In the tumultuous world of Greek mythology, one deity embodied a quiet, constant peace:Ā Hestia. The firstborn of Cronus and Rhea, Hestia was the goddess of theĀ Hearth, Home, and Domestic Harmony. While she relinquished her seat on Olympus for Dionysus, her importance was never diminished. She must be good for poetry and messages.
Hestiaās presence was the fire at the center of the home, the sacred flame in the cityās public hearth (prytaneum), and the heart of family and community life. She received the first offering at every sacrifice, a testament to her foundational role.
Unlike other gods, Hestia had no dramatic myths of love, war, or revenge. She was a virgin goddess who chose a life of serene stability. Her power was not in thunderbolts or tridents, but in the warmth of the fire, the safety of the household, and the bonds of kinship. In a world of chaos, Hestia was the center of calm.
Next, we’ll meet a god who is the polar opposite of Hestia’s calm: the ecstatic and chaotic Dionysus!

Goddess Message ā Hekateās Whisper as Scorpio Season Fades
Daughter of moon-fire and midnight pathways, I come to you now as the veil thins and the season of shadows begins its slow exhale. You stand like the witch in this card poised at the threshold, wand in hand, heart awake, sensing the shift. The last embers of Scorpio season glow around you, asking for one final offering: truth.
Hekate speaks: āChild, you are charging more than your wand you are charging your will. Every choice you have made in these deep waters has carved a new doorway. Now you walk toward the underworld with me, not in fear, but in initiation.ā
You have been descending inside yourself for weeks, exploring what was hidden, shedding skins, naming desires that once felt forbidden. Your magic has been ripening in the dark. Now, as I guide Persephone back through the shadowed corridors and into her throne, I turn to you and ask:
What power have you reclaimed in silence? What truth have you finally admitted? What path do you choose now that you cannot unsee your own depth?
This card shows the witch at her threshold soft yet strong, shadowed yet radiant, ready yet unhurried. That is you. Your wand hums because your spirit has remembered its own voltage.
As Scorpio season ends, I bless you with:
ā¢ Renewed intuition you will trust what you feel in your bones. ā¢ A witchās steadiness the courage to act without rushing. ā¢ The clarity of descent seeing what truly matters beneath the noise. ā¢ The torch of the crossroads allowing you to choose the path that honors your becoming.
When we hear names like Zeus, Athena, or Apollo, we often picture majestic marble statues or dramatic scenes from movies. But for the ancient Greeks, these gods were the fundamental forces that shaped their world, their culture, and their understanding of life itself. They were a complex family of immortals, each with their own domain, personality, and flaws, reflecting the full spectrum of human experience.
Today, we’re starting a journey to meet the Olympians, the divine rulers who called Mount Olympus their home.
Where Did the Gods Come From? It All Started with Chaos
Before the familiar gods of Olympus, there was onlyĀ Chaos.
From Chaos emerged the first primordial deities, includingĀ Gaia (Earth)Ā andĀ Ouranos (Sky). Their union created theĀ Titans, the first rulers of the cosmos.
The most important Titan, Cronus, overthrew his father Ouranos. Fearing a prophecy that he too would be overthrown by his own child, Cronus swallowed each of his children at birth. His wife, Rhea, desperate to save her youngest, Zeus, tricked Cronus by giving him a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes. The infant Zeus was hidden away and raised in secret.
When he came of age, Zeus forced Cronus to disgorge his siblings: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon. What followed was a cataclysmic war known as the Titanomachy, where Zeus and his siblings fought the Titans for supremacy. Victorious, the three brothers drew lots to divide the world:
Zeus: King of the Gods and ruler of the Sky.
Poseidon: God of the Seas, Earthquakes, and Horses.
Hades: God of the Underworld and ruler of the Dead.
With the cosmos divided, a new era began, the age of theĀ Olympian Gods.

