Zeus, Refuge for the Refugee. Father of the fatherless. Haven for strangers and friend of the outcast. Shelter us with your all-encompassing splendor and guard us with your power.

FATHER ZEUS ✿

when he shows up ╭✦╮

⊹ When it rains, whenever I do something that scares me like taking a stand, anytime I'm lonely and need to know that everything will be okay even if isn't right now <3

how he entered my practice╭✦╮

⊹ I don't exactly remember, but he reached out to me when I was struggling to trust my own abilities. I started by worshipping him in his role as a king and leader and that slowly morphed into something else

what is he like (for me)╭✦╮

⊹ so loving!! In his fatherly aspects he reminds me of the moment right before it rains when you can sense the rain, and you know the Earth is rejuvenating. In his king aspects, he is more electric. The same electricity that runs through your bones before an important presentation

what is my favourite moment so far╭✦╮

⊹ A few months ago! I don't remember exactly when, but I was going through a rough patch with my mental health dealing with flashbacks on a daily and the constant rain was making it worse. I prayed for it to stop raining, and it didn't rain for the next two days. There is a chance this was a co-incidence, but the forecast said rain and it didn't rain. It was just a really strong reminder that he cares

one song that reminds me of him╭✦╮

⊹ his playlist is a lot shorter than my other deity playlists, but my top song for him is daylight by david kushner.

pov: hellenic pagans seeing another viral post calling father zeus a pervert or r*pist

Father Zeus, one of your epithets translates to The Refuge. Please please please if we've ever pleased you, become the refuge and protect all those souls that are currently in danger because of the Huricanes. You're all-mighty and hold an immesurable power, please from the bottom of my heart, help them.

[thundering-zeus]

welcome !

hi, I'm Nike and I use she/they pronouns :)

☆ I'm primarily a Hellenic polytheist, but I include Christianity in my worship ☆ I worship Lady Hestia, Lord Apollon, Father Zeus, Mother Athene, Jesus Christ, and God + I honour other gods, Mother Mary, and the saints ☆ I understand that my practice is heretical, but please do not bring hate to this page. ☆ My asks and DMs are open; my replies might not be the fastest, but I will reply ☆ I organise my worship using side blogs @an-ode-to-olives -> for Mother Athene @the-lyre-and-the-raven -> for Lord Apollon @thundering-zeus -> for Father Zeus @for-the-love-of-hestia -> for Lady Hestia

thank you so much for reading, and I hope you have a blessed day <3

Praise to Hera

O’ divine Mother, Queen Hera—protector of men and women; I offer my praise to you. 

Bright and fair-eyed Hera; Beloved Goddess of the skies,  She who blesses marriage and protects women in child labor,

I praise you. 

Queen Hera, guardian of the streets of Argos, of the blue clear waters of Samos, of the oldest temple of Olympia, I praise and honor you.

Divider by @/vibeswithrenai I don't worship Hera, but I'm reading "Hera" by Jennifer Saint and feel that I need to give her some praise lmao. It's awkward since I don't know her, but I hope it's ok 🦚

“But, since this is some poor wanderer who has come to us, we must now take care of him, since all strangers and wanderers are sacred in the sight of Zeus, and the gift is a light and a dear one.”

- The Odyssey, translated by Lattimore

[thundering-zeus]

Zeus is a wonderful God! (Aka he and his worshippers don't deserve hate, ever) I mostly worship him as Ktesios and Astrapaios but he's many things:

Zeus is a god of fate, of law and justice.

Zeus is a protecter, he is a king, he is a god of hospitality who protects fugitives, strangers and all who need it.

He is a just and fair God (even if we can't see it), he is the lightning, the thunder and the rain.

He is, many things but he is: The Good God

[thundering-zeus]

I finally set my altar for Queen Hera and it's perfect. 😭

[thundering-zeus]

[thundering-zeus]

wow, Zeus really feels like a proud father encouraging you to continue walking down the path you've decided to choose
