Goddesses – Melpomene

Melpomene – One of the Nine Greek Muses

In GREEK MYTHOLOGY, the NINE MUSES provided inspiration for literature, art, music, and science. They were the DAUGHTERS OF ZEUSTHE KING OF THE GODS, and the goddess of memory, MNEMOSYNE. The nine Muses were also goddesses who lived above the summits of MOUNT OLYMPUS, Helicon, Parnassus, and the Pindus. Melpomene was one of the nine Muses. Her sisters were CLIOTHALIACALLIOPEPOLYHYMNIAEUTERPEERATOTERPSICHORE, and URANIA. Each Muse was assigned a specific role. These roles were history, comedy, poetry, music, dancing, singing, sacred hymns, rhetoric, and harmony. Melpomene’s role was the tragedy.

A tragedy is a form of ancient Greek drama that was performed in open-air theatres in Athens and forms the foundation of modern theatre. The origin of tragedy is debated by scholars. It is believed that tragedy began as a performance of epic poetry that included worship rituals to the god of theatre, DIONYSUS. The subject matter of Greek tragedy dealt with moral right and wrongs, and the performers would wear masks to impersonate a god. There were up to three performers with speaking roles and up to 15 performers in the chorus who only sang. All performers were male and played both male and female roles.

Images of Melpomene often depict her as holding a tragic mask in one hand and a sword in the other hand. She usually has a wreath in her hair and wears boots that were worn by tragic actors called cothurnus. An ancient Greek dramatist would call on the name of Melpomene to help him create his work. All nine Muses were immortal and could bless mortals with artistic gifts that they could use beautify their songs, add grace to their dances, and provide healing and comfort to the sick and heartbroken. Muses could also be resentful toward any mortal who did not believe in their artistic powers.

Gods – Helios

Helios – The Greek Sun God

A handsome TITAN with flowing hair, driving a golden chariot pulled by four fiery steeds across the sky. That was the image that would come to the minds of ancient Greeks when they thought of Helios. To them, he was the representation of the sun and sunlight, traveling across the sky every day. Some authors report that select Greeks revered him as much as they did Zeus.

Helios Appearance

Artwork of the time often shows Helios to be wearing a shining aureole, or halo, of the sun upon his head. He had piercing eyes and long, curly hair.

Family History

Helios was the son of the Titan HYPERION and the Titaness, THEIA, making him a second generation Titan.
His sisters were goddesses SELENE, the moon, and EOS, the dawn.

Wives

The Titan had several wives and consorts. Among them were his sister, Selene, and Perse, an OCEANID.

Children of Helios

Helios sired many children with his different wives. The Charites, Phaethon, The HORAEPASIPHAËCIRCE, Aeëtes, Heliadae, and Heliades are among his known offspring.

The All Seeing Eye

It is not uncommon so see Helios given the epitaph Panoptes, or all-seeing, as the Greeks believed that he could witness anything in the heavens or on earth.

According to the myth about PERSEPHONE’S abduction by HADES, it was Helios who saw the crime occur. When DEMETER, Persephone’s mother, demanded to know the whereabout of her daughter, the Titan was able to inform her that Hades had kidnapped the goddess.

Another tale illustrating his ability describes Helios witnessing an affair between APHRODITE and ARES. He reported this to HEPHAESTUS, Aphrodite’s husband, and helped set a trap to catch the two lovers. Caught in the act, the gods then banished Ares from Olympus for his crime.

This ability would have made him a valuable friend to keep and a frightening enemy to have.

Daily Travels

As the sun god, Helios would make a daily journey across the sky. Four horses, Aethon, Pyrois, Phlegon and Eous, drew his chariot.

Each morning, his sister, EOS, would paint the dawn sky with her fingers and pull the misty curtain, through which Helios would appear, aside. He would drive his blazing chariot across the heavens until his travels were complete. At this time, he would he would hide in a golden cup that fell to earth while his sister, Eos, would begin her nightly trek.

Meeting with Hercules

Legend has it that one day while lost in his quest to find the island of Erythia, HERCULES grew frustrated and shot an arrow towards the sun. Upon realizing what he had done, he apologized to the Titan. Helios, however, was so taken with the boldness of this action that he presented Hercules with his golden cup. Hercules was then able to use this cup to reach his destination.

Helios Appearance in The Odyssey

Helios has a small but notable role in the Odyssey. When Odysseus and his men land on Thrinacia, one of the islands dedicated to the sun god, Odysseus warns them not to touch any of Helios’ cattle or sheep that graze on the land. They do not heed this warning and, in his absence, slaughter some of the best of the animals.

