Roman Gods And Goddesses of the Countryside, Arch of Trajan at Beneventum, 114 CE
These gods and goddesses represent the prosperity of the countryside: Bacchus, god of the vine with his thyrsos (a fennel-stalk staff); Ceres, goddess of corn and the harvest, with a torch; Diana, goddess of hunting and wild animals; and Silvanus, god of woods and fields, who holds a pine branch (in situ, west side, attic).
Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. -Romans 5:8

#it's also the Incest-Cannibalism Empire but that's a discussion for a different blog#all of the heavy hitters were Incest Empires btw. that's a feature of Empire across all of time. not always Cannibalism tho. TRAGIC.#but rome specifically being the Fratricide&Stuprum Empire is funny AND makes parts of this speech feel. uh. UHHHHH.#feels like you're trying to overwrite history and while you succeeded ONCE the uncle-nephew antagonism with a body count#somehow feels worse????? feels worse. i dont like anything that happened to valentinian 2#anyway. as a result: i personally will be including the bigamy accusations against valentinian into my belief system#stuprum babyyyyy! a requirement for every emperor! valens is lacking here so valentinian has to pick up the slack#valens will be giving me an opening to fire shots at figures in christianity i dislike which is honestly better than scandalous sex#later roman empire tag#komiks tag#brother emperors tag#IF. you missed my brother emperors posting. the head in hands thing here is meant to be a little bit offputting on account of#valentinian being valens' imperial maker. that's a life in your hands. overtures of fratricide. etc. you get the point#whatever other subtext you want to apply to it from the subtext spice cabinet. im not picky. this was a quick comic i did#to shake off the depression cobwebs lmao. eventually i'll style guide this era and do comics with more intentional thought later

To give the gods and deities offerings, do they see us as we see crows bringing them shiny things?

"Somebody will say something like "I can't help myself" but let me tell you something. Listen, the devil can't make a Child of God do anything. He cannot make you. He will lead you, he will guide you, he'll entice you, tempt you but he can't make you." - Dr. Charles Stanley.
Once you have surrendered yourself to Christ, once you have been born again, and once you're gifted with the Holy Spirit, you are a Child of God and therefore you're no longer a slave to the world. You're no longer a slave to the spiritual principalities that rule this word (Ephesians 2:2, Proverbs 1:10).
As a Child of God we are called and expected to walk in step with the Holy Spirit on a "moment by moment" basis. Meaning we don't seek him once a day, once a week, once a month, only when we're in trouble and distress, but on a moment to moment basis. Seeking him every moment of everyday.
We do this because everyday we wake up we face three enemies:
The world
The flesh
The devil
This is why we seek the Spirit on a moment by moment basis. We seek his council, his wisdom, his strength. We seek him when we are inevitably confronted by one of these three enemies and they can come at any moment.
Moment by moment we should be listening to the Holy Spirit. Why? Because he is our guide. He is our gift from the Father above.
Trust me, I know how hard it can be to struggle with sin, to struggle with giving in. I understand just as much as anybody. But I promise you, it's possible to live life without sin, I've done it before, I can do it again. And I know you can too. Amen, may God bless you, always. 🤍
Ephesians 1:14 NLT
[14] The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.
Romans 8:4
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

I’m sick of having to censor my language and beliefs in order to save face in my community. I am polytheistic. I am pagan. I believe in many gods. I worship many gods. I speak to the gods and they speak back. I can hear them. I can see them. I have conversations with them. I believe in faeries. I have faeries that are my friends and live in my house. I give them offerings and they help with the chores. They also take my things and play other practical pranks, just like the old stories said. I know their names. I speak to them and they speak back. I believe in ghosts and spirits. I grew up in a haunted house. I’m psychic. I can speak to the dead. I have spoken to both living and dead animals. I’m superstitious. I find comfort in old wives tales. I am spiritually powerful. I will speak my truth, even if it makes me yet another witch on the outskirts. So be it. That is my destiny.
Khairete.

i want to say first of all that i fully respect a community's/denomination's/culture's right to have closed practices. i am not entitled to other people's traditions, and when i am a guest in a space i understand that everything is not automatically for me. and i know i do not have to understand to respect.
and also! when i go to a catholic church and can't receive communion i want to fall on the floor weeping. what do you mean i can't have him he's right there. sorry my baptism was the wrong kind of baptism. i'm hungry and you want me to become someone else before being fed.
#lutheran alert but will NEVER understand closed communion. i respect it. but i do not get it#none of us will ever be holy enough to hold jesus within us but we do every day anyway. and so we are#communion is what brings me to god. to put a barrier of entry on that. to say you have to believe certain things or be in a certain state?#idk it doesn't sit right with me.#again i respect it i have catholic family ik the beliefs/history/good intentions.#but i need to come out as an open communion fan#roman catholicism didn't exist yet at the last supper. jesus said do this in remembrance of me.#everyone who does this has already fulfilled the requirements to be present at the table#i think that was the only hard part of my grandfather's conversion. that he could break bread for me at the altar but couldn't give it to m#i would give anything to watch him preach one more time (he's retired/sick now)#but more than that i would give anything to be fed by him again. to eat with him as our lord commanded#just once.#i will have to be satisfied with the foretastes of the feasts to come that i have received from/with him. we'll have that again

i don't know who needs to hear this but asserting a belief as existing "in lore" without specifying what "lore", from when and where, or indeed naming any kind of actual source makes you look like you just pulled that "historical fact" out of your arse
#i do know who needs to hear this and it's a very large number of people posting about folk beliefs on twitter#i'm not saying those folk beliefs don't exist but damn it would be nice to be able to follow up on them occasionally#'in lore' what lore. what fucking lore. what country. what century.#is this an ancient roman belief or a 19th century scottish idea or what. those are wildly different things. come on man

Milk baths and bad smells
#korekiyo shinguji#kirumi tojo#cruise ship au#danganronpa ask blog#There are legends that Cleopatra bathed in goat milk daily for her complexion. These legends have not been confirmed and some historians be-#lieve that Roman Empress Poppaea (wife of Nero) set this bathing fashion after Cleopatra's death.#Queens Catherine Parr and later Elizabeth I of England bathed in milk in the belief that it would make their skin appear more youthful and#pale.Tincture of benzoin was also referred to as a 'milk bath' in the United States in the 1800s#which could in some cases be confused#for baths of cow milk#also popular at the time. There are references to cows milk as a bath technique found in India in the 1800s in#“Fifty-one years of Victorian life” by Margaret Elizabeth Child Villiers#Countess of Jersey. In the early 1900s#singer and Broadway star#Anna Held was reported to bathe in milk daily. She was later quoted as having bathed in milk two times a week when living in Paris#finding#it difficult to do so while traveling. Her husband Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. later reported to the press that she bathed in milk daily and set up#photo shoots so that reporters could photograph the milk being delivered to her. A buttermilk bath was also a common historical bathing#technique for show animals and remains in practice today (such as for pigs and dogs).#- That's Korekiyos Rambling (it's from Wikipedia)

Tisha B'Av is over now right? Back to the Jewish joy right?
The Romans destroyed our temples in hopes of destroying us. But guess what ancient Romans! we're out here still worshipping Hashem just as our ancestors did.
Take that motherfuckers!!!!!
#next holiday is rosh Hashanah right#thats the shit#if there's any citizen of modern day rome who is adheres to ancient roman belief this isn't about you#i have no ill will towards you
