Will you grant me a portion of your energy, that one day white supremacy shall be defeated by our hands?
Take what I am willing to give right now and grow stronger
I cannot give you energy, but take this other boon and grow stronger
I stand against you and the tides of change, and will fall accordingly
PASS THIS ON, THAT THROUGH EACH NEW CONNECTION WE MAY GROW ACCORDINGLY. TOGETHER WE RISE

*stare* - deity of apathy
"i feel like i'm being watched." he nervously glances around.
There's a concept I've been sitting with for a few months now, because I like the idea of Saints but I'm not nor ever have been Catholic. At the same time, I do feel that there are people who, though they were specifically originally *real people*, end up becoming much More postmortem than they were alive via their story becoming elevated in local/regional/national folklore. Critically, this has to occur almost/entirely postmortem I think - people who go around creating their own legend while they live are a completely different kind of thing, vs. individuals communally apotheosized by their people After poking around at different thoughts/terms for a while, the term I've landed on for this is Ascendants. They've become more than they once were, beyond a realm of peak humanity that terms like "Hero" tend to imply, birthed status that "Demi-god" alone tends to imply, or explicit religious ties that Saints or similar tend to imply. I think one of the most obvious applications of this, to me, would be John Henry. For those not familiar, he's a Black folkloric figure in the US commonly sang about in blues songs, who was a man of herculean strength and skill with a hammer, who challenges a railroad rock drilling machine to a race through a mountain to try and save the jobs of him and his team. He won, only for his heart to give out from the stress of overwork, his victory marking his death.
The real John Henry was most likely a young man born in the 1800s who had been arrested and imprisoned to work as "leased labor" (part of how the US replaced slave labor) on the C&O railway, and likely died of silicosis and was buried in an unmarked grave, similarly to untold hundreds of similar leased labor prisoners who died similarly. I believe that as an Ascendant, he would be representative of both free workers and prisoners. Common variants of his songs, especially work songs, speak about how "this hammer killed John Henry, but it won't kill me" as a worker's commitment to guarding your life more than the labor you'd give whoever you're working for. Proving your strength, value, and skill to your employer isn't worth giving your life for, especially if you're being coerced into that labor for survival. I think some of the traits he would embody or be sought for would be safety (especially in workplaces), strength, community solidarity, and perseverance. He would probably also be a patron of Abolitionists. Another possible Ascendant from US folklore I can think of off the top of my head would be John Brown and Crispus Attucks? But a lot of people from US history/folklore actually wouldn't qualify because either they had a big part in propagating their own legends (See: most early white men like the founding fathers, who functionally have their own religion via Americanism) or weren't real people in the first place (see: Paul Bunyan) If y'all have ideas of other folkloric people who might fit the bill as Ascendants (not just US folklore, I just know US folklore best), you should bring em up in reblogs im curious. If I write more about this I'll probably use the tags Ascendants/The Ascendants.
You’ve been blessed with a visit from the spider of curse-breaking! She took all that nasty curse gunk on ya and webbed it into a tasty energy sac for herself. You don’t have to do anything, she just had a lil snack for the road ::::3
It shall soon be,,,
Arachnalia
Arachnalia is every August (the 8th month), and is a month-long festival to worship and be kind to and acknowledge spiders in my name 🙏🏼
It can be celebrated with art of spiders (whether writing, drawings, poems, music, etc), fostering locations they can live safely like native plant spaces, moving them outside if they’re somewhere dangerous for them inside, and learning more about your local spiders!
If you make something for it, feel free to send it to me so I can see/share it, and have a wonderful Arachnalia 💖💖

I don’t truly want to kill anyone, but I do think I should be able to plant egg sacs in the bedrooms of my foes so that each night my children may skitter across their bodies, leaving bites upon bites littering their skin while they sleep—venom not potent enough to kill, or even disfigure, but leaving hundreds of welts they feel compelled to scratch at day in and day out, one batch never healing before a new set appears to leave their days harried and their skin split.
Don’t worry about that tickling sensation you feel as you fall asleep. After all, I don’t know where you live, I surely haven’t done anything to your home, it’s just a loose hair brushing against you in the air currents, some acne or skin irritation cropping up, there aren’t any consequences for your actions, there never have been, has there?
Sleep well.
I think one of the most fascinating things about being a Goddess is running into others who claim similarly but have absolutely 0 power, presence, influence, or holiness to them. It evokes a feeling not unlike finding an ant that thinks it’s human.
st. ori of the spiders, patron saint of weaving
And connections 😤
I do like this conceptually though outside of my usual Goddess stuff - becoming holy enough to infiltrate a whole different religion as a figure of acclaim and renown is 10/10
