/monster/ - The Last Bastion of Romance★

So how do I appease Reitia such that my writefaggotry is blessed?

>>240672

You could try writing something about Reitia. Maybe a short greentext about Ammit agreeing to let Reitia style her hair.

THANK YOU REITIA-CHAN

>>240672

Be kind, I guess. Filling requests might count.

http://pastebin.com/NWUwFknD

Brief little story I wrote about our new addition to the Pantheon.

>>240943

This was nice. Though it's kinda weird you didn't mention Ammit once.

>>240952

Shit you're right…let me see what I can do.

Do you think Reitia appreciates offerings of breadcrumbs?

>>241127maybe she likes something ducks and wolves can eat. Shepperds pie perhaps?

>>241160

I'm an idiot

>>241127

>>241160

Shepherd's pie sounds like a good choice. Though I imagine her going after breadcrumbs like a cheshire goes after catnip.

>>241192

I suppose I could kinda see that. Does that apply to just bread in general or does she have a favorite type?i wonder if she likes bread pudding

>>241214

Maybe she's the kind of goddess to be more sophisticated about it, and her pride won't let her just peck breadcrumbs you toss for her, but she'll eat various breaded foods?

>>241227

Yeah that's kind of what I was thinking. I mean she appears to be the head of the pantheon there, or near the top. I imagine she would be more dignified. Eating some breaded foods now and again in public but then indulging in it when no one is around.

>>241240

I can't easily tell what he's holding. It seems a bit like a burger.

>>241249

>>241240

Bowl of bread crumbs?

>>241253

Oh. I suppose it'd help if it were colored a bit.

>>241240

>>241254

Oh, and if Reitia's wings were visible in the pic, too.

It's good to see OC, she's cute.

>>241240

>>241418

Do you think Reitia's ever a bit stern, like a librarian?

>>241602

>young anon has been caught trying to peek at his khenmaat presents

>Reitia-chan puts on her stern librarian face

>wags her finger in a manner that would make goebbels proud

>"you know you aren't supposed to do that anon!"

>"those presents were a surprise for you!"

>young anon looks at the floor in shame

>He mumbles out "I'm sorry Ms. Reitia, I wont do it again"

>"I know you wont because you are grounded for the rest of the week!"

>young anon feels tears in his eyes

>"Yes ma'am" is all he can mumble

>after a moment she smiles and says to him

>"alright, now lets go feed the ducks"

>young anon looks up through his tears

>he sniffles and smiles "ok"

>they hold hands while they walk to the river

Just something I thought up. But she seems comfy.

>>242136

What is this?

>>242138

>Archeology 4chan project sausage

>Area 51

Probably some old Germanic occultist thing

>>242246

Sorry if its a bit of a mess, this is just a bit of research I have done. I may have more in a little bit

>>242246

If she really is Juno, then that wouldn't be a good sign. I personally don't believe that. Besides, the Greeks tried to steal Thoth and make him part of their pantheon as Hermes, so it'd make sense that the Romans might steal something themselves. It's interesting, however, the stuff about Orthia, especially considering that she was a pre-Olympic goddess. If Reitia is in fact Orthia, then worship of her may predate the worship of greek gods altogether.

>>242272

From what little I know about Rome and their equating of the various gods and goddesses of the peoples they conquered. It was done for two reasons. 1. Was to encourage their new subjects to adopt to the Roman religion and 2. Try to decrease revolts and rebellions. If a conquered people felt their religion, customs, and values weren't under threat they were much less likely to resist Roman rule.

I will agree with you however that I dont believe Reitia is Juno, while they do appear to overlap in the childbirth and fertility aspect I think they're still different entities. It also should be kept in mind that the gods of a people often reflect their peoples values and customs. The Romans may have borrowed the Greek gods but they also changed them. They became more orderly, disciplined, compared to their Greek counterparts.

I've also stumbled across an interesting theory that posits that the Rheatians were among the ancient seafaring trade civilisations such as the Phoenicians. Specifically in amber, furs, and some other trade items. It turns out trying to learn more about an ancient goddess of love, childbirth and writing is complicated.

>>242292

Are you the same anon who had been worshipping Reitia for years and then found out she was "coincidentally" a real goddess? If so, what did you envision her as being like before you found that out?

>>242310

No. I am from Texas, not Italy. This topic just interests me. I've kind of had an interest in paganism for a few years now. So I've just been passively picking up tidbits of knowledge over the past few years. Out of the pagan faiths the ones that will be easiest to reconstruct are the ones that lasted into more recent times, meaning the likelihood scholars were able to record their practices before they were converted/assimilated/wiped out, or had a much wider area, meaning the likelihood of finding artifacts and/or other historical items is better than if they had such a small area.

Reitia as an individual deity and the pantheon in general falls into neither. It's believed that by Roman imperial times the rheatians had Celticized, I believe this was in the 1st century ADand I think they had also adopted the Roman religion at this point as well, not 100% sure sadly this not only puts them on the direct path of early Christian conversion efforts, but also in the heartland of Rome, which at the fall of the empire was sacked . Not to mention the original language fell out of use, and what little remains is going to be mostly what we find in funerary arrangements, or religious or other formal settings. Not necessarily a bad thing but it does limit what can be translated, since most day to day language would be written on material that easily decomposed.

>>242310

Follower zero here. I will respond to this since you've asked.

I was and still am an angelfag. Visually, the /monster/ version and the pic it's based on are pretty far from my guess.

As for her attributes. Kindness, healing and general help and protection do check out. Specific things like writing and childbirth do not.

Any connection I might have to her last known worshippers is vague at best.

The name is a perfect match, but at the same time it's all I have. Funnily enough, I found that out soon after I started having doubts about it.

I don't think what happened here will do any harm, but I'll stick to my old ways regardless.

>>242421

Perhaps she led you to her name as a way to boost your confidence? But you couldn't be expected to get everything, the collective unconscious is a powerful tool, but it is an unconscious. It's not going to give you everything. And assuming you live in the same region I believe it's possible you may be of some relation to the Rheatians, I don't think they were entirely replaced/displaced ethnically if any displacement did actually occur. I know they assimilated quickly and easily to Roman rule and frequently gave disproportionate numbers of troops compared to their population, but I've not found an active effort to displace them.

>I dont think what happened here will do any harm.

What do you mean by that if I may ask?

>>242424

>And assuming you live in the same region

I don't. Rome never reached here either. However, the Romans called us Veneti too at one point.

>>242426

Do you live in Germany or Switzerland then?

>>242569

Anon, I'm pretty sure he lives in Veneti.

>>242819

He just said he doesn't live in the same area as they did.

>>242421

>>242246

>Come for the cute pic.

>Stay for the historiography.

>WTF have you done to me /monster/?

