Some say Hera birthed the monstrous Typhon, others that it was Gaia, the Earth. Whoever it was wanted to challenge Zeus and create a new order in the cosmos.   Written and directed by Bibi Jacob. Featuring Sandy Bernard as Hera. Narrated by Bibi Jacob. Sound and production by Geoff Chong. Sources include Nonnus' ‘Dionysiaca', Euripides' ‘Prometheus Bound', the ‘Homeric Hymn to Apollo',  Hesiod's Theogony, Roberto Calasso's 'The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony' and Aratus' ‘Phaenomena.' We were also loosely inspired by the philosophical concept of ‘musica universalis'.

Hekate is a titan goddess blessed by Zeus. What better way to gain a god's favor than by assisting another goddess in the search for her kidnapped daughter?This Sunday, join Liv as she shares the retelling of Homer's Hymn to Demeter, which narrates the abduction of Persephone, the goddess of Spring, by Hades, the God of the Underworld.As with many spiritual interpretations, the context of our times influences how we extract wisdom from ancient mythologies. It's no surprise that contemporary views on Persephone's descent into the underworld to wed her uncle have led to significant modern and literal interpretations. However, the allegorical meanings of this tale extend far beyond any literal readings of today.To better convey the wisdom found in Homer's Hymn, Liv reinterprets the poem in her own words, accompanied by quotes that intrigued her, illuminating the various lessons and depths of wisdom that can be gleaned from this mythology.Tune in to explore a more Hellenistic perspective on this mythological reference to Hekate.FOR MORE CHECK OUT THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@MetaPsycKicksOR READ THE BLOG: https://www.metapsyckicks.com/journalOR JOIN OUR PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/metapsyckicks——-BOOK A PSYCHIC MEDIUM READING:Olivia the Medium: https://www.metapsyckicks.com/liv-readings-----CHAPTERS:0:00 - Intro3:06 - Liv's Life Update9:37 - Homer's Hymn vs. Roman Ovid16:19 - The Abduction of Persephone28:41 - The Reason for 3 Seasons: Horea30:23 - Allegories of the Story36:22 - 3 Quotes41:38 - Hades: Place or Person?48:19 - Trials & Tribulations of Motherhood, Daughterhood, & Relationships1:09:04 - Kore as Hekate or Persephone1:10:45 - Thanks for Listening!-----RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS:Our YouTube Setup ►► https://kit.co/metapsyckicks/meta-psyckicks-youtube-setupOur Podcast Setup ►► https://kit.co/metapsyckicks/meta-psyckicks-podcasting-setupEm's Tarot Collection ►► https://kit.co/metapsyckicks/em-s-tarot-card-collectionOther Divination Tools: ►► https://kit.co/metapsyckicks/other-divination-toolsDISCLAIMER: This description might contain affiliate links that allow you to find the items mentioned in this video and support the channel at no cost to you.

Professor Kozlowski takes on a triple threat of Bronze-Age(ish) underworld stories, namely: The Egyptian Book of the Dead, Inana's Descent to the Underworld (Sumerian), and the Homeric Hymn to Demeter. Along the way, we'll try to make some sense and find patterns among these dense, difficult, and disparate texts, and set the foundation for the later Greek and Roman (and Christian) understandings of the Underworld to come.

