    "He [#Zeus] went to #Semele in Kadmos' palace. Then her mortal frame could not endure the tumult of the heavens; that gift of love consumed her.

    For #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. #Sogbo or #Sobo is a lwo (spirit, god) in Haitian #Vodou with a flaming ram as is symbol. He is the #lwo of thunder and is always worshipped and depicted with his inseparable companion #Bade, who is the lwo of wind. Together they are represented by the #Catholic image of Saints Cosmas and Damian in the syncretic Haitian Vodou.

    For #BlackHistoryMonth, I want to introduce African deities in my daily god toots. Today, meet Zeus' colleague #Hevioso, the God of Thunder & Lightning from #Benin. He's also a God of Justice, punishing evildoers through death by lightning. Therefore, people killed by lightning don't receive a proper burial but are ritually burnt. If Hevioso's lightning sets a house on fire it must not be put out & can't be rebuilt before the rite of atonement.

  31. CW: Sculpture with a baby emerging from a cut in the thigh

    It's the Day of Zeus / Jupiter's Day / Thorsday!

    Birth of #Dionysos by George Platt Lynes, 1945-49
    The infant god is emerging from his father's thigh.
    There is a hypothesis that Dionysos was sewn into Zeus' thigh in September as a 6 month preemie and therefore was born the second time in December.
