MY PENDULUM FINALLY ARRIVED YIPPEE After I get used to it, I'm gonna use it to ask Apollo which one he would like more, the Cute Swan or the Goofiest Dolphin I Have Ever Seen

Aphrodite; Ares

There have been few days I've doubted my presence. I've been a brute with the face of an angel since I was eleven, but you— with hands made of clouds and stars and linen— you cup my face, tell me I'm beautiful...

A new beginning.

Every moment spent with with you is the start of a new dawn; a new age, a new step forward for the nerves of a trembling fawn, and you, with your smile like a thousand suns, lead me along the rigid path, and after every battle, claim that I've won.

Your heart is wider than the river styx. Sometimes I wonder, if I was less demanding, less broken, would you still let me in?

But those moments are left to fester. You can't weave a story spinning the tall tales of a tipsy minstrel.

I appreciate you for all you are, and you for all I'll ever be, and I'll love you until my heart gives out and you've no chance to stop me.

I'd move Olympus for one chance with you.

You and I, we're pieced together with glue.

You're stained glass, and I'm cracked spackle; and yet you never resist the urge to let me tackle you to the earth whenever I see fit.

Sometimes it makes me ponder..is that all there is to it?

To love, to war, to see, to soar, maybe all we need is a little bit more of

YOU.

Perhaps that's true.

My first E-offering

I dedicate this swan to Lord Apollon; may His light always guide me.

For altars or offerings, you can make boards on pinterest, OR what I enjoy more: a post on pinterest’s Shuffles app. you can make collages that way as a devotional act and the result is their offering.

It is nearing the end of the Hyakinthia.

Hyacinthus is represented as the purple hyacinth and Apollo as the swan, one of his symbols.

Purple hyacinths represent sorrow and desire for forgiveness. In ancient Hellenic art, Apollo was often shown as a swan when shown with Hyacinthus.

Hi, Im new to the Hellenic community and had a question about Aphrodite. I know her sacred animals are doves, sparrows, swans, rabbits and dolphins. But what about other rodents and aquatic animals like capybaras, turtles, octopus etc? Are there more I don't know about?

[seafoamaphrodite]

Hi, I wanted to ask what to do if I’ve become weirdly drawn to Aphrodite in last few weeks and keep seeing her everywhere (fyp, shops, random books) and I’m interested in hellenic gods and devotion but I don’t feel close to any concept associated with Aphrodite at all? Like I’m masculine, not interested in makeup/skincare/decoration, aroace not wanting relationship, dress very simple, etc

Ofc I can feel platonic love or appreciate beautiful things like all humans, but the whole concept of flirty feminine goddess of love and sex and fertility and beauty and pearls is just so foreign to me. Why am I so drawn to a goddess who’s kinda my opposite? How do I start connecting with her without doing the usual beauty stuff flowers pink crystals which people usually mention? And should I even try connecting with her if I don’t like her “aesthetic”?

Now I sound like some pick me girl lmao and sorry if I described her very stereotypically

Why I still insist on connecting with her is bc getting so many synchronicities is crazy, for example today I contacted a baker to order my custom birthday cake and asked to see examples of her works, and she sent Birth of Venus cake picture?? yk I believe that when I get signs I should follow them

hi there! my best advice to you would be to look into all of Aphrodite's epithets, myths, associations, and history. while Aphrodite is often associated with pink and flowers and feminine, this is not the only way to honor her.

take Aphrodite Areia for example. Aphrodite's "war-like" epithet could be associated with knives, blood, armor, and courage. Aphrodite Ourania evokes images of the stars, the ocean, divinity, and power.

Aphrodite is so much more than just a feminine love goddess, and I don't blame you for feeling pressured to conform to that. she is known as the goddess of love, beauty, and pleasure for a reason, and this often correlates with decadence and femininity. I would encourage you to find your own associations and go with your gut when it comes to offerings/worship.

try what works for you! do some research and go easy on yourself!

anyway here's some lesser-known Aphrodite associations that are less traditionally "feminine". you could use these for altar decor, offerings, or whatever!!

sea shells

sand

sea water (or salt water if you can't access the sea)

animal bones

feathers (she is often associated with doves and swans, but i give her all sorts of feathers lol)

bees

geese

apples

things you associate with love (gifts/photos from loved ones, things you associate with them, etc.)

cherub and angel imagery

knives

coins

any kind of jewelry

dolphins

and I will sign off by saying your relationship with the divine is completely personal. give yourself grace to try, explore, and learn new things. do what works for you 🐝🐬🕯️

Good afternoon!!

