Apologies for the late post but I wanted to come on here and share my appreciation for the fathers amongst the gods as well as the fathers in the mortal world.

Fatherhood in all forms is not confined to one particular shape or story. In myth, we see it expressed through protection and destruction, through wisdom and distance, through sacrifice and creation. Some of our divine fathers are gentle teachers, guiding their children with patience and quiet strength. Others forces of change, uncompromising and sometimes difficult to understand until we look back and see how we were shaped by them.

And as it is in the heavens, it too shall be on earth.

To the fathers who choose to be there, even when it’s hard, your presence matters. To those who are learning as they go, breaking cycles, choosing softness where they were not given any, you are doing sacred work. And to those who carry the weight of fatherhood in ways unseen or unacknowledged, your efforts are not invisible.

There are also those who father in spirit rather than biology, there are mentors, guardians, step-parents, and chosen family who step into that role with care. These are the fathers who remind us that family is not only blood, but also love, responsibility, and choice.

After much divination, contemplation and research I have concluded that I'm being reached out to by Lord Thanatos!

This makes a lot of sense to me as I am an apprentice mortician/funeral director and have always felt connected to the concept of death.

As a devotee of Ares, I personally elect to wear some shade of red every Tuesday as my way of paying tribute to him on his sacred day of the week.

As I end the semester I wanted to show off the three altars I've had in my dorm all year!
