Tell me I'm over reacting, so I can move on

Thats why I linked the page I did, not it's sibling. It has a good bit of info... but with no sources, I'm not comfortable trusting it at face value.

Theoi is a website, I take it? I'll have to look into it.

It doesn't mention her being a goddess of wisdom. My college textbook on Classical Mythology also does not mention that she is a goddess of wisdom. There is nothing wrong with that though!

Indeed - just because she's not historically associated directly with wisdom doesn't mean she's a bad deity to ask for help there ^_^

Also, it may just be me, but I get a "wisdom" vibe from chthonic concepts generally, across cultures. That's my UPG but a similar impression may be where that idea comes from.

Just because something has a lot of info doesn't mean that its good. I was looking over that site more and that page you linked would probably be the only page I would trust the info on.


And I'm not saying its bad to ask Her for wisdom. I was just wondering why he said that She was called a wisdom deity when I had never read that before.

The Theoi Project is literally the ultimate site on Greek Mythology, the rest of us weep with envy that other cultures don't have similar resources.

I walk a path of life, love, healing and peace. I feel the urge to punish, to banish and curse my father. I want nothing more! I want to destroy him, tear down everything he has worked to build, and leave him begging for death! My greatest desire in life is to reduce his worldly kingdom to sand, to see it blown away by the four winds! I want to send Hecates hounds to tear his flesh, want Nemesis to stalk his dreams! I want to unleash all the things of the dark, to make him suffer the way he has made my mother suffer!

I WANT HIM DEAD

I feel the same way about my father and grandmother, both of whom are lying, manipulating, and self-centered. My father also happens to be a registered sex offender (attempted rape while the woman's daughter was in the room) and my grandmother is a child molester, though I don't know the details (my mother doesn't talk about it).

I wish nothing more than slow, horribly painful death upon them, and that scares me. Not the hating them, which they deserve, but the fact that I actually want them to die painfully. Whether they deserve it is beside the fact. I'm uncomfortable that I wish that on another person.

Good luck with your attempt to forgive your dad. I understand what you're going through. I personally have no intention of ever forgiving my father or grandmother, but I can't and won't tell you whether or not to forgive your father.