Alerted to this by one of his daughters, Helios appeals to ZEUS for revenge. He threatens to take the sun and shine it onto the dead of the UNDERWORLD, instead of on the earth, if the men’s act goes unpunished. Zeus then strikes the crew’s ship with a lightning bolt, killing everyone except for ODYSSEUS.

Cult Worship

The island of Rhodes, believed to have been shaped by Helios, is a place where people honored him as an important deity. Legend has it that when the island first came into being, it was muddy and uninhabitable. Helios dried the land and filled it with life, including seven of his sons known as Heliadae. Because of Helios’ life-giving intervention, some residents of the island worshiped him, and the island became sacred to Helios.

In the 3rd Century BC the people of Rhodes built the COLOSSUS OF RHODES which was a 30 metre (90 foot) statue of Helios, it was won of the SEVEN WONDERS of the Ancient world.

The Dorians, one of the four major ethnic groups of Greece at the time, also seemed to have celebrated Helios more than many Greeks of the era. There is even speculation that they were the people who brought the worship of the sun god to Rhodes.

Conclusion

Despite having what some historians believe to be a significant place in the Greeks’ hearts, Helios did not play a massive part in their mythology, and it seems that he was eventually replaced by APOLLO. Nevertheless, his image as the handsome Titan driving a blazing chariot pulled through the sky by his fire-breathing steeds lives on to this day.

Archangel –

The Guardian of Sunday – Archangel Michael

From numerologist.com

Archangel Michael is the resonant Angel of Sundays.

Often called St. Michael the Archangel, he’s the leader of all archangels and is known by many as the guardian of lightworkers.

He’s all-powerful, so regardless of what you need, he is your go-to Angel.

He is strong, courageous, inspiring and motivating and his chief function is to rid the earth and its inhabitants of fear and negative energy.

Archangel Michael is often depicted carrying a sword which he uses to cut away emotional entanglements, freeing those who request his assistance from fear, negativity and unwanted attachments. He is here to guide you toward your true life purpose while empowering you with the courage and confidence you need to be a shining light in the world.

Invoke his presence and he will guard and protect you from the kinds of negativity coming from other people, situations and hostile environments by surrounding you with a shield of love.

Archangel Michael resonates with the color blue, with the Sun – the source of all light on Earth – and with the number 6.

From whats-your-sign.com

The archangel Michael is in charge of this day.  In the Hebrew language, Michael’s name means: ‘One who is as God’. Sunday and Michael are both associated with the Sun. This makes a lot of sense.  Consider, Sunday in earlier eras was commonly established as the day of Sabbath, or day of worship.  The symbolic meaning of the Sun is akin to the spirit, the light that shines bright within us, the fire within the soul.  Archangel Michael and the Sun are mighty partners to enhance our virtues, devotionals, prayers and meditations on Sunday.

(This series of archangels of the day will continue for the next 6 weeks)

Good Day Dear WoTC Family

I hope this finds everyone doing well today!

After a good 11 hours of sleep I am feeling a lot better. It amazes me how much sleep plays into a feeling of general wellbeing for the mind, body, and spirit. Sleep when interrupted by many things like nightmares or a beloved pet/familiar wanting a drink in the middle of the night or by physical pain just to name a few reasons can leave you feeling as if you had not slept at all the following day. My phycologists has given me three questions to ask myself each night before I go to sleep, and I took it a step farther by dumping everything in my mind that might make it hard to fall asleep in a journal. I did it for a couple of days and slept soundly than I skipped a couple of days and either had insomnia or nightmares so now I know this is something that will work to help me sleep well. Let me know these things help you to fall asleep easier or have a more restful nights slumber.

The three questions are:

What 1 to 3 things did you accomplish today, no matter how small? Yes, just getting out of bed counts or taking a shower or making yourself coffee…

Name 3 things you are grateful for happening today…

Name 1 to 3 things you can look forward to tomorrow…

Modality: Fixed. This presents how much extremes and seriousness exists in the lives of those born on April 28 and how logical they are in general.

Ruling house: The second house. This is the space of material possession and other things an individual values in life. The combination with Taurus can only double his/her quest for personal possession, whether we’re talking about money or principles.

Ruling body: Venus. This celestial planet is said to influence generosity and intelligence. It is also to be mentioned about the tidiness of these natives. Venus is one of the planets with double rulership, over Taurus and Libra.

