God of the Month –Zeus

Zeus was known as the father of all Gods. He was ruler of mankind. He is one of the most well known Gods. He is of the Greek pantheon and God of the Sky. Child of the Titans Cronus and Rhea.

Titan Cronus was known for being a very jealous, self indulgent, and only thinking of himself so he swallowed every child that Rhea, his wife gave birth to, and it was out of the fear one of his children would steal his throne.

However, when Zeus was born, Rhea managed to trick Cronus with the help of the titans.Uranus and Gaea , giving her husband a rock in swaddling clothes to swallow instead of her baby. Rhea then sent Zeus away to live his life on the Greek island of Crete.

Zeus was raised secretly by the Nymphs and was fed by the goat nurse Amaltheia with honey and milk.

Soon came the day where Zeus grew up and wanted to claim the World and he started a war against his father and the Titans. Zeus managed to liberate his five elder brothers and sisters from his father's stomach by giving him a special herb and making him this way so he could throw up his siblings. With the help of his siblings, Zeus then overthrew the Titans in the depths of the Underworld which were known as Tartarus.

After overthrowing his father Cronus, Zeus was confronted with the Giants and the monster Typhoon, which he fought and won the war. The world was than Zeus’s and his brothers and sisters. They wanted to figure out who would rule the world so they drew lots and Zeus won the draw and was the ruler of the world. He ruled and lived on Mount Olympus, the highest mountain. Zeus was an amorous god who had a roving eye.

The first wife of Zeus was Metis, who was the goddess of wisdom and deviousness. Zeus was so worried that he would lose his Kingdom by his first offspring as it was told in a prophecy that he would, so he decided to swallow Metis when she became pregnant to Athena.

Next, Zeus married Themis, who was the titaness of justice, who bore him the Horae(the hours) and the Moirae(the Fates).

Zeus also mated with the Oceanid Eyrynome, which this is where the three graces were said to be come from. The three graces where goddeses of charm, beauty, and joy.

Zeus afterwards was lovers with several deities and mortals, including Demeter who bore him Persephone (the goddess of the Underworld), Leto, with whom he created the twin gods Artemis and Apollo,the mountain nymph Maia who brought into the world Hermes, and also Mnemosyne, who created the Muses, the goddesses of Arts in Ancient Greek Mythology.

Finally, Zeus picked his sister Hera, who was the goddess of Marriage to become his wife. Together, Zeus and Hera had four children. Eilithya, who was protecting the childbirth, Ares, the god of war, Hebe, the goddess of youth and Hephaestus the god of Metallurgy.

However, Zeus kept having affairs even after his marriage, He was a lusty man lol Zeus never was faithful and he still was cheating on Hera constantly with several mortals and the deities such as Europe , Semele or Alkmene, the mother of Heracles, outraging this way Hera, who was constantly seeking for revenge for his constant not keeping it in his pants!

Divination:

History of Divination: MYSTIC

From the earliest stages of civilization, since as far back as people there have been various means of divination to communicate with the supernatural. . The ancient Romans favored augury (The art of interpreting divine signs was known as augury (augurium). This form of divination was performed by the Roman augurs (augures) and magistrates. Originally augury was performed by interpreting signs from birds to determine whether a proposed action had divine approval) and the Etruscans favored haruspicy, which is a Divination method using animal entrails. The Egyptians, Druids, and Hebrews relied on scrying. The Druids also read entrails of sacrificed animals. The Greeks had their oracle which spoke for the gods. In the Middle Ages grain, sand or peas were tossed onto a field in order to read the patterns that they made after they fell on the ground. Divination can be traced back as far as 1000 BC. Chinese had used the I -Ching which is an oracle which involves the tossing and reading of long short yarrow sticks Divination is most often practiced as a means of foretelling the future, and sometimes the past. It is one of the primary practices used by those that practice the occult such as witches, wizards, medicine men, sorcerers, and shamans. Another ancient Chinese divinatory practice which is still used today is "feng-shui," or geomancy, which involves the erecting of buildings, tombs, and other physical structures by determining the currents of invisible energy throughout the earth. In today’s, world most people also are using feng shui to arrange the furniture in a home or office.

Many practitioners of divination today feel that the art of divination is to help persons and homes and the practice of Divination is not necessarily written in stone – it is simply an aid to help with situations. Most who practice divination believe they still have free choices in their future.

Mystic: There are various types of divination you can practice. I love to do tarot, (cartomancy) pendulum, mirror, water, fire scrying. I also like tasseography or tea leaf reading. I have done areomancy which is when you divine with the clouds and sky. I have worked with an ouja board as well. I have no problems working with the ouja board. The key thing is to ground, center and protect well. It is also good to not work alone in case problems arise. I have had some outstanding positive experiences. I have worked with a dowsing rod and it was very cool walking around and seeing what energy fields were around my house.

Fire: As Mystic has said there are various methods of divination out there, the essential key to them is to find what is right for you. I currently practice as well as utilize various type of the Tarot Cards, Runes, Rune Cards, Crystal Ball, Mirror Scrying, Fire Scrying, Water Scrying, Tea Leaf, Astrology, Capnomancy (divination by smoke), Clairaudience is divination by hearing things inaudible normally, Clairvoyance is divination by "second sight", Bibliomancy is divination by random passages in books. (also called Stichomancy), Biorhythm, and a few others. I enjoy them all and I continue to work with them to keep my skill intact.
