number of more generalized love spells, ones with no particular target, such as the Stele of Aphrodite.
The Stele of Aphrodite is Greek Magical Papyri (PGM) spell number IV. 1265-74, and dates back to the late Hellenic period of ancient Greece. It was used primarily for love magic, specifically to invoke the favor and obsession of a desired individual, as well as for favor and success within friendship, popularity and beauty. The stele was believed to harness the power of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, to sway the emotions and actions of whoever sees you in favor of the practitioner.

Ancestral Hall of the Tiger Talisman in Fujian
One of those architectural gems that are scattered throughout the Chinese countryside: the Ancestral Hall of the Tiger Talisman (虎符祖殿) aka Huyan Ancestral Hall (虎岩祖殿) or Hufuyan (虎符岩) in Nanfeng (南豐村), Xinqiao, Fujian.
Built in the Song dynasty and rebuilt in the 16th year of Jiajing in the Ming dynasty (1537), the complex covers an area of about 1800 square meters. This temple is dedicated to the Taoist Leifa deity Zhang Shengjun (張聖君), the Master of Five Thunders. The papers with talismanic inscriptions are stuck under the ceiling.

Gaea... Set... and innumerable others. The Elder Gods proliferated, spreading across the Earth until no corner of the globe was without their kind."

Underground assault – construction of ancient
Pixel art for today based on videogame Ultima Underworld for computer system IBM PC MS DOS. Excellent system with lots of different game. And racing games and role playing games. And games, that are more simple and more complex.
So, here we have some interesting videogame. It is about dungeons. Explore of dungeons. Such genre known as dungeon crawler. And, even more, with view from eyes, first person view. About universe Ultima. So, a lots of interesting in this description, straight at once. Whole adventure in world of dungeons. Character training. Most like these, scenes you can expect with excitement in your imagination. How you will get this or that spell, to grind a new armor, walking in labyrinth. And, you become a high level character with some time. As, I can say, you spent your time with some value! It is not useless, it most best time in life!
And, this is my drawing based on the same theme. Dungeons. How much into this world for a true expert of role playing games. You can dive into them for hours. Exploring one labyrinth after another one. Go deeper and deeper. For most lowest floors. Where something, really something, is going on. Something, that is hard to imagine without fear.
It is with fear to imagine for low level characters. And about a high level character, he is, already, boring, and he needs most lowest floors of labyrinth. So, here it is main, so do self upgrade and all time training and grind. But, certain this things, rpg fans are like most of all. To update a number a little higher for your character. To train intelligence, strength, and other parameters. To get in your hands this super sword, exotic sword or to be ready to use certain this spell. Something that interesting spell, very interesting. Wall out of plants, Meteor strike, Poison cloud, ice storm. How much of interesting you can learn! To take in your hand a crystal sword, fire long sword +1, or rapier of rain +2, or kris +2 poison cloud. What useful items are laying in the dungeons!
At the island, in the ocean of storms, there is a big construction, abandoned. Nobody knows who made this. It is 100 floors. And they are going deeper. These were abandoned after some ancients, nobody see them for a centuries. And there are most amazing places into this labyrinth. Floors of ice, floors with lava and volcano eruption. And who knows what is it at the last floors. Some speaks, a way to another worlds.
Alternative title – storm underground

The Ars Goetia didn't originate from "King Solomon" as it claims.
If it did, it wouldn't be heavily influenced by fucking Greek magic, since Solomon supposedly lived thousands of years before that period.
Medieval monks, who really wrote the Ars Goetia, had a very well documented habit of assigning parentage of magical texts to apocryphal figures like Solomon to make them seem cooler or more powerful. Particularly to christian adjacent figures, since otherwise these books would be considered hersey.
Even the word Goetia itself derives from the Greek Goêteia, meaning sorcery, specifically sorcery utilizing chthonic powers, or the Underworld: Gods, Daemons, and the Dead.
Goêteia comes from the proto Indo-European word goos, meaning to mourn, cry, or to wail; it comes from ancient funeral laments and mourning practices.
Also, Solomon likely never existed, hate to burst your bubble, but there has been zero archeological evidence found to support his, or his "father" king David's existence. Unlike other real kings of roughly the same periods, like King Nebuchadnezzar II.
Even the fact that the magic circles within the Ars Goetia utilize the same coiled serpents and five-pointed stars that Greek goêteia uses, stemming from EGYPT and Egyptian practice, not some psudeo-biblical figure like Solomon.
But wait, there's more
Even the use of demons isn't Solomonic, nor is it Jewish or christian.
It's also fucking Greek.
The word demon itself derives from the Greek daemon, meaning earthly divinity (rather than heavenly/ouranic) or a messenger of the Gods.
It was taken and absorbed into early christian theology like many other concepts such as Tartarus due to early christianity rising in the same region.
Particularly the use of daemons in magic through evocation, or even invocation (calling them within yourself to become possessed, a hallmark of Daemonism and the Engastraitai) through ritual incantations of voces magicae and nomina barbara.
All of it is fucking Greek, no Solomon to be found.
I'll add a step further: even the use of Jewish aspects of magic within the Ars Goetia stems from Greek goêteia, as Greek goêteia was a syncretism of Greek, Jewish, Egyptian, and Mesopotamian magical and spiritual practices.
Fuck, just take a look at the Greek Magical Papyri sonetime if you don't believe it.
Hell, even take a look at the Coptic Magical Papyri, which was a syncretism of early christianity and what we would call "ancient Egyptian" religion and Magical practices:
See the similarities?
Solomon my ass.

