how much parents issues do you need to ask literal ancient gods if theyre proud of you asking for a friend

[mauzeart]

Hiii guys. Today I can show you Dodola - the goddess of rain and light thunderstorms, warm showers and fertility. She is one of the most beautiful and kind goddesses of Iriy (the place where the light gods live). It is very difficult to anger her, but if this happens, then be careful. She is Perun's wife, the mother of Devana and Yarilo (I haven’t drawn him yet).

I didn't think about giving her any important role in the story, but after I drew her I started thinking… Because she turned out so cute and cool wah haha

Pasoglavac, keeping watch.  

Finally finished this one, it’s a part of the same series as Vitorog and Lešij! Soft and line-less still.

I’ve had this design of Pasoglavac for a while now - using a Croatian Shepherd as a reference to make the very first drawing of him back in 2014. He remains one of my favorites.

This design is available in my Redbubble Shop

Your offerings to the Gods never have to be over the top. Even a glass of water offered with true devotion and gratitude will get you much closer to the Gods than a diamond offered without them.

before i started my deity work with Aphrodite i prayed to her to make me look like my best self and the day after that my hair started to curl randomly (i have no one in the family with curly hair) and i came out as genderfluid and i still was skeptical

then she gave me so many signs

i literally smelled apple chupa chups when i fell asleep (i didnt have anything apple scented in my room and the window was closed)

i was getting angel numbers constantly

i found a literal shell necklace when i went to throw the trash out

and i was still like "nah cus what if its a misunderstanding"

my soulmate was like "bitch youre so oblivious shes literally calling to you about your cars extended warranty"

and so i asked "if Aphrodite is reaching out to me please show me yourself in my dreams"

AND GUESS WHAT

i dreamed about watching a youtube video called "working with Aphrodite: deity work 101" and there was such a beautiful woman in the video she had a dark skin and long black wavy hair and very thick eyebrows and plump lips and i woke up and i was like "wow she was so pretty" and i was STILL skeptical cus i was like "nah maybe its just because i was thinking about her so much" and my soulmate was FED UP with my dumb bitch shit

and so it was time to do a deity spread because you know maybe its okay and if not then well

and i found a deity spread (i now make my own)

i pulled the card

it was nine of pentacles

i checked the deities associated with the card

"oh, thats random"

another deity spread

the strenght

"oh its the same deity"

ok i think somethings not adding up

and then i researched Bastet

"hmm cats yes, oh dancing,hmmm yeah okay"

and i looked at past me crying randomly because i got the urge to get a cat

and i looked at past me smelling incense randomly

and i looked at past me getting literal signs from her for as long as i could and i was like

"oh my god im so sorry i didnt know"

and so i started my deity work with both of them the same night

past me is stupid, oblivious and made mistakes but past me got me to now where i have a happy established relationship with my goddesses and im forever thankful for that

their altars at first were just sitting on my plant shelf

it was messy

Bastet only had my old silver cat statue, my cat tarot deck (which btw shows her character perfectly) and some tigers eye and tourmaline

Aphrodite only had some rose quartz a drawing of her that i made and a pale pink candle

now we're here and their altars are always full of food offerings to the point i had to upgrade their space to the shelf above

they still share an altar but theyre both okay with it

so uh yeah

just wanted to share this weird story of how i started

(then Aphrodite invited Apollo to my space who helped me a lot with my trauma, then i reached out to Dionysus and Marzanna and now we're here 5 ancient gods sitting in my room watching me read gay fanfiction at night)

The Evermore Grimoire: Slavic Mythology

Vesna was the goddess of spring and youth in Slavic mythology. She was also a very popular goddess amongst people because she replaced Morana (goddess of winter & death). In past times, winter was characterised by a scarcity of food from various diseases caused by the cold, and then associated with death. Vesna on the other hand wore the green fields, the meadows, nice weather, favourable to life and work. With these changes in nature Vesna brought joy into the homes of the Slavs. They celebrated spring because it won winter and announced the summer season. Spring also symbolised the beginning of a beautiful season, when it bloomed, nature awoke, all was reborn and renewed life. It is precisely for this reason in particular the Serbs, had the custom of giving the name Vesna to females. People, who gave this name to a daughter, believed that they would be happy and cheerful just like the goddess Vesna, or, as spring. She was also the goddess of victory as she could overcome death and winter, and governed nature.
