Just wanna thank Mother Gaea for the plants we grew lately 💚

I know Ladies Demeter and Persephone are usually the gardening ones but when we planted these I specifically prayed to Gaea to help them grow healthily because I didn’t really have a relationship with Demeter or Persephone but I had built one with Gaea

Today, we got two good summer squash, a cucumber, a GIANT cucumber, and lots of tomatoes (which we have been getting all summer). The squash and cucumbers are the first ones we’ve picked so far and they are AMAZING

Thanks Mother Gaea for helping these plants grow 💚

WHEN ELDER GODS RIPPED THROUGH THE EARTH IN THE PRIMORDIAL MARVEL UNIVERSE.

PIC INFO: Resolution at 900x1348 -- Spotlight on the birth of the Elder Gods: Mother Gaea, Chthon, Set, and the direct ancestors of every Marvel god/deity thereafter, from the pages of "Thor" Annual Vol. 1 #10. October, 1982. Marvel Comics.

"The Demiurge aligned the evolving planet with the Celestial Axis... and then, in a burst of procreation, showered the Earth with sparks of its own life... seeding the primeval mud... vitalizing the inchoate soil... engendering the first forms of ethereal life which sprang full-grown from the ground -- beings who would be called Elder Gods -- beings like Chthon... Gaea... Set... and innumerable others. The Elder Gods proliferated, spreading across the Earth until no corner of the globe was without their kind."

sorry can't be normal about this. gaea was hazel's MOM. her MOTHER. they were living in a house with one room together, working together, creating gaea's son together. even when hazel escaped she would always come back home. the face hazel fears is now identical to her own. gaea pushed hazel to develop her powers, pushed her to a breaking point. gaea torments all of the seven but she knows when hazel was happy, she knows what she wanted, she knows what she feared, she knows her more closely than ANYONE. and hazel lived and died in gaea's heart! hazel killed her children! and hazel would do anything to destroy her up to and including letting her friend and grandson of the person she loved kill himself. they made each other and unmade each other.

actually in hindsight why did Rick repeatedly have Piper solve all the ghost problems on the Argo II when. Hazel was right there. A daughter of Pluto. who by all logic should be able to control ghosts even a little bit. like, we know she has at least some of those types of powers. she just never gets to actually practically use them. ever. and then when there are zombies Hazel once again. does not get to use her powers about it. what.

An update to my Earth altar! I don’t think I’ve posted pics of this one recently, but I’ve been curating this little mushroom garden for like 6 months now. I also added in a little nest and a Gaia poppet 🌎🌲🍄

In a sick twisted way if Hazel stayed dead Alcyoneus would've been the only thing left to preserve her memory

They walked directly to Nature's treehouse, letting their feelings sort out and settle.

i think this might be my favorite hazel scene because of how it recontextualizes all her other flashbacks. after three horrible ones after each other, there's finally one where things went right, in the beginning. its the beginning of the end but hazel doesn't know that its all going to go wrong. she's just sitting with her mom in the park and watching the sun come up.

Thor's origins in the comics: a study

In Avengers 1,000,000 B.C. #1 we have a deeper and confusing insight into Thor’s origins.

Odin and the Phoenix had a relationship (Avengers 2018 #62), they loved each other, he wanted to have a child with her

But, she believed her nature would never allow her to have a baby. So the Phoenix asked Gaea to have the baby instead, to give Odin a chance

Odin and Gaea had an affair and together they made Thor, who was born as a multiversal threat

His birth attracted a lot of unwanted attention, including the Frost Giant King Laufey’s, who launched a vicious assault on Odin and Gaea and baby Thor

With a single blow, the baby was frozen to his very core, seemingly without any hope of salvation

Luckily, the Phoenix heard Gaea's cries and felt Thor's pain. She answered without any hesitation 

With her flames, the first Phoenix breathed new life into the God of Thunder.  She burned the fires of life into Thor to revive him. That’s his rebirth so, still in a way, the Phoenix feels like his Mother in that sense

The Phoenix wanted to be around, to watch the kid grow, but he was a threat to the other realms since he was a baby 😬

Gaea is still Thor's biological mother, the Phoenix thinks of herself as his second mother because she imbued Thor with phoenix fire to save his life which is why he also has that power. When Thor was weaned, Odin took him from Gaea...

...to give him to Frigga/Freya, his wife, the one who Thor calls Mother, the woman who raised him and probably named him, too. But, of course, baby Thor cried because he missed his biological mother, Gaea

And Odin couldn’t handle baby Thor’s thunder anymore, didn’t understand why he cried nor had patience with the baby

The First Time I Saw To Gaia: The Mother of All of Us

(In May, there are many dates to celebrate Mothers around The World; [The ones than really love and care for their Sons and Daughters, I mean...] so I decided put this post, to celebrate to all the Loving Mothers; Specially to all Pagan/Wiccan/Witches Moms out there, and... To Gaia!)