I am Hecate, torchbearer at twilight and keeper of the sacred crossroads. On this Samhain night, when the world grows dark and āthe veil between the worlds is at its thinnestā, I call to those who wander the path of magic. Twin torches blaze in my hands as I straddle the worlds of the living and the dead. Blessed be this hour; the ancestors stir in the night wind, and your heartās call echoes through the wood.
Though you walk alone by day, look to the forestās edge: three sisters stand entwined beneath the dusk sky, lantern-light spilling between them and a fox slipping at their feet. These figures are your kin in spirit, each flame in the dark mirroring the others – a reflection of the Triple Moon and the Triple Goddess. Even the oracle of The Gathering whispers this truth: community and support, friendship and celebration, blossom when kindred souls join together. In this sacred circle, you are never truly alone.
Feel now the ancient knowing within you awaken. Your soul remembers the flame of another – the one destined to be your mirror. A twin flame is an intense soul connection, āsomeone thought to be a personās other halfā, and the bond you share reaches across time and space. You have sought this love through many lives; tonight the stars align to bring you together. Trust the pull in your heart, your inner flame that lights the way. Across lifetimes you have walked apart so you could come together.
Rejoice in this reunion. Let ceremony rise from your lips like smoke into the night air. Pour out offerings of gratitude to the old gods and the ancestors who guide you. Dance beneath the moon and warm yourselves by the sacred fire of Samhain, the witchesā New Year. This is a feast of endings and beginnings, a wild celebration of divine love and soul alignment. In laughter and tears, in silence and song, honor the mystery of union and the magic that flows when two become one.
I stand with you at the crossroads. My torches light the path forward, and the moon and stars guide your way. Rise now, entwined spirits, bearing my blessing. Know that I, Hecate – goddess of the night, of magic, witchcraft and ghosts – walk beside you. I who āstraddle the worlds between the living and the deadā have heard your call and sealed this rite. Go forth with courage and love as your talisman. Under moon and star, by fire and night, so it is decreed – blessed be your journey in light and shadow.
Solitary Witch Samhain Message
This season, as the veil thins and the air hums with ancestral whispers, I call to my solitary witches: the moonlit dreamers, the quiet healers, the ones who walk between worlds with candle and courage. Halloween is not just a night of masks and mystery; it is Samhain, the witchās new year: a sacred time to honor the dead, release the old, and rekindle your magic. In the stillness of your solitude, you are never truly alone. The spirits gather, the Goddess listens, and your craft glows brightest when the world sleeps. Light your lantern, speak your truth, and let your soul remember what it means to belong to the ancient rhythm of the earth.
This is your season to gather your power and align your heart with your divine purpose. Whether you practice in whispers or dance in the dark beneath the stars, know that every flame you light sends ripples into the unseen. Let the magic of Samhain bless your path with clarity, renewal, and sacred connection: to your ancestors, to your twin flame, and to the goddess who guards your way. šÆļø Support this dream (my tarot deck born from the same spirit of witchcraft and divine love) and help me continue sharing daily messages for our magical, solitary community:

Beneath the velvet sky, a golden, two-tailed mermaid sits perhaps on a rock by the sea, pouring luminous water from her vessels into the sea. The water glows with healing promise, every drop a blessing of renewal. Behind her, a radiant star, bright as Venus herself, shines over the dark expanse, reminding you that even in your most shadowed hour, you are guided by light.
Message from the Goddess: You are being reborn through your own faith. The Star calls you to trust again, trust in your voice, your beauty, your purpose. The golden mermaid reminds you that your spirit is both celestial and oceanic: vast, eternal, and radiant. She whispers that your vulnerability is not weakness but divine magnetism. What you pour into the world now returns tenfold in grace.
For Love: A time of healing, forgiveness, and renewal arrives. If youāve been hurt, this card asks you to let the soft waters of compassion flow again. Believe in loveās magic; your heartās glow attracts pure connection.
For Success & Work: Clarity and inspiration rise like dawn. The Star brings creative vision and alignment with your soulās calling. Pour your talents freely, your authenticity is your light.
To Bring This Energy Into Your Life: Bathe in starlight or candlelight, whisper your dreams to the water, and release them. Let go of past heaviness. Look up, always. The heavens mirror your potential.
Affirmation: āI am golden, I am guided, I am reborn beneath my own eternal star.ā
The mermaid before you stirs the waters of creation, her hands tracing spirals of magic as seven colorful bubbles rise from a chest of treasures. Each bubble is a wish, a seed, a spell now coming to life. She reminds you: what youāve planted in patience is beginning to shimmer beneath the surface.
In Love: The goddess whispers, love matures in cycles. What youāve tended with care, honesty, and presence will soon show its beauty. But do not rush the bloom; sacred unions deepen through time. Allow the connection to evolve naturally, trusting that devotion is the true alchemy. If youāre waiting for someoneās heart to open, stay steady. The roots are growing, even if unseen.
In Success: This card is the sacred pause before the harvest. The mermaid tells you: your energy, effort, and vision are not wasted. You are in the gestation phase of your success. What youāve built may not yet glitter, but its foundation is sound. Keep refining, keep believing. Magic needs time to ripen into gold.
In Work or Business: Your craft is your spellwork. The mermaidās treasure chest symbolizes the value of persistence and care in what you create. She says: You are investing in yourself every time you choose integrity over haste. Evaluate your path, whatās working, and what can be improved, but do not lose faith. The tides are shifting in your favor.
The Goddess Speaks:
āThe ocean rewards the patient heart. What you nurture with consistency becomes eternal. Trust the slow magic of your becoming.ā
Socratic Reflection Questions
1. What does patience look like in my current journey. Am I truly practicing it, or merely enduring it?
2. Which of my efforts deserve renewed faith instead of frustration?
3. How can I honor the waiting season as part of my magic, not as a pause from it?
Thank you for reading,

