Some impressions from Imbolc. Brigid was invited and honored, potaoes were mashed (and delicious ☺️), candles were blessed. Hope you all had a lovely imbolc!

Challenge me, O Ares
Show me the way to a pure manhood
One of instinct and force
Bent toward the protection of the innocent
And the use of every arm at my disposal
That they may be freed of their suffering

Show me, O Ares
The warrior's bravery
With word and deed
So that none under my protection may fall
Neither by the sword nor the whims of the cynical
For you are Lord of the sword and the shield

Hear me, O Ares
Divine Enyalios
Furious Thouros
Generous Aphenios
Noble Skiptoukhos
Shine your divine light upon me

Blessed Lord
Shining brightly in the day
Climbing daily a little higher
Blessed be

Blessed Lady
Shining brightly as you are filled
Giving light to the night
Blessed Be

Blessed Lady
In gowns of umbers, indigos, and violet hues
Opening the gates of heaven
Blessed be

Blessed are you, Hyperionides
Blessed are we who know you
Blessed are they who seek your light
And in their devotion stay true

All you gods above in heavenly splendor
All you gods below in chthonic darkness
All you gods around in the waters of the sea
All you gods who dwell upon the sacred earth
I honor you this day and make my offerings to you


Προς όλους εσάς, τους θεούς άνωθεν, μες στην επουράνια λαμπρότητα
Προς όλους εσάς, τους θεούς κάτωθεν, μες στο χθόνιο σκότος
Προς όλους εσάς, τους θεούς γύρωθεν, στα ύδατα της θαλάσσης
Προς όλους εσάς, τους θεούς που κατοικείτε επί της ιεράς γης
Σας τιμώ την σήμερον ημέρα και σας προσφέρω τις σπονδές μου.


Pros ólous esás, tous the-oús ánothen, mes stin epouránia lamprótita
Pros ólous esás, tous the-oús kátothen, mes sto chthónio skótos
Pros ólous esás, tous the-oús gýrothen, sta ýdata tis thalássis
Pros ólous esás, tous the-oús pou katoikeíte epí tis ierás gis
Sas timó tin símeron iméra kai sas prosféro tis spondés mou.

My most recent book is my most comprehensive foray into inclusive Minoan spirituality. The values of equality, balance, and inclusivity that the Minoans and their deities offer is are so very relevant in the world today.

Hello!
Call me Pseudanor (after Dionysus' awesome epithet).
I am new to the fediverse but you may know me from other social media.
I've been a hellenic polytheist since at least mid 2023, but lately I've been figuring "eclectic polytheist" probably fits me best for a few reasons. I do primarily worship the hellenic Gods though.
I am queer and disabled.
I'll probably update this once I have the hang of the platform but for now here you go ^^

#introduction #hellenicpolytheism #eclecticpolytheism #polytheism

The seas raged and the land trembled as Poseidon struck the earth
Water flowed forth, a briny mix
But you, wise and ever thoughtful, touched the earth with your hand
An olive tree grew forth from the soil
The people of the land were in awe for this land seemed barren
And rejoiced at your gift

Athena, wise lady
Athena, defender
Athena, caretaker
Athena, goddess of that great city which stands to this day
Blessed may I be by your presence
And forever may you protect that land from which your story flows

TITLE: Rune Spell for Protecting the Protectors

URL: https://angelaraincatcher.substack.com/p/rune-spell-for-protecting-the-protectors

Text from the video:

One of the things I use my Well of Mimir Rune Cards for is creating bindrune spells.

First I will set my intention. Today, I want to send protection, strength, and support to the people in Minneapolis and around the U.S. who are out in the streets putting their bodies on the line while protecting their neighbors who are being targeted by masked ICE agents.

Second, I ground, center, and relax my focus. Then I go through my deck and let the runes and images speak to me as I pull out a few cards that support this work. I may pull more cards than I end up using, but that’s OK. Sometimes the ones that seem most obvious at first don’t work with the others or don’t quite fit. I personally like to get it down to 3 cards.

You may notice there is one card, Eihwaz, missing from my deck in this video since it is on my altar for another working.

For this spell, I have selected Mannaz to represent the community and community care, Elhaz for divine protection, and Tiwaz for the moral strength to do what is right in the face of fear.

Once the cards are selected, I light a candle and make my prayers to the gods and spirits I work with to empower my intention to give spiritual protection and support to the resisters, the protectors, the witnesses, and the protestors.

And Fuck ICE!

Blessings from a full and open heart,

Angela Raincatcher

What are your plans for February 1st? I will be pouring libations to Brigantī, Sirona, and Ogmios.

I might also indulge in some nice cheese and good dark beer.
