double, double toil and trouble

you are not a bad worshipper for being indecisive about your altar(s)

you are not a bad worshipper for feeling overwhelmed about certain aspects of worship

you are not a bad worshipper for only worshipping one deity

I appreciate this perspective as here in Australia, our seasons are just not the same. I'm up in Queensland, and I would say that our seasons are nowhere near as distinct as the classic spring, summer, autumn, and winter that you get in the Northern Hemisphere. I'm currently working on making a seasonal calendar by conferring with Gubbi Gubbi elders about traditional song lines that dictate the changing seasons. Here is a seasonal calendar that the The Wakka Wakka, Jarowair and Barrumgum tribes follow who are the traditional owners of the Bunya Mountains.

- I see Lord Dionysus when I enjoy a cold Alcoholic beverage surrounded by others who wish to get lost in the celebration and ecstasy of drunken banter, yet knowing my limits enough to not fully join in.

- I see Lord Dionysus when I am enamored by the body of a beautiful man, beguiled by their masculinity and horny for their body on mine, and the euphoria and pleasure it promises to bind us with.

- I see Lord Dionysus when I have a break in my mental health, and I ask him to sit with me to help me through the aftermath and hold my hand as I recover from it.

- I see Lord Dionysus when I go to the club with my friends, as we try our damndest to hear eachother over the noise of celebration, and I feel his mania as I sing in panicked, yet excited embarrassment to the karaoke in front of everyone on stage.

- I see Lord Dionysus when I must remind myself to find the importance of celebration and of kinship, to stop dwelling in my depression, and to engage in fun, in chivalry, and in tomfoolery alike, to remember the importance of living like I want to.

I see lord Dionysus

I wasn't too happy with the last one I drew anymore since I keep on playing kickball with my Artstyle. I want nothing less than the best for Lady Selene, so here you go ! Hopefully she likes it as well !

though it is just the afternoon, i felt like making a post to honor lady selene. she's a comfort in the night, and even something as simple as taking a look at her shining so brightly in the night sky makes me feel a sense of relief :) 🌙

since i had been getting intrusive thoughts regarding worship & prayer, i took a step back but hopefully i will be able to get back into it. right now i have set some days to honor the god(desses) i worship to make it easier for myself, and since today is monday i feel like it's the right time to honor selene.

i don't who needs to hear this but:

You don't always need to do big, complex and/or physical offerings to the Gods.

No, the Gods won't be mad at you if you can't do regular offerings, they're ancient deitys and beings, im sure they wouldn't get angry at such simple things. You can always make simple devotional acts like:

Goddess of the moon

Requested by @lunardewdrops

I love seeing the gods. I see them everywhere. Earlier on a walk to a college open day I spotted this.

In the city where I live there are the most gorgeous buildings but you don’t always notice their beauty.

Anyhow, I looked up and spotted this gorgeous carving and seeing the grapes - at least what I think are grapes - I thought Dionysus.

He’s not a god I worship and yet I felt compelled to stop and admire the beauty of the carving and to spend that moment with him.
