Hank, if you had a mythological figure and a guardian would it be?

"Stars and garters, that is quite the question, isn't it? Let's turn it to the floor. Gentlemen?"

"I've always been partial to Thoth myself! An ancient Egyptian deity, he was the god of the Moon, wisdom, knowledge, writing, hieroglyphs, science, magic, art and judgment. The Greeks went even further, and claimed he was the true author of every work of every branch of knowledge, human and divine. I should be so lucky."

"A strong answer, but then, I was quite the ancient Egypt devotee when I was younger. Funny, the things that come in handy when you find you need to decipher hieroglyphics to work out what Apocalypse happens to be cooking up next. Any other candidates?"

"Whiskey Jack!"

"I think you mean Wisakedjak, from Cree and Algonquin folklore?"

"Yeah, sure, that one. A real hepcat - bit of a troublemaker, of course, but unlike some other trickster gods I could mention, he'd often pull his pranks to benefit mankind, rather than to harm them. Something I, as one of Earth's Mightiest, can certainly relate to~"

"He's also known as a shapeshifter."

". . . Yeah, he is. He is."

". . . Moving swiftly on. I personally would like to nominate Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine, from whom we derive the Rod of Asclepius, which you'll still find used as a symbol of medical practice today, though you'll often see it confused for the very similar caduceus. Asclepius, however, has just the single snake."

"Get on with it."

"Fine, fine. As is the usual for Greek deities, he has a great number of children whom represented different aspects of his divine aspect, namely his daughters, the "Asclepiades," Hygieia, Iaso, Aceso, Aegle, and Panacea, the last of which you might recognise as the origin of the word for a general purpose cure or cure all!"

"I . . . would pick . . . I don't know, is there a god of mistakes? Afraid I don't know this one, gents."

"Clementia. The Roman goddess of clemency, leniency, mercy, forgiveness, penance, redemption, absolution, acquittal and salvation."

". . . Yes, I suppose that would be nice."

"Laverna. The Roman goddess of thieves, cheats and the underworld. She had an altar on the Aventine Hill, near the gate named after her, Lavernalis. Her aid was often invoked by thieves to enable them to carry out their plans successfully without forfeiting their reputation for piety and honesty."

"I would mock you for not just picking Satan, but then you would have stolen my pick."

"Well, I think that seems quite comprehensive . . . tell me, what do you think would suit us best?"

The Danger of Neglecting Traditional Medicine and Care

The Danger of Neglecting Traditional Medicine and Care

You are Admired & Respected

“People become successful the minute they decide to” - Harvey Mackay.

“Aspects of truth related to care and of medicine have been removed what has been instigated to the modern times is a dangerous and inferior practice and understanding of medicine and care of the infirm, the result is a disparaging effect which is and has been a detriment to people’s health and care when they are infirm, and what exists does to acknowledge I or serve what I taught and instructed to be undertook in care and medicinal influence for the infirm and the modern medicine systems are inferior to the level of being dangerous to the infirm” – Asclepius ‘God of Medicine’. 

The Titan Society – Cronus ‘Titan Leader, Destroyer’, Hecate ‘Witchcraft, Destroyer’ Circe ‘Sorceress, Destroyer’.

Andrew Rogers – Founder, Creative Director, Writer, Oracle.

The words of Asclepius, the revered 'God of Medicine,' emphasize the dire consequences of removing key aspects of truth related to care and medicine. This dangerous practice has prevailed in modern times, leading to an inferior understanding of medical care for the infirm.

The disparaging effect produced by this approach poses a significant detriment to the health and well-being of those who are sick or ailing. Regrettably, existing medical systems fail to acknowledge or incorporate the wisdom that Asclepius imparted, resulting in a severe deficiency in the provision of proper care and medicinal influence for the infirm.

