Pleasantly surprised to find that people actually care about Simone. I didn't quite get that impression during season 1. Honestly, I felt like compared to the other main characters, Taissa was little discussed, let alone, her wife.
I love Simone, and I love their relationship. But I've always thought of Simone as the person Taissa married to try to be 'normal'. Simone is the perfect wife. She's the perfect mother. They were the perfect power couple. Most of all, Simone was the perfectly safe choice, especially compared to Van. Not to say she doesn't love Simone - she obviously does- but I think this is all a facade, and that, sadly, Simone is apart of that facade.
My mind goes back to that scene with Shauna where Taissa talks about feeling 'it' and how it's not good for her. We know that 'it' was with Van. I am eager to know how deep and intense that connection still is, especially if it's been a long time since they've been in each other's lives. I am excited about them exploring the Taissa and Van dynamic as adults. I'm SO excited to see what that looks and feels like.
The thought of a love triangle here exhausts me to even think about, but the idea of these women representing two sides of Taissa that are constantly at war with one another is an extremely tempting narrative to play with in her romantic arc(s), I'm sure.
#taissa turner#Yellowjackets#taissa x simone#taissa x van#taivan#granted we're all talking like Simone is gonna be around#if i found an altar with animal sacrifices#i would be on the plane the same night#i will fax the divorce papers bb byeee

Tit for Tat: Nontraditional Offerings
I have a personal rule when petitioning a deity or spirit or ancestor to help me accomplish a thing. The bigger the ask, the bigger the offering. Whatever we offer, it’s a sacrifice.
Of course I do the usual things; flowers, favored food, particular alcohols and beverages, tobacco, incense. All of these things may be welcomed, but I believe that when I’m petitioning a deity or spirit to do a bigger task or to guide me on deeper work, my offering shouldn’t be low effort if I expect them to work on my behalf. My assumption is that deities too get bored with sameness, and if I’m trying to get their attention, I need to offer something that will delight them or intrigue them.
That isn’t to say that small offerings aren’t effective, but if I’m petitioning Athena to help me see justice in a court case, for example, I want her to know I’m serious and that I’m willing to dig deep to have her on my side. I’m pulling out all stops to get her to help me, commensurate to my ability to provide offerings. In other words, if all I’m able to do is buy Athena a bunch of grocery store flowers, that’s enough because that’s the best I can do. But if I’m able take that further and grow and nurture a garden of flowers dedicated to her, I’m going to do that, because I want her to see me making an effort. I want her to know that this petition is important to me and I’m willing to work to get her help.
Big effort offerings don’t have to cost a lot of money and they don’t have to be ostentatious. We’re not talking about sacrificing babies and we’re not emptying our bank accounts. The amount of effort is the point here, and our willingness to go beyond the typical is what we’re aiming for. I think long term commitment is important too.
One of my favorite offerings to Hekate is a yearly donation to Coyote Project. 10% of every sale of my Coyote candles goes to them to help educate and impact legislation on coyote killing contests in the United States. Dogs are sacred to her and according to Apollonius of Rhodes, the barking of hounds signaled that she was near. Ovid tells us that black dogs were sacrificed to her, but I don’t offer animal sacrifices, and it feels appropriate to make offerings to her instead to protect this species of canine. I also make food donations to my local animal shelter monthly. A key aspect of these donations for me, is that I commit to ongoing support to the Coyote Project and my local shelter indefinitely rather than just once.
A few years ago someone asked me what an appropriate offering would be to Hera to help with some marital issues. Rather than offer the typical flowers and incense, I suggested they give up something. I suggested they give up cigarettes or alcohol or some other vice. It’s a unconventional offering, but it works two-fold: she’d be giving up something detrimental to her health and maybe to her relationship, and she’d also be treating her own body as an offering. In other words, her body becomes a temple to Hera.
Here are other offerings to consider that go beyond the wine, flowers, incense routine.
Commit to a fitness or health regime.
Volunteer in your community.
Prepare a dumb (silent) supper.
Learn a new skill and practice it in their honor.
Write a poem, play, or music as offering.
Spend time learning about them.
Prepare a ritual wine or mead and use it in your offerings.
Make art depicting them.
Sing songs or recite their hymns.
Make revelry and dance and laugh and howl at the moon.
Grow a garden of plants dedicated to your deity.
Give up something, i.e. soda, liquor, excess spending, red meat, unhealthy relationships.
Clean a local park or stream.
Commit to prayer or meditation everyday.
Dedicate a perfume or scent to them and wear it daily or during ritual.
Practice nature stewardship.
Make a pilgrimage to sacred sites.
Build a dedicated altar outside.
Ritually clean your altar space regularly.
Take a ritual bath and anoint yourself with perfumes and oils.
Donate time or money to charities.
This isn’t an exhaustive list; there are many other ways of honoring and petitioning deity. And offering doesn’t end at the stage where you’re asking for something; it’s just good manners to make an offering of thanks once the petition is granted.

