I love your deep dives. Like actually. I do need to ask something of you. You seem to bare a lot of knowledge for your age (respectfully and lovingly meant, non weird way) but do you maybe have some advice? I've been having issues. I've been worshipping apollo and aphrodite now but sometimes I have issues believing the greek gods actually exist and it hurts to even type this bc it sounds like I disrespect apollo or aphrodite. I don't know what to do. If you do not want to answer, please don't. You are not obligated to. Then I also have another question, if you do wanna answer, I don't think aphrodite is it for me, but I do learn how to love and I do want to love properly cause of her, but I don't know if she fits me, her candle flame goes up and then down like it's going to the underworld or some lol (she doesn't have a seperate altar so maybe cause of that) I'm curious to your reaction/response if you decide to answer. Again, don't if you don't want to. (Most questions are from me btw) also again, LOVE YOUR DEEPDIVES.

I know the gods exist, and I’ve heard them and I’ve talked to some of them, and I've channeled, (via pegeleum or talking or just randomly channel ((they say something I look in awe)) I've felt some of their touch before and I've met some them in dreams, I've worshiped the gods for years, I know they're real, it's insane not to think so. “Why would millions worship gods that are fake?” That's what I ask myself, and all answers say they are real, because why would my neighbor worship god if they're fake, but why would my other neighbor worship satan, or my friend worship Apollo and Loki, it's because they are real. the gods don't have to do anything to show us, I think that real devotion is truly and fully thinking they're real, not some “they're gonna come down from the heavens and they do live on a mountain!”, you know they're not gonna, But I always keep in mind they can't go against physics tho, so when I see a candle go crazy I don't go “Oh gosh they're mad” I think “fuck I forgot to trim it” because ur gonna get phycosis from thinking that, I don't believe personally that the gods made physics exist, but I wasn't there when it was created, I've never been where it was, and I don't care, I think the gods don't care about offerings and devotion more than they care that you believe in them, I believe in them because it's in my blood, one of my names means follower, I've doubted them but, even if I don't want too I know they're there and I know I cannot deny it because of my experiences and wisdom, and trust me I've had times I don't want to. I can't tell you to believe me because I sound crazy, and I am crazy, I see hallucinations and I have some disorders (I will not be saying) and I still can tell between the gods and hallucinations and I just know, and I know that ur not gonna hear Apollo say “yippee!” in the middle of the night right next to ur shoulder in a night bathroom, but you are gonna hear him play the piano or simply say something that you will remember for years, The gods give you grace, I don't know how the gods still put up with me, but it's probably because they know, its chemicals and I have no choice to act that way because it's what I've been taught. I'm not gonna tell u that everything u hear is the gods, but trust once you hear, u know. The gods don't care if u doubt them, they don't care if u insult them, they care if u try to learn and understand, they care about growth and the end, not the beginning. And I've learned when I don't see aura on an altar I can go ask or I can wait, I usually wait because if I get confirmation, I know they're gonna come around, but I've had that fail on me before. So never think the gods are gonna hate u truly, Loki doesn't like me, but I think if he saw me stabbed she’d try to help, or if I was throwing up I think Odin would hold my hair. I feel like the best thing to do is just say it to them if you have doubts, I've had to say some nasty things and some embarrassing things, but I don't think when I sit down with them they gonna be mad I said it, they probably gonna be mad I did not say earlier or the way I worded it. We're humans, and the gods know, they know you have no choice sometimes, but don't expect them to be there all the time, I've had hermes ‘leave’ me for a year randomly, but I promise you he was just probably hiding, he probably had a plan. Apollo has seen people disemboweled and many other things, he's a doctor, and I try to understand him, along with Aphrodite, but just like we can't always offer to the gods, the gods can't always help and be there. And a person can never love ‘properly’, and I think Aphrodite's literal saying is that she can help u; Aphrodite goddess of many things, sorrow, widows, blood, stalking, love, etc. She can't stop them from happening or make u understand, but I think u need to try to understand, she can only send experiences, and she's not gonna tell u in dreams, etc, If u feel like ur disconnected redo the alter, move things around. U can only label love if u restrict it, so love freely.

I also read here that apollo likes bay laurel???

he does like bay laurels, I’m only 13 and I’m barely passing with grammerly so I’m sorry for typos….😭🙏

[stalkerofthegods]

Just asking but do you put everything in your deep dives or is it more "basic information, easy to understand" kinda? Like for example with the crystals, do you put everything or easy to obtain? For example with apollo.

I put everything, he doesn’t really care if it’s hard to obtain or anything, he just appreciates the effort, so don’t worry if u can get some stuff

[stalkerofthegods]

I love your honest answer. Thank you. Also thank you for the pretty fucking rock answer lmao (I was both) I really appreciate it. You're great. Also, to be sure, so your stuff can be accurate bc you've searched it and that kind of stuff, but it might not be? I don't understand. I apologize. I'm not good at messages. (I'm a bit obvlious, we won't go into that lmao)

Yeah, I don't label stuff as UPG as I used to, but some people say Hypnos likes chocolate back then in ancient times they didn't have that so they did not offer it, but I include actual information like his animal is a sheep, does that sum it up?

