On this, the last day of the month, the topic is what advice I would give someone who was just beginning to learn about Hera. I would advise looking at all of the mythos surrounding Hera, not just the portion that people use to “support” the two-dimensional view of her that is most common. Also,…

Today’s topic is any interesting UPG that I may have on Hera. First however, I would like to go over what the term UPG means it means Unverified (or Unusual) Personal Gnosis. While gnosis does mean understanding or knowledge, the PERSONAL part is often just as important as the gnosis being unverified or unusual. Sometimes a…

Today’s topic is about Hera and what I wish I knew about her and do not. And for me, I wish that I knew more about how she was worshiped in the Mycenaean and Early Classical periods in Ancient Greece. I am especially interested in how she was worshiped within the home instead of in…

Today’s topic is about what I consider to be the worst misconception people have about Hera. And I think it is the modern preoccupation with Hera being the “jealous” wife who torments every child of Zeus other than those by her. This is a perception that, in my opinion, really was thrust into prominence by…

Today’s post is about how my relationship with Hera has changed over time. And this is both an easy one and a difficult one to write. When I first started being “called” by the Hellenic Gods, it wasn’t any of the daughters of Chronos who were doing the calling, it was Athene — who later…

Today’s topic is about a time when Hera refused to help. And this is about a time when I needed to get MYSELF out of a bad relationship that had actually been emotionally abusive from the very beginning, even though I hadn’t  realized it from the very beginning. She allowed me to realize over time…

Today’s topic is one that I had to do some serious thinking about to narrow down to just one. It is a time when Hera helped me in particular. Interestingly enough, it was a time where I hadn’t asked her to do so, although I have been thanking her regularly for since. It was for…

To Hera of the Heights Hera Acraea Mistress of the heavens, The winds and the clouds are yours to command Lady of the zephyr and the gale, the showers and the downpour. Iris of the rainbow is your messenger. Grant us fair weather from your peacock throne. That we may offer you wine and aromatic…

Today’s topic is a quote, poem or other piece of literature that brings Hera to mind for me. The one that I am using is one that goes back to my childhood and was on a hanging in my parents’ home for many years. “To one who bears the sweetest name and adds luster to…

Today’s topic is music that reminds me of Hera. And the two songs that remind me the most of her are both by the band STYX, and specifically by former member Dennis DeYoung. These are “Song for Suzanne” and “Babe”, both of which seem to refer to Mr. DeYoung’s wife Suzanne. Both songs speak to the…