k so I just finished listening to "ruthlessness" for the second time and guys? the little gasp Odysseus does right before the "what have you doneee" line?? likee
just that one noise perfectly captures the horror, the grief, the pure shock of the moment
And then the disbelief in his voice in his next line? that just makes it so much better oml
like his voice is so clear you can almost hear it breaking, smell the salt covering the iron tang of blood in the air
just the pure stillness of that moment is just---
god Jay's voice is so perfect I CANNOT STAND IT
also?? Steven Rodriguez's "ODYSSEUS OF ITHACA" moment was so perfect I will fight everyone on this
#choking on my own happiness rn#the slightly autistic side of my brain is screaming so loud my ears are ringing#I legit could claw my face off with my fingernails rn#I'm not going to#but I could#I would sacrifice small babies on an altar for this man#he deserves a Grammy for every single song he's written#epic the musical#epic: the ocean saga#jorge rivera herrans#steven rodriguez#god i love it so much

The Glory of the LORD Returns to the Temple
1 And he led me to the gate, the gate that faces eastward. 2 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. And His voice was like the sound of many waters. And the earth shined with His glory. 3 And it looked the same as the vision which I saw, even according to the vision which I saw when I came to destroy the city. And the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar. And I fell on my face. 4 And the glory of the LORD came into the temple by the way of the gate whose view is eastward. 5 And the Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner chamber. And behold, the glory of the LORD filled the temple.
6 And I heard Him speaking to me from the temple. And standing by me was a Man. 7 And He said to me, "Son of man, the house of Israel shall no more defile the place of My throne, and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel forever; neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places. 8 When they set their threshold by My threshold, and their doorpost by My doorpost; and the wall between Me and them, they have even defiled My holy name by their abominations which they have done. And I have consumed them in My anger. 9 Now let them put away their whoredom, and the dead bodies of their kings from Me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.
10 You, son of man, show the house of Israel the temple, so that they may be ashamed of their iniquities. And let them measure its pattern. 11 And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, the form of the house, and its arrangement, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws, make known to them. And write them before their eyes, so that they may observe all its form, and all its ordinances, and do them. 12 This is the law of the temple. On the top of the mountain is all its border, all around it is most holy. Behold, this is the law of the temple.
13 And these are the measures of the altar by the cubit. The cubit is a cubit and a span; even the base shall be a cubit, and the width a cubit, and its border by its edge all around shall be a span. And this is the upper part of the altar. 14 And from the base on the ground even to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the width one cubit. And from the smaller ledge even to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the width one cubit. 15 And the altar hearth shall be four cubits, and from the altar hearth and upward shall be four horns. 16 And the altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long, twelve wide, square in its four sides. 17 And the ledge shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen wide in its four sides. And the border around it shall be half a cubit, and its base a cubit around. And its steps shall face eastward."
18 And He said to me, "Son of man, thus says the Lord GOD, 'These are the ordinances of the altar in the day of its being made to offer upon it burnt offerings, and to sprinkle blood upon it. 19 And you shall give a young bull for a sin offering to the priests the Levites, who are of the seed of Zadok, who approach Me to minister to Me,' says the Lord GOD. 20 And you shall take of its blood and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around. So you shall cleanse and purge it. 21 You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the temple, outside the sanctuary.
22 And on the second day you shall offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering. And they shall cleanse the altar as they cleansed it with the bull. 23 And when you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish and a ram out of the flock without blemish. 24 And you shall offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to the LORD. 25 Every day for seven days you shall prepare a goat for a sin offering. They also shall prepare a young bull, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish. 26 Seven days they shall purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves. 27 And when these days are expired, it shall be that on the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings before the altar, and your peace offerings. And I will accept you,' says the Lord GOD."
