#Witchy Underworld

[kentnaturaltribrid]

“I’m going to write him a very stern letter.”

Couldn’t get a good view of the piece, so here’s as close as it can get to it and as far away as possible to show it in its entirety, mostly. It’s the white one, which for the most part is small enough to be concealed and large enough to reveal itself when needed. It’s complicated, but due to the medium size of it it should be able to suffice and support at least an Enchantment, and at most both. It’s still quite complicated, it’s just that it doesn’t really have a single piece that isn’t exactly a perfect fit for the trigetre , the Triangle of Malwice (Triangle of Magic). It’s still complicated, could only find three on their own, while the other pieces are 3-5 of each roughly. It’s still complicated.

I don’t know what Spotify is trying to tell me but I feel perceived

[lillysilvermoon]

Isn't it interesting? That all of us who are somehow connected with the underworld, or any of it citizen's - love gloomy, cloudy weather?.

We have this melancholy aura, always wondering or dreaming. Most people live to walk in the park when the day is sunny and the sun shines bright in the sky, but I feel most at home when it's raining, when mist cover the horizon and I can't see the trees anymore, when it's could and cloudy is when I want to stay in the garden reading or writing or just thinking; when the weather looks like this is when I feel most at home. There is no sound, just the trees swaying in the breeze, it's so peaceful. And beautiful, there is a very special kind of beauty in days like this.

Hekate

There is so much to say about Hekate so I will keep this short and sweet! Hekate is the Queen of the Witches! She is the Goddess of crossroads, witches, necromancy, moon and is a guardian to the underworld and guide to lost souls.

She is often depicted as a triple Goddess, holding a lantern or triple torch and was honored at crossroads, entry-points into cities and at thresholds to sanctuaries. She is often seen with 3 heads or 3 bodies with 3 heads due to her ability to see past, present and future.

Hekate is the Goddess that resides in liminal space. She can easily traverse through the realms of the underworld and physical world.

When should you work with her? When you see yourself at a crossroads and need help choosing a path. Or when you are truly ready to embrace your power.

Some symbols that represent Hekate are:

Triple moon goddess

Dogs (companionship)

Key to the underworld

Torch

Labyrinth Serpent

Athame

Because she is the Queen of the Witches, Hekate loves to have her own altar space in a witches home. You can add anything representing the above symbols, the colors black and red, a cauldron, broom, stars and moons.

You can also give offerings for her. She prefers lavender, pomegranates, eggs, honey, breads, dishes with garlic and sweets. She loves candle flame and incense!

Prayer to Hekate

“When I doubt,

Show me my strength;

When I am wrong,

Show me the right path.

Light the crossroads before me,

So that I may see my way;

Queen of Transitions,

Guardian of doorways;

Hekate bless my journeys,

Through dark and dawn,

Day and dusk.

Help me to bring to balance

The force within myself

Light and dark;

Above and below.

As a coin cannot only have one side,

I am not whole,

One without the other.”

You’re welcome to share any info I have left out or any prayers or spells!

Lampades are nymphs of the Underworld who bear torches and accompany Hekate on her travels. They also serve as handmaidens to Persephone and Melinoe.

You're all mistaken, mother, can't you see?

I was not taken, mother I chose to leave

Cause I love my baby, tall, dark Hades, lord of death is down on his knees for me

No I wasn't threatened, mother I was not bound

No I wasn't carried, off on his three-headed hound

'Cause I packed my own bag, found my own way, down into the underground

See mama, he may seem gruesome, but he's even got a dog

And don't you know that death is, a very stable job

'Cause I love my baby, tall, dark Hades, lord of death is down on his knees for me

'Cause I danced with his shadows, and he has danced with mine

And the sacred blood we spilled has dried, and I am fine

I'm fine

I'm more than fine

For I am his and he is mine

Overview

About

The first-ever sequel from Supergiant Games builds on the best aspects of the original god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler in an all-new, action-packed, endlessly replayable experience rooted in the Underworld of Greek myth and its deep connections to the dawn of witchcraft.