How Taoist Charms Work: Conceptual Basis Of Talisman Making
How and why do talismans work? Inscriptions are symbolic embodiments of archetypal forces, representatives of invoked deities, or references to sacred entities (for example, Taoist mountains, constellations, etc.). The Word is supposed to collect and project their power. The signs of the talismanic inscription are organized as a scheme of its deployment. The methods of launching or wearing the…

Quote
It is said that, amongst the Rhoynar who came to Dorne with Nymeria, eight of every ten were women ... but a quarter of those were warriors, in the Rhoynish tradition, and even those who did not fight had been hardened during their travels and travails. As well, thousands who had been boys when fleeing the Rhoyne had grown into manhood and taken up the spear during their years of wandering. By joining with the newcomers, the Martells increased the size of their host by tenfold. When Mors Martell took Nymeria to wife, hundreds of his knights, squires, and lords bannermen also wed Rhoynish women, and many of those who were already wed took them for their paramours. Thus were the two peoples united by blood. These unions enriched and strengthened House Martell and its Dornish allies. The Rhoynar brought considerable wealth with them; their artisans, metalworkers, and stonemasons brought skills far in advance of those achieved by their Westerosi counterparts, and their armorers were soon producing swords and spears and suits of scale and plate no Westerosi smith could hope to match. Even more crucially, it is said the Rhoynish water witches knew secret spells that made dry streams flow again and deserts bloom. To celebrate these unions, and make certain her people could not again retreat to the sea, Nymeria burned the Rhoynish ships. “Our wanderings are at an end,” she declared. “We have found a new home, and here we shall live and die.”

Lions Gate
Hi.It's a short one,a poem,more as song i conceived and i wrote with intuition.
The story begins in the city of Galaxidi(Γαλαξειδι),near Delphi,in modern Greece:
A kind,positive and smart Greek young man,Zephyros Adamantiou,crosses a gate of sculpted lions,so he arrives to a parallel world. There he encounters a mysterious,strong and formidable girl,called "Elysia". Despite her first aloofness and reluctance for any cooperation they team up to save her world,unravel what subtle things connect them. In fact Zephyros begins to suspect that "Elysia" has her ancestry in ancient Greece.
Leave good comments. if you're about to reblog it give the creator credits:
I'm seeking the answers, about the weird artifacts of our family.
Now,since the moment I walked through the Gate of Lions I arrived to a strange and wondrous land.Very soon ,due to a misuderstanding,I got into a peril.Suddenly someone saved me:The Mysterious Girl.I can tell she's a caring one.
Mystery girl ,what is happening? Who are you? Why are you wearing such a scary mask,hiding all of your face?However I keep coming to see you.
✨Mystery Girl,under your guidance I am learning how to awake my power and how to use it.You're teaching me how to fight,how to navigate wisely.It's so nice that the Mystery Girl smiled to me.
⚔️We’ll use weapons up against the evil regime.
Sword,lance,shield,calibre and arrows. And the spellcasting too.⚔️✨
We belong to each other, during this Adventure.
As we're walking through these fields,as we’re entering the haunted,old castle we're sensing their angry,belligerent glares on us.But we’re not afraid to!
We’re coming through ancient ruins seeking for answers.
Not all the creatures around are evil,there are benevolent as well :There are the elves,the demihumen and the lionmen too.The latter ones will gladly tell me what and how happened.
🎭✨Oh great girl,you revealed to me your pretty face,you smiled to me. You shared to me your story, because you have faith on me.And me to you 😄
We have faith to each other.And we’ll make it to find the truth and beat the evil forces.🎭✨