My first image of Gaia, as represented in Ancient Art; was an sculture where she looks as a young adult with a thick braid around her head, with the rest of her hair down; with a simple tunic till her knees, barefoot and smiling; and in position of running: It was the first time I saw the sculture, but... It felt familiar, to me!

But... I had to wait four years more, to saw to the real Gaia; in person...

...It was weeks after my family moved into a new house, than one night; I have this vision:

I was in the higher part of an incline cliff, than its lower part; ended in a beach and in the sea. I have a white simple ancient greek dress till my kness, and I saw to all The Gods and Goddessess closer to me, than were standing in front of me; and suddenly... They turned their head in direction to the sea, and they divide to two files with enough room to leave than someone could walk between them with easy, and as soon they left that space between them; they started to kneel slowly, and closed their eyes: Athena, opposite in front of Loki; and many did the same. (I apologize, if I don't remember this part; well: It was a very long time ago!) I was wondering, what was the cause of this ''Odd behaviour''; 'cause they did this gesture, with a solemnity and genuine affection for the one than will arrive soon to that place; than looks incredible and unexpected for me: ''WHO, could have earned such Respect; Devotion an Love, than could makes to Gods and Goddessess of so different cultures; to kneel in expectances of their arrival?!'' Was my thought at that moment.

And then... I saw Her!...

I saw from the lower part of the cliff, walking toward me with elegance and in a slow pace... A 25 years old woman with dark red hair and eyebrows; slightly tan skin, dark green eyes, red lips, thick dark eyelashes; medium size body, wearing a tunic of three colors; (brown on top, bright red at the medium of her body; and bright green in her skirt) her hair in a medium thick red braid surrounding the rest of her free down hair, always barefoot, and... Like visible pregnant, like she was about to give birth in a matter of days; or weeks! Her energy was warn and tender, and really strong too; and I realized than everytime she touched the ground with ever step of her bare feet, …Green grass and wild little flowers started to grow in a fast rate, under her feet.

I was so in awe, than I totally forgot to kneel! (...But, she didn't seemed to be offended for this act) She looked at me, and smiled me in the same way a mother smiles to a dear son/daughter; and I returned the gesture, genuinely.

…I felt, like I hasn't felt since I was a little girl: I felt, like I was in Home!

Gaia, appeared to me in moments I didn't think she will appeared; or... When I thoughted ''Why she will appeared, if nobody else seems to care how I really feel about me; or my problems?!...''

When I was alone in my room at night, and have felt evil spirits near of me... Gaia appeared, and they left.

When some relatives and/or people mock me, or disrespect me; and I have felt sad and angry... Gaia appeared, and showed me support with her mere presence.

When I dreamt with an relative than passed away, and I felt things were turning bad in the dream... Gaia appeared, and she calmed my fear with her voice; and protected me till I awaked!

When I felt hopeless, when I hear and/or saw people treating badly to any than is a good person; but than is different... Gaia appeared, and told me than any person than is good at heart; despite their way of dress, how they look; what they own, what they believe, or even; to who they like or love... All are Gaia's Children! AND...

When my ex-friends showed me disrespect, mocked my beliefs; they acussed me falsely, and my whole world, (And Friendship) ended... Gaia appeared in front of my bed, while the other Deities were around my bed, and a few sit next to me; and two were hugging me while I cried... She was there like telling me, than I will never being alone; 'cause she will always watch over me.

Gaia, is a Goddess than is always there when you need Protection; Consolation, Divine Justice, Motherly Love; Someone to gives you their strenght to go on in life, Words of Comfort, and even: a wise advice you didn't knew you was so needy to hear, until she said it.

That's all in this post, and remember: Gaia, is our mother; and she is always at the reach of a heartbeat, like most mothers are! (And, if she doesn't appeared in your room/house soon; after you called her... Take a walk in any natural and beautiful setting, or in an outdoor park: Is more than probable, than you may find a sign of her; or even... You could ended having a brief first encounter with Gaia!)

Than Gaia, (And all The Goddesses that are Mothers) always help us with their Strength and Power; to overcome hard times in life, and to return to the Peace; Light and Happiness... So Be It!

Still talking about Gaea, i understand why Rick put her as an enemy in the hoo. Gaea has been put to sleep before by other gods and she awakens seeking for revenge is pretty much understandable to me. However, Rick didn’t do her justice and forgot how powerful she is. I mean, hello ????? she is the personification of earth, the mother earth and she is a very powerful primordial goddess and the gods were right to put her to sleep the first time, because if she wants to destroy and claim her own lands to herself again, she fucking will. Gaea is a powerful and dangerous enemy just as much as she can be a very powerful ally too. This is why i think that putting her to sleep in the blood of olympus doesn’t make any fucking sense. The demigods should or kill her ( not actually kill her but wound her enough to make her disappear and just reappear years later ) or try to talk to and convince her to be on their side, which i think it would make much more sense.