Key Features

Battle Beyond the Underworld – As the immortal Princess of the Underworld, you’ll explore a bigger, deeper mythic world, vanquishing the forces of the Titan of Time with the full might of Olympus behind you, in a sweeping story that continually unfolds through your every setback and accomplishment.

Master Witchcraft and Dark Society – Infuse your legendary weapons of Night with ancient magick, so that none may stand in your way. Become stronger still with powerful Boons from more than a dozen Olympian gods, from Apollo to Zeus. There are nearly limitless ways to build your abilities.

Reveal the mysteries of the Arcana Altar, tame witchy familiars, and gather reagents using Tools of the Unseen to get closer to your goal.

The Perks of Immortality – Thanks to a variety of permanent upgrades and the return of God Mode, you don’t have to be a god yourself to experience what Hades II has to offer. But if you happen to be one, you can brave escalating challenges for greater rewards, and prove just how divine you really are.

Signature Supergiant Style – Rich, atmospheric presentation and storytelling fused with responsive action is the hallmark of Supergiant’s titles. Vivid new hand-painted environments, even smoother real-time 3D characters, and an electrifying original score make this mythic world burst with life.

Coming to Early Access

Getting player feedback through key phases of development was vital for the original Hades, so we plan to reprise that process once more, once this game is further along.

“You can’t manipulate a master manipulator, darling. I wrote the book.”

Above is four small pieces, one being the red entirely & the others being with a background. Anyway, these four are mainly all year or some of them are Winter. However, the maliochrome ones are pretty much the way to go for a Summer or deep Spring, early Winter. It’s complicated, but there’s a sense of balance with the maliochromes in color & in magic, however the non-malio ones are more intense.

8H or 12H Placements

• 8H: The eighth house governs themes of death, rebirth, and the occult.

*me in phone*

Hades: GET OUT of this damm phone!

Me: *shook get up quickly and sit* is this... is you??.

Hades: YES its me!

Me: ... r u sur- *get HUGE goosebumps* okay. It's you.

Hades: you spend much time with this light on your face and that's why u r not thinking right (context: I've been away too much on my phone and I complained about it but I still working it, and the fact that I use too much it's actually affecting my vision lol). Get up, take your shower, and just BE. Just breath. Just stay present. No information (read), no phone, no stimulation. Just be. (Context: I have anxiety and problems to concentrate and sometimes- a lot more that I wish it was - I do things completely automatic i don't even register that I did lol, and be so long on my phone, on social media has been affecting me very negatively and I know that and He knows that too and that's why he was kind mad)

Me: okay. And I agree, I actually don't want to be in my phone even though that I continue but... can I write.. this? *sad face* please?

Hades: ... yes. But put the phone away.

Me: okay🥰😚😊

Persephone- Queen of the Underworld, Goddess of Spring

Persephone is an Ancient Greek Goddess with a complex duality that positions her both as Maiden of Spring and the Queen of the Underworld. She is paired with Hades, the Ruler of the Underworld.

Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. She emerges from the Underworld at Springtime and leaves the Earth when it is Autumn.

Some symbols that represent Persephone are Pomegranates, torch, springtime flowers, grains, bones, bats and an iron crown.

Persephone loves to be worshipped and have an altar dedicated to her. Somethings you can put out for offerings would be flower crowns, Autumn leaves, bat shaped items, jewelry, fruit cakes, honey, red or white candles, or have a garden dedicated to her.

Persephone teaches that power comes from within even if outside forces try to reach you.

Prayer to Persephone:

“Daughter of Zeus, source of life

Demeter’s only child, Hades honored wife

Come infernal queen, accept my offering

For much honor I give you for you and your King

Half the year under the Earth you dwell

Giving warmth and greenery their death knell

Your return causes the land to bloom in delight

To mortals you are a most welcome site

Return to your husband at harvest end

To hopeful mortals you judge and mend

Holy One, Knowing One, Exactor of Justice

Mother of furies and doomed Zagreus

Play mate of nymphs beloved and bright

Almighty horned of bounteous might

Oh blessed Goddess fill my belly with fruit

My life with good health, my pocket with loot

When it is time to meet you down below

I hope it is to Elysium I go

There to find rest, friends and family

To hail and honor Hades and Persephone.”

