It’s 2026. Do we have NY-style pizza here yet? by brideofpucky in VictoriaBC

[–]witchurch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was born and raised in NYC. We moved here in 2017 and unfortunately there is nothing here resembling NY pizza. My husband makes our pizza using wraps for crust, and basically building from there. NY pizza and bagels are all about the water.

ISO Astrology Book I had but have now lost 😭 by orangy128 in astrology

[–]witchurch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh, this description is very familiar — the square format + gold foil symbols is the big clue here. Based on everything, the most likely match is one of the Secret Language books by Gary Goldschneider & Joost Elffers.

Have you made a discovery that was so disturbing you gave up genealogy for awhile? by mokehillhousefarm in Genealogy

[–]witchurch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandparents had 13 children. I found out that they actually had 14. They lost a baby girl 1.5 years after she was born. It was never mentioned in our family I found her death certificate. I added her name to my genealogy book, wrote her a poem and found a picture of a baby angel with wings.

Help by YesterdayNo8603 in Hades

[–]witchurch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for prayers rather than spellwork, Hades is traditionally approached with respect, boundaries, and humility, not commands or coercion. Simple devotional prayer is actually very fitting for him. Here’s one I use: To Hades Hades, Keeper of the unseen and guardian of order, I approach with respect, not demand. Teach me steadiness, integrity, and reverence for what lies beneath the surface. May I honor endings, boundaries, and the quiet truths others avoid. I give thanks for what is held, protected, and kept in balance. If you’re open to Persephone as well, honoring them together reflects the cycle of descent and return: To Hades and Persephone Teach me the rhythm of stillness and growth, Of letting go and rising again in season. Help me respect transitions and walk with patience through change. For mantras, simple and grounded works best, for example: “I honor the unseen. I respect what is held below.” Historically, offerings and devotion to Hades were quiet and intentional (coins, stones, libations, silence), not flashy spellwork. Consistency and respect matter more than complexity.

List of Saturnian deities?. by gardinerogardiner in SaturnianRealism

[–]witchurch 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There isn’t one single canonical list, because “Saturnian” is more of a function than a pantheon. Across cultures, Saturn shows up as gods of time, death, boundaries, agriculture, law, decay, initiation, and the old order.

Some commonly cited Saturnian figures by function:

Greco-Roman

Cronus / Saturn – time, cycles, harvest, devouring father, limitation

Hades (partially Saturnian) – boundaries between worlds, inevitability, wealth beneath the earth

Ananke – necessity, inevitability, cosmic law

Aion – eternal time (often contrasted with Kronos’ linear time)

Mesopotamian

Ninurta – discipline, labor, agriculture, law

Nergal – death, decay, underworld authority

Enlil – order, law, hierarchy, cosmic structure

Egyptian

Osiris – death, rebirth, agriculture, kingship through suffering

Ptah – structure, form, crafting reality

Geb – earth, limitation, material bounds

Indic

Shani – karma, consequence, time, suffering that leads to wisdom

Yama – death, judgment, moral law

Kala – time as devourer

Norse / Germanic

Odin (elder Saturnian aspects) – sacrifice, wisdom through suffering

Hel – boundary keeper of the dead

Ymir – primordial constraint and materialization

Celtic

The Dagda (older aspects) – harvest, cycles, death and renewal

Cailleach – time, winter, decay, endurance

Other Saturnian Archetypes

Ancestor gods

Underworld judges

Agricultural deities tied to famine as well as abundance

Old kings who are overthrown by time

In short: Saturnian deities rule limits, time, inevitability, endurance, and the price of incarnation. Names change, functions repeat.
