I am so bad at posting these articles and series on here and I apologize. I feel like every time I come on here I have to add like five or six of these articles and info pages to it and I'm still not caught up with all the articles I have posted on there. As always I appreciate any support and or comments (respectfully) on what's posted. So this is the Fates:

The Fates, otherwise known as the Moirai, are three sisters who personify destiny and fate. They are often depicted as crazy old crones with one eye that they share between them. Each sister has a role to play in how a persons destiny is spun. Klotho is the spinner, or the one who weaves the yarn that represents ones entire life as well as their fate. Lachesis is the allotter, she measures the yarn and some say she is the one who truly controls a persons destiny. She ensures that someone's destiny runs as it should, as long as it should. Atropos is the last sister and she is the cutter. She represents death as she cuts the yarn when it is time for the person to die. Once the thread is cut the person meets their end.

There are many different lores about their parentage. In some lore their parents are Chronos, the titan of Time, and Ananke the personification of inevitability. This makes them the half-sisters to the original 6 Gods. In another myth, they were sired by Uranus, the primordial titan of the sky, with no known mother. Nyx is also cited as the parent to most personifications and the mother of these three.

Hello, little loves!! I'm so close to finishing the Hellenic Worship series before I move on to Egyptian or Norse. If anyone wants to see a specific deity I haven't done yet or has an opinion of the next series I do I'm open to anyone messaging me or hitting up my inbox to let me know, otherwise, I'm just assuming these are going out to the ether and continue posting them randomly for myself. So without further delay:

Erebus or Erebos is the Greek Primordial Personification of Darkness. He's not seen in many myths outside of the creation of the universe and is mostly seen as Nyx's husband. He is said, however, to be the darkness that lives between the living and the dead and helps cross the souls of the departed over to the Underworld.

Gems/Crystals: Black tourmaline, rose quartz

Animals: Dogs (especially black)

Plants: Rose, black lily, black hollyhock

Scents: Summer night air, smoke, rich Earthy tones

A very minor Goddess is up today. Epona is the Goddess of fertility and horses. She is actually a Celtic-based Goddess who was worshipped by the Romans as well. One of, if not The only Celtic Goddess to be worshipped by the Romans actually.

Her symbols are horses, horseshoes, grains, brown, and grey.

Okay so I did a bit of writing since I was last on here. I'm super bad with updating the posts on this site to make them more accessible since I know trying to look anything up on the site is a nightmare.

This article is on Nyx, the Primordial Goddess of Night, and personification of Darkness. She is said to be the mother of most of the personified gods and goddesses such as the Moirai, Eris, Moros, Hypnos, Nemesis, and Thanatos.

Her symbols are the moon, black feathers, onyx, black horses, ravens, Queen of the Night (flower), sage, dragon fruit, and dark blue.

Invocation of Nyx Nyx, great Goddess of the Night, lover of Erebus, mother of Moros, Thanatos, Hypnos, Charon, Nemesis, and the Fates, I ask you to accept my loyalty and my love as your follower and servant. I ask for your protection and guidance, bringer of the night, I ask for your wisdom and blessings.

Hello everyone! After a long hiatus, I am back with another addition to the Ways of Worship series! The newest deity in the spotlight is the Goddess Iris who is the Goddess of the rainbow, sea, sky, and messenger to the gods.

Symbols for Iris are rainbows, opal, rainfall, cheesecake, and birds.

She is considered the more popular messenger to the Gods throughout history but was replaced by Hermes from The Odyssey on in myths and Iris was left to her role as a very minor and hardly mentioned Goddess.