It is evident that the current state of modern medicine falls far short of the levels required for the well-being of the infirm. In fact, these systems have reached such a level of inferiority that they now pose a dangerous risk to the very individuals they are meant to help. The consequences of this unfortunate situation call for urgent reflection and a renewed commitment to the advancement of medical care based on the wisdom handed down by Asclepius.

Asclepius: The Hero and God of Medicine in Ancient Greek Mythology

In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Asclepius holds a prominent position as the hero and god of medicine. Revered for his healing prowess, Asclepius represents the essence of the medical arts and plays a vital role in ancient Greek culture.

According to the myths, Asclepius is the son of Apollo and a mortal woman named Coronis. Born with exceptional abilities in the field of healing, he became renowned for his miraculous treatments and became the patron deity of medicine. Asclepius' remarkable skills surpassed those of any mortal physician, making him an object of immense admiration and veneration.

Asclepius' significance is further highlighted through his family members, who embody different aspects of health and well-being. His daughters, Hygieia, Iaso, Aceso, Aglæa, and Panacea, represent various facets of the healing process. Hygieia personifies health, cleanliness, and sanitation, while Iaso symbolizes recuperation from illness. Aceso is associated with the healing process, Aglæa represents beauty and splendor, and Panacea is revered as the goddess of universal remedy. Together, they form a divine family unit that encompasses the different aspects of holistic medicine.

In addition to his role as a Greek deity, Asclepius shares connections with gods from other cultures. He is associated with the Roman/Etruscan god Vediovis and the Egyptian deity Imhotep, further highlighting his influence beyond the borders of Greece.

One of the most iconic symbols linked to Asclepius is the rod of Asclepius, which features a snake entwined around a staff. This emblem has persisted throughout history and is still recognized as a symbol of medicine in modern times. It represents the healing arts and the intertwining of knowledge, wisdom, and nature—a timeless reminder of Asclepius' mastery.

Worshipers of Asclepius, known as the Therapeutae of Asclepius, were dedicated to serving the god through the practice of medicine. These physicians and attendants sought to honor Asclepius by providing compassionate care and healing to those in need.

The influence of Asclepius extends beyond his divine status. He not only personifies the healing aspect of medicine but also embodies the hope and solace that accompanies it. Asclepius serves as a reminder to ancient and modern societies alike of the power of medicine to restore health and well-being.

In conclusion, Asclepius holds a pivotal role in Greek mythology as the hero and god of medicine. Through his exceptional healing abilities, he represents the essence of the medical arts and serves as a symbol of hope and healing. With his daughters symbolizing various aspects of well-being and the enduring presence of the rod of Asclepius, his influence extends far beyond ancient Greece, making him a revered figure throughout history.

Thviceit Mythology AU

it’s plot time babes

thomas is human, virgil is a minor god (of anxiety, grief, misery, depression), and dee is a naga who has repressed the first ten years of his life due to trauma and may not actually know how old he is

Dee has been extremely lucky considering that he hasn’t starved to death, still have all his fingers, and haven’t been found by humans, so of course, that luck had to run out sometime (but 20-something years of luck were impressive)

He had been stuck on a construction site after they so nicely felled the tree he was sleeping in before going off to lunch. At least that gave him time to hide, but he was in pain, and he was grieving the trees. They had been very nice trees with good sturdy branches perfect for sleeping on.

 He’s been hiding very effectively in a big mound of dirt - if you ignore the parts where his injuries are surely infected, not to mention worsened by the pressure and the fact that dirt gets pretty cold. At least he didn’t suffocate!

This mix of emotions that Virgil happen to be a god of, coming from a non-human being? It’s like a distress beacon once he’s actually walking past the construction site. He had been on his way home from the store, but he couldn’t just ignore what he was sensing.

Thomas, a somewhat sensible human, had been walking in the same direction as Virgil and decided to intervene when he saw Virgil jump the fence to the construction site. Intervening, in this case, meant doing the exact same thing and following Virgil to tell him how unsafe this was.