I’m searching for information on Zephyrus. Have you had any experience with him? If not that’s cool. I can’t seem find any followers of his.

Hey there!

Unfortunately, I do not worship Zephyrus nor do I have any experience with him. I did do some brief research about him for you, though!

I do, however, have some information that I can share that may help you! This is stuff I am finding online through various sources; I'm mostly trying to stick to historical sources.

Zephyrus

• Frankincense is a common offering for all Anemoi

• You can find hymns written to the Anemoi among the Orphic Hymns (hymn 80 is specifically for Zephyros)

• Zephyrus, the West Wind, is considered the gentlest of the four winds and is a bringer of spring, carrying seeds on his winds and warming up the earth

• Here is a prayer to the four winds, including one specifically for Zephyrus, that I found

• General Hellenic offerings that can be given to most gods (including Zephyrus) would include clean water, wine, milk, cheese, grains, fruits, veggies, olives, bread, meat, olive oil, and figs

• There are no historical festivals for Zephyrus (or any Anemoi), but people typically celebrate him with the coming of spring, specifically the spring equinox

• Offerings you can give to Zephyrus would be feathers (always clean ones found in nature first), flowers (especially those that bloom in spring), unripe fruits, swan imagery, horse imagery, and tiger imagery

• He is married to Khloris (Chloris), goddess of greenery, according to Ovid (the Dionysiaca also claims Iris, goddess of rainbows and messenger of Hera, to be his wife)

• His children are said to be Xanthos, Balios, Eros, Pothos, Areion, Karpos, literal tigers, and literal horses

• Some of his known epithets (based mostly on what I could find in the Orphic Hymn and Theoi.com's mentioned sources; I couldn't find the original Greek, so it's just in English, sorry) are Sea-born, Aerial, Unseen, Lightwinged, Richest of all Winds, Brightening, Nimble God of Wayside Shrines, Golden-haired, Rapid, Swift, Gentle, Kindly, Lightest of all Things, Storm-blowing, Blustering, Stormy, Straight-flown, Strongly Blowing, Light (as in "light as a feather"), Earth-born (gigantos; only translated word I found), and The Gentle Breeze

• I know this is a very over used source, but I highly recommend checking out Theoi.com s entry on Zephyrus for more information about him

----

Truthfully, this is all I can find. I'm also having a hard time finding any worshippers of his online, but maybe one of my followers will see this and reblog with additional information. If they do, I'll be sure to reblog it so that you can hopefully see the addition.

I hope this helps a little, at least, and I hope you have a good night/day! 🧡🌬️

If you don't mind, would you please do another request for me? , since you're the only Tumblr that writes for Saint Seiya that I know 🥺

So, when they are (Seiya,hyoga,shiryu,Shun,Ikki ) with their s/o, the s/o is still confused about what a saint is, what a gold saint is and everything related to that🥲.

The s/o was silent for a moment while blinking her eyes, then smiled innocently and said "wanna some cookies/cake?" Because s/o doesn't know how to respond and still remembers some handsome men she met after visiting the sanctuary (because s/o is curious)

I love you 💋

This emoji cake is for you

🍰

Here I'm not going to divide it into characters, but into dubs. You see, in Latin Spanish, the Saints and Saint Pope were changed to "Knights and the Great Patriarch" so both situations can be interesting. I'm sorry if it's not exactly what you wanted, but I feel they were going to do almost the same result in all of them. That and to make it more interesting, I'll add some lore from my Saint Seiya au (it's not much, it's something I've already repeated in some asks).

Thanks for the cake, it made me hungry already jsjsjs And don't worry, I have no aks limit.

