If you ever feel unsure in your practice, remember that you are keeping Hellenism alive. You. You are. You’re a driving force, and you’re important.

You matter, whether or not you stick with it.

Narcissus does not fall in love with his reflection because it is beautiful, but because it is his. If it were his beauty that enthralled him, he would be set free in a few years by its fading. - W. H. Auden

Caravaggio - Narcissus, 1597–1599.

LYDIA MARTIN And I've got a lot to pine about. I've got a lot to live without.

You don’t care about getting hurt. But you know how I’ll feel? I’ll be devastated. And if you die, I will literally go out of my freaking mind. You see, death doesn’t happen to you, Lydia. / Unbelievable…you have no idea what you are, do you? The wailing woman.

#(‘...i know you find me extreme in my grief. i bear it hard.’)#do jennifer’s words ever ever leave her? they never utter ‘wail’ again in the series.#when does the myth she was first told about herself being to feel prophetic? because this reveals a change in register—#or a reconciliation with or reminder she can’t outrun of the knowledge that her skull-shattering (the last chimera) skull-crushing (twtm)#weapon of a voice wields immeasurable power but is born of and devoted to immeasurable sorrow and lamentation.#(‘but i tell you i have no choice. it compels. i act because it compels.’)#and that this very part of her being makes tragedy all that more ineluctable for her. (‘i cannot not grieve.’)#lydia martin #stydia #teen wolf #twedit #teenwolfedit #lydiamartinedit #teen wolf: the movie #teenwolfgifs #fyteenwolf #tslyricsedit #cinematv #dailytvwomen #filmgifs #filmedit #‘so i’ll say words i don’t believe’ the idea of a scene like this dizzies me #it’s always about loving someone so much that you would leave them to protect them isn’t it

In general

Beautiful, black-eyed Nyx, cloaked in darkness, older than old, daughter of misty Chaos, mother of great and mighty spirits, I call to you. Ever-present one, you live in the shadows; we know you in the dusk, in the comfort of the night. Broad-winged Nyx, you clasp the hand of bright Hemera, each eve and morn, you greet her with love and sorrow for only in those moments may you embrace your child. Goddess, awesome one, in your realm are we all unblemished, in your realm do lovers’ promises ring true, in your realm are all things possible, if only until daybreak. Nyx, I honor you.

Small prayer

“Nyx, mother of the night, mother of sleep, mother of death: Might your darkness embrace me Might your energy caress me Might you be mine and Might I be yours Blessed be.“

In general

O ancient Goddess, born of Chaos and steeped in shadow, I honor you now and always. With eyes which have watched the beginnings of all that is, see us now embracing your sleep and mystery. With power that strikes fear into the hearts of the most revered of Gods,

I remember your strength when I am searching for my own. In the starless night where light shines not i will give my thanks to your Greatness, And surrender to the dark.

Sometimes, He is not pretty.

Disheveled, stinking of piss and filth.

A frightening homeless man

Shouting at me from the other side of the train station:

The face that you often see is nothing but a glamour crafted to be pleasing to you.

But, sometimes, I am tired of that

face, and you will see Me as I am

An ancient being, whose face bears the ravages of time, and what appalling marks

Grief, pain and madness have inevitably made upon Me.

While it may be easy to approach Me in a finer guise,

Silk cravats and topcoats, leather and flash, I am

Also this, at My core. This is also Me.

I am bloated with rage, and careless

grime settled in the creases, compulsively licking

The blood and the spittle that collects at the corners of My ragged lips.

My yellowed, broken teeth have gnawed and ground down upon the offal and

bones of My very long memory.

I call to you

but you must approach Me.

Would you kiss My mouth?

Final Piece vs. Inspo (photo of Tim Curry from The Rocky Horror Picture Show)

"Unintended Consequences"

I know this isn't one of my usual colorful/maternal/smarmy/tricksy/domestic styles of Loki portrait. And I still don't know if this is after the lip-sewing, between the Binding and Naglfar, or some other time of fleeing/grief/fear/etc, but it was kinda cathartic to paint.

Follow me on Ko-Fi for WIPs, BTS commentary (not the band) and more~ 💖