[stalkerofthegods]

Yo. Can u maybe give us some hellenic polytheism books? 🤔

You can check my sites on deep dives but read Trojan War, and the Illiad, and personally, I would read hymns

#the gods #hellenic devotion #hellenic polytheism #hellenic worship #greek gods

[stalkerofthegods]

So in some of the deity deepdives I couldn't find offerings but I did see: what to put on the altar. Is that the same thing as offerings? And are you also allowed to put beautiful pretty ass stones that fits them?

yes! You can put pretty ass rocks, but alter stuff is permanent (ex-statues, fake flowers), and offerings can be thrown away/eaten, in old deep dives I think I might've done that, I'll have to update that!

[stalkerofthegods]

would u say your stuff is accurate? so your deep dives, and may i ask where you did your research? not meant rudely, just genuinely curious, i'm using your deep dives and stuff, loki, aphrodite and apollo

Hey, I'm gonna be genuine, no my stuff isn't entirely accurate, I do use books, interviews, and temple ruins/archeology in mostly every single deep dive and my own experiences, but I use other materials from my community, and others, I wouldn't site me on a textbook but I do include UPG and actual fact base stuff. So you can use my deep dives for anything really, pin it on ur, wall! On a T-shirt! Just credit me, please. Everything I do and get my stuff from is cited, but please know that doesn't mean my stuff isn't true, I know what Aphrodite likes/hates (mostly!) because I know her and research her, you can do ur own research, and I recommend it, I do research as an offering.

[stalkerofthegods]

Hey. Could you make cheat sheets? Like with pictures too. Also, I'm on phone and I cannot see where you've put your information about deities. I only see them when I scroll. Where can I find it? 🤔

You'll have to scroll because I have no clue how to do master posts. I can't do photos because I would have to site all the images and that's too much on my plate, maybe when I reach more people. My deep dives are cheat sheets, I have, what I've done on my pin about me/rules. I post and do everything on my phone, and I can see it well, you just have to scroll slowly, and the titles are in bold. I'll try to do a master sheet soon.

I think this is something a lot of Luciferians lowkey struggle with and isn’t talked about enough.

So we all know Lucifer is sexy, right? Like he’s gorgeous and exudes pure sensual energy.

This is just a friendly reminder that you’re not doing anything wrong if you feel a slight attraction towards him when he’s around. Having borderline erotic or sexual thoughts about Lucifer isn’t offensive to him, he understands where it comes from and he gets it. He knows your intentions, even if you can’t control those thoughts or feelings. He isn’t going to get mad at you for succumbing to that energy, you are human after all. Sexually charged dreams involving him are very common after becoming initiated or patroned. I literally just had one last night lol.

I know that can be a bit scary to new devotees, minors, or people with any kind of sexual trauma. Just remember that it’s totally normal. You’re not gross and you’re not doing anything wrong. He’s definitely not going to get mad at you for it. Lucifer is a God of sex, free love and eroticism. He is a sexy mf. He’s a great aid to anyone dealing with any conflicts around their sexuality or gender, and he understands the conflicts that may come with having sexual urges while being asexual or aromantic. Arousal doesn’t automatically = a real desire to have a sexual or romantic relationship or experience, and Lucifer knows this well.

If you’ve found yourself lusting after him in any way, please just don’t harbour any guilt or shame towards yourself for it. He understands.

Sexualizing deities in a disrespectful or fetishizing way is definitely not okay, but you don’t have to beat yourself up if that isn’t your intention. We’re weird creatures, sometimes we feel things beyond our control and that’s okay.

Apollo feels like being smeared in charcoal and paint, taking a deep breath and smelling the oil paint and solvent lingering in the air.

Hestia feels like the end of a college party, when everyone is lying together, slowly sobering up and talking about their hometowns.

Aphrodite feels like taking off your makeup after a long day and staring in the bathroom mirror, truly seeing yourself for the first time in a while.

Hermes feels like people watching on the bus, overhearing all the stories of people you will never meet.

Eros feels like loving something so fiercely, with so much passion, that you don't think you can live without it.

Hypnos feels like waking up from a dream that changed your view of the world, for the better.

Artemis feels like the girls you meet at parties who make sure you have a safe ride home.

Hephestus feels like spending hours meticulously building, with a clear vision in mind, but no proper measurements.

Hades feels like the hot embers burning bright on a fire that is slowly dwindling.

Dionysus feels like teaching young actors the ritualistic traditions of a theatre.

Ares feels like protesters fighting for change with unwavering strength.

Poseidon feels like learning about challengers deep for the first time and feeling yourself get entranced by the duality of the ocean.

I do understand Athena may not be in everyone's description of ‘awesome sauce’, but they are right, she deserves respect. Athena was commonly worshiped with Aphrodite and many other gods/goddesses, along with Ares (surprising I know), Athena has helped me in many ways and helped my family, I simply cannot stand people shaping her from myths that were made so long ago. She is a goddess, not human, she is not evil nor great, but I believe she deserves respect, and kindness.

Sorry for my non-regular post. Please correct me if needed about the info.

Due to something I had shared recently, I do want to state that Athena is often a very kind, compassionate goddess. I don't want to give the idea that you can't rely on Athena or that her standards are much higher than anyone could feasibly achieve. I am no hero. I am no great soldier of old. Yet Athena stands by me anyway. She assured me that I don't need to be a "hero" to have value. You don't need to be some "great legend" to catch her eye or win her favor. She is not scrutinous. She is not filled with disdain upon the sight of a person who doesn't fit the within "the norm". She is a great goddess, and her good traits don't overshadow any other deity's.

I dislike the idea of comparing gods or pinning them against each other, so I just wanted to make these things clear.
