Cat<p>The hyacinths are thrusting up through the soil, the gayest flower of the early spring season. They're named after Greek hero and Spartan prince, Hyacinthus. Renown for his beauty, he was a lover of the West and North Winds, and later Apollo. </p><p>He tragically died while playing discus, when he chased after Apollo's throw and it bounced back and hit him in the head. An accident, or the influence of the jealous West Wind, Zephyrus?</p><p>Where his blood fell to the ground, Apollo raised flowers to honor him. He was defied and buried at the feet of Apollo's temple, and his cult was widespread. There is some evidence he was actually a pre-Hellenic cthonic deity of vegetation and sorrow, who was later merged with the cult of Apollo.</p><p>Though our modern day hyacinths are not the same as the ancient Greek's, which were closer to irises, every year I still appreciate these cthonic, phallic flowers when they arrive to signal spring.</p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pagan</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mythology</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/bloomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bloomscrolling</span></a></p>

Steve McCarty 🇯🇵<p>My wife and our friend found an ancient Shintō shrine full of lore that was nevertheless deserted on a busy weekend in Kyōto. Konoshima Jinja (木嶋神社) or Kaiko no Yashiro (蚕の社) features a rare three-legged torii gate, symbolizing stability and a connection between the spiritual and physical realms. Going back as far as the beginning of the 8th Century, considerably before Kyōto became the capital, the shrine is mainly dedicated to silkworms, as silk has played an important cultural role in Kyōto's history.</p><p>The three-legged torii gate also alludes to the three-legged crow Yatagarasu (八咫烏), regarded as a divine messenger. Important Kyōto shrines like Yasaka Jinja and Kamigamo Jinja along with the Imperial family have associated themselves with the Yatagarasu, yet I found that the cult actually goes back to Chinese and Korean mythology.</p><p>Hidden Christians appropriated the 3-legged torii as the Trinity.</p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Japan</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Kyoto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kyoto</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Shinto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Shinto</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>religion</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mythology</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/religion" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>religion</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/mythology" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>mythology</span></a></span></p>

The personification of time in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GreekMythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreekMythology</span></a> is Chronos (Χρονος), not to be confused with Kronos (Κρονος), the dad of Zeus and his siblings. The conflation of the two occurred in antiquity but became more widespread during the Renaissance, which is why Father Time wields the harvesting scythe of Kronos in modern iconography. In Orphism he is a two-sexed deity born from Hydros (water) and Gaia (earth).</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/mythology" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>mythology</span></a></span> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mythology</span></a></p>
