"To Asklepios (Asclepius), Fumigation From Manna.
"To Asklepios (Asclepius), Fumigation from Manna.
Great Asklepios, skilled to heal mankind, all-ruling Paian (Paean), and physician kind; whose arts medicinal can alone assuage diseases dire, and stop their dreadful rage. Strong, lenient God, regard my suppliant prayer, bring gentle health, adorned with lovely hair; convey the means of mitigating pain, and raging deadly pestilence restrain. O power all-flourishing, abundant, bright, Apollon's honoured offspring, God of light; husband of blameless Hygeia (Health), the constant foe of dread disease, the minister of woe: come, blessed saviour, human health defend, and to the mortal life afford a prosperous end."
Orphic Hymn 67 to Asclepius (trans. Taylor)

my first experiences with witchcraft and occultism were with roman augury and bird flight reading and it will be always a part of me and my identity, even beside witchcraft.

lord Hypnos and lord Morpheus are the first two i call in my prayers
Quick odypen painting because I’m missing them this Christmas Day
Before praying I like to rinse my arms, hands and head with moon water. Then I scent around with lavender oil. Every single thing that brings sleep is good for the god of dreams.
I've decided to start wearing amethyst and moonstone before praying and so, gifting my sleep to the gods of the night. I intend to learn soon the prayers to Hypnos from the Orphic Hymns, too.

For Lord Hypnos
I sing now of gentle sleep brother of the merciless He who is kind to mortals He who is the gentlest of gods I come to you as a humble worshipper Head bowed, and words whispered Hear me, O Son of immortal Nyx Come to me under the covers of Nyx, Let your wings lull me into rest In your wake, bring the flowers of sleep Let the waters of Lethe wash away the suffering of today O gentle god, He who wanders the Earth at night Begotten to Nyx, He who dwells in the darkness of the Underworld Khaire blessed sleep, may we rest with ease under your gentle care
