#hypnos worship

[wingedfoolnearthesun]

me, walking home and noticing the clouds are getting darker: “Lord Zeus i beg you to not let it rain until i make it to my apartment.”

Lord Zeus: proceeds to not let it rain until the minute my foot touches the entrance of the apartment complex, when my head was finally covered by a roof. suddenly, there’s a downpour outside

Lord Hypnos

Lord Hypnos, son of Nyx, god of sleep

[confused-theist]

Do you think Hypnos relishes in cradling newborns, asleep more often than they are awake?

Do you think Morpheus smiles at lucid dreamers as they explore his realm, mesmerized and delighted by the beauty of it?

Do you think Hypnos runs a gentle hand through your hair as you nap away a headache?

Do you think Morpheus shapes a child's dream after their favorite bedtime story, just to bring them joy?

Do you think Hypnos holds you in his arms just a bit closer when someone tries to wake you but you still need more rest?

Do you think Morpheus watches encouragingly as you lay in bed in the morning, trying to remember what you dreamed about?

Create your own mythology

No seriously

The poets of our mythology worshipped these deities too, if they create it why can't you?

Recognize the symbolism of the gods, recognize the symbolism of these tales. I consider my play of my dnd character Saix to be a devotional act to Hypnos, as he was a cleric to Remnus(God of Sleep), and ended up taking the role of sleep god for Himself. Do not be too strict, for the symbols of the Gods are fluid in their interpretation.

They will love what you do to literature that features them, even if it may put them in an "evil" light, in hellenism there isn't pure good or evil, only balance

An insomniac's prayer

Ever restful Hypnos send me into a peaceful slumber. Let my eyes become heavy, my body too. Send me off to dreamland so I may see you. Let me awaken fresh, rested and all anew. Fill my head with sweet dreams of lavender and honey. Send me into sweet slumber, that's all I ask of you.

Orphic Hymn to Hypnos

Sleep, you are lord of all the blessed gods and mortal men, And of every living creature the broad earth nurtures, For you alone are master of all and you visit all, Binding their bodies with fetters unforged. You free us of cares, and, offering sweet respite from toil, You grant holy solace to our every sorrow. You save souls by easing them into the thought of death, Since to Death and Oblivion you are a true brother. But, O blessed one, I beseech you to come, sweet-tempered, And kindly save the initiates that they may serve the gods

I never realized how much good religion could do for me until I started worshipping Hypnos.

I've been worshipping him for just over a week now, and it's brought me so much joy.

I've been getting better sleep, I've been more optimistic, and I've been able to overcome a lot of fears and anxiety.

He's so patient with me. Even when I make mistakes when it comes to worshiping him, he's forgiving and loving.

He's okay with me not being able to make an alter. He's okay with me stuttering and messing up during prayers. He's okay with me taking things slow.

He truly is the most gentle of the gods.

I imagine Lord Hypnos cradling all of His worshippers and devotees in His arms like His children, humming them lullabies so they may rest gently

[aphroditedevotion]

Worship.

Worshipping the blessed gods is so lovely, praying to them, giving them offerings, lighting up their candles, thinking about them, seeing them in everyday life. It's all so amazing. <3

This is your sign to slap your deity all over your city as a form of worship

Ignore the fact I’m no graffiti font expert

[wingedfoolnearthesun]

gentle reminder: it’s okay to be simple and casual with your worship, not everyone’s practice needs to be the same and what you’re doing is more than enough ♡

[hypnos-worship]

devotional acts for Lord Hypnos if you don’t have an altar for Him or just want to feel closer to Him:

take a nap!

write about your dreams

create a playlist for Him

draw Him (it’s okay if you’re not good at drawing, He would probably love to see how you depict Him)

sit outside at night and maybe listen to a devotional playlist or read a book or just nothing

learn about symbolism in dreams

learn about sleep stages

listen to calming soundscapes and music

make your bed

just sit down and relax for a bit

Digital Thanatos and Hypnos Offering!

omg i love them sm

[to-hypnos-we-dream]

Hypnos's energy goes through His devotees.

When your friend sleeps upon your shoulder, that is Hypnos alongside you.

When your partner dreams of you, that is Hypnos with you.

When you wake up to your beloved pet laying on you or near you, that is Hypnos with you.

Hypnos is sleep, Hypnos is dreams

He is personification of concepts, divinity of these things, he is

You face Hypnos in the eyes when you close them with rest on your mind

[confused-theist]

I've already whined to Hypnos and now I've come to whine to everyone else. He gets to hold us every night and yet we can't hug him in return this is beyond tragic this is a grave injustice to him actually