So imagine Thomas’ surprise when he sees the purple-haired person he had been following frantically trying to drag a half-naked body out from a mound of dirt! Wait, that’s a snake tail, not a pair of pants. Naked body? Half-person half-snake? What’s going on?

Dee is very much not aware of anything, and had he been human, his best bet had probably been a hospital. The second best bet is Virgil calling up Aceso and/or Asclepius.

The third best bet - and therefore worst option - is naturally the one that happens. Thomas pushes his shock aside long enough to help Virgil get Dee home to his apartment, and then does what he can with a First Aid Kit that Virgil may have used some godly magic to create. (He didn’t just have a First Aid Kit at home because once again, he could have called up his fellow Greek deities, but nope, not letting a human know that much)

Thomas thankfully doesn’t ask too many questions - mainly just how Virgil had known where the stranger was, and what was the correct term for a half-person half-snake, and would a veterinarian or a doctor technically be more helpful in this situation. Virgil answers as vaguely as he can because Thomas is a stranger and a human and Virgil would love nothing more than wipe his memory.

Thomas gets to keep his memory, and he gets Virgil’s phone number with a promise of updates on the naga’s health.

Virgil does actually keep his promise, after weighing the cons and pros of keeping this human in the loop. In the end, keep your friends close and your enemies closer won out. (He can’t have Thomas going around telling people that nagas exist!! There shouldn’t even be any in Florida, to begin with!)

It takes about a week for Dee to start waking up and actually remember what happens when he’s conscious. After the second week, he’s even up and moving for short periods of time.

While thankful that he’s alive, he doesn’t trust Virgil at all before he’s 110% sure that Virgil isn’t a human. Which makes Thomas visiting a catastrophe.

Virgil really wishes that he could vent to Logan but that’s hard to without either revealing the truth or omitting a lot of key details.

Thomas definitely wishes he could tell Patton and Roman but he also knows that this is a really big thing that is best kept a secret, so he won’t do so without Virgil’s permission.

And then Remy shows up out of nowhere to visit their brother and start chaos. (They’re chaotic lawful and they love it.)

Chaos, in this case, means telling more people that they’re real and not myths. More people being Logan, Remus (who still might be fae), and Roman and Patton (who are probably human but are they). Also Emile, the poor therapist that Remy fell in love with, and who just happens to know Patton.

Dee really misses sleeping in trees, Virgil really wants to go back to blending in among humans, and Thomas is just along for the ride.

What is a “Universal Offering/Devotional Act?”

Feel free to request or suggest deities! This list will be done in order but you can ask for me to complete one that’s further down the list.

This list is subject to change. There are probably repeat deities (deities who go by multiple names, parts of groups like the Horae or Charities who are mostly grouped together, etc.) on this list. Some deities are not on here. Some names are spelt wrong or different.

Curing the Common Cold: The Witches’ Way

 Ah, it’s that time of the year again. Nearing the end of summer, and starting up...the cold season. For everytime our craft has drawn us to go outside in cauld winter weather, there’s a time it draws us to an herbal remedy! For more posts like this, check out my Instagram @witches.corner 

This is meant for the common cold only. Do not use in place of medical attention if you suspect something more serious is at hand or if you are immunocompromised. 

Let’s start with teas! 

 1)  Licorice Tea

 2/4 a cup licorice root

 Freshly peeled ginger finger

 2 quarts water

 Licorice has a myriad of health benefits for fighting the common cold. It helps to thin mucous and reduce coughing, thus reducing symptoms of a scratchy throat. Licorice is also sweet, making it perfect for children stubborn to take cough syrup. It is also known to support the immune system. DO NOT USE IF ON BIRTH CONTROL.

2) Peppermint Tea

1 tablespoon peppermint

1 tablespoon sugar

16 oz boiling water

 Peppermint helps break up sinus congestion, as well as relieve pain of headaches or nausea. I like to use this one cold as well, or make ice cubes out of it. 

