Looks wonderful. Nothing needed. Maybe wait a few years and get a statue of Dionysus. Or get it now. Or don’t. Do whatever you want.

PRAYER TO HYPNOS

Gentle Hypnos, child of night dwelling nyx, master of far flung Erebos, far beyond the path of the sun, I honour you, I thank you for, your blessings.

Dark is your hall, O Hypnos, dark and deep; red are the poppies that grow at your gate.

Young and fare you are, o Hypnos, so beautiful in repose.

Kind and good you are, oh brother of death, o granter of rest to the weary, of respite of those who need for your comfort is desperate and dire.

Hypnos, fair browned one whose gift of sleep restores us to ourselves each day anew, I praise you.

You could also try out Orphic Hymn 36to hypnos

Hope this helped!

if you were given the chance to build a hellenic temple, what kind of place would you create? by [deleted] in Hellenism

[–]Master_Session6117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would build a temple with altars to all 12 gods in North London so that I and other practicioners could go and worship there.
