As promised, here is a compilation of the lightning storms I was treated to tonight ^_^

Thank you, Zeus and Thor for the show.

WARNING: FLASHING LIGHTS

Okay everyone this is important

I lived in Alaska until last week. I just moved to California.

My second night in my apartment, TWO large storm cells have come by and the lightning show has been AMAZING.

We RARELY got thunder storms in Alaska. We’d get a couple maybe every other summer.

So Zeus and Thor are really out here saying hello and welcome.

It’s almost 5 AM but I was alerted to the fact Pluto has been in retrograde since April 27th? And so I had to research what that meant and how it affected things.

Destroyer of lies. Out with the bad, in with the good. Turn towards the darkest parts and shine a light. Uproot the bad and plant the beautiful. Discover what lies beneath and expose it.

Here’s the part that I felt the need to share because there’s no way it’s not connected:

Pluto went retrograde on April 27th, 2021.

After six years of nearly consistent chronic pain, I finally found answers and was diagnosed with Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome on April 29th, 2021.

Okay, so August 14th was a very special date for me.

It was my three year anniversary. I’ve been a Hellenic Polytheist for three years now and I just cannot fathom how fast time has flown.

So, in celebration, I’ll have a recording of me singing “All I Ask Of You” from Phantom of the Opera as it really makes me think of Hades.

In other news, I’m going to start packing my things up to move next month. There’s no way I’m leaving any of my altar behind or any of my spiritual things.

I’ve been working at the state fair recently and on a day off, I decided to go to the psychic booth just for fun. The look on that woman’s face when she pulled a card representing the “karma” around me…priceless. She was concerned about the “thing” attached to me that “reeked of death” and the fact it was “powerful.” Imagine her surprise when I asked if it was powerful enough to be a god and just said: “Yeah, he’s fine. Don’t worry about (Hades).”

My coworker is also a HelPol, which was surprising to learn! We talked about Hades and Persephone for a bit on some down time and then some other deities (I can’t remember, I’m sorry! Brain fog >_<).

Doing a lot of research into the death traditions and folklore in different cultures. I’m currently finishing up Morbid Magic and will move onto a book about the Night Marchers. After that, not sure :P

Guys!!! I have a consultation for my tattoo today!!!

My three year anniversary is coming up and I hope to get it before that date :)

So, I’m curious: If I were to do paid tarot readings, would anyone be interested?

The price would be dependent on the type of reading and amount of cards. I’m struggling at the moment to find a second job (and my first one is slow at the moment with shifts).

I’m just gauging interest in the community and my followers :)

“I don’t need another tarot deck.” I say, as I hand over my card to purchase another tarot deck.

I know there’s a lot of wishes as a polytheist or pagan for a temple to worship at. And I have them OFTEN (like today I dreamt of a repurposed house used as a pluralist polytheist temple)

But honestly, I kinda just wish I had a small group of friends in the same religion. And be close enough to rent a campsite and do a small offering ritual and group hellenic hangout thing together. Judgement free, supportive, and out in nature but still private. Just would love to do burnt offerings over a large campfire and be able to talk about the gods openly and laugh with some people.

I dunno; with the seasons changing and wishing I could go camping right now, having that small group community would be nice.

Anyways, cheers!

Hello All!

Hope everyone is well and safe! I know my blog has been rather dormant for a while, and I truly appreciate everyone that has been keeping it alive and interacting with it. Truly humbling to see my words and stuff meaning and impacting so much.

So I’m giving this blog a little revamp, and I’m hoping to be posting some new stuff more. I’m in a more stable place and better with things. I’m also going to be looking into some witch stuff and magic - so if you see some of that content on here that’s why! Literally just starting, so bear with me as I go about it.

Anyway, just want to say hi again. Thanks for everything. Looking forward to more things coming!

Cheers!

-D

p.s. if anyone has some resources (books, blogs, podcasts or videos) to look into with witchcraft and magic, I’d love to know. Send me an ask or message if you can! Thanks!

I’ve been blown away with the luck and blessings I’ve gotten from the Gods this past year. I got to the point where I can justify having business cards for my art (which I made to double as mini-prints!)

Honestly, I can’t thank the gods, and epsecially Apollo, enough for it. I’ve made some awesome things and I’m still getting to do it. I can’t sustain myself on art work alone, but it’s been a great start.

Hope everyone is well and safe, and that you can pursue the things you love be it art, butterfly collecting, or just relaxing with a candle.

Cheers!

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.

It’s so dark and stormy today

I feel the presence of the almighty Zeus heavily today!

I actually went out in the rain for him and I felt pure bliss and joy. I love stormy weather, always felt connected to it! I praised Zeus in the rain as the drops hit my skin so flawlessly. I wanted to stay out there for while, just enjoy Zeus’ storms all day and meditate.

Storms bring me such comfort, I thank Zeus for that
