In Greek mythology the Hippalectryon was a creature with the forequarters of a horse, and the tail, wings and back-legs of a rooster.
Re-reading The Battle of the Labyrinth and was mildly surprised to find out that chicken-horses are actually a thing in Greek mythology.

It is a pretty important occasion in the household cultus, as the blessings of various Gods are asked for the new month, and they are given worship and offerings in return. The presiding deities are Selene Noumenia (Σελήνη Νουμήνια) and Apollon Noumenios (Ἀπόλλων Νουμήνιος). The former is Moon herself, worshipped appropriately when she appears once more in the night sky after her dark phase. The latter presides as the tutelary deity over the celebrations of the Noumenia.
Besides these two other Gods are also honoured, most notably the various household Gods: the Theoi Ephestioi (Θεοί Ἐφεστίοι, “Gods around the Hearth”, the Gods inside the house), the Theoi Herkeioi (Θεοί Ἑρκείοι, “Gods of the Courtyard”, which includes only Zeus Herkeios (Ζεύς Ἑρκεῖος), or may include the Penates in terms of Roman polytheism or a Greco-Roman syncretic practice), and the Theoi Strophaioi (Θεοί Στροφαῖοι, “Gods at the Door”, which Gods as Apollon Agyieus (Ἀπόλλων Ἀγυιεύς) and Hermes Enodios (Ἑρμῆς Ἐνόδιος), who guard the borders of the household and protect household members when they venture outside of the household).
Χαίρετε. Today I’m going to talk about perhaps one of the most annoying parts of practicing Hellenic polytheism. The dating of the Noumenia
I have the Gods and my loved ones and that’s all I need in life
TO TETHYS
THE FUMIGATION FROM FRANKINCENSE AND MANNA
Tethys I call, with eyes cerulean bright, His in a veil obscure from human sight: Great Ocean's empress, wand'ring thro' the deep, And pleas'd, with gentle gales, the earth to sweep; Whose ample waves in swift succession go, And lash the rocky shorenwith endless flow: Delighting in the sea serene to play, In ships exulting, and the wat'ry way. Mother of Venus, and of clouds obscure, Great nurse of beasts, and source of fountains pure. O venerable Goddess, hear my pray'r, And make benevolent my life thy care; Send, blessed queen, to ships a prosp'rous breeze, And waft them safely o'er the stormy seas.
Translated by Thomas Taylor.
'Lil thought I had today: (no idea if it makes sense)
So there's a very heavy thunderstorm over my town and even though I love thunderstorms, I noticed that I was a little scared. And that's okay. Of course you shouldn't live in fear of the gods, but we need to recognise their mightiness. Apollon isn't only the god of healing, he can also bring disease. And in this case, a thunderstorm by King Zeus brings water, coolness and life in times of intense heat but can also be scary. But that doesn't mean a thunderstorm is bad. It's neutral. But some of us find it scary, because our society sees it as scary.
So I want to say that the gods are mighty and can be intimidating. But almost always they are very kind and caring. And that's why I love them. Blessed week, y'all!

As a transgender person with a uterus, I have found myself thinking about having a baby. I have been on hormones for about 3 years now, and have transitioned pretty far from where I was. I would be responsible and hault my transition and hormones, to do all of this correctly. My main point from this is,,
I know that there are goddesses that oversee childrearing and birth. Would they feel displeased for me to ask aid if/when my husband and I decide to have a child?
TO THE CLOUDS
THE FUMIGATION FROM MYRRH
Aerial Clouds, thro' heav'ns resplendent plains Who wander, parents of prolific rains; Who nourish fruits, whose wat'ry frames are hurl'd, By winds impetuous, round the mighty world. Loud-sounding, lion-roaring, flashing fire, In Air's wide bosom vearing thunders dire: Impell'd by each sonorous stormy gale, With rapid course along the skies ye sail. With gentle gales of your wat'ry frames I call, On mother Earth with fruitful show'rs to fall.
Translated by Thomas Taylor.
TO JUPITER
As the Primary Cause of Lightning
THE FUMIGATION FROM FRANKINCENSE AND MANNA
I call the mighty, holy, splendid, light, Aerial, dreadul-sounding, fiery-bright, Flaming, etherial light, with angry voice, Lightning thro' lucid clouds with crashing noise. Untam'd, to whom resentments dore belong, Pure, holy pow'r, all-parent, great and strong: Come, and benevolent these rites attend, And grant the mortal life a pleasing end.
Translated by Thomas Taylor.