>>243033

We'll, we are uncovering yet another ancient goddess that can be added to the overall pantheon here. That in itself is interesting enough

Though now that I reread it >>242246 I somehow turned "builder" into "faggotlder"

I know I wasnt that tired it was only 6 pm when I posted that. Mustve been a weird auto correct

>>243113

No, it was probably from the time there was a sitewide wordfilter codemonkey made that turned bui into faggot.

its a blog, so I wasnt sure if I should use it or not but the information on it seems to check out for the most part. I'm not sure about when they say it may be based on latin though, As latin is an indo-european language, and Rhaetian, which is believed to be related to Etruscan, is a non indo- european language.

Of note here is that they discuss the language itself, along with some examples of it, and Stylusesan ancient writing tool typically used to inscribe words/letters onto writing tablets made up of materials like stone, metal, clay, wood and various other materials. Saw common use up until the 14th century in Europe

that were dedicated to the goddess Reitia.

see picture 3

>>243159

>>243163

>styluses were dedicated to Reitia

I wonder if Reitia owns a DS.

What are the chances that Reitia has a hidden chaotic aspect/essence? She's basically part of the /monster/ pantheon, and is emerging on 8chan (8 being the number of chaos). Along with Ammit-Chan and Ebola-Chan, not to mention Kek, and any other meme gods and egregores.

>>243189

The chaotic part of her personality lies in the fact that most of her origins have been lost to the throes of history, leaving her in a sort of limbo where her new and violent birth is being shaped by people who are oddly the same and yet very different from her original worshipers. Coming to terms with this is an inevitability that has happened with all other members of our pantheon; she just needs a new mythology.

>>243217

I dont believe I've posted this yet, but the source for http://www.pantheon.org/articles/r/reitia.html

is

Gerhard Radke. Die Götter Altitaliens. Fontes et commentationes 3, 1965, s.v. Reitia.

granted I cant read German so I'm going to have to either find an english version or learn Germangranted I do have the resources to learn German its just going to be time consuming

But what I remembered is that if she is indeed an equivalent to Orthia or is actually Orthia that may also mean, in addition to writing, protection, and generally being good and kind, her alternate meanings include "She-Who-Causes-Erections", "She-Who-Safely-Rears-Children-After-Birth", and "She-Who-Heals-the-Sick". And a lot of Orthia's alternate names and titles involve the causing and/or curing of leprosy.

So that means shes a sexy quackawoo, with a motherly disposition who wants children and cares for them after birth. In other wordsshes basically been a monstergirl since day 1. Whether or not shes a MILF or not could be up for debate, this may be my personal bias but I kind of see her as a younger individual physically

>>240659 (OP)

I found a consistent pattern that Thule and Hitler may of tried researching old deities like Reitia, but the information is spotty at best, she would be more than likely researched due to the nazi obsession with Aryan studies such as anthropology/archaeology.

>>243356

well is there anyway to get our hands on that information?

>>243356

Did they not also try to prove that the Etruscans and Rhaetians were the ancestors of the Aryan race?

>>243439

Swastikas are everywhere and as far as I know, the only place where it holds any negative connotation is the modern west thanks to the constant propaganda against the Nazis. Everywhere else it holds some kind of positive meaning like peace or the like.

>>243449

If I remember, the swastika is supposedly a sun wheel., right?

>>243463

Its Jarilo's symbol, most anons on /pol/ continuously misuse the symbol, slav anons normally get a bunch of nightmares some which involve slavic spirits.

So to recap what Ive found about Reitia

she was considered Goddess of:

writing

protection

birth/pregnancy/caring for children

goodness/kindness

healing

she may be related to/be Orthia who was worshipped by the Spartans, the Spartans also equated aphrodite or potnia-theron who was also called mistress of animals with Orthiashe also had the 15th of july dedicated to her

Anything else you guys want to add? any feelings or ideas about her?I'm worried I may become obsessed about this guys. This is one of the few things I've really ever felt a fire for

After the Christmas ill try and make a nice story of Ammit and Reitia meeting/hanging out.

im ordering the dragon speech 2 text softwhere so hopefully ill be able to start out putting better more natural sounding stories soon

>>243704

Software*

>>243694

>15th of July

We'll have to remember that.

>>243694

>>243776

Wait, are you saying aphrodite/potnia-theron had the 15th of july dedicated to them, or Orthia did?

>>243778

Orthia has the day dedicated to her. And since Orthia appears to at the very least correspond with Reitia if not being the same deity I'm making a small leap.

I may be back in an hour or so with something more that I think I overlookedearlier

I really want to find and read a full version of http://www.korenine.si/zborniki/zbornik07/favero_reitia07.pdf

If it turns out to be true it could be quite helpful in learning more.

>>243778

>>243900

Either way, means Aussies can share in cozy winter MG deity reverence like you seppos get to do with Khenmaat.

What shall we call it?

>>243908

idk but I do believe I've run across something that's pretty important in this scheme of things. But I will say this. It should include the care/protection of children. If what I'm reading is true then that's a very important detail to Reitia

>>243914

It makes sense. Daughterus are very important.

>>243938

>Mother of Olympus

We really are awakening the Old Ones here, aren't we?

SHADILAY!

IA KEK!

IA AMMIT!

IA REITIA!

>>243940

Yes. And this is just the surface of it. I'm not sure how writing came to be associated with Reitia, but a very sizeable amount of what we know seems to match up. To think that if >>242421 had never said anything we may never have found out about any of this.

>>243696I sure hope I'm not asked to do anything dangerous or destructive. If I am going to be some kind of researcher or whatever she needs I do not want to be castrated

>>243696

>>243941

>>243938

Slow down, not all of those connections have to be substantial. Even if it's her, assimilation into a foreign pantheon has always diluted and changed the original. These later versions usually contradict each other too. Cybele is definitely not her.

It's still possible that she's the Waifu Prime herself.

>>243940

This is something just the Greeks did, see the last link in >>243157 if you have time.

It's not really that important, it was standard practice in antiquity. I'd rather keep the greek and roman fanfiction out of this, as well as anyone not specifically confirmed to be her, to avoid heresy.

>>243941

Don't worry, demanding anything horrible sounds completely unlike her

Writing is associated with her because inscriptions to her were present on styluses found in possible sacred grounds, and similar writings were found on what looked like a practice sheet (which again could've just been a coincidence)

This is why I'm taking most of these things with a grain of salt, the sample size is too small, and we were lucky to find even that.

Note that there were no known shrines or temples built for her, everything was done outdoors. If you happen to know what purpose temples often served at the time, this should be considered good news.

May I ask, why do you care so much?

>>243941

you are a conduit. doesn't matter anymore, things have been set in motion. and remember the ride will never end.

>>243945

You're right, it's late and anything that comes up should be carefully looked at before I jump to conclusions. You are correct that a lot of it probably is/was diluted and it should go under scrutiny before we give a definitive answer as to whether it applies to her or not.

