At the Height of Venus

Choosing joy is an act of rebellion.

Your continued survival is a threat.

The connections between Zeus and Hekate are very present in ancient literature and practice, but are less explored in modern discussions of Hekate.

The first big thing is in the Theogony by Hesiod, Hekate’s first literary mention. In his hymn to Hekate, he says many things of importance. Firstly:

“And she conceived and bare Hecate whom Zeus the son of Cronos honoured above all. He gave her splendid gifts, to have a share of the earth and the unfruitful sea. She received honour also in starry heaven, and is honoured exceedingly by the deathless gods. For to this day, whenever any one of men on earth offers rich sacrifices and prays for favour according to custom, he calls upon Hecate.”

Here we see that She is the goddess Zeus “honoured above all”. This is a pretty big deal, considering Zeus is the King of the Gods and Hekate isn’t an Olympian. He honors Her so much that He gives Her a share of dominion in every realm. He continues, saying:

“The son of Cronos did her no wrong nor took anything away of all that was her portion among the former Titan gods: but she holds, as the division was at the first from the beginning, privilege both in earth, and in heaven, and in sea. Also, because she is an only child, the goddess receives not less honour, but much more still, for Zeus honours her.”

This dominion on Earth, in the Seas, and in the Heavens is given as a gift by Zeus in addition to Her duties as a Titan. It seems that this could be a gift in return for Her assistance in defeating Zeus’ father and the rest of the Titans, as She is the only Titan to retain Her powers. And he implies that Hekate receives excessive honor because Zeus honors Her. Indicating their relationship to be quite close together and that their worship might be linked.

Moving on from Hesiod, sometimes Zeus is even cited as Hekate’s father. Theoi.com’s encyclopedia entry states: “Others describe her as a daughter of Zeus and Demeter, and state that she was sent out by her father in search of Persephone (Schol. ad Theocrit. ii. 12); others again make her a daughter of Zeus either by Pheraea or by Hera (Tzetz. ad Lyc. 1175; Schol. ad Theocrit. ii. 36).” This parentage makes a significant break with earlier traditions and understandings of Hekate’s role, and Her role as a Titan, but it does indicate that Hekate and Zeus have clear connections in ancient understandings. What cannot be denied is that Zeus views Hekate as a goddess of great power and importance, and that He bestowed upon Her great power. Zeus and Hekate also both share the epithet meaning Savior, Hekate Soteira and Zeus Soter, indicating that their roles may have even had some overlap.

Hekate and Zeus also would have both been honored as protectors of the home. Hekate guarding its threshold and having a shrine there, and Zeus Ktesios within the home. Here we may have seen a lot of connection in the act of worship.

There’s also a lot more we do not know, or at least that I don’t know, especially because worship was localized and varied greatly from city to city in the ancient times. But what we can say for certain is that there are absolutely connections between Zeus and Hekate and that the ancients would have seen them as inherently entwined in some way. They were even placed together on coins (shown below). Their connection may indicate why Hekate can be prayed to for aid in so many different things, as Zeus can be prayed to for absolutely anything and it seems gave Her a share in His own power. Worshipping Hekate and Zeus together invokes Hekate’s aspects as an Ouranic goddess, as a protector and all-purpose goddess who grants favor in any endeavor within Her domains to those who honor Her. And with that I will leave you with a prayer to Zeus and Hekate for generalized favor:

“Zeus, Hekate, Heavenly Ones, hear my prayers!

Lord Zeus, King of the Gods, I offer up to you this prayer and ask for favor in all things. He who rules the world of man and the heavens, may no challenge stand in my way. May I have success in all endeavors and be gifted well-being and prosperity!

Queen Hekate, Savior of Mankind, I offer up this prayer to you and ask for favor in all things. She who has dominion in the starry heavens, the earth below it, and the vast seas as well, may I be given luck and triumph in all that I attempt to accomplish. May I recieve your gifts and be granted joy, abundance, and general welfare!”

