#hellenistic gods

Finalised Dionysus designs for my comic centred around him, which is called Frenzy, and I’ll begin soon. Plus bonus Hera again. She and Dio do not get along. It started with him being yet another illegitimate child of Zeus and escalated when he found out what happened to Semele.

You a good fan and appreciator of Greek culture and mythology is going on a long trip, it will be hours inside a bus, because of something you have to change sits and sat next to a person, you two start talking and you eventually mentions your love for Greek mythology, the person smiles excitedly saying:

"You like Greek mythology, I love Greek mythology I'm a huge fan of..."

For example, if I'm connected to Bast, what if I'm having a hard time determining if she is communicating w me through meditation or some sort of sign or synchronicity, or whether it's Djehuty or a different ancestor or an Elemental.

Or I feel connected most to Venusian feminine energies similar to Oshun-clearly an initiated Ifa diviner is what would help me in whether or not Oshun is communicating w me and what she's saying but what would help me determine if I am perceiving Aphrodite's energy as opposed to Isis or Hathor? Other than just my intuition and Knowing.

((what’s this? me? posting more than once a month??))

thought i’d show y’all my altar for Apollo. i cleaned it and rearranged it after a few months of neglect (we love depression) anyways The Wall is a collage of pictures i found on google that represent Him. the statues are pretty obvious, it’s Apollo in all his glory (and his Thicc Leggies oh the power of divinity). there’s a sunflower because He’s the sun god and also His boyfriend got turned into a flower (i couldn’t find any Aesthetic™️ hyacinth photos). the lure because He’s the god of music and i’m a musician so sometimes we jam together. the arrows represent His prowess with a bow but also plague as in the Trojan War (i think), Apollo fires plague ridden arrows into the Trojan camp to weaken His opponents. and finally the raven/humanoid down the bottom is meant represent His messenger ravens because when i first started getting a feeling that someone/thing was looking out for me there were several ravens/crows (i can’t tell the difference) nearby when my brain immediately jumped to Apollo.

yeah so that’s all i have the energy to do right now so Apollo, you’re welcome please let me sit in a warm sunbeam soon i miss you warmth (it’s been wet and gloomy for the past week or so)

And... I got... Aphrodite? I rolled my eyes and set about to dismiss it as a clearly faulty quiz because me? With Aphrodite the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility? I'm not even particularly water inclined. But...

But.. this nagging thought kept poking me. What if it was right? What would that mean? What would Aphrodite want from someone like me? The answer was a calm clear: Love yourself, care for yourself, put your needs on the to do list.

So I did. And these last few weeks have been interesting. I actually remember to work out, to care for my hair and skin, to record what I'm eating and make sure it's nurishing me not just filling me.