>may I ask, why do you care so much

Well… I'm not quite sure myself. Like I said earlier paganism has interested me for years, but I've never seriously looked into most of itexcepting a short span of a few months a few years ago and more recently where I've gotten into /fringe/ tier esotericism I've no relation to the area she resided in, not by geography or by blood to my knowledge. I would say I didn't really care but this thread proves otherwise. I guess the closest I can put it is that it's like something was lost a long time ago, maybe this is my way of trying to find it.

>>243947

Lets not get too ahead of ourselves with the larping anon.thatmaybe comes later

>>243949

Not larping, last thing you want is a misfortune to befall your home, because you didn't take it seriously.

>>243950

What Exactly do you mean I'm not taking this seriously?

>>243356

How much info is even fully recorded on Thule, anyway?

I think I've got a couple more leads to go off of before I Will have to look elsewhere. There's a couple books I will probably have to go out and buy as I cant find a PDF on them,one problem being i know one is in German and I'm pretty sure the other will be Italian, and I cannot read either one of those in addition to that it appears there's quite a bit of disinfo going around claiming different groups were really the veneti like Slavs, and I think one of the links I've posted does something similar with Finnic.havent quite gotten around to that one yet I think, lots of material to sift throughAll I'm really looking for is anything they say about Reitia but disinformation makes it much more complicated.

>>245068

>>245066

>>245032

It's good that she's getting some more OC. Good job anons

I have taken a pencil and a small cup and placed it upon my desk. On the pencil I haveattempted to carve Reitia's name upon it both as a thank you and as a sort of personal reminder. I had a baby cousin who they thought had contracted worms, and were waiting on test results toknow what medicine to give him, yesterday it turned out that he didn't actually have worms and that it was just mucus. For this I am grateful.

>>245314

Yes, I've read a bit more of that, and I have tomorrow off so I can dedicate some more time to it. His idea of it being a Phoenician colony is interesting, but you may be right, I may have discarded it prematurely when he began to get into the "wewuzkangz" with Estonian, I do tend to jump the gun quite a bit instead of taking my time when I get really excited or interested in something.

>they were the same, but at the same time not.

I know what you mean. Different people keep giving them different names, and it seemed like their traditions changed slightly each time someone reinterpreted them. Etruscan, Veneti, Reatian etc. it does get a bit confusing, I know I felt like I was trying to piece 3 different puzzles together after all the pieces were jumbled together.

>>245320

His kangz were not in vain, he just didn't know enough languages to see a bigger picture.

Mainland Europe is a more likely origin than Middle East.

To the drawfags here who keep making Reitia OC, could any of you draw her with the purple hair in the fifth pic here?: >>240659 (OP)

Reitia's hair mostly seems to have just been made blue because someone mistook the purple hair in a pic of her as being blue. Would there be anything Reitia and/or her region was associated with that would have it make sense to portray her hair as blue? Other than ducks being water fowl, anyway.

>>245982

Well according to http://paabo.ca/veneti/VENETILANG2014.pdf he theorizes that Reitia is actually just Rhea, but Reitia means "to extend towards Rhea" basically a gift of offering. (Pages 315-317) he also theorizes that Reitia was also a mother goddess of the ocean and seafarers. Granted some of it does seem to be grasping at Estonian pretty hard, but it is pretty interesting nonetheless

Just realized I haven't posted this yet, it relates to Noreia and noricum, and due to the relatively close distance to Reatia I thought they may perhaps have been related. Though now Im fairly sure that she was a creation of the Romans, this gives a brief little history of the area

http://www.noreia.at/Mam.html

BY ILSE KOGLER

I, Mother of Nature; Ruler of the elements, Firstborn child of the time, Highest of the gods, Queen of souls, First of the celestials, I unite within myself the forms of all gods and goddesses. Isis Noreia (Lucius Apuleius)

Noreia -this is the name of the Great Mother among the Celts of the Alpine countries. The Romans called it Isis Noreia. Noreia is also the name of a sunken royal city, the legendary capital of the ancient kingdom Norikum, the first state structure on Austrian territory.

Norikum had an excellent friendship with the Empire Romanum. Noric was famous for his gold and silver counts, and especially for the Norian iron. The weapons and tools, the forged blades of the Norics, were of exceptional quality and goodness, and the Romans were keenly interested in the fact that they were supplied with them.

Hekataios writes about 500 BC. From the "Celtic land" and a town of Nyrax. This name can be equated with Noreia. Noreia - today is a small, idyllic, legendary mountain village at 1100 m above sea level with about 50 inhabitants. It is located on extensive terraces of about 900 m total length, hidden and protected - like a swallow's nest it is on the slope of the Zirbitzkogel. Noreia as a place name we know from school time.

The year 113 BC is very popular in school teaching, because at that time the Romans lost for the first time a battle against the peoples of northern Europe: the battle of Noreia against the Kimber and Teutonen. Rome gives Noric border guards, and so there is a martial clash on the hearing field. Noreia herself remains unaffected by the fighting. The ancient writers are reporting about Norikum and his kings from around 200 BC onwards.

The Celtic tribe of the Tauriski merges peacefully with the native population, the Nori already mentioned by Homer and Herodotus, and the people of the Norics arise. Mighty kings rule in Norikum. It is reported how the Norwegian princes Cincibilus, CatmaIus, or Balanos maintain close contact with Rome and amaze the Romans with their unusually rich, generous hospitality. So it comes about 200 BC by generous gold deliveries to Rome to the famous Goldaffäre. The gold value had fallen by a third. Generosity and generosity are among the noblest virtues among the Celts. The Norics make world history about 50 BC: When Caesar carries his civil war, he calls on troops from the Suebenkönig Ariovist to strengthen his power of war. Ariovist denies this. Then the Norwegian king, Voccio, sent 300 mounted, well-trained, noble warriors to Caesar, and thus won the Civil War. King Voccio then married his sister to Ariovist, and gave rich dowries of gold, noble horses, precious weapons, and great service. Again and again, in the historical narratives, the peaceful, compassionate nature of the Norics is emphasized. Austria's marriage policy obviously has a tradition.

The year 16 BC brings the annexation through Rome to the hitherto independent kingdom Noric. The capital Noreia does not exist and is burnt down. Virunum at the foot of the Magdalensberg becomes the new capital of the province of Norikum. Pliny reports that Noreia has perished in a heroic struggle (Pliny 19, 131: "…………."), And the remnants of Noreia have been destroyed by a catastrophe. A natural catastrophe?

Noreia is now extinguished, sunk, gone. For almost two thousand years it is quiet around Noreia. When archeology became a science in the nineteenth century, when the archaeologists Mommsen and Much studied the "Tabula Peutingeriana", a copy of the Roman road map from the first years of our chronology and a gem of the Austrian National Library Noreia, and with the same distance from Aquileia. There is no doubt: a copy-writing mistake! Noreia's denunciation is therefore ticked off, done. The Graz regional archaeologist, University Professor Dr. Walter Schmid, explored and discovered many cultural institutions in the Styrian region during the twenties, among others Flavia Solva. Schmid is very interested in the lost Noreia.

