To me, Hermes is the sensation of the wind against me as I run; The happiness of sharing a good conversation with my friends; The laugh that comes from my mouth whenever I hear or share a joke. This is magical and precious, so thank you, Hermes.
Dionysos Maenoles, raging wine-dark God,
all I can ask is your love and your fury.
When I am broken, I do not have to be remade;
remind me each crack in my being
has a reason to be; remind me my anger
is righteous in its own way. Teach me moderation
even as you teach me release.
Like Ariadne love me, take me
for your own;
like Pentheus tear me apart.
Dionysos prayer, for winedarkrage // r.s.b. (via falanx)

“ὃ δ᾽ ὄλβιος, ὅν τινα Μοῦσαι φίλωνται: γλυκερή οἱ ἀπὸ στόματος ῥέει αὐδή. - But he is blessed, whomever the Muses love: Sweet speech flows from his mouth.”
— Hesiod, Theogony 96-7. (via terpsikeraunos)
