Eve, the first woman throughout the Abrahamic faiths. Created from the first man, Adam’s, rib, Eve was created to be a companion for the lonely Adam. The two of them fell in love, with them enjoying the paradise of Eden. One day however a snake spoke to the two, it manipulated the innocent humans to defy God’s will and eat from the tree of knowledge. Because of this Eve and Adam were cast out of Eden. Despite the newfound darkness within their hearts the two stayed together, from their love birthed two children Cain and Able. Cain grew jealous of Able and in a cold fit of envy, murdered him. As punishment Cain was banished forever rejected from his family forced to forever wander without end, for his transgression God cursed Cain with a touch that would wither and kill anything he touched. Despite this tragedy Eve gave birth to many more children, most importantly Seth, the originator of the biblical blood line of kings.

Eve is one of the most important figures in all of the Abrahamic religions. She is given a significant amount of reverence in most denominations, though some cast her in a negative light placing the blame for the fall entirely on her despite there being little to no canonical basis for such radical blame. An idea first recounted in some Kabbalist beliefs was that Eve was Adam’s second wife, the first being Lilith who was cast out and turned into a demon. In Gnosticism she’s seen as the human embodiment of Barbelo, the primordial female principle emanated from the real God, similar to how Adam was said to be in God’s image. In Christian tradition, Eve was said to be the precursor to the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, to the point where Mary was said to be the second Eve. Eve is believed to be the Abrahamic version of the divine mother goddess, this is accentuated by her connection to the original Semitic mother Goddess Asherah, the both of them sharing many of their names and roles.

i personally think the fandom should do more with the fact that Frank does not only have heritage from two gods - he actually has heritage from three.

He's directly the son of Mars, but his demigod ancestor Periclymenus is not just the grandson of Poseidon. Periclymenus is also the son of the goddess Chloris.

not to mention, all three of those deities actually have associations with plants - Mars has agricultural aspects, as he had elements of representing ideal Roman life. Chloris is sometimes just generally a nymph and a goddess of spring and flowers. And Poseidon has a specific epithet of "the nurturer" specifying his role in watering plants and contributing to agriculture, particularly near the sea.

a.) that's a really interesting common thread for all Frank's divine ancestors to have given his life is tied to a piece of wood, b.) him having three divine ancestors makes way more sense as to why the gods had to nerf him, c.) just in general the irony of Frank's life being tied to firewood when Percy explicitly has resistance to burning as a descendant of Poseidon and Ares kids in general are just heavily implied to be tanky as fuck. and if we tie Chloris into that, something something you know how some plants need fire in order to grow. that. it's a metaphor.

anyways Frank should get cool abilities from Chloris too thank you for coming to my tedtalk.

So I put on TotK for ambience and just decided to visit Paya and Y’ALL

First off, I clearly haven’t gone to Paya’s room ever in this game because I completed it back in the winter and only just now realized that Impa’s chilling in Paya’s bedroom LOL

Then I laughed because Impa’s just like “oh hey Link,” all casually while he waltzes into her granddaughter’s bedroom HA Impa I thought you were a Zelink shipper 🤣 We all know Link and Paya aren’t like sibling-level friends or anything, Paya still very clearly has a crush, even though she’s matured and trying to be better so Link can be happy with whoever he wants (bless her I love her I adore her, I’m down for post-calamity Zelink but still it would be fun if she and Link could be together—)

BUT THEN. FRIGGIN THEN. Impa’s like “oh yeah I was just looking at this mural that depicts the calamity. You remember that?” And you can be like “Huh?” and like DUDE. NINTENDO. I GET THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE THIS GAME PLAYABLE FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVEN’T PLAYED BOTW BUT GEEZ. LINK WOULD NOT FORGET THIS. FIND A DIFFERENT WAY TO SEGUE INTO AN EXPLANATION. LIKE.

IMPA TEACHES LINK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HE LITERALLY PARTOOK IN A FEW YEARS AGO. AND ENCOURAGES HIM TO GO TO THE HATENO SCHOOL TO GET A LESSON ABOUT THE ANCIENT CALAMITY LIKE HE DIDN’T HEAR THE STORY FROM HER AND KASS EIGHT THOUSAND TIMES JUST A FEW YEARS AGO.

THIS GAME I SWEAR—

What is your role in the world?