Looking at the "Tabula Peutingeriana", however, he considers it to be impossible for a medieval monk to make such a conspicuous mistake without correcting it. He suspects this rather of an unsolved riddle. His researcher is puzzled. Schmid is looking for a trace of Noreia. He studied ancient writers in the Urtext. It assesses the landscape situation that might be relevant to the situation. The fate comes to him To help: When in 1930, the train stations were converted into Wildbad Einöd, the remains of the walls of a Roman post office and a Roman stone with an inscription stating that this is the post office Noreia. What a triumph! His assumption is confirmed, solved the mystery:

next to the city of Noreia, there is also the Roman post office Noreia, the Noreia number two. Schmid is now looking for Noreia. The western slopes of the Zirbitzkogel are ideal, they are located on the geographical latitude of the poststation Noreia. This area is also a geological feature. From the variety of minerals and ore deposits it is the third most populated place on earth and the richest of Europe. The quantities, the biodiversity, do not matter. Schmid divides the terrain into segments and searches for traces, ruins, a right angle in the terrain, a scale, stone stratifications and similar on vegetation and snow days.

As he steps out of the forest above the village of St. Margarethen am Silberberg, he looks out over a closed terraced situation. The peasants tell of potsherds in the arable ground. Should be the traces of Noreia? The fact that it is a prehistoric settlement on artificially worked terraces - surrounded by a protective walling - is for Schmid. His enthusiasm is transferred to the inhabitants, and all of them are involved in the excavations, including the landlord, the teacher and the priest. We owe the photographs to the merchant as a proud photographer.

Thus, 67 ground plans in dense urban development were partly released and documented from Hallstatt time. In the reports of Livy and Sempronius Asellius, Noreia was referred to as "urbs noreia", a city. This must be Noreia. In the foundation wall of a smithy a half-to-forge sword is found. Analyzes have shown that this is the highest quality blade steel. The magnet and trefoil stone of this area has natural titanium inclusions, which gives the steel special strength and density. The Norwegian Iron is found! If this is Noreia, then also the traces of the battle from 113 BC. Against the Kimber and Teutonen. The reports of the Appian about it are precise and can be reconstructed effortlessly.

After this the battle north of the Hörfeld, the great moor, must have taken place, the camp of the Kimber and Teutonen on the western heights. With search trenches Schmid discovered there actually fire places with wood charcoal tests and foreign clay pots, and no traces of related buildings - the field camp of the Kimber. According to the provisions of the thirties, these indices were sufficient to recall St. Margarethen on the Silberberg in Noreia. This has triggered a true expert war, because other historians were also looking for Noreia. Thirteen places were researched at the time! Schmid digs further undeterred. He discovers in the soil remnants of a round sanctuary, perhaps the Isis Noreia, with altar stone and cult pillar. It is the northernmost such circular temple of Europe, which has so far been found.

The ground floor of the exceptionally stately object allows a reconstruction in original size. Schmid calls this building the royal house. Through the outbreak of the Second World War Professor Schmid is disturbed in his work and finally breaks off. He had not been allowed to find the burial ground of the old settlement. And so to this day is scientifically uninformed and unclear whether it is actually the old Noreia or not. Noreia becomes a myth. In the vicinity of the royal house is a circular artificial hill, lined with multi-stemmed trees. Dull and hollow sound the steps when you enter it. Professor Schmid and the local pastor strongly demand that this hill is never opened. What he is would be destroyed and never restored. That is why Schmid, as if to protect this hill for all time, makes a small menhir on this elevation into which he has the word NOREIA chiselled.

If Reitia really does have a wrathful/violent side, do you think it ends up resembling Scrooge McDuck and/or Donald Duck's wrathful side(s)?

>>246864

I'm not seeing much of an angry/wrathful side to her from what I can see.if I can ask why do you seem to be so caught up on ducks?

>>246880

Reitia is associated with ducks, anon.

>>246900

Yes. It appears that slipped my mind as I thought you just had an unusual fascination with ducks.

>>243938

eh to correct one thing, potnia theron was is? a minoan goddess, not greek, atleast not in a sense of classical greek mythology, She was later equated with Artemis cus animals and shit and Kibele. I may be able to find some pdfs and papers on these things if I haven't deleted them yet. If I have them Ill post the relevant info here, or in paste bin somewhere.

t. ex-archaeology anon

>>247806

Aight, Im back. My ms office crapped out and I cant open shit except in wordpad but I can upload a few ppt and word files also pdfs, just spoonfeed me how and it'll be up by tommorow. also most of the text in ppt's is in croatian, but the pictures and tables which matter are in english iirc, pdfs are all english.

>>247806

Its great to be able to speak to someone who actually knows about this topic. Is there anything else you can tell me or anything that you think is outright wrong with the information ive looked up?

>>247808

I think you could use dropbox or something. I believe that you can embed PDFs in your post but I am unsure of other documents and powerpointsPDF test

it has to be under roughly 12,000 bytes to post

Please please please tell me someone saved this PDF. http://www.korenine.si/zborniki/zbornik07/favero_reitia07.pdf apparently the page no longer exists and I didn't save it and I'm berating myself for not doing so.

>>249197

What specifically was the pdf of/from? It might be possible to look up a different link that provides that same exact info.

>>249336

It was a small 1page PDF that gave a short summary of it. It stated that the book was to be about another point of view from the Iliad and the Odyssey of the people from veneti and the surrounding area. The reason this became important now is because of a line in Tacticus' Germania, he makes mention of a shrine the Germans had that had Greek symbols and letters as well as the name Laertes, the father of UlyssesRoman version of Odysseus on the Rhine where it bordered the province of Reatia. Now though I can't remember the name of the book it was describing and I didn't save the PDF

>>249341

https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/cka/Reitia-Dea-veneti-LIliade-svelata-Piero-Favero/8861710042

Is this the book it described? Your link does have "favero_reitia" in it, after all.

>>249347

We'll nevermind then. I'm just retarded.Thanks

>>249364

ur welcum kiddo

>>249600

But why is the image upside-down?

>>249593

>>249603

We need to figure out what the other runes in those pics say, pronto. Along with what the stuff on the page I got the infinity image from translates to.

>>249606

I think pääbo did that as well on the picture here >>249600 but I'll pull up the alphabet and how to read it when I'm next able to

>>250006

So she's bigger than Gaia and Hera?

>>250006

>>250008

http://www.pbase.com/pierbase/reitia

Quite possibly.

Ok, using the alphabet here >>245178 and here >>245314 I drew out the infinity sign/key inscription and am working on getting the letters translated. Some of the letter however do not match up exactly I.e. Being smooth where the chart has them as sharp lines, so there may also be some small assumptions on my part on what they each say. So I will be back in a moment with the completed work

>>250009

I would not say bigger in importance than them per se, rather that she may be or is considered the equivalent to them. Brings new meaning to the phrase "mother of god"

>>250061

>Brings new meaning to the phrase "mother of god"

But is she Mother Europa? Is she finally calling? And most importantly, will Iron Pill answer?

