#iris thaumantia;

[dark-veiled]

Ovid, Metamorphoses 11. 585 ff (trans. Melville) (Roman epic C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.):

The father Somnus (Sleep) chose from among his sons, his thronging thousand sons, one who in skill excelled to imitate the human form; Morpheus his name, than whom none can present more cunningly the features, gait and speech of men, their wonted clothes and turn of phrase. He mirrors only men; another forms the beasts and birds and the long sliding snakes. The gods have named him Icelos; here below the tribe of mortals call him Phobetor. A third, excelling in an art diverse, is Phantasos; he wears the cheating shapes of earth, rocks, water, trees--inanimate things. To kings and chieftains these at night display their phantom features; other dreams will roam among the people, haunting common folk. All these dream-brothers the old god passed by and chose Morpheus alone to undertake Thaumantias' [Iris'] commands; then in sweet drowsiness on his high couch he sank his head to sleep.

“I don’t know if you were surprised to get an invitation from me -- I don’t have a habit of trying to figure out what you’re thinking anymore,” Iris admitted, even though she found herself often thinking of Eris more often the past few months than she’d planned on. “But Earth...this mortal realm...it’s not...” As accustomed to humanity and mortals that Iris was, having worked along with them for centuries, their mere mortality reminded Iris that she wasn’t one of them -- that she never would be. That regular reminder brought a heaviness to her stomach, one she tried to ignore when she brought her attention back to Eris. “I could use a distraction for a day. Not your idea of fun or anything...” Iris wanted to say downright cruel, but had no desire to get on Eris’ bad side right then. “...Destructive. Couldn’t we just...quietly poke fun of some people together? Like that man over there,” She nodded her head. “I’m not saying he dressed himself in the dark, but he doesn’t look like he’s trying to impress his girlfriend, and based on her expression...she doesn’t seem too happy, either.”

Hi again, I’m the Iris asker from earlier. Thank you for all the info! I was also wondering what words are associated with her? Like Aphrodite is love and beauty. I don’t have a worship for her yet. Still in the researching stage. Butterflies are my favourite too! I have a crystal prism butterfly figurine that I think would be perfect for her. What drew you to worship Iris? For me it’s that she is goddess of rainbows because rainbows are so magical and happy!

You’re very welcome!! Also that butterfly prism sounds absolutely PERFECT for her! I’m sure she’ll love it!! (I also want one for my altar now… LOL)

Ooo… words that I would associate with Iris… that’s a good question.

Iris always puts me in mind of words like… Joy or Wonder… the feelings you get during a summer storm as the sun is peaking out and you see that rainbow arc across the sky in the most magical way. She’s Gold Dust and Glitter, and laughter in the air. Iris, to me, is the utter elation you feel when you dance in the rain, when the sun is kissing you through grey clouds. (all of this is my own UPG, based on her historical aspects)

I think her epithet of Thaumantia is telling in this, as it means Wondrous One. 

For me, I had been searching and searching for a goddess who fit my association with butterflies… but Psyche wasn’t drawing me in, no matter how I tried, researched, and reached out. I was doing some reading and found someone’s UPG about her being found in the iridescence of a butterfly’s wings and it just… struck me… It’s hard to explain. Either way, I look back at it now and I realize that she’s had a subtle influence, I think, on my life. 

My mom grew irises in our front yard when I was little, and she always kept suncatchers in the windows and hanging off her car mirror. We’d go chasing after rainbows after it would rain. Butterflies have been a patronus of mine since I can remember. When I began my pagan journey, finding her felt so natural, and she’s led me to others in my worship as well, in the true fashion that a messenger would.

Hello! i would like a spirit guide reading, my initials are CF and im a scorpio 14/11, i love your work thank u so much!

👋 hello, CF ♏ 🦂 Scorpio,

Your Spirit Guide is Goddess of the 🌈 Rainbow, Messenger of the Gods: 🌿 IRIS

IRIS BIO:

In Greek mythology, Iris (/ˈaɪrɪs/; Greek: Ἶρις, Ancient Greek: [îːris]) is the personification and goddess of the rainbow and messenger of the gods.

