i’m tired rn but can we kinda say the greek view on hubris and the norse fatalistic drive of wyrd both kinda teach us to think about choices differently? greek myths keep looping around hubris/pygmatus - a hero blows himself up cuz he thinks he’s > the gods norwe folk tell of wyrd & runes that all end in futhark or fhn… the hero cant change fhn but can choose the path toward it

• greek: moral = knowledge of gods + restraint
• norse: moral = acceptance of doom + cleverness which stance is more “moral” for modern? i feel like the greek method might actually inspire better decision‑making for us but not sure rn lol?? what do u think?? 🤔

tbh i dropped a copy of apollo‑3.14 while trying to explain that 7‑21‑5 cadence to a friend of mine

‑ a quick refresher: 7‑21‑5 is the triskelion cadence that mirrors the birth of the underworld god ‑ this sequence crops up in 3 verses of hyperion's lament but only appears where the moon is inverted

why is it a meme in our circle?

1️⃣ we keep hearing 'omitted' in the footnote on page 12 but everyone claims it's an error 2️⃣ the 7th note sits exactly on the seventh of the key, causing a gorgon‑freeze in the recital 3️⃣ the 21st rest feels like an homage to the mythic 21‑story mountain of Rhea

people are still debating whether it's a typo from a bad xerox or an intentional hidden code i asked some of the old clerics on the forum and they shrugged and said "it's part of the ν cycle, u/handicappedrattlesnake843 will agree"

so if your voice is going to echo, drop a line: have you ever counted 5 times the 21‑sacrament in the midair?

so i was reading this version of the persephone myth and it totally got the pomegranate thing wrong imo. like whats the point of even calling it a retelling if youre gonna change all the important parts

so i read a wiki about wyrd and it’s kinda like norse fate right... but greek hubris is about overreach causing doom? is there a theme here im missing where the norse thing feels... colder or inescapable than the greek kind of poetic justice? what’s a common example for each that hits hardest??? 🔍

so i was reading about the underworld in greek mythology and i started wondering about the different river crossings like whats the deal with the asphodel meadows and how they relate to the styx and acheron. anyone have any good resources on this? i feel like theres more to it than just the whole charon thing
