Ode to Aidoneus (Hades)

Oh, sweet God of the dead, protect my soul

Your darkness consumes all and keeps us whole

Aidoneus, giver of wealth, the one unseen

Keeper of the departed, our endings foreseen

Rolling waves, leading to your tender embrace

Oh, the fear of your presence is misplaced

A respectable, fatherly being

Your watchful eye and doting, oh-so-freeing

Your eternal black, revered by the moon and stars alike

The realm of Hades’ where there is only night

Lost souls, wallow and pray

You are the light to lead our way

The lingering smoke of a candle wick burnt

You, to which our spirits will return

May their trepidation turn to serenity

As they learn, you are not our enemy

Mortal life is far too brief

Though I know you’ll bring comfort to our grief

Your Kingdom, mysterious and homely

How I know your arms will hold me

Oh, praise be to Hades and His arcane caress

There will be a day I must feel the kiss of death

And in His domain, there will be no rain

For I will know I am loved

more updates to my alter, i found beautiful perfume bottles for persephone and hygeia, and a candle in a dark red wine like glass for hades :)

edit: almost forgot the really cool dish I got for Hygeia, I’ll have to do a little in-depth tour of all my items

Refreshed my money bowl ✨

This was my first time refreshing it in months. I did it a little differently this time and made some small offerings to Lord Hades and called him forth well doing the spell.

From November 2019

[thepringlesofblood]

if I had a nickel for every time brennan made up a religious term that sounds completely real and and has all the latin roots and everything but then i find out it's not by googling it and only dimension 20 stuff coming up i'd have two nickels

which isn't a lot but it's bonkers how he keeps hitting it out the park with fucking etymological worldbuilding

Hypnos and Thanatos by Christian Gottfried Jüchtzer in Hallwyl Museum.

Hypnos on the left and Thanatos on the right, leaning against each other, looking down at an altar standing between them. Thanatos with an image of Persephone slanted behind his left leg and a torch in his hand.

Hades AU ✨

[persephoneist]

Do you like Persephone? Please read if you do!

Hi! I'm Meli, and I'm a classics student who is writing a paper on Persephone and modern reception of her myth. In doing so, I'd like to gather information from as many people as possible to get a well-rounded view of how she is perceived by people interested in her! This includes Hellenic polytheists, academics, fans of Greek myth in general, or fans of modern retellings like Lore Olympus, Hadestown, Punderworld, etc.

Thank you if you do participate! Reblogs are appreciated!

In the name of hades, tsoa and epic the musical amen 🙏

Hades, to me, is the feeling of warmth in the solitude of nature. The sounds of crickets and distant foliage rustling. A subtle indication you're not alone. The luminescent glow of fire that lights the deep blue void with heated orange, warming the cool, smooth surface of your skin. A soft, gentle breeze caressing your face and hugging your soul. The reminder that, although lonely, things will be alright. And one day, you'll be home to him. The reminder of ashes to ashes and dust to dust.

He's so fatherly and loving.. <3
