Feeling fragile today ... Ugh

This is awful. Absolutely an attack on free speech and people's ability to exist as themselves. Whenever they look to ban "porn," look closer.

The "woke mind virus" is literally just education and empathy 🤷🏻‍♀️

Watching Inglorious Basterds for the umpteenth time. This guy completely nails his role. Oof.

Maggie presents the dollhouse tarot card of the day, from the couch 🙃 her preferred methods of divination are her glow in the dark pendulum and smoke scrying, but she's been known to lay out the cards when it's called for. 4 of Pentacles #tarotsky #witchsky

Well wouldja look at what just reappeared in the living room??? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Lilith leaves for her forever home today!

So I've run thru my list of Persephone epithets 🫤 prepare for a parade of dolls or something, I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ ideas welcome

In ancient Greece, the name was actually not often used because it was feared that it would call the Underworld Queen's attention...

Persephone epithet of the Day Περσεφόνη Persephone bringer of destruction, murderer/death bringer. I chose Springtime Persephone to present today's 'epithet ' because I think the modern associations with Her name bring to mind for most people that whole spring maiden aspect.

Having a lil sale in the doll shoppe... spiddlewicken.etsy.com

Persephone epithet of the Day Πυρφορος Pyrphoros fire bearer Cognate with Dadoukhos, a common epithet of Hekate also. The underworld goddess was commonly portrayed bearing a torch.

Had another hospital visit this morning because I've been in excruciating pain since yesterday. Lots of stones in my kidney and a UTI. Urologist on the 3rd. Ugh.

Persephone epithet of the Day Μελιτώδης Melitodes sweet as honey Honey was a common offering to the gods, and bees had strong associations with the Dead - either as their messengers or the souls themselves.

Watching Candyman 1992 and thinking about doing a double feature.

I find it absolutely DISGUSTING that Elon Musk the richest man in the world has his DOGE people at this Social Security administration, trying to steal our private information & OUR money! Millions of us subsist, seniors, and people like me with disabilities, on fixed incomes. We ALL must speak out!

So I just counted and just in my bedroom, there are 7 images/agalma of Persephone. 🙃🤷🏻‍♀️🤗

PSA: If you’re going to go around referring to yourself as the “king” of America you sure as fuck don’t get to call a democratically elected foreign leader a “dictator.”

I've been wanting to reread Jane Yolen's Briar Rose since the beginning of the year. It gets more relevant every day. I had had an old library discard but haven't been able to find it so now a 'new' copy is on its way.

Persephone epithet of the Day Axiokersa This is allegedly a name for the goddess in Samothrace, where they kept the true names of their deities a secret only revealed in their Mysteries. Axiokersa was one of three named gods.

My annual Halloween costume. Κερ , Ker, female spirits of doom and violent Fate.

Persephone epithet of the Day Καταχθονίων βασίλεια Katachthonian Basileia Queen of the Underworld A number of scholars have indicated that Persephone was the original monarch of the Underworld. There are meant stories of deities and others being overpowered by gods who then take up their domain.

Love this interpretation of Persephone and Hades by @arayaart.bsky.social - this digital painting was commissioned for the band "NyKtiforom" for one of their album covers! #beautifulbizarre #samarayaart #samaraya #NyKtiforom #albumart #persephone #hades #mythology #digitalpainting #art

The billionaires have been working on their merger with the evangelicals and “conservatives” for decades…abortion was the wedge issue to get Christians to vote against their own good. It was never about babies. It was to bring about a coup…it is an oligarchy taking over the US inch by inch.

Persephone epithet of the Day Κόρη Kore maiden, girl, daughter. This is the "name" used for Her as Demeter's daughter. It denotes the innocence and possibility inherent in youth. So I figured Springtime Persephone was the best fit for today.

Entrail divination ftw

17 red states are suing to end 504, which helps to end discrimination against the disabled and offer them various types of advocacy. But that's fine. I mean, really, who cares? Not my parents who raised a disabled child who was involved with 504. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Persephone epithet of the Day Έπαινε epaine awe-inspiring awe-full This is less an epithet and more a common descriptor of the goddess. It is the concept of the blinding and intense glory of divinity and the feeling we are inclined to when in the presence of the sacred.

I finished reading Restless Dead and I don't know what to pick up next 😭

I don't know what my fox news watching parents think about what is going on. Either they are stupid or malicious or both. Either way, a lot of graves are about to be dug.

Sarah Iles Johnston seems to have a bit of an anti-Dionysiac view, if her chapter 'Hecate and the Dying Maiden' in Restless Dead is any indication. 🤔🧐 Thoughts?

Hekate Brimo seemed like the right doll to show off today's dollhouse tarot card. Judgement. #tarotsky

Persephone epithet of the Day Σεληνη Selene the moon goddess is a stand in for Persephone in some ancient magickal workings. Orphic initiates were called the "Children of the Moon"

No one invokes the dark forces like they used to, everyone nowadays is just rubbing crystals together, when we should be summoning typhoons to destroy incoming invading ships along our kingdoms coastline.

I've seen them around my local haunts. It's not an insignificant number.

Persephone epithet of the Day Παντοκράτειρα Pandokrateira almighty Persephone Unveiled by C. Stein discusses the goddess as Being Itself; She is the might of Consciousness, and of course, the all powerful Queen of Life and Death.