Element: Earth. This is the element responsible to the practicality and down to earthiness in the lives of those born on April 28. It is modeled by water and fire and incorporates air.

Lucky day: Friday. Taurus best identifies with the flow of the illuminating Friday while this is doubled by the connection between Friday and its ruling by Venus.

Lucky numbers: 2, 4, 13, 19, 26.

Motto: “I own!”

More information

People born on April 28 are peaceful and elegant and they often borrow this attitude to those they come in contact with. There is something calming and soothing about their presence, maybe because they are security conscious and prefer comfortable settings. On this note, they also avoid uncertainty at all costs. They are faithful and tactful but can also be direct and decisive when matters of great importance for them arise.

Positive traits: These natives are persistent and convincing when they want something but at the same time, they never abandon their elegance and politeness. They are highly reliable so they keep their promises, especially when their reputation is at stake. They are generous and affectionate but it is also quick for them to turn a cold shoulder if you are not behaving in the same respectable way as they do.

Negative traits: These natives are prone to building up anguish and emotions of unworthiness as they dwell in their own perceived deficiencies rather than find mechanism to beat them up. They are quite irritable in regard a lot of things, often insecure and are desirous, although they try to appear stable, poised and assured. They need to understand that the intervention of those close can be beneficial at times and they need to learn to make settlings at times.

Love and Compatibility

Lovers born on April 28 are passionate and committed. They are rather affectionate and stable rather than adventurous and they prefer to settle for a serious relationship rather than date many people. They are attracted to creative and fun people whom can keep their interest alive and with whom they can spoil and protect. You can conquer the heart of Taurus if you are all eyes on them but also maintain your individuality and degree of independence. This single native is not making a drama out of his single status but even enjoys time alone and enters a relationship only when is prepared to. They believe in love at first sight and don’t need much time to get attached to someone. They are persons of extremes in love and sometimes this attitude will have them prone to disappointment. They are used to intensely live every aspect of their life and their relationships are no exception. They are likely to fall in love at a young age as they are attractive and positive persons. Concerning their family life they will marry when they are completely ready and they will probably be cool parents if they choose to have a one big family. They are most compatible with those born on the 4th, 6th, 8th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 22nd, 24th, 26th, and 31st.

April 28 Zodiac people are very attached to the other two earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn as they tend to share the same vision of life. In life, Taurus is in a constant search for someone attractive and mysterious that can keep their interest alive and the one to offer them this is the native in Scorpio. The lover in Taurus is thought to be least compatible with Aries. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Taurus, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

What is a Witch’s Familiar?

While many Witches have cats as familiars many of us have other furry or winged beings. A familiar is not an animal that goes out to do a Witch’s bidding, or to spy on their enemies or steal energy from others. A Witch’s familiar is their companion, a being that can help calm them as well as add power to some spells and/or rituals. They are not mean and attack people as they are so often portrayed as doing in films, TV shows, books, etc. You may be asking yourself “How do I know if a pet is my familiar or not?” or even “How do I find my familiar?” The best answers I have for these are if you feel a special bond with your pet, I’m not talking about a normal I love my pet kind of thing but

You may be asking yourself “How do I know if a pet is my familiar or not?” or even “How do I find my familiar?” The best answers I have for these are if you feel a special bond with your pet, I’m not talking about a normal I love my pet kind of thing, but it is hard to put into words, but I will try, it is a calming effect whenever you are upset and your pet comes to you or it makes you feel complete as a living being. You more than likely have one of your familiars for this lifetime. Now if you don’t have it or any pet and are looking for one my suggestion is first figure out if you are more drawn to dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters or…well I think you get where I’m going here. After that visit shelters, reliable pet shops, rescue places or even read the

Now if you don’t have it or any pet and are looking for one my suggestion is first figure out if you are more drawn to dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters or…well I think you get where I’m going here. After that visit shelters, reliable pet shops, rescue places or even read the classifieds in the newspaper and then go to see the animal(this is how I found my Cleo). Make sure you meet any animal that catches your eye. Do not make a snap decision but visit with the animal and see if it pick you as its human, pick it up cuddle with it or if it is to big for you to pick up and you can get down on its level. Believe me when I say you will know the animal is your familiar as soon as you make close physical contact with it. You will have a feeling a connection to that animal immediately.

