One Unique Epithet for Some Theoi

breathing-in-gilded-dust:

I need to make those epithet posts on my personal worship. Until then, here are these!

Zeus of the Flower Crown

• (I’ve talked about that on a different blog a long while ago)  I don’t know why, but the thought of Zeus wearing a flower crown really makes me feel… I’m not sure. Like it’s right. I can see one of His children coming up to Him, and giving it to him in place of a gilded laurel wreath, and Him graciously accepting it. I love it so much, it makes me feel like He ismy father and I can look to Him for love. 

Hera of Chickadees

•  This is a long story, but basically, I was feeling really down, and a chickadee landed when I asked for a sign to keep going. I have always attributed it to Hera. 

Aphrodite of Fluttering Wings

•  There is something so soft and beautiful about the fluttering of wings. I immediately think of a dove, just stretching and waving its little wings. So sweet. 

Athene of New Beginnings

• Starting new things, especially skill/academic things, is super hard. I feel that Athene is a goddess of pursuance towards excellence, and definitely someone that could help push you to go farther, to get even better, and do what you have the ability to. 

Hermes of Collections

• I think He would like bits and bobs and odds and ends, so naturally, He could be a collector. I have a few collections (crystals, knick knacks, etc) and I always feel like He enjoys them with me.

Apollon of Sideways Smiles

•  I picture Apollon as a somewhat serious Theos, however, I do think He smiles. And when He does, it must be so awesome, so gorgeous. And I also feel that it’s sideways, a little quirky. 

Artemis of Forgotten Tasks

•  I doubt Artemis looses her focus for very long, being a Huntress, and a protector. So I look to Her when I think I have forgotten something, or need help remembering an item on my to-do-list. 

Hestia of Laundry Detergent

•  My whole house smells like Gain. I swear by it. It reminds me of home, and thus it reminds me of Hestia. Everything about the smell screams ‘family’ to me. 

Dionysos of Syrup

•  There is so much sweetness in syrup. It’s like wine, but for people that don’t drink (not really, but y’know). I associate it with Him because it’s so rich and honestly, eating it is euphoric. 

Poseidon of Sturdy Walls

• He is the Theos of Earthquakes, is He not? I feel that He has definitely influenced builders and their ability to create strong foundations and earthquake-proof buildings. But that’s just me. 

Hephaistos of Stone-Cutters

• Like granite. I walked into a granite selling place, and it totally reminded me of Hephaistos. The way it looked, all dusty and full of potential, and the sounds, even. It was a really cool place. 

Ares of the Children

•  I feel like Ares’ fighting spirit was definitely instilled in some children. Their strong will, combined with passionate emotions reminds me of Ares. I love it, seeing His influence at work. It isn’t a bad thing. It’s an interesting thing. 

Demeter of Long Hugs

• Okay but can’t you see Demeter holding Persephone in Her arms, reluctant to let go? I sure can. So I associate Demeter with long hugs, especially from parents or guardians or awesome people in general. 

Hekate of

Surreal Places

•  I don’t know why, but crossroads have always been super weird to me. You have a choice, and you must make it to continue. That’s surreal, and so are other spots. I say Hekate instills some of Her power in those place.