The radiance of God falls like rain.

to shift, you have to be willing to surrender your guard to ALL of it. you can’t expect to shift if there’s a part of you still expecting to fail. if there’s a part of you still bargaining on whether you did enough, or too much, or waited too long you’re just honing in on the part of you that’s building walls! get rid of the expectations, banish them.

it’s WAY past midnight here for me and i’ve had a VERY busy night on many fronts, but before i go to bed i wanted to repost my original self-concept thread! 

it’s not ENTIRELY the same - i’ve added some addendums -  but i really wanted to share it again, because i think it would help a LOT of you right now, especially the ones who waver!

after all, what’s there to be afraid of if you know you control everything~?

SO! 

without further ado, here’s my short (but sweet!) guide to self concept: what it is, how to build one, and what it means for your manifestations! 🪞✨

as implied, self-concept is just that - your concept of yourself.

it’s not just who OTHERS think you are, either! believe it or not, it has less to do with others, and much more to do with YOU; who you believe you are on the inside, what you are capable of. 

what your REALITY is capable of!

people who coach with me and follow me know i talk an awful lot about deciding, but what ANCHORS those decisions is self concept. 

if you were to think about who you are and what your reality is capable of, who are you? 

what’s possible?

what’s real? 🪞

for example, people who struggle to manifest SPs (romantic or otherwise) usually have a low self-concept, and it has nothing to do with SP - they don’t view themselves as beautiful or alluring, or someone even worth being desperate over! 

so it never eventuates in real life, because they're not projecting what they want to reflect...

after all, YOU don’t believe it - so why should literally anyone else? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

or people who struggle to manifest money, or have regrettably in bad situations because of it themselves?

despite their overwhelming desire for wealth, they almost NEVER have positive view of money or themselves in relation to it, and that’s why it never comes!

they WANT to be wealthy, but don’t truly view themselves as such - and it’s not about just “identifying as rich”, or acting in a stereotypical way, it’s about EMBODYING that! 

what that feels like to you, what it means. to YOU! 

in REAL TIME! TO YOU!

does money come to you effortlessly, it it something you don’t even really have to think about? is your business booming, do people like you and want to treat you? 

does your boyfriend ACTUALLY love you, or are you just saying that? 

are you able to simply think about something and it just INSTANTLY reflects, because you want it to? maybe even you get surprised, often, because THAT’S what you want?

if not, you should probably start changing your mind about those things, and FAST! 🗞️

i’ve spoken at length about my own self-concept as a goddess. 

people often ask me, how did you just “decide” you were a goddess, and the truth is, i literally just chose to. 

what my existence means to me, what it doesn’t… how things work, why they do, IF they do… 

all of those things are up to me, and understanding that i control MY reality, that i can make the rules, is what changed everything for me.

i get the money i want, i get the people and jobs and opportunities and all the sweet and wonderful things that make my life amazing because i understand EXACTLY who i am in this world! and all because i just literally want things to be this way, so they are!

and you don’t have to view yourself the way i view myself to be capable of the same things that i am! 

i have clients who see themselves as wise women, as practitioners of magic; some believe the universe is simply an extension of themselves, so they move it as they please.

please, understand that what i’m telling you is not just that you CAN be anything - but you ARE everything! 

ALREADY!

RIGHT NOW!

think of yourself like a sim you can add traits to; are you wealthy, are you popular, are you charming, are you loved? 

can you control people, do things materialize LITERALLY instantly in your reality? are you human, is magic real? can you talk to animals, revive plants?

what do you abide, and what will you cast away? 

what’s true in your world?

what IS your reality, and what’s possible at all?

who are you? 

and no, these aren’t affirmations for you to make or ponder over, these are questions all of you should think over and take seriously.

the law isn’t just about manifesting stuff, it’s about understanding that should you choose to truly be limitless, there is NOTHING out of your reach.

how can you fear the world when it has no choice but to reflect you? 

you don’t have to be afraid that you’re ‘doing it wrong’, or ‘not ready yet’, or ‘don’t know how’ - you just need to look in the mirror, and decide who you are now.

to build a self-concept is to understand who you and WHAT you are in this life, and believing in it fully. legitimately. 

