Digital Offering to Lord Hades and Lady Persephone

Happy Spring Solstice! ^^

Digital Offering to Lord Hades and Lord Thanatos

Today a very dear uncle of mine passed away and I thought of doing this, a kind of offering to Thanatos to thank him that my uncle is no longer suffering.

Hades with cornucopia 💀🍊

Persephone 🩷🌹

Some mistakenly believe that Persephone is merely a goddess of spring, but she is so much more. She is all the seasons. The maiden empress. Volatile, aromatic, divine goddess.

Where I live, it’s spring, but I feel a darker facet of the goddess. The sky has been cloudy for three days, and a shadowy movement approaches the rose pots. It’s Persephone with a sarcastic smile on her face. 'Oh... You thought this spring would be all pretty...'

Persephone is much more than just a goddess of spring...

Relevance - July 15, 2024

Thanatos paid a visit and asked me... What is your relevance?

I think it's a bit egocentric to believe that we are the center of the universe, that we will live forever, and that we hold the absolute truth of who we are and who others are.

Well... We don't have the absolute truth of the universe, but we have the ability to discover what is true for us.

Here is the invitation to explore more of our own truth and let those egocentrics, who are eager to tell us what we should or shouldn't do, continue in their insignificant existence. We have no relevance to the universe, but we can choose who truly has relevance in our lives.

A little offereing to Queen Persephone 🥀

Persephone has teaching me that the true altar is not in objects but in how I communicate with the beings around me. I really want to give the best statue of her, but it won't help if my relationship with the Queen is superficial 😅.

"A luz mudou:

a afinação do dó está mais escura.

E as canções da manhã parecem ensaiadas demais.

Essa é a luz do outono, não a luz da primavera.

A luz do outono: não serás poupada.

As canções mudaram; invadiu-as

o indizível.

Essa é a luz do outono, não a luz que declara

renasci.

Não a aurora da primavera: penei, sofri. fui libertada.

Este é o presente, uma alegoria do desperdício.

Tanta coisa mudou. E no entanto você tem sorte:

o ideal arde em você como uma febre.

Ou não como uma febre, como um segundo coração.”

"The light has changed:

the tuning of C is darker.

And the morning songs seem too rehearsed.

This is the light of autumn, not the light of spring.

The light of autumn: you will not be spared.

The songs have changed; the unspeakable

has invaded them.

This is the light of autumn, not the light that declares

I was reborn.

Not the dawn of spring: I suffered, I endured, I was freed.

This is the present, an allegory of waste.

So much has changed. And yet you are lucky:

the ideal burns in you like a fever.

Or not like a fever, like a second heart."

Outubro, Averno - Louise Glück

Vibes 🍂🍁

When things get bad or gets me to a point of almost crying, all I can do is go and sit in front of Hades’s altar. I don’t even think sometimes he even realizes how much I adore him. Hail Hades! 🖤

Me: *stuck in one of those dream loops where you keep waking up in another dream. Trying to find a way to escape frantically*

Me: I wish Hades was here! He would know what to do!

Hades:*appears besides me in the very next loop*

Me: OMG HADES I LOVE YOU! PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME!

Then the next thing I know I woke up in another loop and he was gone.

Me: >:( NO! GIMME BACK HADES! GIMME MY MANS!

Safe to say, I woke up crying and now I miss him even more. Gonna have to light his candle later and leave some offerings. Lol.
