#morpheus worship

[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?

What's your opinion on Morpheus as a Hellenic polytheist? From my research, he is a purely Roman deity from Ovid's Metamorphoses

i don’t have a very fleshed-out opinion since i don’t personally worship Lord Morpheus and haven’t (unfortunately) done a lot of reading up on Him yet.

i do recall hearing of some people being worshippers of Morpheus, so i do recommend anyone who is to please leave their thoughts, opinions, and advice here for our friend ^^

i’m sure many people worship Him as the God of Dreams, and if i recall Morpheus is the son of Lord Hypnos (who i have more of a worshipping relationship with). from what i gathered, He tends to help out with dreams; passing along messages you might need to hear and ensuring safety, protection, and positivity in that area. my general opinion is one of respect and admiration, i believe Lord Morpheus deserves much more recognition and many more hymns in His honor ♡

˚⊹𐂴 Morpheus

“Diary” entry // 18.08.2024

Ever since I started working with the gods, they have shown up in my dreams almost every night. Not directly speaking to me, sometimes not even in a physical form, but they were somehow always present.

I’ve always been SUPER interested in dreams. I have kept a dream journal for as long as I remember and I lucid dream quite regularly. So every time I dreamed about a god, I took that as a sign, or at least took it seriously.

Yesterday, I first heard about Morpheus. The moment I started reading about him, I felt a very strong energy go through my body. This has happened before, with Aphrodite and with Ares.

I started getting bombarded with signs right after. Suddenly my Pinterest was covered in butterflies, skeleton keys, skulls, moons and bats. I also learned agate is associated with him, and a few days prior, I had bought one because I felt drawn to it and had left it on my nightstand.

This night, I also dreamt a lot, and I remember a lot too. Aphrodite was there, smiling and dancing, and it felt like a sign I had needed in that moment.

I made a Morpheus info page in my digital Grimoire/BoS now. I’ll definitely be learning more about him and I might try to contact him today!

Not a Hypnos devotee, but as an Asteria and Morpheus devotee I would have friends sleep on my bed because they said it was the nicest bed to nap/sleep in.

This was in my uni dorm back in the day. I had the same exact single bed as everyone else. 🙈

I also had all pets, past and present, fall asleep on me without much trouble and would actually seek out my lap to sleep on. 💜

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

✦ Minor Deity Monday - Morpheus ✦

Welcome to the first of a series!

The first episode of this series starts off with Morpheus, the Greek Shapeshifting God of Dreams and the leader of the Oneiroi, personifications having to do with dreams, or dream spirits (aka daemones).

Who is he?

The name of Morpheus (Μορφευς) means "form" or "shape" and he is known specifically for being the Oneiros who personifies the human form in dreams, taking the shape of various humans and being able to copy the exact voice and mannerisms of the being as well. He also is known to have delivered dreams to humans, and at times delivered messages or prophecy through these dreams.

Mythology

In mythology, Morpheus is considered leader of the Oneiroi, dream daemones, children of either Nyx (Night) and Erebos (Darkness) or of Hypnos (Sleep) and Pasithea (Relaxation), that are called brothers with each other, with the three Oneiroi mentioned in mythology being Morpheus (Form), Phobetor (Frightener), and Phantasos (Fantasy).

Morpheus, along with the rest of the Oneiroi are said to "sleep" in a cave in Erebos (with either Hypnos or Erebos) that is located in the Underworld. The Oneiroi seem to tend to be "sleeping" under the effects of poppy seeds which exist in the cave they reside in. The Poppy plant contains opiates, which is where morphine is derived from. In low doses, it causes drowsiness, sleepiness, and a mild high.

There isn't much mention of Morpheus specifically throughout mythology, with the most prominent of myths including him being in the story of Alcyone and a suspected theory of Morpheus being the unnamed Oneiroi who gave Agamemnon a dream in the Iliad.

Alcyone and Morpheus

After the death of Alcyone's husband, Hera feeling terrible for the situation, had Iris go to Erebos, where Hypnos and the Oneiroi reside, and told Hypnos that Alcyone needed to be told of her husband's death. Hypnos then enlists Morpheus, who fit the situation best as he then goes to Alcyone in the night, and takes the form of her dead husband, copying his voice and mannerisms perfectly, and telling her that she had lost her husband.

Agamemnon's Dream

In the Iliad, Zeus wished to give victory to Achilles during the Trojan War, so to do this, he planned to fool Agamemnon first. For this to work, Zeus enlists the help of Dream (who is suspected to be Morpheus), who turns into Nestor, an advisor to Agamemnon, and speaks to him in his sleep making him believe Zeus is on his side. By doing this, Agamemnon follows through on this fake advice and makes a tactical error, losing in battle instead.

Personal Gnosis

In my personal experience, Morpheus, alike to how he is thought to be in myth, he seems to appear as a young man or entirely cloaked in shadow, either way having dark/blackened angel-like wings, and standing far above even a tall human height. He does also live in Erebos, within the Underworld, with the other Oneiroi.

I also personally feel him to be nonbinary, but primarily male-presenting, so "he" or "they" works!

His attitude can tend to be stoic but with a dark sense of humor, at times being fairly serious when he truly needs you to know something and more mischievous when you fail to pay attention to him, especially if you're in a dream with him. He's a wonderful guide and teacher especially in terms of dream work and has actually helped me quite a bit with understanding lucid dreaming much better. Additionally, as I've seen some talk in a few spaces of liminal deities, I'd consider Morpheus one, especially as a deity known for changing shape and existing primarily in the world of dreams.

He's connected to the element of Air, and the colors silver, black, dark blue, grey, and gold.

The three primary epithets I know him as are: - Winged Guide of Dreams - Focuses on his dream and guiding aspects - The Dark Messenger - Focuses on his prophetic aspects - The Shifting Shadow - Focuses on his more liminal and transformative aspects

worship wednesday

topic: music

-> music plays a big part in my devotion to the gods, as it's a low-effort way for me to keep them in mind as I go through the day. It's also not just music, I devote audio books and podcasts to them as well. Two of my favorite ways to use music is making a playlist for them, and shufflemancy.

-> for Hypnos and Morpheus, I have a specific story I listen to while I go to bed. I also devote my more calming music to them, and music I listen to when I need to calm myself down during episodes. One of the songs I relate them to most is "Dive Back in Time" (yes, the LC opening).

-> for King Asmodeus, he is more my car radio music (typically rock). But he also has his dedicated playlist with lots of songs and artists I relate him too like Mother Mother and IAMX. His music is for when I need to feel better about myself, and give myself confidence.

*note on shufflemancy: it's a type of divination using music that is on shuffle. you ask the entity (or non-entity) to give you a message through the song that plays when you hit the shuffle button. you look at the cover art, lyrics, band/artist, etc. to divine the message sent to you. (this is only my personal way of doing shufflemancy, and other people may do it differently)