BEING! 

not hoping, not wishing, not waiting until things are better or you are “perfect” - you can choose to be ANYTHING at any time, so instead of wondering about how any of this works, why don’t you start deciding NOW?

decide that you CAN, that this is REAL.

that whatever is is you want or whoever you want to be is something that you are NOW - the only one who needs to believe it is you, and it’s true the moment you decide it is.

start by deciding who you are, what’s going to happen next, how others see and treat you - it can all be real NOW, but as always, the only one standing in between you and what you want is YOU! 🪞

let me be real with you. for the longest time, i was a loser. stuck in my own head, broke, lost, and playing small. begging the universe for scraps, hoping things would magically get better. pitiful, right?

then one day, i got sick of it. sick of feeling sorry for myself. i decided enough was enough.

i dropped the pathetic victim act, i went to bed at midnight, lay in a comfortable position and told myself to stop fucking around. i said, "i am in the void state." i repeated the affirmation until i couldn't see or hear anything then i said, "i have everything from my void list"

here’s what i manifested once i quit being a loser and started living like a queen:

☆a luxury apartment with insane views

☆a fat bank account that makes my old broke days look like a bad dream.

☆a career where i’m the boss, respected, feared, and paid what i’m worth.

☆a partner who’s loyal, confident, and shows up fully. no games, no drama.

☆a car that commands attention sleek, black, and unapologetically expensive.

☆friendships that actually build me up instead of tearing me down.

☆a daily peace that’s cold and steady. unbreakable and real.

the void state wasn’t a fairy tale. it was my battlefield — and i won.

Because holding an assumption that you're gonna succeed no matter what is what's going to happen. if you study you're going to succeed. if you don't study you're gonna succeed. if you go to work you're gonna succeed. if you don't go to work you're going to succeed. if you turn in that assignment you're going to succeed. if you don't turn that assignment you are going to succeed. simply understand that everything is working out in your favor, and you don't need to work hard or suffer to get what you want.

if you'd like to work because you like working and it's fun to you, then go ahead. you're going to succeed anyways.

okay, HELLO EVERYONE! ✨

firstly, thank you SO much for your patience while i’ve been gone - most of my current clients and followers have migrated with me over here, and i’m really glad to see everyone again! ♡

today, i wanted to make a new thread; it’s a bit of a short and sweet one, but it’s one of my greatest manifestation tools and one of the easiest to use, IMO - mind control.

and ‘mind control’ in this context could mean anything here technically - you implanting thoughts in their head, making them feel a certain way, deciding they DON’T feel a certain way. making them act, making them change their mind, making them do ANYTHING - it's all possible, it just takes a little will and understanding of how this works. usually we call it thought transmission, but i've always thought we could get a bit more specific about it - so today especially, i wanted to talk about commanding others in real time. like, for real. instantly. your SP, your parents, someone you like or even someone you want to punish - you can make ANYONE feel or act in ANY way, you just need to understand that it’s within your power to do so.

one of the best examples i like to use about changing minds and hearts is getting messages, and more specifically, apologies! ✨

so for example, you’ve had a fight with someone - maybe something they said or did was unfair, or maybe what YOU said or did was unfair! but instead of fighting about it or dwelling on it or WISHING they'd just come around... you could simply use your mind to change theirs. 

as cruel as it may sound, my preferred method is mental punishment and introspection - because i don’t NEED to reach out or fight with them or even respond to get what i want after a fight!

all i ever have to do is choose that they believe that what they did was wrong, that they feel badly and desperately, and they usually come around within half an hour or even sooner - usually, they're trying to find the words to make it up to you. and it's not about time, or things NEEDING to take time - it's that i've changed their understanding of what happened, and now they want to fix it (and will) because, well... i want them to.

making them feel guilty, forcing them think about what happened and the impact of their words, making THEM KNOW that their actions were wrong instead of “justified” - and this is one of MANY examples, to be honest, and that's mostly just how i prefer to do it. i love forcing introspection onto others when they've hurt me - because changing minds is easy, but making them feel the impact of their behaviour is most satisfying for me too. but it works really quickly when you want a quick apology or a 180 or behavior, so do it however you want!

i’ve had phone calls and even exes begging at my door this way, and it didn’t take days or hours or mental strain - i simply reached out, decided what i wanted them to think/feel, and then they acted in the way i wanted.