Now we all know our lifespan is a lot longer then our companions/familiars is. Not to worry just as we live many lifetimes so do our familiars. So far for me in this lifetime my familiar has come to me as a cat, Tuffy, when I was 10 years old, he lived to be 17, then I got (my children…hahaha) a half cocker spaniel-half shelty mix, Boots, in my 30’s who lived for 14 1/2 years and now as my beautiful Cleo. The reason for me going so long in between Tuffy and Boots was I was in a rocky place on my life path barely able to take care of myself some days much less a pet plus I had fallen away from my Spiritual self and I hadn’t met the right companion for me during that time. Then between Boots and Cleo there was about a year and half while I was deciding what kind of pet I wanted. One day a friend of my husbands came over and brought his 4-month-old Min Pin, I had never really seen the breed before even though I had been working with canines for over 40 years and fell in love with the breed. So the search began and about 5 months later my hubby came home with an ad he had pulled out of our local newspaper for a breeder selling Min Pins very cheap. We called, made an appointment to see the litter, went to the breeders home and there were 3 girls and 1 boy. I was looking for a male only because up until this time my familiars had been male but the Universe had different plans for me this time. I put my hand into the enclosure the puppies were in and Cleo came up to chew on my engagement ring, lick my hand and try to climb over the fence, mind you, she was only 5 inches tall and weighed in at 2 pounds. I took my hand away from her trying to pet her siblings, she would have none of that as she pushed them away from my hand. So after putting my hand in and out a few times to see if she would keep coming over, which she did. When my hubby put his hand in there the same thing happened, she pushed everyone else out of the way to get to his hand. I asked to hold her and there was instant bond with her and I. While her and my hubby are friendly there is no doubt that she is my companion and familiar.

Added note 2015– In 2014 I got a rescue Chihuahua, named Starbabie. She is now three years old and is another familiar of mine. I do not know why I have two of them in my life right now, but I am grateful for it. Towards the beginning of this year I was alone in our home for almost week with just my girls, I live next door to a state-run group home for boys some of who just got out of jail for violent crimes. Even though my girls are small I was not worried because Cleo kept watch on the outside of the house (through the picture windows in the living room and my den) and Star never left my side

A Very Happy Thought Today

I am so excited and pleased to announce that Big Dawg picked the Summer Solstice, June 21, 2023, as our wedding date. Something I totally agree with. This is just the legal ceremony at our local courthouse. Our Handfasting will take place on November 28, 2023 that will be done either in person or via Skype by the woman who introduced us a couple of decades ago and is a featured writer for Herbal This and That, Lady Rhiannon. Being able to set this date took longer than we hoped but we both needed to finalize divorces from spouse we hadn’t lived with for 3 years and over 2o years. The Handfasting’s attendance will be invitation only because we are limited on the number of people who can join us on Skype that day.

Moon Alert

After 2:45 AM EDT today, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a tough day, pure and simple. Parents might be challenged dealing with their kids. Romantic partners might be at loggerheads. Disputes about the cost of a vacation or a social occasion or something to do with sports or your kids might also arise. (Maybe a sorry topic from the past?) Hang in there.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a challenging day, and it’s best if you know this right off the bat –then you can gird yourself and be prepared. Relations with parents, bosses, VIPs, teachers and the police will be tough. Even family dynamics will be testy. Take a step back. Give everything some space. Don’t get involved.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Power struggles and quarrels about politics, religion or practically anything might arise today. They will catch you off guard because you don’t see it coming. The secret is – don’t take the bait. You don’t have to respond. Refuse to get embroiled. Walk away.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Money squabbles as well as difficulties with friends and groups are par for the course today. These arguments might be about real issues, or they could be naked power struggles. Either way, you don’t need this. Channel your energy somewhere else.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Because the Moon is in your sign today, you are more excitable and more emotional than usual. On top of this, you might be at odds with authority figures – parents, bosses, teachers and the police – a dangerous combo! Take a step back. Remove yourself. Take the high road.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