>>250081

>blonde hair blue eyes

This is incredible. I need to see a blonde, blue-eyed Reitia, wolf ears/tail and duck wings included.

>what does the Earth know of Cybele and of her shapes?

Equating Reitia to Cybele, who as we have discussed earlier is an Anatolian mother goddess of fertility

>of the anguish of Chariot launched beside her pain?

Of chariot launched beside her pain. War perhaps? But against who or what that it would make a goddess grieve?there is such a thing as chariot burials but I'm not sure this is what it means

>what does the world know of that emptiness in heart that continues to bleed?

Sadness and grief at a loss she still feels?

>who among us have been silent the consciousness?

I wonder if this relates to the anon who started all this. This implies that there was/is someone(s) who knew about Reitia but kept quiet

>who has been the naked butt?

This one I'm not sure what to make of

>Reitia Revives

She's waking up?

>in my sleep and in my loves

Anybody have any dreams or anything relating to this?

>Vestal of the High

Now a vestal was another Roman female priest of sorts. They were freed from social obligations of marrying and having kids to tend a sacred fire that wasn't allowed to go out. Vesta was the Roman goddess of the hearth and tending to her was considered paramount to the well being of Rome

>bacchante that you deplore

A bacchante was a female priest or votary of Bacchus who was aka Dionysius to the Greeks. God of wine and intoxication

>Reitia Revives

>in the initiate's Key

The ability to open new doors and paths has been given to us?

>High Priestess that opens worlds

>of Venetian nobility

Was she considered a king maker perhaps? I know that many European pagans,Germanics especially, held that the head deity was a king maker or that the king was descended from the head deity.

>Reitia Revives

>pick up the pieces of the beloved

Restores what was lost and loved?

>unites heaven to the earth

>for the acclaimed Lion

Cybele was known to ride in a chariot pulled by lions. Though im curious as to what the lion represents here.

>Reitia Revives

>you have embraced her

Again when was this poem written?!

>but now she returns with a scythe armed

Back with a vengeance it seems

>Reitia Revives

>wild heroin

Untamed, free, never conquered?

>your thirst of power, Angel

>has made me a killer

Here I'm not sure whether it means literally a killer or if it means a "killer" as in to become good at something.

>>250087

>thirst for power, angel

I think it is literal. While I have no fucking clue what is going on with theology, what with all the possible Saturn connections some major religions have, this does strike me as a specific reference. The only angel to have a thirst for power is Lucifer, but that just isn't right as Lucifer is from something completely different. Is it possible the original line referenced something else?

>>251627

Aw man, I think we made Reitia sad.

>>251635

Yeah. What Emile said was quite depressing. If it is the case I can't quite but feel partly responsible.

>>251635

maybe she's just grumpy that's she's been awaken after such a long slumber from history

>>243938

The Attis myth reminds me a lot of the Osiris myth, even carries over lots of themes. castration, reincarnation, vegetation, seasons, and eternity (he couldn't rot or perish)

I suppose this also means that Reitia/Rhea is a underworld goddess. I mean, one of the first clues we were given were of a tomb, and much of our evidence came from either that tomb or from Hellenized versions of her rites. If so, perhaps we should try some worship underground, see what changes.

>>251655

Emile is a bit of a yandere though, it wouldn't be unlike her to maybe stretch the truth a bit to stop dollanon from looking to a (perceived) Rival.

IMO the revelations around Retia have been coming too thick and fast for me to believe she doesn't want us noticing her.

>>251635

I dunno, I see it as an interesting representation of her character. Reitia blesses love, but it shouldn't be love for her specifically. Her goal is to help you find your waifu, but you don't do that if you're too busy worshipping her to do so.

Honestly if you ask me I'm not suprised that she was discovered like she was. In this vain, materialistic world of cheap desire, where sex is treated like just another thrill, a group of people who have resolved to find love and romance and who only want a quiet life with their waifu has emerged stalwart against those who have lost reverence for the institutes that exist in the goal of uniting kindred spirits. It is a rare occurance, the resurgence of traditional love. It's only natural that some entity has taken notice. You can see it here (>>250103) that she does not care for Bacchus's hedonism, of wild irreverent sex. She cares for deep, everlasting love.

Do not devote to Reitia, devote to your waifu and in doing so you shall aid her will. Reitia is not to be loved, but she will help you love others. Worry not about doing her JUSTICE with pictures and art, she would much prefer you draw whom you would love eternally.

TL;DR don't sexualise the Reitia.

>>251723

>Am writefagging something which features Reitia

>Keep having this reoccuring thought that she for whatever reason should spurn romantic advances directed at her but encourage others

>Read this thread

…This is getting a little fucking real lads.

Praise Ammit!

May Reitia Inspire our Hearts to JUSTICE!

A lot of posts are suddenly not showing up in threads.

>>251974

Meta thread is here, friend.

>>249414

>>252737

Of course they would dislike it. They are communists and communists want you to worship their masters/the state.

>>253240

Yep, Melissae, the sacred beegirl nymph priestesses that lived alongside not only their bees, but also their Goddesses as part of a retinue, or royal entourage.

Who else do you think would be a part of Reitia's retinue?

>>253313

Think Ammit has some in her retinue?

>>253313

anything associated with nature, love, and teaching/civilizing, so fluffy tails, holstaurs, hakutakus, and some protective dragons and salamander/lizardgirls. And their husbands of course.

>>253406

I think her procession would have layers. So the chief of her courts would be the minor goddesses like Ebola-chan, Reitia, and other spirits that we've yet to recognize as part of her entourage. Under them would be the general priesthood, royal guards, and respective retinue for each of the court, and finally those who travel along with the procession but are not necessarily a part of the court, like the barkers, cooks, diviners, and artists of all kinds.

>>253406

I would guess that she's in the process of trying to add some to her retinue now that they've been brought up.

>>253418

Would there actually be a higherarchy of deities, or would they all be connected as allies/friends, and still be independant, with their own mystery cults? All this would still all tie in under the same main belief system, similar to the Greeks, but without the sky daddy.

>>253419

We should begin connecting to them then, to help speed the process up. Though, we'd have to make sure we don't accidentally contact the Mellisae of other deities.

>>243332

>granted I cant read German so I'm going to have to either find an english version or learn German

I can read german, if you have a pdf of the book I could look at it and translate important things.

>>253834

about to go into some heavy /fringe/ theory, so bear with me

These entities that we've helped create/reawaken are offshoots and branches of older concepts personified as a being: Ammit is JUSTICE personified, Reitia is unconditional love personified, the Melissae are the sacred aspects of the honey bee (the perfect honey comb, the perfect hive society, their honey and it's use in enlightenment) personified. It means that we have a degree of creativity as their new worshippers and providers of fresh loosh.