3) Ginger Tea

1/2 a cup peeled ginger 

drop of honey

1 tablespoon lemon juice

3 cups water

 Ginger is perhaps one of the best known cold treaters. It is also widely used for relief from vomiting or nausea. It is seen in treating arthritis, digestive problems, and as an appetite stimulant. For colds, ginger can boost the immune system, soothe pain, and fight inflammation. It’s also a safe alternative to anti-nausea medicines that have sedative side effects. 

Herbal Immune Soup

8 cups (237 ml) water 

1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil

 1 onion, diced 

1 bulb garlic (at least 10 cloves), minced One 1 1⁄2 inch

 (3 1⁄2 cm) piece of fresh ginger root grated

 1 1⁄2 cups salted vegetable soup stock, chicken broth, what have you 

 5 pieces sliced dried Astragalus Root 

2 cups fresh, sliced shiitake mushrooms 

1 large reishi mushroom 

Cayenne powder

Bring water to boil in large pot. Heat olive oil, sauté garlic, onions, and ginger until soft and aromatic. Add contents of skillet to water. Add broth, shiitake, astragalus, and reishi. Simmer covered for two hours. Remove from heat, allow to sit for two more hours. Remove astragalus and reishi mushrooms. Reheat. Add salt and pepper to taste, and cayenne powder if desired. (Just enough to bring out a light sweat.) Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners encourage an Astragalus Root soup once a week to prevent colds during winter months.

Stinging Nettle Soup

1 lb stinging nettle

1/4 a cup basmati rice

4 cups vegetable/chicken broth

2 teaspoons salt

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 white onion, diced

Bring a large pot of water to a boil with 2 teaspoons of salt. Drop in the stinging nettles, and cook 1 to 2 minutes until they soften. This will remove most of the sting. Drain in a colander, and rinse with cold water. Trim off any tough stems, then chop coarsely. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat, and stir in the onion. Cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice, chicken broth, and chopped nettles. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Puree the soup with an immersion blender, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

 Oils:

Tea Tree - fights congestion

Pine - relieves sore throat, clears nasal passages

Lavender - antiseptic and antimicrobial properties, gentle enough for use with children.

Peppermint - antiseptic and anti-viral properties, can be useful as an expectorant. Steam should not be inhaled by children or babies.

Thyme - to help fight congestion. Do not ingest if you have high blood pressure.

Lemon/Orange - boosts production of white blood cells, helps with circulation

Eucalyptus - helps open blocked nasal passages, soothes inflammation and  fights bacteria

Rosemary - eases discomfort, stress, encourages appetite

Thieves - eases sore throat, antibacterial

***Not all oils are safe for ingestion, inhalation, or on the skin. 

***Research oils if you live with pets, babies, infants, young children, asthmatics, allergy sufferers, etc.,

Dangan Thieves AU: Mikan Tsumiki

YO *Fits head through a hole on the door*

Ever since the second fan made submission to the AU belonging to @shsl-shipper-gamer-fangirl I’ve been thinking about Mikan

So here, take itttt

~

Mikan Tsumiki, the ultimate nurse from Hope Peak’s Academy, she sees her existence as a nuisance to others and will do anything for people to like her, but can we trust her after being under brainwash for a while?

Arcana: The lovers ~“My beloved forgave my existence and I gave her my heart, but she didn’t want it, nor gave me hers” Those were her words after breaking free from brainwash, we need to make her see she is just as worth as anybody else

Codename: Heartbeat

Outfit: She uses her hair tied on a low and messy ponytail with a monochrome broken hairtie and a nurse hat with a cross and the same heart, she also uses a lab coat that resembles the one from her remnant of despair counterpart but it opens up at the waist and extends to her ankles, the buttons are Crosses and she wears a tight purple skirt under, she also has a medical mask and her usual bandages alongside high socks that have cross patterns on the sides and nurse shoes (Thanks mobile for not letting me add pics)

