Hello Dreamers !

It's Sunday! I hope you had a lovely week, and if not, then that the next one is better.

This Sunday post is a little bit different from the others, but bear with me. Today I did not want to post a meditation guide, or breathing tips, or types of relaxing tea, etc... Today I wanted to share a little piece of me with you.

Personally, I think it's more than okay and even a great way to bond / build kharis with your gods, to be vulnerable with them. Of course it's not ideal to be crying to your gods everyday or every week even; but if you do, don't be afraid to ask for comfort, or simply allow them in your space. Sometimes, you go to just talk or have an unrelated conversation with your deities, but end up getting overwhelmed or potentially crying - but before you freak out about disrespecting your gods by cying in front of them please remember that you are not. Different deities have different boundaries with different people, I understand that, however you will be hard pressed to find someone who says their deity was hostile towards them whilst they were vulnerable. Vulnerability comes in many forms as well, showing your love to your deities, even if you might think it's 'obsessive' or 'weird' it's quite a normal part of devotion. And feeling love towards someone (not explicitly romantic, can be any kind) is normal. Yes, even with deities. So, with that in mind, I will encourage you to share yourself, even those parts that you don't like about yourself with your gods; allow yourself to be vulnerable.

I'll start. Here are a few prayers / poems / conversations that I've had with deities that had become personal and vulnerable.

Something I wrote to Hypnos

"I love you so much my Lord. Please, please be gentle with me, I beg. I am in awe of your presence and am delighted by your name, please be gentle with me. I love the feeling of my lips when they sound your name - the word flowing out like a current - begging to be heard. I crave your embrace each night and think of it fondly during the day. 24 hours is too long to wait. This may sound obsessive, but think of it as devotion. I place my faith in you my Lord - and your ever caring hands. I devote myself to sleep. I only beg you hear me and treat me with kindness, as much I doubt you would ever not. But, my Lord, I come to you humbly, muttering out your praise on dried lips - needing to be nourished. Please my Lord, nourish me. I love you, and unashamed to speak it. Praise be to you my Lord, in all your glorious ways. Praise be to sleep - to whom I'm devoted. Xaire Hypnos!"

Another thing I wrote to Hypnos

"My Lord, I hope you are well. I hope you like the blog as well. I miss you. I don't know why, you're often with me, but the room feels so empty without you here. Alas, you are busy, and I understand that. But whilst you're gone I will continue to praise your name, I try to at least, even when I can't say you specifically. I hope you're not mad at me or disapointed. If you are, I am so sorry, I am trying to do better. I know I'm not perfect and I'm trying to not let it affect my worship, but I'm scared that it is. Please be patient with me, my Lord. I'm trying to describe how I feel about you but I can't, how can one word devotion? I think It's impossible. So I'll say it in layman's terms; I love you. I'm aware I've said it before, and I hope you know it is not romantic, but I do love you. I'm sure you understand what I mean, so many have been devoted to you, I am just one. You truly do amaze me my Lord, and I'd like to thank you once again. But this time, for showing me that devotion, this, doesn't have to be scary. I thank you for being so gentle and so kind. I don't even remember what I was writing this whole thing for, so I'll just finish up now. I love you, I miss you, and I hope you stick around. Love, Alec"

Something I wrote to Apollon

"Hello Lord Apollon, I'd like to apologise. I've been scared of you in all honesty and I don't know why. I'm not even sure scared is the right word; nervous or intimidated maybe? Probably a mix. I think it is your power, Lord, witn so many domains, and so many devoted followers, I suppose my fear cmes from the sheer size that your worship takes place. This is by no means a bad thing, simply something that has made me hesitate before saying your name. I suppose I'm overwhelmed easily. I have heard many many lovely things about you Lord, and I don't doubt for a moment their sincerity - yet still, I hesitate. I want to change this, and I ask for your guidance in doing so. I will write a formal prayer afterwards, I am just letting you know now. I think my hand just doesn't want to stop writing - this is up your alley isn't it? Anyway, I hope you are well, and I hope this messge comes across as I meant it, and I hope I may see you again Lord. Lots of love, Alec."

Yes I did write a formal prayer after asking for guidance from Him; however I won't make you all read on too longer.

I have also: - sobbed to Lady Hestia my fears about life and the future - told Lord Ares my fears + phobias - sat in silence with Lady Aphrodite as I pondered my insecurities - cried to Lord Ares about my fear of abandonment

I hope that me sharing some of these vulnerable moments I've had with deities, eases worries about doing so yourself. The gods love you; it's okay to open up to them if you feel you want to, they understand. Anyway, I hope you are all well. Please, take care of yourselves.

(Also, let me know what you think about being called 'dreamers'!)

Khaire friends, and sweet dreams 💙

Hellraiser - After all, YOU made me!

As I have said before - Elliot Spencer really brought that split personality disorder to a whole new level. Having dinner with both of them same time might be quite entertaining. Would they always agree about everything ? Politics? Music? Amount of sugar in coffee? Kinks in bedroom? If only people, who use cube see Hell priest, would he able like cheat in poker by letting his other self look what hand everyone else in table has?

On March 8th 1936 Oor Wullie and The Broons made their first appearance in the Sunday Post.