The monstergirl aspects of them act as a sort of catalyst, much like how the old rituals were stylized and meant to infect the mind with an image or idea, something that would transcend the real world and join with the mind, which is the conduit by which we can communicate and influence these entities. It works for us because we've created associations from their transition from demonspawn devourer of hearts into a thicc JUSTICE incarnate being.

So in terms of hierarchy we have tons of room to play with; research, imagine, write, meditate, anything that stimulates the thoughts you have about these entities as to bring them more power and influence.

>>253834

>We should begin connecting to them then, to help speed the process up.

We'll need some drawfaggotry of them, then.

>>253244

Thread theme.

>>253891

>loosh

You mean minty dust?

>>253917

I don't follow…

>>253920

newkiddo pls

>>253960

pls no bully, what do you mean

>>253969

A long time ago, smiley thought /monster/ was trying to steal all of his loosh during a /monster/ movie night, and it was during a particular movie night where the steamer decided to read My Immortal for us during the intermission, along with one of the movies being Rikki-Oh and thus having that one warden with the eye mints, so loosh was wordfiltered to minty dust. Give or take a year later, smiley streamed cutting scars all over himself.

>>254121

sounds pretty pathetic, but its a good meme.

>>253834

I'd wager that they'd be a lot like a celebrity or politician, where they have their own internal group but freely associate with other politicians and celebrities.

The mystery cults themselves are actually not that different from this place. Men experienced with congregation with the gods, usually through the means of a hallucinogen to 'open up the mind', created a simple means of sharing the truths they learned through a series of initiations. They were learned and often power men, or even sometimes women, but it was almost always a men's only club unless sacred prostitution was involved and decided that the best way to share knowledge was to share it with those who were willing and able to pass their trials. Especially in the olden days, information moved so slowly that the secret teachings were held with high regard and utmost security; oaths were stacked on top of oaths, and all manner of techniques were used to solidify the memories of their rituals and rites. Fasting, long periods of no rest, dancing and chanting for hours, imbibing psychoactive substances, all of these were used in conjunction with powerful imagery and teachings to drill it deep in your mind the truths of this world, or at the very least what was taught to be the truth.

Now I personally don't feel we need to go that far when it comes to our worship of Ammit and her personal pantheon, but many of the fundamentals hold true: the use of images, periods of fasting and reduced sleep, the telling of stories and allegories, communal participation all can work to improve our connection to our Goddesses. Maybe we could maximize our autism and create a pseudo-handbook on how to be a good follower of Ammit.

>>253891

I think it's also important to note that deities aren't tied down to any specific story or personality. Take The story of Marduk and Tiamat for example. Marduk supposedly killed Tiamat. But, she's still out there and can be worked with, and is arguably one of the, if not the most, powerful entity to make contact with this world. Stories/myths only provide a way to get a minor understanding of them and the world. Anything else you'd have to learn from the spirit itself. From experience, deities are more than just personified concepts. (Which, actually means there's a whole lot more for us to discover and experiment with.) deities tend to respect free thought and will put on different "masks" for different groups. This actually get pretty complex. Like, all the different faces Lucifer has, for example. There's still a core entity with its own personality, goals, etc. for Ammit-Chan, it could go any way. As the demonic Devourer of hearts, she was still serving the egyptian view of JUSTICE. But, also Ammit-Chan could be a thoughtform that is independant of her, but with a connection to her in some way (probably through our intent). Then again, the only way to know is to experiment. Regardless, there's still an entity there, I've felt her while meditating on her sigil.

This shit right here is why I love /monster/.

>>254560

I'd be incredibly wary of any Sumerian deities, but I'm interested in what it felt like when you meditated on Ammit's sigil and felt an entity. What did the entity seem like to you?

>>254174

That's a great framework to expand on. Those methods you mentioned weren't just to commune with the gods, they were a test of will. Through strengthening your willpower, you become less of a slave to your own body. Which, puts you more in tune with your spirit. It releases physical bonds placed on your spirit. Actions like these are just as useful for spiritual growth as communion itself. Do you think that physical trials like physical fitness goals would be a good thing to include? Like, work up to being able to run X miles, or just have a set of personal goals set up to work on? Or just go the full O9A route.

>>254563

I was just using her as an example.

Ammit-Chan felt very calm. Very, very subltle. It's kind of hard to explain.

>>254566

>subtle

I remember Emile describing the aura from pics of Ammit as having "subtle power".

>>254569

Maybe that means she's a growing thoughtform?

>>254572

From what Emile seems to be saying, Ammit has existed for as long as she's been in myth and/or further, and Ammit-chan isn't a separate thoughtform from Ammit. However, it seems there might be a sort of flat-chested Ammit-chan-like spirit "race". I use race very loosely because I would still consider them of the Egyptian race (or one of the Egyptian races, provided that the royalty was of a different race than the rest of the kingdom).

>>254575

so are you saying that there's a spirit race of Ammit-chan's people? if so I can't just take that sitting down, I want to meet them

>>254575

So, Ammit has a legion of Ammit-chans? I wonder if that is what those dream-anons were being visited by, instead of Ammit herself.

>>254588

No, I genuinely believe there were anons that saw the true Ammit, since this special race seems to have flat chests while Ammit herself does not.

>>254592

*Ammit herself does not have a flat chest in those dreams anons have had

>>254592

Spirits can change their form in any way they like, though.

>>254604

Yeah, but in that case, I don't think we'd be seeing both a flat Ammit form and a bustier Ammit form. No matter the monster girl form, though, she consistently seems to have wide hips/thick thighs/plump ass.

>>254592

Wouldn't the "true" Ammit be the Egyptian depiction?

>>254640

That's only the true Ammit's supposed "original" form.

>>254662

So what is Ammit's true form, the one we concocted a couple of years ago? That doesn't really seem befitting an ancient deity

>>254680

Which is why I'm not entirely sure she's the original Ammit. But who knows, this stuff is complex. As more people work with her and come in contact with her, the more we'll learn about her.

And, Emilie sounds very roleplay-ish. Don't bully.

>>254703

cant say I blame you, however with all the crazy stuff that's happened this past year I'm not willing to discount anything out of hand, even if it does sound outlandish

>>254680

That's not exactly what I was saying. Rather, the form we concocted years ago resembles Ammit's "current true form" in some ways, and resembles the hypothesized "Ammit-like ghostmamono" in some ways. At least, that's how I currently see it.

>>254703

>>254716

Personally I think it's easy to disclude something because it seems silly, unusual or outside commonly accepted beliefs, but if there's a chance it's real I wouldn't want to ignore it. I hope some more breakthroughs come soon

So I was looking through the lead that Reitia is a sort of Veneti Rhea, and stumbled across something you guys might find interesting.