fWotD Episode 2645: Homeric Hymns Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 1 August 2024 is Homeric Hymns.The Homeric Hymns (Ancient Greek: Ὁμηρικοὶ ὕμνοι, romanized: Homērikoì húmnoi) are a collection of thirty-three ancient Greek hymns and one epigram. The hymns praise deities of the Greek pantheon and retell mythological stories, often involving a deity's birth, their acceptance among the gods on Mount Olympus, or the establishment of their cult. In antiquity, the hymns were generally, though not universally, attributed to the poet Homer: modern scholarship has established that most date to the seventh and sixth centuries BCE, though some are more recent and the latest, the Hymn to Ares, may have been composed as late as the fifth century CE.The Homeric Hymns share compositional similarities with the Iliad and the Odyssey, also traditionally attributed to Homer. They share the same artificial literary dialect of Greek, are composed in dactylic hexameter, and make use of short, repeated phrases known as formulae. It is unclear how far writing, as opposed to oral composition, was involved in their creation. They may initially have served as preludes to the recitation of longer poems, and have been performed, at least originally, by singers accompanying themselves on a lyre or other stringed instrument. Performances of the hymns may have taken place at sympotic banquets, religious festivals and royal courts.There are references to the Homeric Hymns in Greek poetry from around 600 BCE; they appear to have been used as educational texts by the early fifth century BCE, and to have been collected into a single corpus after the third century CE. Their influence on Greek literature and art was relatively small until the third century BCE, when they were used extensively by Alexandrian poets including Callimachus, Theocritus and Apollonius of Rhodes. They were also an influence on Roman poets, such as Lucretius, Catullus, Virgil, Horace and Ovid. In late antiquity (c. 200 – c. 600 CE), they influenced both pagan and Christian literature, and their collection as a corpus probably dates to this period. They were comparatively neglected during the succeeding Byzantine period (that is, until 1453), but continued to be copied in manuscripts of Homeric poetry; all the surviving manuscripts of the hymns date to the fifteenth century. They were also read and emulated widely in fifteenth-century Italy, and indirectly influenced Sandro Botticelli's painting The Birth of Venus.The Homeric Hymns were first published in print by Demetrios Chalkokondyles in 1488–1489. George Chapman made the first English translation of them in 1624. Part of their text was incorporated, via a 1710 translation by William Congreve, into George Frideric Handel's 1744 musical drama Semele. The rediscovery of the Homeric Hymn to Demeter in 1777 led to a resurgence of European interest in the hymns. In the arts, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe used the Hymn to Demeter as an inspiration for his 1778 melodrama Proserpina. Their textual criticism progressed considerably over the nineteenth century, particularly in German scholarship, though the text continued to present substantial difficulties into the twentieth. The Homeric Hymns were also influential on the English Romantic poets of the early nineteenth century, particularly Leigh Hunt, Thomas Love Peacock and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Later poets to adapt the hymns included Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and Constantine P. Cavafy. Their influence has also been traced in the works of James Joyce, the films of Alfred Hitchcock, and the novel Coraline by Neil Gaiman.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:47 UTC on Thursday, 1 August 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Homeric Hymns on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Arthur.

We had a fabulous deep conversation about Demeter, who often comes to us when it's time for us to "get it together," whatever the "it" may be for us personally. Demeter, the mother of Persephone, is a significant goddess in Greek and Roman mythology. She represents the natural cycle, agriculture, order, civilization, and the ruling of the home.  The Homeric Hymn to Demeter recounts the story of Persephone's abduction and Demeter's profound grief and anger. In the story, Persephone has been traumatized and abducted by Hades, all with the preapproval of her father (and his brother), Zeus. In her grief, Demeter's refusal to let the seasons change symbolizes the powerlessness and sorrow of a mother who has lost her child.  However, the Orphic Hymn to Demeter gives a fuller picture of her might and majesty. We explore some of her fascinating ancient history, and then bring the conversation forward to today, with our own understanding of her. We all have differing opinions and personal experiences of Demeter, so this is a very spirited conversation. Consider joining me, Christen, Liz, Melanie, Margie, Nicole, Leah, and Alyssa in Covina.

Revisiting the must underrated of Olympians... Hephaestus beyond the drama: the importance and lasting impact of the god of the forge (there are *robots*!). CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

You may know them as the Dioscuri - sons of Zeus - or as the Gemini Twins. In this episode discover the very unusal afterlife of the inimitable Castor and Polydeuces. Written and directed by Bibi Jacob. Starring David Stanley as Polydeuces, Kester Lovelace as Castor and Chris Mack as Hermes. Sound and production by Geoff Chong. Recorded at the SACD studios in Paris.  The quote from the Homeric Hymn to the Dioscuri comes from the  Evelyn-White translation.

There is a light so deep inside of meThat nothing can extinguish.It has burned through a thousand lifetimes, Always leading me back to Hekate's Cave. Christen Bennett (She/Her) - Coven Key Bearer, Coyote Mae (they/them) apGovannon Guide-Key of Lampadia and I sat down for an illuminating conversation about Hekate Lampadios, The Torch Bearer. Perhaps there is no more iconic contemporary symbol of Hekate than her torches. There are several references to Her torches in various ancient texts. In ancient rituals, spells and tales Hekate is seen as lighting the way with her blazing torches. Perhaps the most commonly known is The Homeric Hymn to Demeter where Hekate's torches light Persephone's way to and from the underworld. We light up the history, and how we connect to her sacred fire in this spirited discussion.

This week Jeff and Dave wrap up their two-part series on the Homeric Hymn to Demeter. Here we learn about Demophoon, infant child of Queen Metaneira of Eleusis. It seems he has a problem with mortality, and Demeter has the cure: nightly fire purgations. As the kids say, "srsly?" But things don't go so well when the blazing goddess of grain is caught in the act of burning off Demophoon's (not huggable but mortal) portions, and rather than wreak havoc on the innocent inhabitants of Eleusis, she decides to set up a cult and allow them to worship her. Meanwhile, what about Persphone? Hey girl, beware the pomegranate! Tune in for an update on Dave's Greece trip, the usual, blithe and bland banter, and maybe a pun or two about Grape Nuts. As the kids say, "Whaaa?"