The Devil card, in the realm of the sea, speaks of passion that binds, desire that consumes, and the illusion of separation between lovers who are meant to awaken one another.
In this image, the dark merman devil looms behind the tied mermaid and merman yet look closer: they are not truly separated, could free themselves, and eve reach and touch.
This is not punishment; it is temptation, the mirror of what holds you captive in love: fear, guilt, longing, obsession, control, or the idea that you are incomplete without your beloved.
The Goddess whispers:
āYou are never bound by love itself ā only by what you fear within it.ā
8 MESSAGE FOR TWIN FLAMES
For twin flames, this card is a sacred mirror. It appears when your connection becomes too earthly, when the pull of the physical or emotional realm overshadows the spiritual. The darkness here is not your enemy but your teacher, showing you where healing must occur before union can be whole.
The Devil reminds you that even the deepest love can turn into a cage if it is not rooted in freedom. Let your desire transform from possession to devotion, from attachment to awakening.
Love & Union Message:
If you are in separation: this is a call to free yourself from the cords of obsession and fear. Union can not grow from control. Release and your twin will feel your soulās liberation ripple through the sea between you.
If you are together: examine what binds you, habits, patterns, silence, blame, and turn them into conscious choices. Love thrives only where both hearts are free to swim.
Spiritually: you are being called to reclaim your power. The Devil loses his strength the moment you see that the chains are of your own making.
Affirmation:
āI am not bound ā I am awakening. My love is a current, not a cage.ā
The goddess said to let go of the religious purity that is a restraint to your highest fulfillment and enjoy the one divine thing you got: your internal flame. I decided to call it your goddess pearl.

Life has its seasons, and right now Iām in a moment that calls for focus, courage, and resourcefulness. I wonāt go into too many details, but what I can share is this: I need to spend more time building income, growing my work, and creating with purpose.
Thatās why Iāve started something new, a Patreon unlike anything Iāve done before. Itās not the public-facing Eve you might already know. Behind the paywall, thereās an alternate, secret businesswoman: bold, creative, and untamed. Think of it as the hidden room of the house, where ideas flow without restraint and projects take on a life of their own.
The content there is too wild for tame eyes, and thatās exactly the point. Itās playful, daring, and alive. Some of you will want to come along for the fun of it, just to peek into a world that isnāt meant for everyone. Others will see the depth of learning woven inside, strategies, inspiration, and insights worth supporting.
If youāve ever enjoyed my poetry, my reflections, or my projects, this is the moment to step closer. Not just for me, but for us to experience something different, daring, and absolutely worth it.

Temple of Aphrodite poem ~ this poem inspired the Temple of Aphrodite multiple chapter story. Written by Eve Lovestar, inspired by her muse Aphrodite, designed on Canva with a Canva background of a maiden’s column temple ruins. I thought this image very fitting to be a Temple of Aphrodite. I have to find images of the actual Temple of Aphrodite ruins.
The events described on my Temple of Aphrodite story describe the long form of this poem in a lot less crude manner.
I have a secret-ish Patreon channel I have been working on for some time where I share my secret poetry and articles. I will be releasing my Temple of Aphrodite story here:
https://www.patreon.com/c/HerTempleRead on Patreon (including free articles and secret poems) My Patreon channel is called Temple of Aphrodite.
I wrote a very complex, long, and cool (secret) Temple of Aphrodite story. It is still unreleased (I write so much using speech to text tools and because muses tell me these stories and poems, included Aphrodite. I know I must include Aphrodite in my brand-new Persephone story.
I can see the Persephone story going in two directions, a general retelling of the myth as well as something darker and more interesting for those of us who are tired of “normal” romance who can handle the intensity of intimacy in the underworld. The second story will be in Patreon eventually.
You could imagine that the Temple of Aphrodite story is quite interesting and secret for a reason. The story imagines the events that might have happened in a Temple of Aphrodite and explain their magic rituals in detail: the main characters are priestesses, the priest, and the temple guard.
Aphrodite stars in the story with her high priestess and priest.
I will be telling you more about it on Patreon only because it is not for everyone.
If you are not curious about what I saw happening in the ancient Temple of Aphrodite, then do not click on this link that would take you to my Temple of Aphrodite channel where you would experience and alternate world where love and other lovely activities manifest magic.