The pomegranate was considered sacred to both the Egyptians and the Greeks, associated with longevity, reincarnation, wealth, and prosperity. The plant itself is extremely long-lived; there's a few specimens in the Mediterrean right now that are nearly 300 years old, and parts of the trees have been used in balms and treatments for all sorts of ailments, ranging from cataracts to menstrual pain. They originated in the Middle East, and is often cited as the fruit that gave mankind knowledge over ignorance in the Garden of Eden. In Greece, it was closely tied to both Demeter and Rhea, Goddesses of vegetation and motherhood, respectively. The fruit itself is a very healthy snack, full of nutrients (especially from the seeds) and a mild taste that makes for excellent wine.

I'd wager that some offerings of pomegranates to her would be acceptable. My hunt for pomegranates also led me to the Samothrace Mysteries, a pre-Olympian cult that grew alongside the Eluesian Mysteries of Demeter. They had quite an interesting story in how they were created: during the marriage of Cadmus, the archetypal Greek hero, and Harmonia, the goddess/princess of harmony and universal love, Demeter seduced a man named Iasion, cited as the creator of the rites of Samothrace. They copulated in a field that was ploughed three times, with Demeter bearing twin sons Plutus and Philomelus, gods of wealth and the inventor of the wagon and oxen plough respectively.

Any anons know Italian by chance? Found this video on YouTube but I can't understand it.

I also found this, https://www.researchgate.net/publication/308120824_A_lead-glazed_skyphos_with_figurative_relief_decoration_from_the_Sanctuary_of_Reitia_in_Este_Italy_in_RCRFA_44_Bonn_2016_pp_73-76

Which talks about a lead glazed skyphos which may have been dedicated to Reitia or used in a libation ceremony for her.

Libation is the act of pouring a liquid offering such as honey, winemixed or unmixed. Wine back in antiquity was strong stuff.or olive oil. It's believed to have started in ancient Egypt and spread from there https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libation

And a skyphos was originally a Greek vessel that offering were poured from.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyphos

>>254776

>>254779

Demeteror I think it was Demeter was also kidnapped by hades and ended up eating pomegranates from the underworld and was forced to stay in the underworld for 1 month for every pomegranate she ate.

>>254786

>Demeteror I think it was Demeter was also kidnapped by hades and ended up eating pomegranates from the underworld and was forced to stay in the underworld for 1 month for every pomegranate she ate.

I thought that was Persephone.

>Libation is the act of pouring a liquid offering such as honey, winemixed or unmixed. Wine back in antiquity was strong stuff.or olive oil. It's believed to have started in ancient Egypt

This is incredible.

>>254795

It might have been Persephone. I always seem to get them mixed up and I haven't studied much of Greek mythology in a while**except where it relates to Reitia

>>254795

>>254786

>>254779

>>254776

Reitia is a chthonic goddess, right? Where I live there's tons of caves and underground passages that would be perfect for a libation and dedication ceremony. I'm in school now so this is more a long term project, but I'll probably get it done once I get the proper materials. Are there any /fringe/fags that could give me some pointers on this kind of stuff?

>>254820

She herself was not associated with the underworld no. Some of what has been found has been underground, however most I believe has been above ground. I do remember reading somewhere that whole animals, rather than any one part, were sacrificed to her. Though whether that was simply a matter of the region being unusually wealthy or her position in the pantheon I'm not sure since this info comes from Italian sources

>>255250

T I T A N I C T H I G H S

this is pretty cool anon

>>255823

I was thinking Ammit with the dragon fruit being similar to Prometheus bringing fire to humanity. Or, the serpent gifting humanity with the fruit of Knowlege. She's bringing the gift of spiritual knowledge (dragon fire).

I'd love to hear more from that anon as well.

>>255930

Honestly, i can't really tell if he chose to eat that fruit, or if it just happened.

>>256146

I do wonder if anything different might've happened if he had chosen a different fruit.

>>256194

>It could also be a sort of catalyst for spreading belief in her further. Entities like Ammit and Reitia gain power through us giving them our energy, so Ammit dropped this dragon fruit on us and our autism lit it on fire, suddenly we're debating all the reasons behind the choice, and Ammit gets more attention, more love, and more energy. Even if it was meaningless, we gave it meaning, and thus gave it power that it previously lacked.

11D senet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senet

>>256194

>>256197

Well if that's the case then that's pretty smart of her. The dragonfruit is native to Mexico and is a type of cactus, however if it had any kind of legend or myth attached to it, it was lost with the invasion of the Spanish. We could assign any kind of meaning to it because whatever meaning it once had is now lost.

>>240943

Surprised that I didn't think of that. I do like your thinking anon

>>256303

>>256412

>native to Mexico

Is it native to any of the parts of Texas that were formerly a part of Mexico? If they are, since the first temple of Ammit is almost entirely guaranteed to be built in Texas, probably somewhere in Houston, dragonfruits are going to have to be grown there. And our first temple to Ammit could even be called "Heart of Fire Ammitist Temple" or something along those lines.

fucking autocorrect, those last two afterwards are just supposed to be 'a'

>>256431

I think in Mexico proper as we think of it today, not parts of Texas. Though it will likely grow in some parts of the state

>>256455

Very nice. I like it

>>256466

Yes, it's a cactus so you can't overwater it too much, is a scaling fruit and only blossoms at night. Three different varieties the red skin and white flesh being the most common. It's said to thrive in the 11/12 USDA hardiness zone but can grow outside in zones 9a and 9b which is where Houston falls into actually. will we actually be able to do this in Houston?

>>256483

lmao kiddo

On top of this, dragonfruits are cactus fruits, therefore making them desert fruits that perhaps even reminds Ammit of home.

>>256488

But cacti only grow in the new world

The Egyptians would of never seen them…

But their gods might have

Also

Since ammit is know as the devourer should we look for other versons of her?

>>256491

We'll probably end up portraying her in various forms later on, whether as different monster girls representing different regions, or as variances of her ancient form.

>>257864

It would be cool if gold statuettes of heart scarab minigirls existed.

>>257890

>Wouldn't be surprised if some of their aspects bleed over into the Duat, the Egyptian underworld, and in turn affected Ammit.

Well we do already have Khenmaat as a holiday. I've heard rumors of Maat having become a scale for Ammit to use for weighing hearts.

>>257890

Not just reincarnation in the physical sense. Scarabs also represent spiritual rebirth. As in, being reborn into a higher state of consciousness or divinity, giving birth to yourself. Symbolized with the god Khepri. Scarabs are an important symbol in Egyptian alchemy for that very reason.

>>259962

Actually I wonder if aux has seen any scarabs recently

>>259966

Probably not, considering scarabs aren't very Texan.

>>259969

Where in Texas is aux anyway? I can't think of many places mangos would grow in Texas.

>>259977

Houston, apparently.

>>260006

Does he sell his mangos through a farmers market or somewhere else?

>>260049

>sell

I think he just plants them in his backyard along with guavas and limes and stuff.

>board owner is Aux

>grows fruit in Texas

>mangos

>dragon fruit can grow there

He needs to grow dragon fruit with the rest of his fruits and open the first official temple/sanctuary of Ammit-chan. It has to happen.