Mask: A regular mask that is shaped like two horizontal hearts, a black one and a white one with a break between them

Persona: Aceso, the Greek deity of the healing process

Skillset: strong healing and buffs, her very last ability grants her finding an enemie’s weakness but stuns her until her next turn, good gun damage that stacks weaknesses on enemies if they’ve been found yet but weak against curse and charm

Initial weapons: Melee: A medical bonesaw Ranged: An SMG that uses syringes as ammo

All-Out attack card: It’d be fairly similar to the one she had at sdr2’s intro theme with the words “I’m sorry” written on cursive (Haha all doctors write badly whatever)

Persona awakening scene

After being an obstacle for an entire dungeon, the gang finally makes her see what true love and friendship really is

Mikan: My beloved forgave my existence and I gave her my heart, but she didn’t want it… Nor she have me hers in return… She didn’t care about me… I-I… *Breaks down crying until the Persona Heartbeat™ happens*

Aceso: Poor innocent child, you were tricked with the heart into obeying a force of evil, now you are left behind, broken, wounded, but it’s not your fault, you should know the very act of existing should be cherished

Mikan: I-I’m not a burden… True friends w-will like me for who I am and not f-for what I can do…

Aceso: Just like many others, you need to learn and you need to heal, I will assist you along the way, I am thou, thou art I, the contact is sealed for the sake of helping yourself and helping others, at the end of the path, you and the ill will be healed entirely

Mikan: I don’t need forgiveness for what is not my fault, the past broke us all in pieces and we need to learn, heal and be better for the future, p-please help me Aceso!

Mementos chats

“This might sound presumptuous but you’re getting better at driving… Slowly”

“Mm… Sometimes seeing my bonesaw reminds me of bad times…”

“This place looks very dark and scary… Well at least I’ve been in worse”

“Weaknesses are a little complicated… But she taught me how important it is to find them and exploit them…”

Hajime: Say Mikan, what do you like the most about being a Dangan Thief?“ Mikan: … Being with all of you

Chiaki: I like your weapons Heartbeat! Are they referencing Mister Ludwig and Miss Valentine? Mikan: W-Who…? Umm… I-I mean yes! I-I’m referencing a-anything you like Bonnie!

Fuyuhiko: Yo, Mikan, how sick do you have to be to kill someone so painfully? I mean, stabbed endlessly by small syringes is some next level shit Mikan: I-I learned that on top of being painful when mishandled, many fear syringes and sometimes it’s good to exploit fear and pain to your advantage…

Mikan: I-I’m so sorry for what I did before joining y-you… I-I’m surprised you *hic* even trust m-mee… *hic* Chiaki: No matter what you or anyone does Mikan, we’ll always believe in each other, especially me

~Bonus dialogue, choosing a codename

Hajime: So, what should we call Mikan? She needs a codename to be a Dangan Thief

Mikan: ummm, I still can’t b-believe you’re taking me in…

Nagito: How about nurse? It’s her talent from Hope’s Peak after all

Hajime: No, it’s too literal

Chiaki: How about psycho nurse?

Fuyuhiko: Can we not? Look, she’s got that heart theme all over her costume and all of that so we should start there

Nagito: Heart, heartbreak?

Hajime: Again, too literal

Fuyuhiko: Maybe pulse?

Chiaki: Hey Mikan, is there a medical them for a heart disease that would make a good codename?

Mikan: W-Well, arrythmia is a term used to describe an irregularly fast heartbeat that could kill you a-and when you’re in love or in shock your heart starts going really fast too

Chiaki: No, it’s too complicated… I guess medical terms are too difficult

Hajime: *Clearly after solving a sdr2 minigame* How about heartbeat? It’s not too complicated and it fits your style and what happened to you

Mikan: A-Ah! Yes I like it, t-thank you very much Hajime!

Character Intro: Melete (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- principessa by her mother

Age- 10 (immortal)

Location- Queenstown district, New Olympus

Personality- She's a total bookworm- finding wonder & escapism through pages of another world. She's also friendly, thoughtful, and a true virtuoso!