After a welcome hiatus for all of us (especially you, listener), Jeff and Dave are back in the studio for a look at the archaic hymn to the goddess Demeter. Was this intended to be used in the ritual and liturgy of the mystery cult, or is it just a breezy, Saturday afternoon matinee poem? Clocking in at 495 lines, how does this eypllion differ from the shorter poems from the seventh century? What is a mystery religion, how does this one compare to the cults of Mithras and Dionysus, and exactly how small do scientists intend to make tomatoes, while being sure we will still ingest them? Tune in for the answers to these and other pressing questions as the summer rolls along.

Numerous myths, ubiquitous to great civilizations spanning the globe, reflect a deep-rooted belief in an intimate connection between a human being and a tree. The Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite proclaims that when the tree is injured, the tree nymph also hurts, “…but when the fate of death is near at hand, first those lovely trees wither where they stand, and the bark shrivels away about them, and the twigs fall down, and at last the life of the Nymph and of the tree leave the light of the sun together”.

Linked to both the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth, Hermes Trismegistus is credited, through legend, with thousands of mystical and philosophical writings of high standing, each reputed to be of immense antiquity. During the Renaissance, a collection of such writings known as the Corpus Hermeticum greatly inspired the thought of philosophers, alchemists, artists, poets, and even theologians. Offering new translations of seven essential Hermetic texts from their earliest source languages, Charles Stein presents them alongside introductions and interpretive commentary, revealing their hidden gems of insight, suggesting directions for practice, and progressively weaving the texts together historically, poetically, hermeneutically, and magically. The book includes translations of Hesiod's Theogony, the Homeric Hymn to Hermes, the “Poem of Parmenides,” the Poimandres from the Corpus Hermeticum, the Chaldean Oracles, “The Vision of Isis” from Apuleius's Metamorphoses, and “On Divine Virtue” by Zosimos of Panopolis. Through his introductions and commentaries, Stein explains how the many traditions that use Hermes's name harbor a coherent spirit whose relevance and efficacy promise to carry Hermes forward into the future. Revealing Hermes as the very principle of Mind in all its possibilities, from intellectual brilliance to the workings of the cognitive life of everyone, the author shows how these seven texts are central to a still-evolving Western tradition in which the principle of spiritual awakening is allied with the creative. Never before published together, these texts present a new vehicle for transmission of the Hermetic Genius in modern times.

Following on from last episode's deep dive into the themes of Capricorn, this episode tracks the elusive 11th sign of the Zodiac, Aquarius, and the mythic themes that flow through it. We watch as the beautiful youth, Ganymede, is abducted by Zeus and taken to Heaven to pour wine for the Gods while his father is left behind bereft. This story was taken from the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite and is followed by the tragedy of Eos and Tithonus; Eos is the Goddess of the Dawn who falls in love with the mortal Tithonus. She asks that he might live forever, not thinking to add the critical piece that he would remain eternally youthful.How can these stories of the tension between the reality of ageing and the ideal of eternal youthfulness help us to see Aquarius more clearly?We then follow Aphrodite (Venus) and her two births: one as the daughter of Uranus and the other as the offspring of Zeus & Dione (the feminine form of Zeus) before settling in to the original creative tension: Uranus the mind of god Vs Saturn of the earthly wisdom.The New Moon is in Aquarius on January 21st, 8:53pm, GMT.Jason Holley's Constellation Deep DivesGorillaz: Don't Get Lost in HeavenImage: Johann Frank Kirchbach; The Rape of Ganymede (1892)Music by Marlia Coeur on Spotify.Please consider becoming a Patron to support the show!Go to OnTheSoulsTerms.com for more.

