I am SO incredibly pleased with the prayer beads that I made for Apollo, and he really likes them too ☀️

Oui yogurt jars make great, inexpensive canisters that also look great!

Queen of the hunt, holy Mistress of childbirth. Bestower of life and death alike, for your arrows always find their mark. Sacred lady of the moon and the wilds. Untamed, feral, and fire-eyed.

I find you in every dewy pink dawn. I feel you in the crisp, cold night wind. I know you in the white breath of deer herds as they move through your forests.

To be embraced by you is to be cradled in my true mother's arms. For I know you as the architect of my soul and the eternal keeper of my heart.

On this day, I thank you for your presence. I thank you for teaching me the endless cycle of rebirth, of a mother's love, of the thrill of the hunt.

For you have stretched your divine hand through this universe to reach me, and I pray only to take shelter in your sublime spirit.

I love you, my lady. Always and forever with all of me.

Perhaps that’s the whole point of prayer – to think to yourself in peace, to want nothing, to ask for nothing, but simply to sort out your own mind. That should be enough.

Here's my altar. Just offered incense offerings (usually what I offer anyways). The top row is Apollo and Artemis, the middle is Anpu/Anubis, and the bottom is Hermes. I have to print out a picture of anubis that's big enough to fit in the frame.

Prayed for me, Tio, and anyone else I could think of! The blessings I asked differed from person to person. I have a feeling that Tio and I will come into enough money for whatever we truly need. Especially if I remain frugal and stick with my priorities/principles. It is a pleasure serving Santa Muerte. My faith is growing.

I’m really pleased with how my prayer beads for Artemis turned out! I associate Artemis with blues, greens, and other moonlight/earth tones, so I focused on using blues for this set of beads. I’m so glad she liked them too! 🌙💙

Golden Aphrodite

Lady of beauty and grace,

Please give me the power to appreciate my body

Grant me confidence in my masculinity

Help me to feel your love within myself, and to express it outwardly as well

Lady Aphrodite, please hear my prayer

I sing your praises and offer you this incense

[dionysianfreak]

Dionysos I call loud-sounding and divine, inspiring God, a twofold shape is thine: thy various names and attributes I sing, O firstborn Protogonos, thrice begotten Trigonos, Bakkheion king. Rural, ineffable, two-formed, obscure, two-horned, with ivy crowned, and Euion pure: bull-faced and martial, bearer of the vine, endued with counsel prudent and divine: Eubouleos, whom the leaves of vines adorn, of Zeus and Persephoneia occultly born in beds ineffable; all-blessed power, whom with triennial offerings men adore. Immortal Daimon, hear my suppliant voice, give me in blameless plenty to rejoice; and listen gracious to my mystic prayer surrounded with thy choir of nurses fair

LO EVOHE, DIONYSOS

— Orphic Hymn 30 to Dionysus

Prayer to Tyr

When hallowed ground swelled with threatened blood, as the wolf of Loki menaced all, you alone met Honor’s gnashing call.

We ask you inspire us with strength, when we fight the battles life will bring; when it hurts us to do the right thing.

One-handed you fight, none the weaker. Wolfsbane, honorable defender; in your name, I will not surrender.

Hail Tyr!

"Any thought that it is right for you to listen to, no one neither man nor any immortal shall hear it before you." — Zeus to Hera

I am aware this passage is a quarrel between them, but the fact that Zeus states this to be the case at all has always stuck with me and this statue reminds me of the sentiment— Zeus confiding with his Queen