'Not everyone is born to war, nor to love but we all are born to live for both at times, but what is the role we play at the backstage ; when we take off the costume and keeping the scripts at the table..a courage to face the mirror and walking out in the street full of people what are you then? Is what today's reading is about, I do readings only if it is channeled so let your intuition guide you well ; )

Pick a Pile

1.Supporting Character/Audience

'Beautiful eyes keep longing for deep and endearing sights of act, efforts and play..you enjoy watching, observing, you can look at the sky for hours without getting tired, you have a tough job but you do it with so much compassion and professional touch that nothing stays in your mind, the novelty of you lies in the subtle nuances of picking up on details which satisfies your soul, you have always been second in your life, be it rank, position, or in personal life this affected you to become more resilient and follow the lead of someone to give you a better space of stage where at least your seen and being seen, heard, and felt makes you feel enough'

Signs : White clothes especially scarf makes or one scarf which you treasure a lot, seeing strangers crying and tearing, and smiling at them, seeing 6:16, 888 and 11:11

Career for you overall : Film Direction, Photography, Anything that needs minimal attention keeps you sane, manager, designer.

These careers can give you the sense of purpose in life as it is your role nobody can do it like you do.

_____________________________________________________________

2. Main Character

'Breathe, easy the world will go on if you rest and go on vacation for months, being at the spot can be heating at times that idea of being answerable to everyone gives you sleep paralysis and sleep talking is what your side effects of burning out results into, you need pause but everyone remembers about work as soon as you arrive even your family comes like 'hey I had to ask did you paid the bills? ' especially when you leave your room and come for fresh air, you feel being consumed all the time you want to shed, shed the way people perceive as it affects you mentally to keep in touch with the real you because there is very rare events to act yourself not any character filling the gaps in others life is like stopping between looking for the perfect mask for today and the kind of people you will meet'

Let me sigh, your future spouse has a message 'Calm down love, I was trying to connect with you when you skipped on your favourite love song, as you were busy I had lost my ear plug cover at my workplace and it was not the best day'

Advice : Leave everything aside and listen to the songs you love and sing your heart out especially when someone talks work sing a song

______________________________________________________________

3.Background Performer/Actor

'Struggling days are the best right? Nobody cares so do you..since you enjoy your two minute shadow appearance and celebrate as if you won an award for it, the cheerful optimism melts the moment everyone leaves, your role begins when you are alone, you act really very well, especially when nobody sees, maybe because you fear the judgement the lights, the shout pressure coming by the action, seeing the main lead being called out in insults walls your dreams under a illusion of having enough and asking for extra even in food makes you feel as if you are begging, guilt, trauma and ignorance seems to follow you'

Messages from Your Guardians : Leave your worries to us, we will ease the agony you carry, leave them to us and move forward we want to see you grow, grow out of yourself.

Signs : You have two opportunities at hand, make decision which has no regret attached, showcase your talent on social media, do not give up, people are noticing you do not leave !

______________________________________________________________

It was very personal I felt, I hope whoever it was meant for has got their messages it can be you if it is, let me know in the comments !

[theeternalwombtarot]

I can feel my ancestors being so proud of me for the woman I’ve become and grown into, I feel crazy saying that but it’s the most beautiful feeling. I think of them often and I know that they’ve been with me every step of the way through all my hardship and learning and growth. Know your ancestors look down at you and are proud of you especially those of you who are generational curse breakers or were meant to be here to bring abundance and peace to their bloodline. Some of you are very loved and very special, they are proud of you and everything they had to endure and go through to have you here. They waited for you, they prayed for you, you are everything to them. They are overjoyed, they are glad. Your ancestors are within you, with your every waking breath you avenge them and bring them peace especially if you’re a person of color.

Hoodoo divination practices

Venturing into the mystical realm of divination, the ancient art of peering into the future, reveals a diverse array of practices deeply ingrained in various cultures. It's high time, particularly for the Black community, to acquaint themselves with the unique divination methods intrinsic to Hoodoo.

First and foremost, it's vital to dispel the common misconception—Tarot is not a native element of Hoodoo. While incorporating Tarot into Hoodoo practices isn't inherently wrong, recognizing its newness to the tradition is crucial. Hoodoo, grounded in resourcefulness, thrives on utilizing what's at hand. Traditional Hoodoo divination paints a vibrant picture, involving practices such as water scrying, star gazing, dreams, visions, psychometry, conversations, and bibliomancy.

These practices aren't confined to rituals; they seamlessly weave into the fabric of everyday life for Black individuals. The prophetic nature of the community fosters an innate knowing that serves as a guiding force—a unique form of divination.

However, the dark era of slavery deprived practitioners of access to various tools later integrated into the Hoodoo system. As the tradition evolved, native tools emerged, including cartomancy, dice, dominoes, bone throwing, and automatic writing. Mastering a divination form native to the Hoodoo lineage is more than a choice; it's a pivotal step towards becoming a proficient practitioner.

Importantly, Hoodoos are advised against heavy reliance on tools. Instead, tools serve as confirmations, with the primary goal being the mastery of clairvoyant abilities as a prophet and psychic. This mastery stems from self-awareness, unwavering focus, and the ongoing journey toward self-mastery.