it’s THAT simple.

all you have to do is mentally link with them, and decide how they have to feel. it can be as simple as choosing they feel a certain way/will do a certain thing and letting it go, or for deeper things (and things that might still bother YOU, you can always sit with them mentally and work through it together) - and it’s not about doing it a certain way or affirming they feel a certain way. it's about knowing that it's real, now. that they are different, NOW.

understand: i’m being VERY literal here. i’m talking about understanding that when YOU are thinking of them? they are thinking of YOU in REAL TIME, in THAT moment, and this is a mirror you can use to your advantage at ALL times.

thought transmission is a two way street, after all~ ✨

it’s like when a relative or friend reaches out after you were randomly thinking about them, or why some people tend to dwell so much on memories that seem to come out of nowhere (which is usually the other person thinking of your first, actually)! you're connecting with others constantly, but not neccesarily consciously - but you can control that at any time. all you need to remember is that as long as you are thinking of them, they are thinking about you (and that same subject) at the EXACT same time.

and wherever those thoughts or feelings go? you can change them. together.

you can alter the mood of the thoughts or the way they view those memories, the way they remember them, WHY, or even what they want to do next. in real time. RIGHT NOW!

and of course, you can also use this link to IMPROVE things if you want - make someone have a better opinion of you or feel more enarmored, or make someone do or say something you want them to, or even change their whole personality - you really only just have to decide that they feel the way you want them to, and they will. change their feelings, their wills, their minds! 

and i LOVE doing this in real time - i’ve had people pause and change their mind about things during meetings in my favour, made people move out of the way/make room/notice me because i wanted them to, been told EXACTLY what i like because i decided a conversation a certain way, gotten friends begging me back apologising, i’ve had bosses and friends change minds and opinions just because i wanted to. i’ve even made people have feelings for me or act on my behalf on a whim, just for fun - all without doing so much than sitting there knowingly and smiling pretty~ it’s more powerful and feels more satisfying in person, but please know that distance and time are not a limitations here and i encourage you all to explore how this works for you.

maybe for you you just have to link with them and implant a thought, maybe you can control people just by looking at them as you speak? or maybe you’re just better at mental projection as a taken skill, and can beam men kissing into their mind just because you'd find it funny~ again, that's a self concept thing, but the important thing is - how this works, how "fast" things happen, whether or not they DO change their minds? that is up to YOU. ALWAYS. AT ALL TIMES.

you can even show up un their DREAMS if you want, but the important part is, understand that your mind is linked with theirs (and you can control that) whenever you want. and again, it doesn't have to take days, or hours - simply tell them what to do. wake them up in the middle of the night! make them horny for you for no reason at work! decide they don't go to that thing you don't wanna go to, or that they'll take you somewhere you DO wanna go! make them call you! make them dump their awful boyfriends! WHO CARES?! JUST DO IT!

have fun with it, use it, experiment! you can even weaponise it against people you don’t like if you want to, or make people make choices that benefit you or others - whatever it is you want them to think or do, it CAN happen. simply will it, and it will.

you can also use thought transmission to control people in real time - i can will people to message or call me, make a line open up at a store, decide a friend who's busy suddenly has time for me, get a certain email or job i want - i can make things and people SHOW UP or move faster by ‘motivating’ the right people, just by telling them what to do in my mind to theirs. it just depends on you. again, you literally DON’T have to do anything - just use your mind.

just literally reach out, think of them, and decide what you want them to do. with CONVICTION. with AUTHORITY.

instant manifestation IS instant, and so is thought transmission - simply make it so. and what you do with your manifestations and the way you shape others is ENTIRELY up to you, by the way. small disclaimer, but everyone who knows me will tell you that there are no right and wrong manifestations, no unethical ones, and what YOU consider fine in your reality may be distateful to someone else, but in the end? you are viewing YOUR reality from your perspective, and that’s why it doesn’t matter what they “think” or “want” if there’s something you want more. there IS nothing but you here.

local to you, everyone around you is more or less an NPC on a server we "share" - malleable, changeable, and able to change in a second in a different way for each of us, because YOUR reality is your OWN. the changes you can make, and skills and desires you develop during your journey are your own - and there is no "karma" or "retribution" to had unless you choose to believe in it, so never feel it's wrong “bad” to change someone’s mind, or how they feel, or make decisions in your favour through them - or even changing their memories. there is no free will here - not for them. the only thing that exists here is you and your will - so use it.

