Who Told You That Goddesses Were Thin?

P E R S E P H O N E                          Queen of the Underworld

I wanted pomegranates— I wanted darkness, I wanted him. So I grabbed my king and ran away to a land of death, where I reigned and people whispered that I’d been dragged. I’ll tell you I’ve changed. I’ll tell you, the red on my lips isn’t wine.

I’m sorry, but

If you think the Theoi are abusive: shut up.

Because I have found nothing but love, kindness, help, and joy in my gods, and if you think, even for a second, that those gods are abusive, take a step back and ask yourself why you worship them. Because you shouldn’t be staying in an “abusive” relationship, I don’t care of you think they’re going to smite you. They don’t deserve your crap.

Stop saying that the gods of my religion are abusive, because they’re not. The same gods of hospitality, help, averting harm, and protection don’t care enough to be abusive towards you or anyone else.

They are all powerful, and above human spite and hatefulness. They get angry, sure, maybe ignore your offerings or stop helping you for a while, but they don’t abuse you, and the only way to get them mad at you is if you really mess up.

And if you think pushing you to do your best is abusive, (in a nonharmful manner) then I’m sorry, but you can leave.

Why do people obsess over Greek GODS

Artemis: a queen, one who shuns the presence of men. Ruler of the night sky and the hunt, she doesn’t give a flying fuck about your gender roles. Women can be single. Women can be hunters.

Athena: a scheming, cunning, genius woman, Athena is the mastermind behind every battle. Goddess of both wisdom AND war. Women can be smart. Women can be warriors.

Aphrodite: a gorgeous woman, beautiful beyond belief, she was married off to a man she did not love. She refused her husband, and is with the chaotic man she truly loves. She loves romance novels and tragic love stories without your permission or stereotypes. Women can be independent. Women can be beautiful. Women don’t have to love you because you say so.

Persephone: she is Queen of hell and goddess of springtime, drawing the line between death and rebirth. She loves her husband and mother, but refuses to let anyone tell her who to be or where to go. Women can be sweet. Women can be brutal. Women can be complicated.

Hera: a practical woman, she is the goddess of marriage, her husband is always off fucking mortals. And she always makes sure he pays for it. This doesn’t stop her from being a fair queen, even more of a ruler than her husband. Women can be powerful. Women make their own choices.

Demeter: a farm girl at heart, she rules the harvest, her mere emotions causing the seasons. Her daughter eloped with the god of death, and she misses her every day. She loves her loyal farmers and the crops they tend. Women can be nurturing. Women can be depressed.

Hestia: a goddess of small renown, Hesta gave up her spot on the council to Dionsynius to keep order. She is the goddess of the hearth and home, fire and family. She represents the controlled chaos of a fire in the fireplace or a family in their home. Women can be sacrificing. Women don’t need to be super to be important. Women can be chaotic.

Enough with this patriarchal Greek society. We all know who really ruled Olympus.

“Suicide Is Not The Answer”

Requested by @typewritergirl360

If you feel like ending your life is the only answer, keep this sigil with you and please talk to somebody

I truly and wholeheartedly believe that Hestia wants you to put your mental and physical health first.

That if you must choose between resting/recovering or worshiping - that she would want you to take care of yourself.

There’s no need to feel guilty about being lax in worship - she understands.

And worship can be little things, like whispering “goodnight my lady” or making a cup of tea in honor of her.

But yeah - never feel guilty about choosing self care over worship, especially when it comes to Hestia 🔥

A Love Mantra

Can be used for self love or finding true love. You don’t need anything to cast, but you can use white, pink or red candles or incense/ oils related to love. Or, as the title suggests, use this as a mantra and repeat it as often as desired.

Love is true Love is real Love is joy and never hate Fill me light Fill me with hope Never to doubt what’s in my heart Always sure of my intent.With highest hopes And shadows gone,I cast out doubt And fill with life.