List of Hoodoo Divination Practices:

Water Scrying

Star Gazing

Dreams

Visions

Psychometry

Conversations

Bibliomancy

Cartomancy

Dice

Dominoes

Bone Throwing

In delving into Hoodoo divination, you'll find a connection that feels innate, paving the way for mastery and the ability to guide others.

Adam, the first man, was created toward the end of creation. God sculpted Adam’s form from dust or mud, and personally breathed life into him. As the first human, Adam named the various animals that walked throughout Eden. Though his life was luxurious it wasn’t without sadness, as Adam felt he was alone. So in his sleep, God took one of his ribs and used it to create Eve, the first woman. As Eve was his other half the two almost instantly fell in love. However, one day the two conversed with a snake within Eden, the snake tricked them into eating a forbidden fruit that contained the knowledge of all things evil. God punished the two lovers by kicking them out of heaven for disobeying the word of God as well as punishing the snake who tricked them, forcing him to crawl upon his stomach for all eternity.

The story of Adam in genesis is one of the most prolific stories told among abrahamic religions. A version of the garden of Eden exists across all Abrahamic denominations, in Gnosticism the garden of Eden is put into a positive light as an attempt by God to liberate Adam and Eve’s spirits from the cage of the physical put on them by the tyrannical spirit Yaldabaoth. In Islam the pair are forgiven by God once they apologize for their actions, God as thanks sent down the black stone and had heaven’s angels bow down to the first humans. In some non-canonical traditions, Adam’s first wife was Lilith, after forcing herself onto Adam she was banished from Eden, ultimately turning into a demon. In some traditions the original Adam was thought to be intersex, possessing traits of both males and females, but was later split into the Adam and Eve known today. The actual historicity of the events in Eden is still a highly debated subject among believers. Some contest it actually happened physically, some say it happened spiritually not actually taking place on earth, and some say that the story is a metaphor for mankind’s inherit hubris.

Samhain is approaching and the veil is thinning. It’s the time to connect with the ancestors and collective dead. It’s the time to practise scrying or divination.

For your altar, decorate with natural things from your areas to honour the local land spirits and dead. Fallen leaves, acorns etc. carve or decorate a pumpkin for your altar or windowsill. Gather some local grave yard dirt for your altar if permission is given by the graveyard grim.

Practice divination with any tool you are drawn to. Traditionally it’s a time of scrying and all you need is a dark colour bowl filled with water and a darkened room lit only by candlelight (ensuring candles are not near anything flammable and secure in holders). The water you gaze into should be reflected by candlelight, soften your gaze as you look into your scrying bowl, it does take time and practice but stick with it and keep a note book close by for journaling.

You can also practice your tarot technique as well. Do a reading for yourself or even for the energy of the season. Maybe gather some friends together and do a group reading too.

Honour your ancestors by placing photos of passed loved ones on an altar for the ancestors. You could also add graveyard dirt,found animal bones, herbs associated with the dead etc and can be as simple or as fancy as you like. You can even offer the ancestors an offering. I often do one of incense, candle light and blessed water. I often do this around the dark moon and say the following to them during my offerings

On my ancestor altar (above) I have my late husband, my father and grandparents, aunts and uncles and even a passed beloved pet cat!

I give my offerings and say my words which I share with you here.

“Ancestors, I call to you now to be here with me now and always. Accept these offerings with the love they are given. I offer you Earth the grounding element to secure, I offer you water, the spiritual pure element. I offer you incense the air element for communication. I offer you a candle, the fire element for light and warmth. Ancestors accept these simple offerings in love and remembrance. Beloved Ancestors feed on this earth, smoke, water and light to nourish and strengthen you. Blessed be”

You can tailor the words to suit you and your ancestors and doing this on Samhain and every dark moon helps to strengthen the bond.

Samhain, Ancestors and Strange Occurrences (storytime)

A personal story time ahead of something that happened just the day before Samhain/ Halloween with a friend.

For context, I do not work with ancestors due to the sheer lack of connection, being queer, trans and in general not having good ancestors who I think can add much to my life (where at a point I ended up throwing their candle in their trash - yeah, i know - but that is a story for another time. If you have absolutely hateful and horrible ancestors that you have had altercations with, you Know).

I was on a call with my friend, who is also a witch when I told her that I kept hearing sniffling at my back, even though there was nobody there, I could feel a strong presence.

She simply asked me to throw some salt over my shoulder (a typical witch remedy, of course), and I said, "Maybe, or it could just be the veil thinning since Samhain is arriving in less than a day."

And at the same time we both ended up saying,

"it feels like an old man"

"maybe an old man ancestor who is proud of you"

Both of us paused and looked at each other as - okay if we are both saying that something is going on. She immediately stopped everything, got in the zone to channel and started describing this old man to me, and lo and behold, she was literally describing my great-grandfather.