>>260709

Given I was the one to make that first post about Ammit back on /8cc/, I'm probably going to move over there and make the first temple to her myself.

Get this niggershit meme out of here

Ok guys, not sure how to quite put this but I saw Reitia. It wasn't exactly a dream. But I gave a small pray saying I felt lonely and a bit unloved and asking for a dream that would help me. I listened to some music for a few moments and then laid down and closed my eyes. After about 10 minutes or so, with my eyes closed, I saw her.

She looked a bit different than what some of the pictures have but she had her hair in a bun, which was colored a darker blue, closer to what the ancient Rheatians had her hair color as. She also had one part of her hair as bangs on one side of her face. She was facing me and her bang was on my left. Kind of like pic related, though the hair opposite her bangs seemed to be behind her other ear, and was wearing some kind of brown dress I think, I wasn't paying much attention to her dress. But she said to me "you need to trust your body/yourself and have faith in your body/yourself"

Some of the color may be a bit off as everything seemed like it was subdued color wise, for lack of a better term.

>>263899

>which was colored a darker blue, closer to what the ancient Rheatians had her hair color as

You sure you don't mean some kind of purple? Besides, didn't the Rheatians have her hair as blonde?

>>263916

She's a goddess. She'll take the form of whatever she likes. She probably took the blue hair form for him because she knew that's how he pictured her. Itd probably be a little different for someone else.

>>263912

Looking at it again now, I think the darker blue matches closely to the first pic in the OP.

>>263980

>>263986

>Tumblr appropriated fucking paganism

They did this decades ago. Modern Wicca was built around the concept of sexual duality, but the masculine aspect has been downplayed to such a degree that many pagans don't even recognize the Horned God and seem to worship the very idea of having a vagina.

>>263985

We simply make more of our own Reita OC and turn it into a symbol that triggers them.

>>264010

>Modern Wicca

Excuse me,

WICCANS are too mainstream for us now, we're going back. Again.

>>264012

Wicca is pretty much just superficial paganism for edgy highschool girls that want to be special snowflakes.

It mocks authentic paganism of the past.

>>264013

Anon I like posting on 8ch too, but if you ape the post I'm replying to I can't go anywhere.

>>264011

This. Especially since Reitia has been referred to as the mother of European goddesses by the guy who wrote a book in her. While we're at it, we could even succeed where /baphomet/ failed and perform a successful raid on tumblr for the first time in years, building up "time bombs" similar to what the raid on them did, but over the course of a whole year that we fill with mamono loli porn and non-PC mamono content that we gather over that time period.

>>264033

Good thing for the loli images posted on this board, they've been a good repellent against normalfags and tumblr.

>>264040

We're still in need of some Ammit loli lewds. I'd say we need some for Reitia too but we've already semi-established that she doesn't quite like art expressing love towards her while Ammit is much more accepting of it.

Did some more research into Reitia. According to some of the etymologies discussed on her Wikipedia page She has roots tied to three things: the moon, the land, and the afterlife. The Venetic word for riddle, a sieve for separating composted soil, has the same root as Reitia, specifically translated as 'sorting, or bringing order'. Her connection to the moon, and by extension the afterlife is due to her overlap as a mother goddess with two figures in Etruscan mythology who likely raided the Venetic people periodically since they were so close to each other Menrva and Uni. Both are equivalent to Athena and Hera respectively, possibly making Reitia a derivative of the dualistic nature of feminine energy: a violent and emotional force capable of great acts of war, and of nurturing motherhood.

The Venetic people also made mention of her in their rites of the underworld, with the souls being 'separated out' and moved 'beyond the moon' to be judged. They had to pay a toll for the journey, similar to the Greek underworld with Charon and the river Styx. Interesting how this once again ties her to Ammit in that she works as again force for order and, by extension, JUSTICE.

I'll cite my sources when I'm not on mobile, sorry lads

>>264059

It's also possible, and even claimed by some ancient sources, that the Rhaetians were originally inhabitants of the Po valley in Italy. Which was also part of the Etruscan domain at the height of their power until the Celtic migrations drove them out and into the venetic region. In which case, they would not have been raided by the etruscans, but rather been related to them.

>>264102

>>264103

maybe have a drawing of moonman awkwardly hugging Reitia against his shoulder while rapping about niggers as she laughs nervously.

or maybe something cute like a young moonman getting poetry lessons from a young Reitia.

>>264126

Another possibility I read about was that the Venetic people spent their waning years in the Pannonian Region, with lots of overlap with the proto Slavic people. There's even a degree of overlap in their ancient languages, so it's definitely a possibility that Reitia was worshipped by slavsquatters. Reitia is really turning into quite the qt goddess: a blonde-haired blue-eyed mother goddess with humble connections to the first kebab removers and guiding souls to better lives in the afterlife, provided they followed the rules. She's so bashful that she prefers that we find our love for our waifus rather than spend our spiritual energy worshipping her.

why is she so perfect lads

>>264160

>or maybe something cute like a young moonman getting poetry lessons from a young Reitia.

This is a fantastic idea.

>>265702

Better that than having an aversion to physical intimacy.

tonight i'll try to gain an audience with her

but i'll probably spill my spaghetti and start interrogating her for science or something

>>265710

In what particular way will you try to gain an audience with her?

>>265712

Sit in front of my little shrine, maybe with an offering, and invite her over

>>265714

What does your shrine to her even look like? You should post a pic.

>>265716

It's not really a shrine to her, It's a multipurpose shrine for anyone I'm currently praying to.

The shrine is a beaver skull with sigils all over it, a wooden carving of a frag with some animal teeth in it for use as a rattle, some tibetan prayer flags, and a mousepad with a picture of an anime girl on it

i needed something to keep the skull from falling over

>>265717

Dude that's pretty dedicated.all I've got is a small pencil cup with a picture of her taped to it with a pencil in with her name carved in venetic.I need to step it up

>>265806

Oh you're that anon… honestly surprised I didn't think of that when you mentioned the animal skulls.what runes did you put on there anyway?

>>265812

just some random stuff, nothing too important

i'm sorry, don't be disappointed

>>265813

not disappointed more like concerned now when you say it's just "random stuff" do you mean just random symbols and stuff you drew or something you peeled off the Internet?

>>265815

I baked up some things with a bit of symbolism and just threw em on there, i kinda didn't put much thought into it

why are you worried anon?

>>265817

Sigils are basically thoughtforms the way I've read about it And had it explained to me anyway you draw one, and charge it and it is supposed to do what you charged it with. If you make a sigil to cause a bit of chaos and unpredictability and place it downtown dont be surprised if things start to get a bit weird.You may want to ask some of the sigil fags around since I'm really more of a dabbler with a little bit of knowledge on the subject but I suppose since you didn't really charge it with anything it wont do much of anything.

>>265819

I'm a big ol' sigilfag myself and i know all the theory and all that

I just focused a lot more on aesthetics than actually making something targeted, the sigils are only meant to be used as a battery to store will for later use, nothing more.
