The Old Gods Are Not Dead

The old gods are not dead

I hear Athenas war cry in the shouts of protests,

fighting a war now closer to home,

I see her in the young women with picket signs

clenched tightly in their fists

Hera curses the names of the abusers

The ones who break families and marriages

Her voice heard in the wedding bells of young lovers

Poseidon now resides in a beach home

Going out every night to pick of trash left by the day

Shooting daggers at the drunk men letting their bottles be swept away

Demeter can be heard cursing the politicians refusing to believe in global warming

Names of scientists and studies on the tip of her tongue

She is found teaching young children how to grow their food at the community garden

Ares is found on the front lines of a different war, not fighting but protecting the innocent

Guiding classrooms of children away from gunfire,

His shield protecting the terrified

Apollo can be found at opens mics

Reciting his latest works

Or walking down the street in docs on his feet and a guitar on his back

He knows he’s the coolest

Artemis is seen on the streets

Her bow and arrow have long left her

Carrying nothing more than a knife and mace

She hunts a different kind of monster now

Hephaestus resides in a workshop at all hours of the night

Creating custom pieces for the right price and a warm smile

The hammer making him feel invincible

Aphrodite’s song is heard in the breathy kisses of teenagers

Shes found walking down the street, lips a blood red

Punching the men who dare disrespect her  

Hermes is seen with a smirk as he walks long well-traveled roads

Delivering the messages of those needing to be heard

Traveling, telling stories, and wearing out another pair of shoes

Dionysus’s voice heard only over the pounding bass in the bar

Keeping watch over young girls drinks

Dancing, partying and living as he throws another one back

Hades is seen weeping over the graves of those taken much to soon

Looking to his wife for comfort

He’s long lost his faith in humanity

Persephone found in the gardens beside her mother in the spring

Brushing off girl’s dirty knees and putting flower crowns on their heads

She can be seen holding onto hades as he mourns the loss of life

Hecate will be found running metaphysical shops

Bringing hope to powerful women wanting more

Selling potions, nobody thinks will work

And collecting graveyard dirt for a new spell

Zeus is watching over everyone

Watches Athena cry

Hera curse the men, he being one of them

Poseidon’s glares

Demeter’s harsh words

Ares raising his shield

Apollos singing

Artemis as she tracks a new beast

Watches Hephaestus work

Sees Aphrodite punch

Hears Hermes words

Sees hades weep

And Persephone plant and comfort her partner

And grins as Hecate keeps magic alive

The old gods are not dead

They are alive

And they are watching

Recently I have been watching Fullmetal Alchemist and I've bumped into some memes about the best and worst dads in anime. How would you sort out the best and worst dads in the Animorphs universe?

Animorphs Dads From Best to Worst According to Me

Walter. He's so kind and goofy and supportive with Cassie. He's the ideal sort of dad who both gives his kid lots of space to grow up in her own way, but is also willing to talk about whatever might be bothering her.

Steve. We know he's very sweet and forgiving almost to a fault, patient with kids and bratty adults alike. Loses a point for responding to Tom's personality swap in #1 with "sooomebody's got a giiiiiirrrllfriiieend" because that is not the way to get your teenager to open up to you about dating or alien invasions.

Noorlin. We don't know much about him — he's got one scene in #8 — but he seems like he's doing his best to support Ax during that single Skype call. Loses a point for jumping instantly to "you know you gotta kill Visser Three" upon learning that one of his kids is dead and the other is marooned, but overall seems solid.

[space left intentionally blank to separate the good dads further from the crap ones, because tbh none of them are mediocre]

Elfangor. Look, I get that most of his separation from Tobias isn't his fault, but his interaction with his kid consists solely of recruiting said kid into a war that Elfangor himself accidentally started. Not a great look.

Peter. Only ranks above Dan because he eventually gets his shit together, but I'm also unwilling to excuse how long he takes to get his shit together. It's not his fault that he's dealing with major shit between Eva's "death" and meeting Nora, but he nevertheless needs to do a lot more parenting of Marco and a lot less getting parented by Marco. Also, "book-smart man who never bothered to learn how to cook or clean because he's always had a partner to do it for him" is even less of a good look in the 19damn90s.

Dan. There is some excellent social commentary in Rachel's parents' (ex-)marriage around Dan getting 50% of the credit for doing 0.1% of the work. The scene in #7 where Dan brings junk food for dinner to try and bribe his daughters while Naomi rushes home from her extremely challenging job to discover her ex is here to announce that he's fucking off to some other state and won't even be around for one weekend a month anymore... that just speaks volumes about their respective parenting. Dan's not obviously absent like Elfangor, but in many ways his half-assed parenting (including through putting tough emotional decisions on Rachel so he doesn't have to deal with them himself) is worse than accidental abandonment.

But imagine having a killer whale daemon like in the picture, you've always have to be dangerously near the ice, but your daemon would warn you if the ice was thin and always be there to prevent you from falling in.

Mod Frill: Yeah, there’d be some upsides to having a killer whale daemon, but honestly I’d imagine the downsides would outweigh them. It would kinda suck to always have to be near the ocean lol

Dæmonism is just the advanced form of when you'd imagine an animal running alongside the car as a kid.

4 years ago

Everyday Dæmon Things

curling up for an afternoon nap with your dæmon on your face to block the light

going for an early morning jog with your dæmon trailing behind, complaining about the early hour (or running ahead shouting encouragement)

arguing with your dæmon over ingredients in a new recipe (and they’re right, of course)

your and your best friend’s dæmons wrestling in the mud on a rainy day

your dæmon helping with chores around the house

you and your dæmon worrying over your new haircut on the way to school/work

Witch Tip

Make your own spells and sigils and rituals. Discover what associations resonate with you, what things mean to you. Put your own spin on things if you are gonna grab ideas from others. Witchcraft isn’t all about memorization or copying someone’s directions exactly. The power comes from you. The other stuff is just your way of harnessing your energy to do whatever you’re trying to do

Basically you’re the magic. Do what works for you. You’re more powerful when you make your practice your own