People might become embroiled in issues perhaps related to your job, your health, a pet or broader social issues dealing with politics and religion. Don’t get involved in these today because a resolution will not be easy. People will argue. Do something else.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You like harmony in your surroundings (even though you’re an excellent debater). Today people are at odds about financial issues, social plans, inheritances and shared property. Because there is a volatile energy to everything – don’t get involved. Sidestep this.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Power struggles with authority figures as well as partners and close friends could be nasty today – but only if you participate. If you remove yourself from this equation, you are protected. Decide not to get involved because things are too difficult today. (You gotta know when to hold and when to fold.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Squabbles with siblings, relatives and neighbours might arise today. Ditto for difficulties with coworkers. If you get embroiled, you’ll end up with egg on your face. (Ketchup helps.) Far better to avoid these quarrels and discuss these matters on another day. Ya think?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Money issues about social occasions, kids, the arts, as well as arguments about the division of labour or shared expenses, (especially with romantic partners) are classic today. But you always have a choice. You can get involved and argue, or you can choose to not get involved. It’s allowed!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Domestic problems might be a drag today. Dealing with partners, close friends and parents (especially family you haven’t seen for a while) might get you down. If you can remove yourself from this situation that would be ideal. (Not always possible.) Stay objective.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a mildly accident-prone day for you because heightened feelings, especially about angry encounters with others, might be a distraction that causes you to have a physical accident, or to say something that you will later regret. Don’t let this happen. Maintain your cool. Stay chill and be a role model for others.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Siobhan Finneran (1966) shares your birthday today. You are independent and self-reliant. You function well spending time alone. You often feel you’re more productive this way This is a year when relationships will be important. It’s also time to rejuvenate yourself. Do not hesitate to ask for help from others this year.

Aries

You are full of emotions and quick to react today. You will probably benefit from being all charming and interesting to everyone else so it will be a lot easier for you to convince people to stay on your side.

It seems that today’s motto is flirting your way out of trouble, too bad that it only works with strangers so you should avoid any other argument with your partner or with someone else in your family.

Taurus

This day seems to be all about romance as well as yesterday. Be it that someone has caught your attention and you can’t get your mind to stop thinking about them or that you simply fantasize about finding someone special.

Good news and bad news, there is a high change that you meet people and have fun but there is not the best time to start something serious or think that you have found the one.

Gemini

This day will bring with itself the premises of a life lesson, be it at work or at home. In your professional life you might be faced with the consequences of a past error or neglecting and you might have to learn the hard way to pay better attention in the future.

At home, you might get into a heated argument with someone in the family who is not happy with the way you have been behaving lately.

Cancer

This day will bring some sort of financial opportunity for you. Be it that you are given some sort of bonus at work or that you meet someone that could help you with a project of yours in your spare time, there are high chances that sun will raise on this street of yours.

Other than that you are feeling energized and fully sharp and this confidence will get you in a creative mood.

Leo

Today will be a day dedicated to spending time with your friends because all their invites and insistence have finally gotten to you and you are somewhat decided to make time for them as well.

There is a good thing to launch yourself in such activities because they will give you some sense of entertainment and even get you to relax a bit and blow off some steam.

Virgo

Quite a peaceful and unassuming day for you ahead as there are going to be little to no things to bother you. Not that you are in the best mood but more that you are accepting and calm to whatever happens.

It’s like that state before going on vacation when you feel relaxed and waiting for new and more adventurous things to happen. Take your time to relax properly this day.

Libra

This day will bring you news from far away. Be it that you have someone dear living far from you and they are giving you some news or that you receive some professional foreign correspondence.

There is a great occasion for you to make use of this new information you get and even set some plans for the next week according to it. This day is favorable for short distance travel as well.

Scorpio

Today you will have the chance to take care of an important task at work, be it something that you do frequently or something that has just come up in your department.

Make sure you are all invested in what you are doing and there is no chance of error. This important responsibility might leave you all stressed out so try to plan going out with your partner or with friends later on to get a chance to vent.

Sagittarius

There might be some opinion differences between you and your partner occurring out of nowhere today and you might need to take some time off your usual activities to bring this fire down.

There are probably things that have been bothering your partner for some time and now simply rose to the surface. You might want to consider ways in which to make up for your distraction.

Capricorn

Today might offer you the chance to get out of a toxic partnership that has been creating you problems lately. Be it that the stars refer to something at work or that you need to reconsider the relationship with your partner.

If there are things not working the way they should, maybe it’s time to speak out in the open about them and take what measures you feel are best for you.

Aquarius

This day will begin with you having to deal will all sorts of mundane activities. Nothing unusual up to this point for an old’ Thursday. However, it seems that after lunch you will be filled with this enthusiasm and desire to do something big and you might end up planning a night out or a games night at home with your friends.

Try and keep your spirits up to seeing your plans in completion because there is a high change your enthusiasm will disappear during the afternoon.

Pisces

This is going to be quite a wishing day for you as you are inclined to dreaming everything to pieces and to simply ignore reality. As it seems you can’t be bothered with serious things maybe it would be best for you to postpone important tasks for the next week and then try to take the rest of the time off.

Just try to use it to plan some courageous endeavor not just dream hopelessly.
