Hillbilly Hymn to Hermes

O swift-footed Hermes, cunning and wise,

Born in the hills ‘neath the wild-roaming skies.

Son of the Thunderer, fleet as the breeze,

Running the hollers, slipping through trees.

Patron of rogues with a grin full of light,

Guiding the lost in the dead of the night.

Hand of the wanderer, voice of the tongue,

Silver-lipped speaker, forever unsung.

You taught us the ways of the barter and trade,

Showed us the roads and the trails that you laid.

You smile at the sly and the sharp-minded kin,

The fox in the henhouse, the luck that we win.

Breaker of locks and opener wide,

Bringer of blessings that cannot be tied.

Oft have I prayed when my feet found the road,

And oft have you lightened my wearying load.

Keeper of gates where the pale spirits go,

Leading them on where the cool rivers flow.

Friend of the dying, whose hands take their own,

Walking beside them, yet never alone.

Come now, O Hermes, by firelight’s glow,

Under these mountains so ancient they know.

Grant me your cunning, your laughter, your grace,

A quicksilver blessing to carry my pace.

Hail to you, Hermes, swift-footed and free,

Guide of the roads and the hollers to me!

🌊 Subtle Aphrodite Worship 🦪

Make your body wash/shampoo/conditioner rose scented

Have a rose or sweet scented candle that you light (doesn't have to be on an altar)

Create a skin/body care routine

Have perfume/cologne that you dedicate to her

Wear jewelry that reminds you of her

Carry a pocket charm that reminds you of her (dove works well in a Christian household and is a sacred animal of hers)

Keep a small picture of her in your wallet

Have a dove or swan stuffed animal

Have imagery of beaches, seafoam, seashells (especially clams), wings, hearts, swans, pearls, or doves around

Wear a locket with a picture of someone you love or of her

Give compliments to strangers

Drink water regularly and dedicate a glass of it to her

Collect seashells (if possible)

Collect things you simply find pretty

Plan your outfits/wear clothes that make you feel good

Keep a journal of poetry dedicated to Aphrodite and love-related topics; can also be a general positivity journal or diary (maybe a diary in a way of writing letters to her but saying a code name instead of "Aphrodite")

Keep heart-shaped imagery around

Embrace yourself; give yourself love

Forgive yourself of past mistakes

Give yourself compliments; start small if needed; I recommend doing this in a mirror

Pin up pictures of loved ones on a mirror or wall

If possible, burn some incense in honor of her; strawberry always has a great smell to it

Watch a love-focused movie (romantic or platonic)

Listen to or read stories about acts of kindness and love

Paint your nails or wear make-up (if you enjoy those things and are able to)

Listen to music that makes you feel good; dance to it like nobody's watching!

Have a party where you and your friends create drawings, items, or crafts that you can decorate your rooms with c:

Start a flower garden, especially with roses; tend to a plant

Practice compassion, especially towards yourself

Fall asleep/meditate to the sound of ocean waves or singing birds

Listen to/sing love songs!

Spend time with loved ones

Have a friend's night; go out on the town together, watch movies, go camping, etc.

Spend time with your pets

Take a shower/bath, especially with rose petals and candles (SAFELY!!!!)

Visit a nearby ocean or body of water; stand in the water (if safe) and ground yourself there

Write about your crushes

Make a list of qualities you'd like in a partner; make a list of qualities you don't want (like green flags and flags)

Take a walk alongside a beach/body of water

Take care of your personal hygiene

-

I may add more to this later, but here is my list of subtle ways to worship Aphrodite so far! Worship can absolutely be discreet, and if it needs to be for safety or the like, know that the gods will almost certainly understand. Take care, y'all! 🩷

We will NOT be stressing over people in 2024 when we could be studying and absorbing so much knowledge, learning the piano, taking up horseback riding, upgrading our skincare routines, reading so many more books, spending so much more time off our phones, giving the love rejected by some people to others who want it and return it in kind, learning music theory, taking up a language (French for me), saving up to travel, developing financial literacy, focusing on our goals, revamping our fashion sense, getting good at photography, carrying a camera everywhere w us, expanding our music knowledge, working out more consistently, and learning so many more recipes

You don’t realize how important hyperfixations are to someone with adhd until you’re in between hyperfixations and you’re bored but don’t really feel motivated enough to do anything and everything you try feels like a chore and you’re just kind of sitting there existing because nothing really inspires interest or motivation and you feel like the living embodiment of the word “meh”.

“i will fall in love with you, over and over again”

“don’t tell me you’re not the same person”

Remember when creating new (healthy) habits, that you are replacing the bad ones. Adding new things to your life will absolutely feel tiring and time consuming. But it is because you are looking at it based on how you operate now. The goal is to replace. New, healthier habits will require different things from your lifestyle. It will also expand your mind, change your perspective and open you up to new interests and way of living.
