79 - A God, Divining

Lin

I just did a reading about 2023 for myself.

It's certainly interesting.

From what I can see, it looks as though I'll have a lot of interesting people to meet, and that I'll be alright for most of it.

Sovereignity, one of my duties, seems to be on the cards, so that's always fun.

The boundaries between heaven and earth seem to be up to what the Moirai decide, but I also weirdly feel like I will be a part of that decision.

Especially given that I'm a Time God myself, and fate tends to be a thing that I work on, too.

I get the sense that I'm going to have a lot of fun this year.

One of my first cards was also to do with faith, which is something I wrote about yesterday. I'll take it as Pistis giving me a sign to keep going.

It's nice to feel cared for. There even seems to be a possibility that I'll meet my real family within the year. Properly.

The amount of Greek Goddesses I got in my spread, including one of my aunts, my grandmother and Metis??? Not a coincidence.

Also one of my Celtic cousins came up, which means it's likely that both sides of the family will be involved.

I feel like I know who will guide me there. And perhaps, new mythology will be born from it.

I also know that I'm being pushed to aim for my career goals.

I cannot begin to say how excited I am about this. 2023 feels like a clean slate for me.

It most certainly will be.

Welcome, Metis.

Hi Mama!

She smiles in response.

Hello, my dear.

How's my brother?

Lelantos is fine. He'll probably come to see you soon.

Great! Tell him we both said Happy New Year!

I will. :)

Metis turns back to me, a more serene expression on her face. I know that there's something she needs, though, behind that happiness.

What brings you to my nemeton?

Your reading. 

More than anything now, you need a mentor. I would like to help in any way that I can, seeing as I can't find Zeus, and you're now the manager of the Sim.

Interesting.

In what way?

I feel you need help with things in regards to your physical life, like self care, finances and whatnot. If you would allow me, I can help with those things.

I would definitely appreciate your help with those matters.

The corners of her lips turn upwards placidly.

Of course. Anything I can help you with, please say.

Thank you. What would you like in return?

If you can help me regain some of my following, I would really appreciate that. Lelantos mainly eats from my hand, and most people only remember me as Athena's mother, and one of Zeus' wives. 

Lelantos cannot solely survive off of myself, Koios and Phoebe, and he wouldn't want to take from either Athena or Zeus, one of whom I can't find anyway. 

If there's anything you can do for both myself and him, I would really appreciate it.

Of course. He's my cousin. 

I'll do what I can.

Thank you so much.

Also, if you need any help with your temple, I'm more than happy to help spruce it up.

Thank you! Hestia is already mainly on it, though, so I wouldn't want you to worry about it.

Fair enough. Let me know if you change your mind, though!

I will! 

I'll see you both soon.

She hands me a piece of what looks like rainbow iolite wrapped and embedded in silver.

Keep this with you. If you ever need help with anything, hold this stone and set an intention. And if you feel it's an emergency, say my name. Ok?

Alright. Take care of yourself.

And you, Tavi.