Finding the Divine in Darkness: A Poetic Journey

In the realm of shadows, where light struggles to penetrate, there exists a sacred space where the divine finds its dwelling. It is within this paradoxical realm of darkness that the true essence of the divine reveals itself, illuminating the path for those who dare to seek its wisdom.

"In the darkness, the divine resides," echoes a poetic refrain that speaks to the profound truth hidden within the depths of obscurity. It is a reminder that even in the darkest moments of our lives, there exists a flicker of divine light waiting to be discovered.

For it is in the midst of our trials and tribulations, amidst the shadows of doubt and despair, that we often find ourselves drawn closer to the divine. It is during these times of darkness that our spirits are tested, our faith challenged, and our souls forged in the crucible of adversity.

But it is also in these moments of darkness that we discover a reservoir of strength within ourselves—a strength born not of the light, but of the shadows that surround us. It is a strength that enables us to endure, to persevere, and to emerge from the depths of despair, transformed and renewed.

For it is only by embracing the darkness that we can truly appreciate the light. It is only by confronting our fears and confronting our doubts that we can transcend them, emerging stronger and more resilient than before.

So let us not fear the darkness, but instead, let us embrace it as a sacred space where the divine resides. For it is within the shadows that we find the true essence of our being—the spark of divinity that ignites our souls and guides us on our journey through life's darkest nights.

The second generation of Olympians are either closer to Hades or Poseidon in terms of domains (and myths). Let me explain.

Athena: Athena's closer to Poseidon. For all the grudges she seems to have against him, she was raised in his domain. It was in his domain that she found and lost her best friend, Pallas. For every argument they ever had, they fought on the same side in the Trojan War. They also share a number of epithets, mainly about horses. (Hippia, Hippios, etc). She's often like the sea in the myths she appears in, unpredictable and unforgiving. Sometimes, she aids, other times, she destroys those whose hubris gets the better of them.

Ares: Hades. Not just for the obvious "war kills a lot of people" reason, but because out of all of their siblings, Ares and Hades are the most villianized for their domains. Ares is constantly pushed to the side, hated on, revered in fear, the least liked out of his siblings, as is Hades, even though in reality they're pretty chill. (Ares is the ONLY male Olympian who hasn't raped anyone).

Hephaestus: Poseidon. Like Athena, he was raised under the sea by Thetis. He's the god of volcanoes, which are explosive and disruptive, just like the sea can be, but also dormant and peaceful, just like the sea.

Apollo: heres where it gets tricky, because Apollo is chaotic and everywhere all at once. In terms of friendship, he's definitely closer with Poseidon, having been sent down as a mortal in punishment with him. He even refused to fight Poseidon during the Trojan War when everyone else was whooping each other's asses. Apollo's rebellious, just like the sea. But Apollo is also associated with funerals and burials, being the god that protects the souls of the dead until Hermes takes them to the underworld, and also he's noted for causing sudden death, of children mostly. So there's definitely a darker, more Hades-like side to Apollo. In the myths, he's closer to Poseidon. In domains? Hades.

Artemis: Hades. Aside from the fact that she went through an emo phase during her Diana era, and got associated with a bunch of witchy underworld goddesses, most of her myths include murder. Like Apollo, she's credited for sudden deaths. Girl could care less lol.

Hermes: Hades. Hermes is the guide of the dead, enough said. He really has no connection with Poseidon. He's one of the few even allowed in Hades' domain. He's the boundary between life and death. Ancient Greeks put him on their gravestones.

Dionysus: Hades. He's equated with the Egyptian god Osiris (which, okay, crazy). he's also been directly said to be the same god as Hades. He'sa a god associated with rebirths, "twice born". Sometimes, he's a son of Hades. In Orphic myths, he's Zagreus. He's just so chthonic, you can't help but not associate him with Hades.