According to Hesiod's Theogony, Iris is the daughter of Thaumas and the Oceanid Electra and the sister of the Harpies: Aello and Ocypete. During the Titanomachy, Iris was the messenger of the Olympian gods while her twin sister Arke betrayed the Olympians and became the messenger of the Titans. She is the goddess of the rainbow. She also serves nectar to the goddesses and gods to drink. Zephyrus, who is the god of the west wind is her consort. Their son is Pothos (Nonnus, Dionysiaca). According to the Dionysiaca of Nonnos, Iris' brother is Hydaspes (book XXVI, lines 355-365).

She is also known as one of the goddesses of the sea and the sky. Iris links the gods to humanity. She travels with the speed of wind from one end of the world to the other[1] and into the depths of the sea and the underworld.

Iris had numerous poetic titles and epithets, including chrysopteros (χρυσόπτερος "golden winged"), podas ōkea (πόδας ὠκέα "swift footed") or podēnemos ōkea (ποδήνεμος ὠκέα "wind-swift footed"), roscida ("dewy", Latin), and Thaumantias (Θαυμαντιάς "Daughter of Thaumas, Wondrous One"), aellopus (ἀελλόπους "storm-footed, storm-swift).[2] She also watered the clouds with her pitcher, obtaining the water from the sea.

🦋🌸🦋The hieroglyph for her name originally used meant (female) of flesh, i.e. mortal, and she may simply have represented deified, real, queens. The most commonly used name for this deity, Isis, is a Greek corruption of the Egyptian name; and its pronunciation as 'eye-sis' is a further corruption by English speakers. The true Egyptian pronunciation is unknown, as Egyptian hieroglyphs only recorded consonants, and left out most of the vowels. The Egyptian hieroglyphics for her name are commonly transliterated as jst; as a convenience, Egyptologists pronounce that as ee-set.

IRIS (Iris), a daughter of Thaumas (whence she is called Thaumantias, Virg. Aen. ix. 5) and Electra, and sister of the Harpies. (Hes. Theog. 266, 780; Apollod. i. 2. § 6; Plat. Theaet. p. 155. d; Plut. de Plac. Philos. iii. 5.) In the Homeric poems she appears as the minister of the Olympian gods, who carries messages from Ida to Olympus, from gods to gods, and from gods to men. (Il. xv. 144, xxiv. 78, 95, ii. 787, xviii. 168, Hymn. in Apoll. Del. 102, &c.) In accordance with these functions of Iris, her name is commonly derived from erô eirô; so that Iris would mean "the speaker or messenger:" but it is not impossible that it may be connected with eirô, "I join," whence eirênê ; so that Iris, the goddess of the rainbow, would be the joiner or conciliator, or the messenger of heaven, who restores peace in nature. In the Homeric poems, it is true, Iris does not appear as the goddess of the rainbow, but the rainbow itself is called iris (Il xi. 27, xvii. 547): and this brilliant phenomenon in tile skies, which vanishes as quickly as it appears, was regarded as the swift minister of the gods. Her genealogy too supports the opinion that Iris was originally the personification of the rainbow. In the earlier poets, and even in Theocritus (xvii. 134) and Virgil (Aen. v. 610) Iris appears as a virgin goddess; but according to later writers, she was married to Zephyrus, and became by him the mother of Eros. (Eustath. ad Hom. pp. 391, 555; Plut. Amat. 20.) With regard to her functions, which we have above briefly described, we may further observe, that the Odyssey never mentions Iris, but only Hermes as the messenger of the gods: in the Iliad, on the other hand, she appears most frequently, and on the most different occasions. She is principally engaged in the service of Zeus, but also in that of Hera, and even serves Achilles in calling the winds to his assistance. (Il. xxiii. 199.) She further performs her services not only when commanded, but she sometimes advises and assists of her own accord (iii. 122, xv. 201. xviii. 197. xxiv. 74, &c.). In later poets she appears on the whole in the same capacity as in the Iliad, but she occurs gradually more and more exclusively in the service of Hera, both in the later Greek and Latin poets. (Callim. Hymn. in Del. 232; Virg. Aen. v. 606; Apollon. Rhod. ii. 288, 432; Ov. Met. xiv. 830, &c.) Some poets describe Iris actually as the rainbow itself, but Servius (ad Aen v. 610) states that the rainbow is only the road on which Iris travels, and which therefore appears whenever the goddess wants it, and vanishes when it is no longer needed: and it would seem that this latter notion was the more prevalent one in antiquity. Respecting the worship of Iris very few traces have come down to us, and we only know that the Delians offered to her on the island of Hecate cakes made of wheat and honey and dried figs. (Athen. xiv. p. 645; comp. Müller, Aegin. p. 170.) No statues of Iris have been preserved, but we find her frequently represented on vases and in bas-reliefs, either standing and dressed in a long and wide tunic, over which hangs a light upper garment, with wings attached to her shoulders, and carrying the herald's staff in her left hand; or she appears flying with wings attached to her shoulders and sandals, with the staff and a pitcher in her hands.