Brian Clark joins the podcast again, this time to talk all things Hermes/Mercury. In the sky at the moment Mercury is in its home of Gemini whilst the Sun has made its way into the early degrees of Cancer.As such, Hermes leads us into a discussion of  his links to the sign of Cancer and his connection to Hestia - the first born of Chronus and the Goddess of the Hearth. We ponder what the wheel of the Zodiac would look like if, like in ancient times, Cancer was in fact the first sign. We also dive into the image of the Bee Oracle, Mercury as the god of the crossroads, Hermes the 'hypnagogue' who takes us in and out of sleep, the importance of dreams and sleep in a healthy Pscyhe, Mercury's position as the hinge in between worlds, and so much more.It truly was a delight to reconnect with Brian - a mentor in the deepest sense of the word.Brian's Website: astrosynthesis.comJung Society of Melbourne: Rewilding PsycheTo hear the Homeric Hymn to Hermes as told on the podcast go to Episode 25.-------------------------------------------------Click to become a PatronWhat's that mesmerising soundtrack?  That's Marlia Coeur: Spotify | YouTube

"I shall sing of Zeus, the best and greatest of the Gods; far-seeing, mighty, fulfiller of designs..." Homeric Hymn to ZeusReal change begins with a change in perspective. The old myths offer a valuable lens and means to make such a shift. They reveal the shared webs of meaning and images that are the source of ideologies, theologies, and other constructs.Greek mythology continues to be a particularly strong influence in the world today, given the colonizing history of Western culture. I think it can help us understand the deeper themes in this time of social unrest and transformation.In this episode, we examine the Greek myths surrounding Zeus, the ruler of gods and men. What do these stories suggest about power, legitimate authority, and justice?This episode builds on ideas in the last one, "Meaning is magic: the trickster Hermes and radical change."

Yes, you saw that right. Having been resurrected from the dead (no thanks to Boris Johnson), we are back with another episode at long last. This time, we broadened our focus from a mythological woman to an entire goddess: Persephone! We turned to the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, evaluated just how 'bad' of a person Hades is in comparison to other male gods (*cough* Zeus), Farabee had a tirade in defence of Demeter being wrongly cast as the archetypal 'over-bearing' mother, and we even talked about the doomed romance of Orpheus and Eurydice. Ranging from the musical 'Hadestown' to discussing the lens which Christianity lends to a modern audience's perception of Hades (is he the devil incarnate?), this is a chaotic and much-anticipated episode. We hope you enjoy! TW: kidnapping; mass murder. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/keepingupwiththeclassics/message

Hey you magical beings - welcome back to The Witch Podcast. Next month, I turn 29 years old. I am healthy and grateful and um WHY AM I PARALYZED BY FEAR OF AGING?!?!?! Today, I'm joined by the brilliant Anne-Marie Pearce to tackle the history behind, drivers of, and lingering pain caused by ageism in Western society. We're mad (per usual) and starting early on the path towards aging disgracefully and letting go of empty, culturally-enforced aging stereotypes (which, no surprise, predominately impact women).

“Tell me Muse, about the dear son of Hermes, the goat-footed, the two-horned, the lover of the din of revel, who haunts the wooded dells with dancing Nymphs who tread the crests of the steep cliffs, calling upon Pan the pastoral god of the long, wild hair…” Homeric Hymn to PanMany, if not all of the old gods, are embedded in what we now call the “natural world” in one way or another, so what makes Pan the Greek god of “nature?” How has he been treated by Western culture over the centuries, and what does this tell us about Western fears and prejudices?In this podcast, we look at 4 of his defining characteristics: the significance of his trickster father Hermes, that he’s half man and half billygoat; his reed pipe; and his home in Arcadia—to find answers to these questions.

“I sing of the great god Poseidon, mover of the earth and fruitless sea […] god of the deep, shaker of the earth […] tamer of horses and savior of ships […]” Homeric Hymn to PoseidonAfter the Olympians defeated the old gods, Zeus and his brothers, Hades and Poseidon, divided the world into three realms. They drew lots to establish which of them would rule over each.Poseidon was awarded the ocean.In this podcast I talk about Poseidon and share some his myths, including his role in Homer’s Odyssey and the contemporary significance of his longstanding competition with the goddess Athena.A transcript of this episode is available at www.mythicmojo.com.

In this podcast, I return to the Greek myth of Demeter and Persephone to reflect on the soul’s longing for depth, meaning, and experience, and the violence that may perpetrate on the sunny side ego and the innocent personality. These reflections lead me to the telling of an Inuit tale called “Skeleton Woman,” and a few wise words from Jungian Anne Ulanov as well.If you missed the last podcast with the telling the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, you can find it in the archives on bandcamp or at the Myth in the Mojave website.“If you will contemplate your lack of… inner aliveness… and impregnate it with the interest born of alarm at your inner death, then something can take shape in you, for your inner emptiness conceals just as great a fullness if only you will allow it to penetrate into you.” C.G.