I had never spoken to her about him, nor did she know of my relation with my great-grandfather. Yet, she got the specifics of the type of glasses he wore the exact type of cane, his favourite food, his favourite flavours, objects he carried around with himself, and specific things he had said to me.

Safe to say, we both were shocked, and she kept saying I don't know how this is happening, and how it is never this specific.

There was a lot more shared that I will not be sharing here for very obvious reasons.

Turns out that even if you put your back on your ancestors, they are still very much there, something which, if I had read in the past, I would have scoffed and moved on, and that is the power of personal experience.

(Reminder -This is not me saying that you too will have this moment, nor is this me trying to say that yes working with your ancestors is something you need to or should do. Hell had not even dabbled into the idea of working with them for 5 years until I did, which did not go well. This is a personal experience, sharing about my interactions and experience. You do not have to ever work with an ancestor, regardless of whether them reaching out or not. It is your practice and you get to choose what remains a part of it and what does not)

In my head, he would have been the last person I would ever expect to reach out to, yet he is the one who has been there, looking after me, present, only wanting for me to talk to him and share things with him like old times.

Here is to the veil thinning, and the ancestral energy of Samhain which I had always hated. There is now something to look forward to.

Things can change even after 8 years of being in this practice. And this is why I love being a witch with all my heart.

Happy witching and Merry Samhain to you and your loved ones.

Hello, I was wondering if I could ask more about the roman demigod with the label [Lifeguard] from your roman cohort post on the blog as well as the demigod on the fourth cohort page with the Camp Jupiter Confidential demigods on it, first in the second row with the brown shoulder length hair, green eyes and glasses? I love your art and your art style, its so beautiful. :) Sorry, if the ask to long.

Of course! [Post anon is referencing here]

These two are from my project to flesh out Camp Jupiter for my askblog, @deadangelos!

The lifeguard one is in 3rd cohort, and is referenced in Camp Jupiter Classified and I fleshed him out a bit - mainly giving him a design, name, and divine ancestor (Venilia - a nymph/goddess of winds and sea, which felt fitting for a lifeguard). His name comes from an Italian form of "Alexander," and is the name of the painter of The Birth Of Venus (There's actually a mountain on Venus named for Venilia, so that's one of the tie-ins there), and the name Morgan means "sea circle" essentially, so again lots of water themes for him for the lifeguard stuff. Cause giving demigod ocs referential names is fun.

Jenifer is a double-legacy in 4th cohort. Palatua is a goddess guardian of Palatine Hill, and Vacuna was a goddess prayed to in favor of absent or missing friends and family. She joined the legion basically right at the end or right after the Titan War. He looks all depressed cause I thought it'd be interesting if, because of the exact combo of his double-legacy, he feels a lot of responsibility for the safety and well-being of Camp Jupiter and the Romans who live there, and they just got out of the Titan War and are still reeling from that and the losses/destruction from that- and because he was either new during the end of the war or joined just after, he couldn't really do much to help. She's just got a lot on her mind.

Design-wise they're both mostly born out of me fiddling, as are most of the bg romans designs I make. I just kind of keep working at them until I like them and then flesh out a character around that - Jenifer was more that, and Sandro was more me trying to work out a design that I was more or less satisfied with that fit for the character briefly referenced in CJC and figuring out what he might be like in more than one sentence. Sometimes I'll have a particular design or concept I wanna mess with and I'll work around that, but usually it's just me messing around until I get something I like.

I have a lot of fun designing background riordanverse characters and fleshing them out like this, so always feel free to ask about them! I tend to talk a bit more about those concepts over on my main pjo sideblog @aroaceleovaldez, but I'll happily chat about the design aspects here as well!

blessed samhain <3 happy new moon

i have found myself going through an immense period of growth this year. most of my energy has been delegated to surviving in such a way that allowed me to be present with my family. while i acknowledge that this season is far from over, i wanted to share my new moon & samhain reading.

the oracle card encourages me to reflect, celebrate what was, and mourn what is no longer while looking forward to a new season of growth (spring). this card is especially special to me because of the cardinal. i have vivid memories of bird watching with my late maternal grandmother and she would tell me these birds were one of her favorites. as i shuffled the deck, i focused on the memory of her. on the day that the veil is the most thin, after having seen signs from her for the last few weeks, she truly came through.

i believe the tarot cards are part of the message she had for me. strong maternal energy comes through with the empress, despite it being in reverse. the message encourages me to invest love & energy back into myself. it also affirms that i’m on the right path & that my guides are with me.

i apologize for the long winded nature of this post. this reading is just so special, and it deserved to be shared.

sending love & well wishes to you all.

i believe. i receive.

thank you

<3
