Hades

I have been looking forward to introducing some of my favorite underworld myths and legends and gods.  Yes, my friend Hades has a nasty reputation but believe it or not his name simply means "the unseen one".  As I study the myths I find that Hades who took care of his people who were sick, dying and a plain old mess; I find him to be a scapegoat more than an evil god.

In my opinion (if you know the background story) I do believe that Persephone wanted to be with Hades where she was the Queen of the Realm.  This is why Zeus allowed her to remain yoked to Hades.  Even the great Hecate (whom even Zeus was jealous of her magic) volunteered to remain in Hades.  And Hermes and Dionysius always come to visit.  Why?  Well I find it acceptable to just be yourself in Hades.  You can indulge pretty much any whim and be covered in secrecy.  Since everyone believes you to be dead.

Sounds like something out of Harry Potter and the cloak of invisibility right?  Or Elijah granting Elisha the mantle (cloak/double portion) with all the blessings of ambrosia and friends.  Its really not so bad.  Let me tell you, we can learn healing arts, magic, speak to the hero's of history and its a place where you can become a hero and save a dead soul.  Many adventures in this Inferno are to be had.
I encourage you all to look beyond the surface and see, really see.  For even Jesus himself speaks of ONE God in the Bible, he says "Yes, Hades is Real."  And I have been told God is like ultimate reality.

I find I know nothing about death but as I study more I find out more about healing and have been blessed in this seemingly hopeless place.  But then again, nothing is as it seems.

Go on your own Grail Quest and comment about what you find.

Perseus, and Being Human.....is it possible there are semi divine humans in the world today?

As I paint my daugter's room and think of the Ancient Greek heroes I have been inspired by Perseus, the son of Zeus and Danae.  So I am going to tell a basic story and let you do the rest of the research on your own.  The room has a medusa's head in an ocean themed room with coral rocks and a surf board lamp.  Its coming along quite well.  This is the same room in my home that ghost faces (pirates of all things) appeared in the window.  I will share the picture below.  Apparently they have some type of message to relate to my readers.   The symbol of Perseus is the Medusa's head, he was often told not to listen to the fates who spoke of doom, but to listen to the voice of his own conscience.  Perseus' earth father tried to prevent Danae from becoming pregnant under the same circumstances that Zeus suffered from Chronos.   This is the background story.  Unfortunately Zeus disguised came to Danae and impregnated her with Perseus.  The hidden son.  Another hero who was u

HECATE: THE QUEEN OF WITCHES?

Although Hecate was not a goddess but a Titan Giant, she chose to assist Zeus with the overthrow of his father Chronos.  All the gods were impressed with her magic ability and she is rumored to be the fourth sister of the the three fates.  Hecate lived in Ydaggrisil or the world tree, supposedly cursed to turn from child to woman to elder woman all in a 24 hour period.  As the Queen of Magick, Zeus was jealous of her power and she was honored by the God above however she chose to stay in Hades with him and Persephone.