How can one summarize a myth as profound as the one I offer you this week? The Homeric Hymn to Demeter gave rise to the Eleusinian mysteries, a potent, secret ritual that was performed for millennia, to liberate men and women from their fear of death. This story of mother and daughter continues to speak to us today about love, grief, and perpetual renewal. Blessed be the great mother Demeter, giver of all good gifts, and Persephone, the Great Destroyer. May we all move deeper into the sustaining mystery with each turn of the seasons.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mythmatterspodcast)

Today’s show we will be talking about the Empress and Demeter. The Lost Episode Blog Post: https://bittydiana.wordpress.com/2017/05/12/myth-tarot-love/ Tarot card positions. When you are reading tarot you often use a spread, i.e. Celtic Cross. Basically a spread means that you put the card in a certain position and that place will also help to define its meaning. The Empress: - She is surrounded by nature and feminine symbols. - She appears large in the image, and seated/relaxed but also attentive. - she represents creativity, intuition, love (unconditional love), and motherhood. - Ultimate mother figure in the tarot, with the Queen of pentacles as a close second - phase of life where things are being created around you. Possibly even that you are pregnant. - Locus Amenos Symbol of fertility, and there are many fertility goddesses, such as: Gaia, Inanna, Astarte, Cybele, Isis, and of course Demeter. Demeter (Roman Ceres): - goddess of grain, fertility and motherhood. Patroness of farming. - daughter of Kronos and Rhea, elder sister and the fourth wife of Zeus represented as a mature and dignified woman, holding a cornucopia. - Homeric Hymn to Demeter (the earliest myth of Demeter and Persephone).

Today’s episode we focus on the High Priestess and Hekate. The High Priestess is the second card in the Major Arcana, and it is the first highly gendered card. We also discuss gender fluidity in tarot, life, and history. Akhenaten is one Egyptian Pharaoh who was represented as having both female and male characteristics. Spiritual Energy vs. Kinetic Energy. All people have male and female energy. High Priestess: - symbolically feminine, the power of yin energy light and dark on both sides of the card, and the high priestess is in the middle of the card balancing the two - means different things for different people, because of the mystery surrounding her. - Things are happening but its not the time to act; action has already taken place and now she is patient and letting things play out Hekate (Hecate): - goddess of magic, patroness of witches, crossroad and the underworld, the dark side of the moon, and poisoners - she is in a lot of myths, such as the Homeric Hymn to Demeter - in art she is shown with three heads or bodies, holding one or two torches This episode is also a little quiet (growing pains!) but that will be fixed for the next one.

We celebrate the new year with the story of a new arrival: Dionysus. The newest god of the Greek pantheon, Dionysus was imported into early Greek culture, probably from the east. The Hymn describes a young, strong and beautiful god who is abducted by pirates for ransom. Long story short, it doesn't quite work out for the pirates and yet again we see the after effects of a divine encounter.   Passages: Homeric Hymn to Dionysus (Hymn 7).    For sources, credits and passage, visit http://mythtake.blog   Hang out with us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/mythtake/    Join us on Twitter @InnesAlison and @darrinsunstrum #MythTake #HumanitiesPodcasts   Subscribe on iTunes or Google Play so you don’t miss an episode!   Find our RSS on Podbean http://alisoninnes.podbean.com   This week’s theme music: “Super Hero” by King Louie’s Missing Monuments from the album “Live at WFMU” (2011).

True spiritual defense does not depend on practices, mantras, solar bodies, schools, masters, or anything else outside of us. Learn about Ares (Mars), the seven planets, alchemy, transmutation, and the essential foundation for genuine spiritual development. "Ares, exceeding in strength, chariot-rider, golden-helmed, doughty in heart, shield-bearer, Saviour of cities, harnessed in bronze, strong of arm, unwearying, mighty with the spear, O defender of Olympos, father of warlike Nike (Victory), ally of Themis, stern governor of the rebellious, leader of the righteous men, sceptred King of manliness, who whirl your fiery sphere [the star Mars] among the planets in their sevenfold courses through the aither wherein your blazing steeds ever bear you above the third firmament of heaven; hear me, helper of men, giver of dauntless youth! Shed down a kindly ray from above upon my life, and strength of war, that I may be able to drive away bitter cowardice from my head and crush down the deceitful impulses of my soul. Restrain also the keen fury of my heart which provokes me to tread the ways of blood-curdling strife. Rather, O blessed one, give you me boldness to abide within the harmless laws of peace, avoiding strife and hatred and the violent fiends of death. - Homeric Hymn 8 to Ares; C7th to 4th B.C. This is a lecture from the free online course Defense for Spiritual Warfare: Prayers and Methods for Protection Course Description: Every religion provides methods of spiritual defense for protection against harmful entities and forces. Among all the prayers, there are several that have particular power. These lectures explain them in detail so that you will know very well what you are saying when you use them.
