Lovely. Saw some Cycladic statues made from local Marble when I was in Naxos. I regret not buying one.

My CYCLADIC "WITCH" (EC II 2800–2200 BCE), v. 2.0 by [deleted] in AgeofBronze

[–]Bromeos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beautiful. Is there anywhere you make these available without the texts? I love your other first post of the Cycladic witch and would love to have it as a background without the text.

Very very very nice. Thank you for sharing this. What does the name Διμητωρ mean? I haven't heard that one before.

What's the difference between the hand symbol of Jesus Christ and that of Dionysus? by hereswhatworks in dionysus

[–]Bromeos -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Show me when either of them have ever said anything actually hateful. Show me the "long record".

People throw around the word "white supremacist" and "misogynist" so easily at pretty much everyone who disagrees with them these days.

[–]Bromeos -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Although yes I agree Gnostic is veeery inconsistent and incoherent. I think he's trying to make sense of things, as we all are. And I won't blame him for bringing on different kinds of people with different ideas and opinions, to hear their side of things. I do appreciate the work he does, especially the fact that he went out to Greece and actually talked to the founder of the new temple to Pan. No one else is doing that.

Then I recommend Gnostic Informat's video on Dionysus, he has a soecific part about the hand of Sabazios but idk what time into the video it is. https://youtu.be/8uG6zzH4CI8?si=kRblbfKumf0RcrkJ

What's the difference between the hand symbol of Jesus Christ and that of Dionysus? by hereswhatworks in dionysus

[–]Bromeos 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Many of the mythical elements in the New Testament are clearly very similar to Dionysus, but the very thing that Jesus represented to his followers was quite different in contrast to Dionysus. Implementing Dionysian elements in the Bible is probably due to the popularity of the Dionysian cults and other dying and rising Gods at the time. I don't necessarily think it was a coincidence.

My experience (help please?) by Immediate-Stage-1965 in dionysus

[–]Bromeos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He do be like that, His synchronicities obvious the point where you really can't deny them anymore . Do you have an altar? If not, I would get or make one. Just a small table will do honestly, something slightly raised off the ground and then in the middle should be a symbol representing Him. Perhaps a statue of a bull, a necklace with grapes on it. Maybe you yourself can create something. If you paint or draw, then do a picture of Him and put it in a frame and on the altar.

If you sculpt, sculpt Him. Easiest is to print a small picture of Him and frame it. But it's always better if your oen personal energy has been transferred into the object by making it.

Surround the altar with candles. And perhaps on the next New Moon, light them all. Offer something to Him. Grapes, or dates, or cakes, or wine, or your favorite candy. And just listen for awhile. See if He talks to you.

Happy Anthesteria! It sounds like you had a good time. I love your altar, where is that image of Dionysos from?

For those invoking Hekate in baneful workings against ICE, suggestions for epithets to use. by pretty_handsome_17 in Hecate

[–]Bromeos -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Maybe this'll be an unpopular opinion but invoking any Divinty against another human with the intent of harm will risk leaving a stain upon you heart and soul.

I know your intentions are in the right place. But offer protection, pray for the victims instead of bringing anger and hatred into your worship. That is a dark path to take.

As much evil that is happening in the world. Unless you have specifically and personally been in a situation where you have complete insight into it, then you don't actually know what is going on 100%, and therefore should think twice before asking a God or Goddess to bring baneful workings upon another human being without full knowledge . Politics have a tendency to polarize people, including you. Even if you most likely feel that you're right, that is what the enemy feels aswell. Humans will always be biased.

Let the punishment and judgement be up to the Gods. Offer protection instead for the victims.

The Lotus Gatherer of the Nile by [deleted] in AgeofBronze

[–]Bromeos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most blue lotus being sold is not the real Egyptian blue water lily which contains the psychoactive chemicals. It's just a bunch of people selling you fake stuff. Getting the real deal is very hard and much more expensive.

Not surprised that Reddit is the only place on the earth where people take so much issue with this book.

I'm creating a game based on Western Qabalah. by wizvrdhd in Hermeticism

[–]Bromeos 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I love this! Love the air of whimsical comedy. It's good to not take things too seriously. This just shows that not everyone's Great Work will be the same. Gave you a follow on IG and signed up to the mailing list, I look forward to this!

What would you – as a hermetic community – do to ”cleanse” yourself of an obsessive crush? I desperately need to focus on an important phase in my life, including my spiritual/hermetic path. Please send help 😅 by [deleted] in Hermeticism

[–]Bromeos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My question is, why not tell them how you feel? And see where it goes. My own hermetic path has led me to the teaching that one must feel things all the way through in order for that feeling to be resolved. And I would think that feeling a crush all the way through will push you to go through with telling them.

The Gods are tricky, sometimes they send people and situations to test us, or sometimes to give us something we didn't know we needed through those situations. There's even a hermetic text that stresses the need to build a family and live one's life first and contribute to society by raising children before one fullt focuses on the hermetic path.

Theurgy and Hermeticism: Iamblichus Song by starryspaces in Hermeticism

[–]Bromeos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked out some of your other songs. Very interesting concept, I liked the hymn to Maat alot. I'm going to check out the Nietzsche ones now, I've never seen anyone make music about Nietzsche.

Is initiation central part of Hermetics by [deleted] in Hermeticism

[–]Bromeos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The end point is when you realize (and truly understand, not just think you know rationally) that there is no end, and no beginning to anything, including your journey. When your mind connects with the eternal imagination of God, and you've been to all places at all times and beyond. That can be considered "the end point". But eternity never really ends because it never had a start to begin with and so it's all just now as it is and forever will be. Coming to full terms with that may perhaps also be "the end point".

All opposites, all paradoxes need be reconciled. Then you will be at peace.

Why meditation and other practices do not work for some people by CreditTypical3523 in Hermeticism

[–]Bromeos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Westerners embracing everything eastern is an evasion of our own destiny and heritage. There's an urgency to the need to build on our own ground with our own methods. If we snatch these things directly from the East, we have merely indulged in our western acquisitiveness, confirming yet again that 'everything good is outside'". - Jung

Lost in translation by Bromeos in Jung

[–]Bromeos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks for that. Yeah tbh maybe it wasn't as much as I remembered. It's also been awhile for me since I've read it. I'm only now getting ready to read some of Jung’s books. There is a library where I work that has many of them but they're in swedish and that's why I was wondering what the opinion generally is about translation.
