First post! It’s everyone’s favourite messenger: Hermes! Im not really a fan of drawing digital (i hate doing lineart and coloring digital tbh), but I wanted to color the sketches before putting them up so this came out… Do you like this style or nah?
Let me know which god/goddess you want to see next and which one is your favourite! You can expect many more in the future ;-)

Storms are wonderful, the way the skies thrash and scream. It is a reminder that even the skies scream, burdened with the weight of lost, forgotten dreams. ~ Nikita Gill
“I wondered how many of them had wives waiting for them, mothers and daughters perhaps. What would those women think if they could see their menfolk, as they stood guard over us, the weeping, grieving survivors of Troy?” ― Jennifer Saint, Elektra
I just had a deep deep session yesterday with Zeus. Read a few hymns for him, said some prayers and gave him my true and deep thanks for everything that he does for me in my life. I nearly cried at the deep presence of Zeus as I praised him. At the end of my prayers I sat there, my gentle hand caressing the smooth bronze of my Zeus statue, thanking him for being there for me when no one else was, for the path he has shown me, for the guidance he continues to bring to me. Thanking him for the joy and calmness, the storms that kept me and continue to keep me safe and for the blessings he continues to bring upon me when I need them most.
Zeus truly is a kind loving God full of goodness and mightyness. A God that watches over this world with a kind heart and wise mind of law, order and truth.
Feeling his loving presence is something I will forever be grateful for.

January is the month of Zeus here on my blog! So I encourage you all to share your stories (or really anything) about Big Poppa and ask any Zeus related questions!
And since Thursday can be viewed as sacred to Zeus, I’ll be uploading his Tea with the Gods episode then and hopefully every Thursday throughout the month!
So let’s take this time to get to know our Almighty Father a bit better and give praise to the blessings he bestows on us and the world! Praise Zeus!
It all started from childhood when a Thunderstorm was so strong it brought fear into me. The lightning struck so close to my window, so loud, so bright, so powerful, I screamed. Since then, I can feel a Thunderstorm, I feel this presence with me everyday that I really couldn’t understand. Day in and day out, I feel this energy, or presence with me, always, protecting me. But each time a storm happens, I am scared those same train of events will occur again but never did, the storms were just strong.
Storms became a passion in my life, I became so fascinated by the weather and wanted to learn everything about it.
I felt a connection during Thunderstorms, got over the short term fear and felt drawn to the energy. As I grew up, I learned about ancient Greece and Zeus was mentioned. He stood out to me and matched the energy I’ve been feeling but never thought anything of it till I grew up more. Fast forward to turning 20 years old, my attention was turned to Zeus again, I looked into him deeper than I have before. I was so drawn to Zeus, his energy, his awesomeness and Godly powers that never fail to amaze me. That same night I decided to finally devote my heart to him, I dreamed of him, he was standing in front of me, the majestic handsome old but strong man that he his. A smile was on his face as he stepped forward, wrapping his arms around me, holding me, telling me that no matter what happens, he will always be here for me. He even told me he loves me and kissed my cheek before I woke up, feeling happy, feeling peace now knowing who was there all this time, teaching me, guiding me and protecting me all these years, and still does now. Now I devote my life to him, pray to him every morning and every night. I thank him daily for everything he does. Zeus is so mighty, so powerful, his energy is strong when I feel him. I adore him with all my heart. With this statue I have of him, he is not just standing on a shelf, I shower him with hugs and attention in return for everything he has ever done for me. I love Zeus with everything I have in my heart. I am proud to be a follower, and a dedicated devotee of Zeus⛈⚡
The almighty king of Gods is always on my mind and in my heart
I hold him so close to my heart, he literally touches my heart
He is so mighty and so magnificent, I just love him!
I am very protective of him and will do anything to keep him safe and loved
I love Zeus unconditionally and unendingly
I PRAISE YOU, LORD ZEUS!! I love you and everything that you do.
Worshipping you is the best thing I could ever do in this life of mine..
Almighty wielder of the Thunderbolt, you amaze me in every single way.
So wise and righteous, bringing nothing but truth and just.
Master of the storm, your presence is powerful and fatherly.
I honor you deeply with all of my heart and soul.
You bring such light and life to this big vast universe. You are a true ruler so mighty and powerful, caring and loving.
I thank you everyday for being the most wholesome God I have ever worshipped in my life.
You bring law and order that keeps this universe running as smooth as it can be.
I appreciate everything you do.
You are truly special to me and I will never go a day without praising you.
You are divine, so divine, my words can not even describe it well enough but you know I will do only the best to honor you greatly, Lord Zeus.
Eros was the mischievous god of love, a minion and constant companion of the goddess Aphrodite. He was the one who lit the flame of love in the hearts of the gods and men, armed with either a bow and arrows or a flaming torch.
The poet Hesiod first represents him as a primordial deity who emerges self-born at the beginning of time to spur procreation. The same poet later describes two love-gods, Eros and Himeros (Desire), accompanying Aphrodite at the time of her birth from the sea-foam. In later accounts he is described as one of the children of Aphrodite and Ares and, with some of his siblings, was one of the Erotes, a group of winged love gods.
He married Psyche, goddess of the soul, and she becomes immortal to live alongside her husband. Together they had a daughter, Hedone, goddess of pleasure.
Helioswas the Titan god of the sun, a guardian of oaths, and the god of sight. He dwelt in a golden palace in the River Okeanos at the far ends of the earth from which he emerged each dawn, crowned with the aureole of the sun, driving a chariot drawn by four winged horses. When he reached the the land of the Hesperides in the far West he descended into a golden cup which bore him through the northern streams of Okeanos back to his rising place in the East.
Helios was depicted as a handsome, usually beardless, man clothed in purple robes and crowned with the shining aureole of the sun.
His parents were the Titans Hyperion and Theia, who also bore his siblings Selene (Moon) and Eos (Dawn).
The Cattle of Helios, also called the Oxen of the Sun, were immortal cattle pastured on the island of Thrinacia, who were guarded by Helios’ daughters, Phaethusa and Lampetia.
Pontos was the primordial god of the sea. He was the sea itself, not merely its resident deity, who was born from earth at the dawn of creation. Pontos and Gaia were parents of the ancient sea gods Nereus, Keto, Phorkys, Thaumas and Eurybia. By Thalassa, his watery female counterpart, he was the father of fish and other sea creatures. Poseidon, king of the sea, wed Pontos’ eldest granddaughter Amphitrite.
Pallaswas the Titan god of battle and warcraft. He was the father of Nike (Victory), Zelos (Rivalry), Kratos (Strength) and Bia (Power) by Styx, children who sided with Zeus during the Titan-War. His parents were Crius and Eurybia, and his brothers Astraeus and Perses. He was vanquished by the goddess Athena who crafted her aigis from his skin.
Pyriphlegeton(sometimes only called Phlegeton) was the underworld river of fire and its god. He was one of five infernal rivers, the others being Acheron, Styx, Lethe and Cocytus. Plato describes it as “a stream of fire, which coils round the earth and flows into the depths of Tartarus”. It was parallel to the river Styx. It is said that the goddess Styx was in love with Pyriphlegethon, but she was consumed by his flames and sent to Hades. Eventually, when Hades allowed her river to flow through, they reunited.