“Saints and the Holy Pope.” --- So they're Catholic? --- Seiya looked confused at Ikki, who could only shrug his shoulders. For his part, Shun was biting slower at the cookie in his mouth, hoping it could spare him his turn to explain. Hyoga wanted to scream and Shiryu was trying to keep the swan saint from blurting out some slur. For your part, you were still confused, and your friends' expression wasn't helping you feel any better. --- Did you know that the word saint is not only related to the Catholic religion? --- Seiya answered confidently, only for Ikki to shake his head --- Wait, it does have to do with Christianity, so why does Athena…? --- Well, gods don't reincarnate either, they just possess. I think someone was very sleepy the day he started putting terms in. --- So you're Catholics? --- Hyoga's exasperation made you jump, positioning yourself behind Shun, who put his arm around you to protect you. --- No one is Catholic here. --- Hyoga looked like he was going to explode at any moment, one more word and he seemed to freeze everything in front of him --- We are saints of Athena, with the energy of the cosmos. Trained hard from a very young age and sent into the cruelest of battles. --- You mean you are pagans? ---… yes, something like that, Hellenic I think would be the right word. --- Shiryu answered. --- Although I wouldn't blame you if you said we are pagan Catholics or pagan Catholics, that Saint Pope stuff does confuse the first time --- Shun's words, as always, cheered you up and made you feel better.

""Knights and Grand Patriarch."" --- I don't want to insult you guys, but that sounds like a cult and a very dangerous one --- the faces around you seemed to freeze for a few seconds, before giving way to the funniest faces you could have ever seen: Seiya couldn't help but open his mouth, Ikki had his eyes like a plate while Shun was biting his lips. For their part, Shiryu and Hyoga seemed to be pondering your words --- I mean, I know you all explained a lot of terms to me that made me quite dizzy…. --- Seiya explains his ass off. --- Ikki replied, causing Seiya to frown.

--- That's not true! --- bellowed the pegasus knight.

--- You called the Island of Death “Island of the Dead Queen”, you can't be trusted!

--- Hey, if you put it like that about the cult and the knights… it does fit. --- Hyoga muttered to himself --- I mean, yes, the gods are real and so is the cosmos… but their methods are just like cultists.

--- Except for master Dohko --- replied Shiryu

--- Are you sure he is also an exception? I mean, not all cults use the “hit Ikki hard” method.

--- Wouldn't it be more objective to say that the Graude Foundation is the cult and the knights are just people who took in orphans? --- Shun asked.

--- I don't think so, the Foundation would then be a means to gather followers. --- you questioned

--- Sect or not, the point is that we are knights of Athena. And we have to protect the world with our cosmos.

--- Mainly the reincarnation of Athena.

--- … but Greek gods don't reincarnate. The Hindus do, and the closest thing to reincarnation, in Europe, are the Celts. Either they are lying to you or Athena had help from other gods, therefore, there are Celtic gods and/or Hindus.

--- … you said you didn't understand anything --- Seiya criticized, which made you cross your arms in response. --- At least I'm not in a cult for not asking the right questions. --- and so you and Seiya started a new discussion.

Bonus: 1737 --- What you said doesn't make any sense at all, why would you go with foreign warriors, what does a demigod have to do outside of her homeland? --- Ada could only laugh at your comment, but you didn't share the sentiment.

--- I just want to see how they fight, it's different from our style --- you could tell the redhead was trying to calm you down, but her attempts almost bordered on the absurd in your mind. --- Besides, my older brothers are here, I don't think father and earth will miss me with intensity.

--- It's because of a boy, isn't it? I saw the ones in golden armor, varied beauty, it's because of one of them, isn't it? --- Ada could only look at you in confusion.

--- No, not at all, I just want to know how they think. What is that thing they call cosmos, why do they shout their attacks, why don't they use weapons, why don't they transform? I want to know… --- sigh, lying down next to you --- Aren't you curious too? --- I feel like they're just like the Keltois, only foreign. I don't understand the excitement. --- You mumble. --- What if you come with me?! --- I won't die in the name of another god! Lugh protects us, I mean, your father protects us! --- … You want me to explain what they are again, don't you?

---Please.
