Learn about Hades, the enigmatic Ruler of the Underworld. I am a 10 year Hades devotee and this video is a full length class I taught about Hades's Myths and Symbols around the winter solstice. 

Enrich your Hades worship practice, follow his call, and allow this class to remind you of his most popular myths and symbols as well as introduce you to some more esoteric stories as well.

Our Group Prayer We Wrote in this Class:

"Ode to Hades"

O King Hades, your love for persephone even River Lethe could not fathom the loss of, its sweetness and endurance a reflection of you, Melancholic master.

Pluto, god of wealth and Lord of the underworld.

Hades, stern, magnanimous, whose wise counsel strikes true

Bringer of stillness and quiet, unseen subtle might.

Eubulous, I offer you my darkness and an ear, I teach as the eternal learner

The Plutonian mirror calling me to transform

Even in the cold of the Underworld, your kind heart warms the souls of all who you meet.

O unseen one who guides those through the journey of life and death, holder of the keys, guide of darkness

s you are the Unseen but your always presence known, help me be such a lasting presence and comfort to those around me even when I am not seen

God of liminal grey, weighing judgment and grace, open the gates of creativity as you see fit -  cut through the cacophany and grant clarity.

Protector of hidden knowledge keeper of inherited wealth ruler of legacy above and below

Receiver of many,  lord of darkness, whose embrace waits at the end of the river Styx, whose sentence awaits us all

Hades, the ground we walk on and reap riches from, we find our purpose in you.

Hail Hades, Chthonic King, You offer counsel and support, creative sparks and growth.

Hades, master of wealth, keeper of words and fate, cypress trees begin to sing as you allow us to sink down to you

Rejoice in us as we rejoice in you.

This was a really special episode for me that turned into an entire mini-essay as I was recording and editing it! I litterally started the pod thinking I was going to talk just about my day to day experience and it became a much larger exploration of how astrology fits into my pagan belief system. I hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think about this topic and style of episode!
