🎐 I tried putting it in Alphabetical Order, I probably failed loll but worth a try loll

Hades is the Greek God of the Underworld and King of the Underworld. He is the ruler of the dead and his domain is the Underworld. His name is sometimes thought to be “the Unseen One.” Hades is not the God of death and He doesn’t bring about death (the Greek god of death is Thanatos). He just rules the Underworld and is a stern ruler who oversees the trial and punishment of wicked souls. He presided over funeral rites and defended the right of the dead to due burial.

Hades is also the god of hidden wealth of the earth. He rules over the wealth from the soil and the mined wealth of gold, silver, and other metals. His Roman counterpart, Pluto, is the god of wealth because diamonds and jewels come from the underground.

The ancient people did not worship Hades and they actually feared Him and were even afraid to say his name. There is evidence of offerings being left in at one of Hades’ sacred sites in Ellis, where a priest left offerings in a temple once a year. It’s highly debated among scholars and archaeologists whether Hades was venerated or celebrated at the Eleusinian mysteries, which were performed for Hades’ wife, Persephone and her mother, Demeter.

Hades wanted a bride and asked Zeus to grant him one of his daughters. Zeus offered Persephone, the daughter of Demeter. But since he knew they would oppose to a marriage, he assented to the abduction of Persephone. There are others who believe that Persephone chose to go with Hades and followed him into the world to discover a new place and escape from her overprotective mother. It’s up to the practitioner what myth they prefer or believe in. Once Demeter found that Persephone was gone, she was furious and refused to care for the crops which caused a great winter to befall the earth. Zeus decided to get Persephone from the Underworld and reunite her with her mother, but they found out that Persephone ate 6 seeds, which meant she had to stay in the Underworld for 6 months of the year and the other 6 months, she’ll be with Demeter.

Prayer to Lord Hypnos to banish Insomnia (as promised)

Hear Lord Hypnos, Sweet God of Healing Slumber,

Thy Kimgdom of Poppies is my resting place tonight,

Make haste and bring me to Your Palace for I am in dire need or Deep Rest,

I have not been able to visit You as much as I would have loved to, because something out there is tampering with my desire to sleep.

Banish and keep away all negative energies, all evil vibrations, all spirits clinging to me in the Wakeness.

My body aches, my mind overthinks, my heart is burdened by mundane worries.

Allow me to ignore everything that might take me away from embracing You as I lay in my bed at night.

Blue are Your skies adorned with white fluffy clouds, purple is Your sun as it sets, red are the poppies that give sweet sleep and divine is Your care for me as I know You will not ignore my cry for help.

I beg of you rest my eyelids, make them heavy, make so I can't keep them open. Force my mind to reset and take a break so I can finally rest.

Praise be to you child of the Night and Darkness, Praise be to you Healling Rest, Praised by Thy Kingdom of Healing and Restauration!

If you so incline you can use this prayer I wrote which includes Lord Morpheus as well

This prayer was written by me, and is part of a series of prayers to recite when going through rough times. Everyone is going through the ringer right now, given the state of everything, so hopefully this can help you get through some tough things too. Enjoy!

Praise be to great Lord Hades, ruler of the underworld,

The fair judge of souls one meets upon death!

Your words are firm, and yet so gentle,

Like the tender mercy of death to the sickly,

And you provide for all in your kingdom,

Alongside all those who call your name in life.

For you are the great father,

The shepherd of the departed,

A good husband to your queen

And a fair ruler for the deceased within your care;

I pray to you, Lord Hades,

That you may guide me down a better path,

Like how Charon and Hermes guide souls to your realm;

Bestow upon me your wisdom

And share with me your tender blessings

As I cry out to you from this place of anguish. 

You are the ultimate comfort for us mortals,

A promise of life after death,

A sweet relief from the pains of living,

And so I trust you to help me out of this pit,

To take me by the hand and guide me to a better life,

For you, O Hades, are so kind to humanity

And take such good care of us both before and after death,

And for this I shall praise your name until the end of time!

Paid Readings

I'm trying something new!

Group 1:

Oh my, there seems to be a lot of loss here or at least some leaving behind something for the better. I’m also hearing there is a snake (not a literal one) that’s around you that may try to get in your way of leaving something behind. It’s like this person doesn’t want you to see you succeed or see joy in your life so they’re trying their best or maybe even attempting to sabotage that. That won’t be the case for everyone, for most of you, you left something behind on your own terms. Don’t let the pass keep you from moving on! When you are in a better place or I’m hearing state of mind, your body, mind and soul will feel at rest. You’ll be able to relax better and you’ll have the time to create new memories.

Group 2:

I heard a very loud “oooh” there could be some romance coming your way, this person could be very charming, could be young in age like early twenties and they could be very good looking. If not a lover potential gifts are on their way to you. This could very well be a new flame (lover) or this could spark some interest for you or this gift can spark something inside you. This is something you could have been dreaming about for a while, I’m hearing to soak it in and feel how great it feels! This card gives Hades vibe all around! There’s a fatherly figure here who would like to share his knowledge to you when it comes to this creative spark (if it is a creative spark) he can help you with its financials. However it is your decision to make if you want the guidance from this person.

Group 3

Spend some time with friends or your coven, enjoy making memories with them. Yes, there’s definitely going to be gatherings of some sort, it could be celebration of a birthday or a new season such as the spring equinox or this could be a new door opening for new ideas or opportunities in general. I’m hearing something about nurturing some of relationships, you need to take care of certain people or there’s the need to give love to certain people. There’s a few things here with the justice card, it’s let the truth speak for itself, justice will be served to those who need or speak your truth. Allow things to go with the flow, whatever is meant to be or stay in your life will show itself and those that aren’t meant to be or stay will show themselves out.