Sweeties...

My loves...

Don't... and I say it with my whole chest... Don't... Feel ashamed for wanting and desiring more, especially in terms of material wealth, material abundance, and stability in relationships.

That's literally an INGRAINED code in our chart... It's just who we are...

Per se, don't be ashamed of seeking a partner who can equally provide or provide more than you could to yourself. Don't feel bad for desiring a man who will prioritize you. As a big sister Capricorn Venus in the 10th house... Working hard, surrounding yourself in luxury, and being a natural provider for yourself and others while desiring material abundance... are just WHO and WHAT I am. It's just WHO and WHAT we are. And if you're like me, it'll either mean you seek a very traditionally loving and providing man or a man of equal (and/or greater) caliber.

SO NO! You... thinking you "deserve" princess and queen treatment... is NOT delusion. It's your birthright.

Don't settle. Love is great... but love can't feed you.

Sincerely,

Sure! Thank you for the ask 🦇❤️ <I'm assuming it's Black Moon Lilith and not Asteroid 1181>

🥀 Where you have Lilith in your chart will reflect themes of shadow and desire, rebellion, and your unapologetic, wounded self.

🥀 She represents the part of our psyche ~ that is creative, wild and assertive- which is repressed due to patriarchal conditioning. And needs to be integrated as part of of our shadow work to avoid projection on others or repressing ourselves.

⚸ Black Moon Lilith in Leo

🖤 Their self-expression and creativity is a force of immense value. They refuse to diminish their radiance or be made to feel small.

🖤 People may want to posses them or their charm. Not knowing that it's only special because they wield it.

🖤 Most likely to have hater-fans.

🖤 They may want to be understood deeply. Beyond the star, beyond the fearless leader.

🖤 Their star-like quality is often sidelined for their bold and unconventional art or persona. They may even adopt a more avant-garde approach to life

🖤 They may have wounds related to a rejection of their creativity in childhood, presumably coming from a father figure; being the lone wolf, or excluded due to their personality.

🖤 Their sexual energy is magnetic, bold and feline. Marking and dominating their partner during the act is a deep craving that feeds their inner fire.

🖤 In the shadow self, the native may develop a God-complex and find ways to step over other 'inferior' beings.

🖤 intimacy could become more about asserting power over connecting.

🖤 love courting and elaborate romances where the partner is expected to worship and once the initial magic wears off they slip out of the relationship.

🖤 Sexual energy channelled to powertrip and thrive on that high.

🖤 They can be the king/queen archetype. Except it could spill over into a cult-like territory, or a desire to rule over people.

🖤 But people are not meant to be ruled. Unpleasant consequences are reaped if we impose our will on others, as there's bound to be an uprising or depositions.

🖤 Once they percieve threats to dethrone them, they could retreat to their private chambers where they 'regale' a private audience of their own choosing.

🖤 Outbursts, acting out, over compensating are likely.

🖤 If not, they could indulge in self destructive actions, doubting their worth and rooting themselves in low self-esteem.

🖤 Sometimes the native could reject their popularity and attention by sheltering themselves and creating a private life of their own, away from public eye/attention.

🖤 Could pursue fields or professions (eg. accounts, law) opposite to their passion and interests (eg. performance arts, politics)

🖤 They live extremely dissatisfied lives when they're not aligned with their true, creative selves.

☄️ Shadow Work

♠️ Reflect on any feelings of jealousy, inadequacy, or frustration that arise when others receive attention or recognition.

♠️ Use inner child work to comfort the parts of the native that felt unseen or unloved.

♠️ Allow themselves to make art, speak, or perform purely for their own enjoyment.

♠️ Reflect on talents or passions they’ve hidden out of fear of rejection or standing out too much. Bring them into the light.

♠️ Work on distinguishing between ego-centered desire for recognition and authentic self-expression.

♠️ Release shame around vulnerability