AELLOPUS (Aellopous), a surname of Iris, the messenger of the gods, by which she is described as swift-footed like a storm-wind. Homer uses the form aellopos. (Il. 409.)

Source: Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology.

A goddess named “Iris” personified the rainbow in the mythology of ancient Greece. Most works of art depict her either in the form of a beautiful rainbow, or as a lovely maiden. She wore wings on her shoulders and usually carried a pitcher in one hand. Her name combined the Greek words for “messenger” and “the rainbow” to signify her dual role. Some accounts depict her as one of the goddess Hera’s assistants. (Hera carries associations with the sky.)

The ancient Greeks considered Iris the female counterpart of Hermes. She served as a messenger from Mount Olympus. She would use her pitcher to scoop up water from the ocean and carry it into the clouds. Some legends also hold she used her pitcher to collect water from the River Styx, the shadowy river separating the world of human beings from the underworld. Many Greeks viewed Iris as an important link between mortals and the realm of the gods.

The Family Life of Iris

Most sources describe Iris as the daughter of the Oceanid cloud nymph Elektra and Thaumas, a minor god sometimes associated with the sea. She would have been one of the Titan Oceanus’ granddaughters. Her rainbow frequently appeared in the sky over bodies of water.

Legends differ about her life as an adult. Some stories describe her as unmarried and primarily a messenger for the Olympian gods. In other accounts, she fell in love with Zephyros, the god of the West Wind. They had a son named Pothos, who personified Desire.

Iris as a Messenger

Iris would frequently use her pitcher to serve nectar to the gods and goddesses on Mount Olympus. When these major ancient Greek deities needed to send messages to other gods or to human beings, they would sometimes ask Iris to transmit their words. She could travel very quickly from Mount Olympus to Earth, and could even journey quickly into Hades.

Many ancient Greeks considered Iris one of the most beautiful goddesses. The ancient Greeks described her as “swift footed”, suggesting she could respond rapidly to requests. In legends, she carries symbolic associations with messages and communication.

WHAT DOES SHE LOOK LIKE ?

Iris is depicted in ancient Greek vase painting as a beautiful young woman with golden wings, a herald's rod (kerykeion), and sometimes a water-pitcher (oinochoe) in her hand. She was usually depicted standing beside Zeus or Hera, sometimes serving nectar from her jug. As cup-bearer of the gods Iris is often indistinguishable from Hebe in art.

WHAT DOES IRIS MEAN?

The message that rainbows connect us to the immortal can be seen in many mythologies worldwide, including Japanese and Navajo, though each has a different back story and belief. In our lives, we can see the rainbow as being symbolic of a transition, suggesting a potential change from one phase to another.

Rainbow – Other Symbolic Meanings

In general, rainbows are seen as transcending the earthly realm. Rainbows are the physical symbolism of this ascent. It provides us with inspiration to achieve greater heights and seek wisdom from the worlds beyond. The rainbow is the bridge that closes the gap between these two realms and allows for the possibility for communication. It is symbolic of possibility in many other ways as well. The glowing arch appears high above our horizon and can look close and distant at the same time. We are incapable of finding its end.