Jings , Crivven’s, and Help ma boab!! All words synonymous with oor we dungaree wearing hero.

Wullie and his gang have been keeping boredom at bay for decades in the typical Scottish town of Auchenshoogle.

The rascal has become an icon sitting on an upturned bucket in his famous dungarees as he plans the latest pranks and japes.

Fat Bob, Soapy Soutar, Wee Eck, Primrose (and don’t forget Jeemy the mouse) all join in the fun, with Wullie’s Ma, Pa and poor old PC Murdoch also playing starring roles.

Some famous faces have appeared in the strip over the years including Nicola Sturgeon, Ewan McGregor, Andy Murray and Amy Macdonald.

A 2004 survey voted Wullie ‘Scotland’s Favourite Son’, beating William Wallace, Sean Connery and Rabbie Burns in the top four

Everyone knows the Broons. Hen is still the tallest beanpole in Scotland, Joe’s still flexing his muscles, Maggie’s still as gorgeous as ever, Daphne’s still trying to get a man, Horace is constantly swotting and the never-named Twins are always up to mischief. And that’s not forgetting the brainiest Bairn in Scotland, the ever youthful Granpaw and heads of the whole clan - matriarch Maw and put-upon Paw.

Although they’ve only ever appeared in the pages of the Dundee-based Sunday newspaper, the annuals - which alternate year about between Oor Wullie and The Broons - are still flying off the shelves faster than Granpaw’s false teeth during a toffee apple eating contest.

The annuals are always in the top ten Christmas bestsellers at booksellers Waterstone’s.

While the two strips adhere to the traditional format there have been some changes over the years, not all go down well, like when hen they tried printing the comics strips in colour the 90s, Michty me! There were shoals of complaints from readers and they had to go back to black and white In the most recent annuals, Horace gets a makeover and is mistaken for Harry Potter, while other characters are seen clutching mobile phones, checking e-mails on laptops, singing on karaoke machines and watching satellite TV.

It’s Sunday, so I want to take a moment to unwind from this week, and reset for the next one.

I'd like to share a little breathing technique that I've learned; 4 seconds breath in (through nose), 4 seconds hold, 4 seconds breath out (through mouth).

You can repeat this cycle as many times as you want / need, but some people only like to repeat it four times.

It's reffered to as the '4-4-4 method', 'box breathing', or 'square breathing', among other names. It can help reduce stress and can really help with focus. I know I personally use it when I'm anxious about something, usually before a driving lesson (driving freaks me out and I get all shaky and start zoning out, not good, I know).

"People with high stress jobs, such as soldiers and police officers, often use box breathing when their bodies are in fight, flight, or freeze mode. This technique is also relevant for anyone interested in recentering themselves or improving their concentration." -https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321805#breathing-and-health - here is a full article on box breathing! “It allows you to slow your breath, and it also has an aspect of meditation,” Dr. Young says. “As you’re breathing, you’re also silently counting, which is a kind of mantra meditation that, again, calms the nervous system and brings you into the present moment.” -https://health.clevelandclinic.org/box-breathing-benefits - another good article on box breathing!

Of course you aren't limited to only using this (or any) breathing technique when you're stress - it may be a good habit to get into!

I'm gonna leave you guys with a little quote;

"Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly." - Franz Kafka

And with that, I hope you all have a wonderful day / night, and may Hypnos bless those in need of plentiful slumber, and may Pasithea help you find the time to sit down and rest your eyes.

Sweet dreams 💙

KIRSTY: No! You… You can't! It wasn't me…I didn't do it! I didn't open the box! FEMALE CENOBITE: Didn't open the box. And what was it last time? Didn't know what the box was. And yet we DO keep finding each other, don't we? PINHEAD: Oh, Kirsty; so eager to play, so reluctant to admit it. FEMALE CENOBITE: Perhaps you're teasing us. Are you teasing us?

To Your Neverland

If the sky was a giant canvas,

I would paint a portrait of you

With the stars,

Not with the clouds which form

Majestic shapes-

Clear to the eyes.

Although I would like

the whole world to see it.

I’d still choose the stars,

That glints like hope on dark nights.

The kind of hope you’re to me.

I’d still choose the stars,

That sparkle the way your eyes do,

The way mine does when I think of you.

To love you is like admiring-

The reflection of the moon in a lake.

Moon that has almost fallen in it,

And I could hold it in my palms.

So, I would fill them with water-

To carry the moon in it.

But for how long could I hold it?

I know that the moon is far-far away,

Out of my reach.

Yet I look at it fondly,

And smile like the moon itself,

The crescent one.

When I come back home on a burning may afternoon,

And plop in the coolest corner of my room-

Under chilling air–

Sipping on ice-topped lemonade.

That’s the kind of comfort I feel with you.

Like chocolates and ramen-

My go-to comfort food when I feel low.

An instant remedy for happiness.

You are the only ray of moonlight,

That could somehow reach me,

At the depths of the sea.

A blessing given to me when I told God,

To give me what he thinks is best–

When I did not know what to pray for,

Thinking I had all I could ever ask for.

So what if you are in such a land,

I've known through newspapers.

A Neverland lost in the course of history.

I am searching for pixie dust–

So I could fly like Peter Pan

To Your Neverland.
