Restful Sleep

Hypnos, bright-winged bringer of blessed sleep, son of misty-eyed Nyx of the sooty night, I call to you to grant me your favor. In sunless Erebos you make your home, O Hypnos; each eventide you follow in Night’s wake, fleet of foot, garlanded in blood-red poppies, their sweet scent a balm to those who seek your gift. Hypnos, granter of the peace of a night’s oblivion, soft-spoken god in whose gentle arms men lie in repose, I pray to you, deliver me into soothing slumber.

I use resources, I do not own the info, and most deep dives have UPG (that I use in my work.) And I only take some information from sources. I am 14, this is my hobby, I am learning but I spent many hours and days on this, and I am always open to criticism. I have been doing worship for 5 years. Please know you can use the info, I do not sue, but I will take action if this work is used without permission and not put as a resource if used in any work. without permisson and not put as a resource if used in any work, for the public.