The rainbow challenges us to be a better version of ourselves. A more inclusive person, a person who seeks a challenge, a person who desires spiritual growth and a connection to the spiritual realm, a person who endures the darkness in pursuit of the light.

Like the rainbow, these things can seem far away and out of our reach. The important thing, though, is that we keep striving for them. The rainbow symbolism is powerful because it reminds us of the endless possibilities. It shows us vast and magical our world is. Rainbows challenge us to confront and embrace our own potential.

Such a good spread!! 

I used this spread to talk to Iris - I’ve been feeling a little distant from her lately, but she came through with flying colors (heh). 

1. Deity Being Contacted - Temperance - represented by NONE OTHER THAN IRIS. WELP.  Cooperation, patience, harmony, balance, and the connection between opposites. 

2. What They Want To Do For You - Knight of Swords - Castor and Pollux. Sudden inspiration, turbulent change, impulsiveness, restlessness, new ideas.

Guess she wants to change things up for me... Maybe a new project on the horizon?

3. How They Feel About You - The World - Hermaphroditus.  The experience of being whole, living in harmony with oneself, inner healing, discovery, growth, change. 

Hmm.... I suppose she feels that I’m on the path to achieving what I’m seeking for? I just have to keep striving for those goals and make her proud. <3

4. General Message - The Hanged Man - Prometheus.  Voluntary sacrifice, submission to faith, trusting in the gods, relinquishing control, patience, waiting for a new and better life/outcome.

This pretty much is self-explanatory. Trust Iris and the Gods.

5. A Request From Them - Page of Swords - Zephyrus (IRIS’ CONSORT) Immaturity, youthfulness, independence, reflection of childlike curiosity, learning to temper irritability, new ideas. 

Well now. I suppose this would be a request to stop acting so much like a child - learn temperance (hmmmmmmmmmmm) and reflect on the past energies in so much that it will help move me towards the future. 

Iris is strong in this reading... I think... 

Echoes of harmony, change, growth, faith, and hope are throughout all of these cards, and I think it’s pointing out that yes, Iris is still here... that she’s listening... that she’s the silent hand that guides me. 

I just have to listen... and have faith.

Hail Iris Aellopus, Iris Chrysopteron, Iris Thaumantia!

Here’s a simple card spread I developed the other night when I decided to try to reach out to one of the four gods in my pantheon the other night, with absolute success

Day 3 - Newbie Devotee Challenge

Day 3: Does your deity have any alternate names or epithets? If they do, what are they, and what do they mean? What does the name you call your deity mean? 

Lady Iris has several epithets:

Chrysopteron (Χρυσοπτερον) meaning Golden-Winged

Aellopus (Αελλωπος) meaning Storm-Footed

Thaumantia (Θαυμαντιας Θαυμαντος) meaning Thaumas' Daughter, Wondrous One

Podas Ōkea / Podēnemos Ōkea (Πόδας Ώκέα / Ποδήνεμος Ώκέα) meaning Swift Footed or Wind-Swift Footed

She also seems to have a Latin epithet: Roscida meaning Dewy.

The name Iris means rainbow, however, her name is also very close to the Greek word for messenger (eiris).

There is only one, but I’ll share the excerpt from Ovid’s Metamorphoses:

 "[Hera commands the messenger Iris summon Dream :] ‘Iris (Rainbow), my voice’s trustiest messenger, hie quickly to the drowsy hall of Somnus (Sleep) [Hypnos], and bid him send a Dream of Ceyx drowned to break the tidings to [his wife] Alcyone.’

Then Iris, in her thousand hues enrobed traced through the sky her arching bow and reached the cloud-hid palace of the drowsy king [the God of Sleep] … Around him everywhere in various guise lie empty Somnia (Dreams) [Oneiroi], countless as ears of corn at harvest time or sands cast on the shore or leaves that fall upon the forest floor.

