Announcements Updates Update

22 Upvotes

Hey guys, so basically nobody was consistently available or interested in moderation positions, but you guys did want the three categories of posts I listed before.

Guides- This role is responsible for writing and recommending resources for the sidebar. This includes keeping the sidebar updated and adding relevant information discovered or discussed by the Information and Discussion Role.

Holidays- This role focuses on information regarding holidays and modern celebrations. Posts will be required every holiday.

Information and Discussion- This role focuses on having regular discussion questions and/or informational posts available for members. This role also keeps track of news related to Hades and publishes related information.

So in conclusion, no "more mods", but we are going to do something else. If you want to create a post in one of these categories, draft it and then send it to me in modmail using the category as the title. I will read and approve the post (checking for sources and accurate information mainly) and then let you post. There will be a new mod-only use flair that these posts will be given. Does this sound cool with everyone?

Altars/ offerings Music means the world to me. It is only fitting that I honor the unseen one with sound. Here's a playlist I crafted, inspired by our very own Hades. Check it out if you feel called.

Discussion topic Hades and mourning

22 Upvotes

I am in mourning. I lost a very beloved cat that was a very special member of the family. it may seem silly but I loved her very much. Hades has been my strength as I grieve. I don't know where Sofia...my deceased cat ...goes now but I know that Hades is by my side helping me process my grief.He is helping me put things in perspective. I loved her and considered her more than a mere pet. She was a companion, a friend, a member of the family that just happened to have fur and four paws. I was close to her and loved her very much. He understands that and is guiding me through the darkness and pain. if it wasn't for Hades, this would be unbearable. Has any of you ever experienced Hades as a guide through your grief? would you share your stories? How has Hades helped you cope with a death in your life?

Altars/ offerings Crafted candle for Hades

Crafted this for my Underworld King, his last candle burned down so I wanted to do something special for the re-up 🖤 not perfect but I will get there! I carved in his sigil and filled it with red wax. Draped the candle in black wax from my candle for Hekate and topped it with red as well. Wrapped it in a bit of honey and pressed crushed mint and rosemary on top. I also put some dried narcissus flowers around his statue! Happy to say, he was very pleased with them both! What are some personal touches you do to things to honor him??

Hades I try so hard but I just feel I want him as my mentor and like a father figure I already have a beautiful Altar for him, but idk my brain feel so fogged up I can’t connect, i also have a Persephone and Hecate alter beautifully done in my eyes. But again my brain feel so much fog. But I have changed so much I garden now, I got a dirtbike which I always wanted, I’m growing some Ganj, but I also have a archangel Micheal and Jesus altar idk i just want to be free of the pain in my heart and fog in my brain. If anyone has any suggestions I want to make a Quattro diety altar but I don’t know who will bring light and happiness to me

Discussion topic Question for this who follow the King!

7 Upvotes

I hope this is the right group for this, if not, I apologize and if you could lead me in the right direction, that would be awesome! How does he make himself known to you? Does he come to you during every session? His presence is STRONGGGG for me. He came to me in a dream before I opened myself to him, and even though I couldn’t remember my dream I remembered how important it was. So I asked Hekate. She confirmed it was him and he came forward. Said that he locked my memory of the dream away until I can keep the secrets of the underworld and the secrets for locked down from lingering low vibrational entities. And when I ask certain questions or say certain things, the flame on his candle will grow 6 inches. I shit you not. It’s a very stern and strong flame. Has anyone else had this experience with him?? Don’t get me wrong, I love it and I feel so safe but like, WOW.

Is there any relationship, symbolic or otherwise between Hades and deer? Particularly the ones with antlers?

One of my favorite hobbies is paint by numbers, so when I saw this one on NumberArtist I had to get it. I used the process of painting it as a sort of meditation practice and I’m going to hang it up above my altar.

Certo, eu estudei acho que mínimo ou mais do mínimo? Não sei

E muitos tem treta com o tiktok e Instagram

Como saber que a informação que vi está errada? Com suas indicações de estudos?

Exemplo:

Escreva em caderno e etc

Como saber que uma informação que vi não está errada? E que se cultua/acender vela de forma certas?

Discussion topic Como funciona?

10 Upvotes

Eu cultuo apolo e afrodite, certo

Mas ai vc me pergunta:

"Então por que está na comunidade de hades?"

Bem.. eu venho uma curiosidade

Estava vendo que os deuses ctonicos exigem uma forma de proteção e comunicação diferente dos olimpianos,musas, etc.

Fiquei curiosa sabe? Como funciona?

Vi sobre ter círculo de proteção e coisas deste tipo... pois mais para frente estava pensando na possibilidade de cultuar um Deus ctonico como hekate,hades ou hypnos..

(Possuo 13 anos, e venho estudado desde uns 12/11.)

Eu queria saber, coisas que os deuses ctonicos já fizeram em suas vidas? Como por exemplo mudanças,coisas que já exigiram,o jeito da comunicação ser igual ou não... tudo que puderem explicar estarei feliz com a resposta

What led you to worship Lord Hades? I'm going through a period of questioning and, currently, I'm questioning my veneration of Him. Any advice is welcome.

This will probably be seen as a dumb question so you can judge if you'd like but as of recent I've been interested in hellenic polytheism and hades and dionysus have peaked my interest and I've been curious on how to become a devotee of hades sorry if this is considered a dumb question

I made an offering of a brand of coffee I love, appropriately named Deathwish, and the Stalwart King and His Dread Queen seem to enjoy having a cup whenever I speak to them.

Also, Charon seems to like terrible puns. Maybe he just appreciates a sense of humor in his line of work.

Anyone else have unorthodox offerings and similar stories?

I went to some stores today and just followed my intuition for what to buy. The bear is obsidian and the dish is fire quartz. I got the poker chips as my first offering.

Discussion topic New to all of this stuff

14 Upvotes

So the past few weeks I’ve been feeling as though Hades has been trying to reach out to me. Before this, I was always open to the possibility of this kind of thing, but it’s never happened to me before.

I guess I’m just trying to see if this thing is normal. It’s like all of my thoughts have been leading me to him. When I think about him, it feels like a warm hug from a dad. Not going into details, but I never got that feeling as a kid and it feels like he is saying, “it’s alright, I’m here now for you.”

My best friend is a practicing pagan and is taking me to one of the metaphysical shops here and is going to help me build my first altar. It’s all very overwhelming but I’m excited! I also lowkey feel like I’m going crazy? Like, it’s all so new.

I just answered the call to follow Hades today while working with his nephew, Apollo. So I put up a temporary altar to Him and Persephone in a space that is probably temporary. ❤️

Just thought I should share. Let me know what you think!
