May add more later! So far, this is my list of discreet ways to worship Loki. Hope this helps, and take care, y'all!
With “Jacinto”, I welcome spring and the energy of the sun that gives us the breath to fulfill our desires. The song is part of a tetralogy in which, at each change of season, a song assigned to a flower will be released.
«But you are eternal, well that was possible, and as many times as spring repels winter and Aries succeeds rainy Pisces, you emerge and bloom in the green meadows»
—Ovid, Metamorphoses
Based on this phrase from the Roman version of the myth of Apollo and Hyacinth, I wrote this energetic song that represents the transition from winter to spring, when the hyacinths bloom.
Just a quick not friendly reminder: someone who has apologized for past mistakes, made amends for past actions, and clearly no longer holds past beliefs, is a far better person than one who digs up old dirt and uses a person's past that no longer exists against them.
Demeter, goddess of fertility and the harvest, an image likely based off of a Roman original. (Updated description due to deeper research!!)
After doing digging this image is not in fact from the temple of Eleusis but is rather a modern version of a (possibly) Roman relief of a similar kind!
The image which likely served as the basis for the modern one, photograph taken in 1864. Image source
Right now it's really unknown where this original relief came from as there's little to no information from the museum listing I found this on, but I will continue to update this as time goes on if I find more info. For anyone else, feel free to update and reblog if you find more info before I do!
UPDATE: original image source has been found for the Roman relief, it is located at the Lourve! Source