She has the standard abilities of a goddess except shapeshifting. As the goddess of thought & meditation her powers/abilities include audiokinesis (sings on a perfect pitch), meditation empowerment, and thought projection.

Melete lives with her mom Lyrikós (Titaness of voice & song) and younger sister Mneme (goddess of remembrance) in a penthouse apartment in the Queenstown neighborhood of New Olympus. She has one pet- a british shorthair cat named Bella. Her bedroom is the quintessential girly girl room with floral wallpaper, a mini chandelier, a canopy bed, and mink white carpeting. There's a seperate closet with built in shelves that holds her book collection.

A go-to drink for her is her mother's homemade hot chocolate (which she likes to dip biscottis in). She also likes cappuccinos, sparkling water, lemonade, cheesecake milkshakes from The Frozen Spoon, peach iced tea, & lychee mint soda.

As well as being able to read and transcribe music, Melete can also play the piano, harp, lyre, violin, & flute.

Notable physical features include a beauty mark near her top lip and her bright hazel-green eyes.

She loves when her mom makes her famous ricotta pancakes for breakfast. On the rare occassion where they're running late, they'll stop by at The Bread Box where Melete will get a sausage, egg, & cheese on a hero.

She recently got her ears pierced!

Melete is currently on break from school, attending an esteemed private school in downtown New Olympus with her baby sister. She's friends with a few students in her grade including young deities like Ersa (goddess of morning dew), Eulabeia (goddess of caution), and Calleis (goddess of allurement). Melete's best friend is Aidos (goddess of shame, modesty, humility, & respect). Melete is also friends with Xenia (goddess of hospitality), a fourth grader. The third graders include her baby sister, Caerus (god of opportunity & luck), Myrízei (god of smell & gases), Prophasis (goddess of excuses), Hebe (goddess of youth), Paidia (goddess of play & amusement), Aceso (goddess of healing), and Physis (goddess of nature).

Her favorite classes are literature and music. She's even a part of the school's band!

Melete got an ice cream cone shaped jeweled Diamond Ave. clutch from her big sis Aoide (goddess of voice & song) as a birthday gift.

Her favorite dessert are her mom's cannolis! She also likes the tiramisu cupcakes from Hollyhock's Bakery.

An upcoming school trip she's looking forward to is to Delphi to see the Omphalos stone.

Most days afterschool & on the weekends, her and her sister take ballet classes.

Melete's favorite vocalists are her older sister and mom. She also likes listening to some artists signed onto her sister's record label like Pale Blu, O, & The Gypsy Belles. Her other favorite singers include Apollo (god of the sun, music, poetry, healing, medicine, archery, plague, light, & knowledge) and the music group M9 (which she keeps secret from her big sister).

A recent guilty pleasure of hers has been crab sushi rolls. She tried them when Calleis' mother took her and Aidos to The Ocean Roll, a popular shift restaurant in the Tsunami neighborhood following a trip to the cinema!

Every week afterschool Melete and Aidos visits the Silver Owl Bookstore where they end up buying more books than intended! Her favorite genres to read include contemporary, fantasy, & historical fiction! She vividly remembers the scandal at recess when she brought a romance novel written by Aphrodite (goddess of love & beauty). Her and her friends laughed & blushed at the "sweaty parts."

She has hopes of signing onto her sister's recording label as an upcoming artist after her induction ceremony. She loves stopping by at Aoide's record studio!

Melete & her mom often go to mother/daughter yoga classes.

In her free time she enjoys listening to music, reading, drawing, bike riding, doing lanyard, & going to the cinema. Melete has even taken on cooking as the latest hobby- her most well known snack being pepperoni & sausage calzones loaded with mozzarella cheese.

Her all time favorite meal is lobster risotto.

"The good thing about creativity is that it never runs out!"
