Dionysus design!

Classicstober day 31: Hecate💫🔮🗡️🌛

My faith in the gods comes in waves. There are times when I feel so dedicated, so full of love that I get emotional just thinking about the gods. Then there are other times where I feel so disconnected to them that they may as well solely be the statues on their altars - unknowable.

I've come to realize that it's ok for my faith to be so inconsistent. It's not required for us to have 100% of our faith 100% of the time. The gods understand that, like most things in life, faith comes in wave, receding back just to return in full force soon after.

So, it's ok if you feel disconnected. It's ok if you feel faithless. Give yourself time, and things will improve.

just heard the news about the Pope.

Eternal Rest grant unto him O Lord, and may Your Perpetual Light shine upon him.

God allowed him one more Easter with the people before calling him home to the Risen Lord ❤️‍🩹

Isn't it actually so beautiful that deities take the time to try and guide and teach us? How wonderful is it that they care for us so deeply that they'd share their wisdom, knowledge, and insight so freely? I think a deity's love is something to be cherished, and I cherish this. 🧡✨

I've always loved how they loved

Linked in arms, dance with me. Wine was spilt, not for three. More for two, two linked in hand. Hand-in-hand, watch them go. Laughter like grapes, complex like vines. They dance to their own design. Around the fire, through the woods. Calm mundane moments, love not misunderstood. Hand-in-hand, linked in embrace.

{ for Dionysus and Ariadne }

hot take but don’t “blessed be”, “my gods are blessing you”, “i will pray for you to my gods” ANYONE unless they explicitly ask for it or have said it is okay.

if some christian came up to you and said “god bless you. i’ll pray for you” there’s a 98% chance you’d feel uncomfortable so why is it okay for you to do the same thing to someone else just because you don’t worship the christian god?
