Hades and creation of the earth
In the early days of the planet, everything seemed like a vast sea of glowing lava, with the constant "destruction" of the rocks that were formed. This true inferno that reigned was given the name Hadean Era. Eons are the largest divisions of geological time, in which eras are allocated.
It was during the Hadean that the planet's atmosphere was formed (with a different composition, rich in gases such as sulfur, ammonia, and methane, and an absence of oxygen), and the first seas were created by volcanic activity after the frequency of meteorite and asteroid impacts decreased.
Lake Avernus, or Lago d'Averno, is a volcanic crater located in the Campania region of Italy, near the city of Pozzuoli. Its formation is linked to the intense volcanic activity of the area, which is part of the Phlegraean Fields volcanic complex.
The lake was formed approximately 4,000 years ago after a volcanic eruption created a deep caldera. Over time, the crater filled with water, forming the lake that exists today. The region remains geologically active, with fumaroles and other volcanic manifestations nearby.
In antiquity, the lake was associated with a gateway to Hades, described by Virgil as the door to the underworld in The Aeneid. It was believed that the waters of the lake were toxic and that birds could not fly over it.
Volcanoes are the children of the lord of the underworld. Hades is the transformer of matter beneath the earth, providing the foundation for all living beings. The lord of Tartarus is much more than the god of souls; he is the magnetism beneath the earth.

Sources to learn about Hades
Iβve meaning to make this post for a while- the truth is that there arenβt a lot of books written exclusively about Hades so you either have you search for articles or read a book about all the chthonic gods to find information about Him. Iβve compiled all of the sources that Iβve found useful and Iβll keep adding more
βHades: Cornucopia, fertility and deathβ by Diana Burton (Victoria University of Wellington)
βWorshipping Hades: Myth and Cult in Elis and Triphyllaβ by Diana Burton (Victoria University of Wellington)
βThe Bride of Hadesβ by H. J. Rose (The University of Chicago Press)
please reply if you have a favorite book/article/documentary about Hades and Iβll keep updating this π

Relevance - July 15, 2024
Thanatos paid a visit and asked me... What is your relevance?
I think it's a bit egocentric to believe that we are the center of the universe, that we will live forever, and that we hold the absolute truth of who we are and who others are.
Well... We don't have the absolute truth of the universe, but we have the ability to discover what is true for us.
Here is the invitation to explore more of our own truth and let those egocentrics, who are eager to tell us what we should or shouldn't do, continue in their insignificant existence. We have no relevance to the universe, but we can choose who truly has relevance in our lives.

When i moved into my new place there was mint planted directly into the flower bed which had grown out of control as it is an invasive plant. I spent about 5 hours digging it out and repotting it. there was more than i could pot so i froze and dried some too!!
the dried mint was the first thing i have added to my little apothecary and iβm very happy with it.
i gifted 3 pots to family and have kept the rest!
Named after the Water Nymph, Minthe which was super exciting when i moved in as i felt much closer to my Gods almost like a sign!!

A little offereing to Queen Persephone π₯
Persephone has teaching me that the true altar is not in objects but in how I communicate with the beings around me. I really want to give the best statue of her, but it won't help if my relationship with the Queen is superficial π .