There Iris entered, brushing the Somnia (Dreams) aside, and the bright sudden radiance of her robe lit up the hallowed place; slowly the god his heavy eyelids raised, and sinking back time after time, his languid drooping head nodding upon his chest, at last he shook himself out of himself, and leaning up he recognized her and asked why she came, and she replied : ‘Somnus (Sleep) [Hypnos], quietest of the gods, Somnus, peace of all the world, balm of the soul, who drives care away, who gives ease to weary limbs after the hard day’s toil and strength renewed to meet the morrow’s tasks, bid now thy Dreams, whose perfect mimicry matches the truth, in Ceyx’s likeness formed appear in Trachis to Alcyone and feign the shipwreck and her dear love drowned. So Juno [Hera] orders.’

Then, her task performed, Iris departed, for she could no more endure the power of Somnus, as drowsiness stole seeping through her frame, and fled away back o'er the arching rainbow as she came. The father Somnus (Sleep)  chose from among his sons, his thronging thousand sons, one who in skill excelled to imitate the human form; Morpheus his name, than whom none can present more cunningly the features, gait and speech of men, their wonted clothes and turn of phrase. He mirrors only men; another forms the beasts and birds and the long sliding snakes. The gods have named him Icelos; here below the tribe of mortals call him Phobetor. A third, excelling in an art diverse, is Phantasos; he wears the cheating shapes of earth, rocks, water, trees–inanimate things. To kings and chieftains these at night display their phantom features; other dreams will roam among the people, haunting common folk.  All these dream-brothers the old god passed by and chose Morpheus alone to undertake Thaumantias’ [Iris’] commands; then in sweet drowsiness on his high couch he sank his head to sleep.

Soon through the dewy dark on noiseless wings flew Morpheus and with brief delay arrived at Trachis town and, laying his wings aside, took Ceyx’s [ghostly] form and face and, deathly pale and naked, stood beside the poor wife’s bed. His beard was wet and from his sodden hair the sea-drips flowed; then leaning over her, weeping, he said : ‘Poor, poor Alcyone! Do you know me, your Ceyx? Am I changed in death? Look! Now you see, you recognize–ah! Not your husband but your husband’s ghost. Your prayers availed me nothing. I am dead. Feed not your heart with hope, hope false and vain. A wild sou'wester in the Aegaeum sea, striking my ship, in its huge hurricane destroyed her. Over my lips, calling your name–calling in vain–the waters washed. These tidings no dubious courier brings, no vague report: myself, here, shipwrecked, my own fate reveal. Come, rise and weep! Put on your mourning! Weep! Nor unlamented suffer me to join the shadowy spirits of Tartara (the Underworld).’

So Morpheus spoke, spoke too in such a voice as she must think her husband’s (and his tears she took for true), and used her Ceyx’ gestures. Asleep, she moaned and wept and stretched her arms to hold him, but embraced the empty air. ‘Oh wait for me!’ she cried, ‘Why haste away? I will come too.’

Roused by her voice’s sound and by her husband’s ghost, now wide awake, she looked … but found him nowhere … She cried, ‘… He is dead, shipwrecked and drowned. I saw him, knew him, tried to hold him–as he vanished–in my arms. He was a ghost, but yet distinct and clear, truly my husband’s ghost, though to be sure his face was changed, his shining grace was gone. Naked and deathly pale, with dripping hair, I saw him–woe is me!’”

Iris - messenger goddess of rainbows🌈🌈🌈

Epithets:

Chrysopteron (Golden-winged)

Podas ôkea (Swift-footed)

Podênemos ôkea (Wind swift-footed)

Roscida (Dewy)

Thaumantias or Thaumantos (Daughter of Thaumas, Wondrous One)

Aellopus (Ἀελλόπους) swift-footed like a storm-wind

She was often described as the handmaiden and personal messenger of Hera.

Iris was a goddess of sea and sky. Her father Thaumas “the wondrous” was a marine-god, and her mother Elektra “the amber” a cloud-nymph. She was the embodiment of rainbows and acted as a bridge between the gods and humans.

She was one of the few Olympians who was able to travel to the underworld, like Hermes (who also carries a winged staff). It was Iris’s job to collect water from the river Styx for the swearing solemn oaths. The water would render unconscious for one year any god or goddess who lied.

Traditional offerings to Her include figs, cakes, wheat and honey.

The rainbow is Her main symbol.

Sacred Plant: The flower the Iris was named after her.
