Hello everyone, in today's announcement I would like to cover some changes I will be implementing regarding creating hymns and prayers. I have recently began working full time as a lifeguard hence the lack of inconsistency, little updates, and little to none activity on Tumblr and Discord. I have found little time to fully sit down and create hymns or even deity posts, just because they seem short and easy to create that is not the way it is for me. They are quite long and time consuming so as for today I am unable to with hold creating hymns and holding a solid schedule, that does not mean I do not want to however this job is incredibly time consuming, mentally, and emotionally as I have to save people almost everyday and always remain on edge. Thank you for reading.

Kekrops was the first man to offer sacrifices to the goddess Athena after her birth from the head of Zeus and he established her ancient shrine on the Akropolis. When Poseidon disputed her claim to the city, Kekrops was asked to adjudicate and ruled in her favour. He was succeeded on the throne by Athena's foster-son, the earth-born hero Erikthonios (Erichthonius).

　 ༚ 𓏵 Sources + Notes .. theoi, britannica, Mythological Studies -# Some ancients referred the epithet diphuês to marriage, of which tradition made him the founder. The name of Cecrops occurs also in other parts of Greece, especially where there existed a town of the name of Athenae, such as in Boeotia, where he is said to have founded the ancient towns of Athenae and Eleusis on the river Triton, and where he had a heroum at Haliartus. Tradition there called him a son of Pandion. In Euboea, which had likewise a town Athenae, Cecrops was called a son of Erechtheus and Praxithea, and a grandson of Pandion. (Apollod. iii. 15. §§ 1, 5; Paus. i. 5. § 3.) From these traditions it appears, that Cecrops must be regarded as a hero of the Pelasgian race; and Müller justly remarks, that the different mythical personages of this name connected with the towns in Boeotia and Euboea are only multiplications of the one original hero, whose name and story were transplanted from Attica to other places. The later Greek writers describe Ceerops as having immigrated into Greece with a band of colonists from Sais in Egypt. (Diod. i. 29; Schol. ad Arist. Plut. 773.) But this account is rejected by some of the ancients.

𓈒　　　💗　　King　,　Prometheus　𖦹 ♰ ◞ Overview 　𓏏　His attempts to better the lives of his creation brought him into conflict with Zeus. Firstly he tricked the gods out of the best portion of the sacrificial feast, acquiring the meat for the feasting of man. Then, when Zeus withheld fire, he stole it from heaven and delivered it to mortal kind hidden inside a fennel-stalk. As punishment for these rebellious acts, Zeus ordered the creation of Pandora (the first woman) as a means to deliver misfortune into the house of man, or as a way to cheat mankind of the company of the good spirits. Prometheus meanwhile, was arrested and bound to a stake on Mount Kaukasos (Caucasus) where an eagle was set to feed upon his ever-regenerating liver (or, some say, heart). Generations later the great hero Herakles (Heracles) came along and released the old Titan from his torture.

Hello everyone here is the educational post about gods "reaching out".

NOTE: this is not to shit on anyone or any ideology you may have, i too use divination to see if a god is "reaching out" to me.

( About how to talk to the gods ) :🏛️

At first it may seem scary, complicated, or just hard to speak with the divine, but the truth is we tend to get in our heads about it. First I would like to mention communing with the gods can be as simple as sitting down and speaking with them, nothing fancy, nothing to worry about. I find it easier to remember nature is gods and nature is around humans / humans are nature.

What I mean by this is underneath the gods domains is all around us; Gaia is our Mother Earth, Helios the sun, Selene the moon, the winds the Anemoi, and so much more. We (humans) are apart of nature, we are nature. So just sitting down, looking outside of just relaxing and talking to them is still talking to the gods.

Previously I have spoken a lot about prayer, how it benefits, how to do it, etc. So, I’d like to briefly touch on it, religiously speaking prayer is to speak to a god or request something. When praying we call upon the domain, the epithet, and list descriptions of said being, it is to build a kharis and to make it clear who / what you are speaking to.

When praying in request you would leave an offering out, maybe some honey, wheat, or even libations (water) to them while speaking the request. Personally I find it best to say what the offerings are especially if they are action related for an example “I write an educated post for the gods in return I want xyz” its really simple and not strict as people like to make it out to be.

Secondly you can speak to the gods via altar and creating one for them

While the temple is the abode of the god and a space for the exhibition of offerings, the altar serves as the essential link between humanity and the divine – the locus par excellence of sacrifice

Cristina Lacerda Ribeiro M. & Carvalheiro Porto V. (2025) Sacrifices among the Ancient Greeks: Communion with the Divine

The altar is the connection between you and the god or gods you worship, it is what personifies their energy in the physical world. In ancient Greece people also looked at things in their day to day life as signs from the gods and future events.

Such signs could be birds in the sky or a spoken word between friends said at a particular moment or even a simple sneeze which might be interpreted as an auspicious or inauspicious omen.

𓈒　　　:heartpulse:　　Lady　,　Maia　𖦹 ♰ ◞ Overview 　𓏏　MAIA was the eldest of the Pleiades, the seven nymphs of the constellation Pleiades. She was a shy goddess who dwelt alone in a cave near the peaks of Mount Kyllene (Cyllene) in Arkadia where she secretly gave birth to the god Hermes, her son by Zeus. She also raised the boy Arkas (Arcas) in her cave whose mother Kallisto (Callisto) had been transformed into a bear.

She is associated with the constellation Pleiades and sometimes shown in a cave setting, reflecting her role as a mountain nymph.

　𓏏　Worship / Devotional acts ︵｡ All nymphs, whose number is almost infinite, may be divided into two great classes. The first class embraces those who must be regarded as a kind of inferior divinities, recognised in the worship of nature. ♡ The early Greeks saw in all the phenomena of ordinary nature some manifestation of the deity; springs, rivers, grottoes, trees, and mountains, all seemed to them fraught with life; and all were only the visible embodiments of so many divine agents. The salutary and beneficent powers of nature were thus personified, and regarded as so many divinities; and the sensations produced on man in the contemplation of nature, such as awe, terror, joy, delight, were ascribed to the agency of the various divinities of nature. The second class of nymphs are personifications of tribes, races, and states, such as Cyrene, and many others. Learn about hermes and gaia, include nature worahip, milk, honey, wheat, constelation research, and learn about the Pleiades

　 ༚ 𓏵 Sources + Notes .. theoi, Greek Nymphs: Myth, Cult, Lore, greek mythology Aiskhylos (Aeschylus) apparently idenifies Maia "the nursing mother" with Gaia "the Earth." On several occassions he calls the earth-goddess Gaia Maia (Mother Earth) and pairs her with Hermes Khthonios ("of the Earth"). The month of May (Latin Maius) was supposedly named for Maia, though ancient etymologists also connected it to the maiores, "ancestors," again from the adjective maius, maior, meaning those who are "greater" in terms of generational precedence.

The figure of Khronos was essentially a cosmological double of the Titan Kronos (Cronus) ("Father Time"). The Orphics sometimes merged Khronos with the creator-god Phanes, and also equated him with the Titan Ophion. His equivalent in the Phoenician cosmogony was probably Olam (Eternal Time) whose name is written Oulomos in Greek transcripts.

Cronus and Khronos are two separate beings with different roles and worship.
