To the Gods you are not sinful, guilty or unclean. You are you, unique in every facet of your existence.

The Gods hold grace for you. Existence is not immoral.

*grabs you and shakes you but gently cause I love you* you do not need to be ‘called’ to worship the gods. Just worship. Please just worship if it is what your heart wants.

Hephaestus :D

(yesterday i hadn't eaten all day and then at around 10pm i had a bunch of sugar and the inspiration to draw this hit me like a freight train. The orange side is scarring from when he was thrown off Olympus. His cane is robotic and powered by ichor. He's permanently bent to the side.)

"...and everywhere, all of us have need of Zeus."

Aratus - Phaenomena

[theladyoflove]

possibly controversial opinion, however, I am extremely wary of how people in witchy & pagan spaces are beginning to spiritualise ‘inner child work’. For those unknowing, inner child is a psychotherapy & IFS concept that seeks to provide therapy via metaphorical ‘parts’—the idea is that all of us have ‘parts’ that operate like a family unit. I won’t go into too much detail because I myself am not a licensed therapist, my biological mother is, but overall I am extremely wary of people trying to recommend courses/spells/rituals for a psychotherapy model especially without the guidance of someone actually trained in this. IFS can do serious damage even with a trained therapist, so why is it becoming a practice people are pushing as necessary in some spiritual spaces?

Prayer to Artemis for Joy in Oneself Alone

Wild-running Artemis, daughter of thundering Zeus, fleet-footed huntress, bright-hearted girl whose joy it is to roam the wood and flowered field, you hold the mountains as your own. Artemis, fair maid of the forest, I call out to you. In all things, O goddess, are you sovereign; in all ways do you uphold your own might. Artemis, friend of the maiden, friend of all who are sufficient to themselves, grant to me the joy of independence, the solace of self-reliance. May I treasure my solitude, O Artemis; may I sing with my own voice.
