There came a day when there were two mortals, one beloved by Dyonisus and another by Hermes, who fell in love.
They decided that, when they were wed, they wanted to both be united in worship of the same deity. However, they could not find a fair way to decide which.
So, on their wedding day, they communed with their gods. They did this by consuming a quite astonishing amount of mind-altering substances.
(This went largely unremarked upon by the guests of their tastefully rustic ceremony, as they did so during the photos. Thus, everyone was busy with Instagram and/or fistfighting that one uncle who had really had it coming.)
Being quite thoroughly stoned - to the degree that they were not only *out* of their gourds but that if you asked the gourds about them then the gourds would have denied them three times - their consciousnesses drifted up into the firmament to walk upon Olympus.
Hermes and Dyonisus agreed that they would settle this in a game of poker.
The couple nodded and smiled beatifically, happy to be valued so highly as to be chips in a cosmic game (also, snacks were provided, which was a real win).
The two deities locked eyes over the poker table, their two drugged up devotees between them.
"Well, I think we can agree on one thing." Said Hermes, stuffing cards up his sleeves.
"Oh yes." replied Dionysus, as he spiked Hermes' ambrosia.
"The stakes have never been higher."

Advice for beginner Hellenists
This isn't necessarily a post where I include a list of Gods, epithets, resources, and offerings for said Gods, but rather, hopefully soothing the worries of those of us who are starting the journey into the religion. As someone who was once in a religion that made other religions sound like something absolutely terrifying, my journey into Hellenism was once which was also... pretty terrifying, and this fear was mostly just from my own mind.
Anyways, my list of Advice:
You can literally just start praying. If you want to get more formal, you can absolutely get more formal, but you very much don't have to. I've definitely had my first prayers to some Gods be "hello, [God or Goddess's name], I want to worship You! Please lead me in my journey. Thanks!" I can promise you, the Gods are much kinder and more understanding than any of us fully know.
You can also just start worshiping in general. I feel like I've seen on occasion people worried about the Gods not "calling" to them. This is definitely not something that needs to happen pre-worship. If you find them interesting enough to pray to, then that in and of itself is enough.
In a similar vein, I wouldn't be too concerned about the idea of "signs". I feel like there's a tendency for folks to be incredibly worried about everything when first starting out - the behavior of a candle, the sighting of an animal, a strange dream, all can suddenly seem to take on jarring significance. But I can promise you, the Gods don't constantly give out signs, and frequently, these strange occurrences can be attributed to the mundane. When something comes from the Gods, you will know, trust me!
You don't have to worry too much about the idea of cleanliness, be it spiritual or physical. Khernips are cool, and I'd definitely recommend integrating them into your practice sooner or later. Hygiene is cool too! But if I'm being honest, we in the modern day are far more physically clean, and a lot less likely to regularly encounter the type of pollution that would have been encountered in ancient Greece.
The Gods will be at varying distances over the course of your worship. Sometimes, They will feel close, joyfully, burningly so. And sometimes, They will feel far, and prayers may even feel a bit futile. Both of those are perfectly okay, and neither of those will be permanent.
And, once again in a similar vein, you will likely not find yourself having constant, close mystical experiences with the Gods (i.e., conversations, visions, etc.). These experiences are rare and far between, and I would advise that you not make them a central part of your worship. They will come when the Gods deem you're ready for them, and you definitely won't be expecting it. Focus on the little things!
My final thing (for now) is that you also shouldn't put undue pressure on yourself to be doing some sort of big offering to the Gods. If that's what you can afford, that's great! But if not, fresh water, a small wildflower that you came across and picked*, or a small bit of a meal also count as a good offering!
And with that, my (much longer than I was previously planning on) list of things for beginners to keep in mind! A lot of this list is made up of things which I picked up along the way, and a lot of it is also made from my own personal hindsight being 20/20. I hope this is helpful to someone, and that it maybe soothes some of the (incredibly common) worries which so often accompany those who are venturing into the world of Hellenic polytheism!

Of course Dionysus knows that Apollo’s “old friends” are in actuality new friends. He’s just trying to help out his big brother and keep Zeus from realizing

Ares with wings of night
Tumblr media
In the idea, everything was drawn much better, but I didn’t have enough skill for it (and a stylus, it’s inconvenient to draw with a finger)
My headcanon is that Ares has wings, the legacy of wing genetics was passed on to him from his father Zeus, and originates from the chthonic nature, that is, the more ancient creatures of the underworld.
The gods endure all wounds and illnesses in the same painful and symptomatic manner as people, only they cannot end their suffering in the arms of death, so it is logical that many of the immortals try Avoid pain. Except for Ares. in the heat of battle, he fights on equal terms with people in terms of suffering, so in the respites, like everyone else, there is minimal quick dressing of wounds.(Wings are hidden from view.by the way, these are the wings of the Crow))
Aaand, I have a request - I'm tired of the background, it seems to me unsuccessful, so if you want to decorate it in your own way, write to me in private messages

AU where Mr. D claiming to be Percy’s dad accidentally counts as Claiming according to Greek god law or whatever and now all the other gods legitimacy believe Percy is his son, but if Mr. D corrects it, he has to explain to Zeus why he pretended he was Percy’s dad so now he’s like “YEP ol’ Perry Johansson is MY child wowie just look at the little fry, you have your mother’s eyes. Please stop standing next to water or you will blow my cover”
Meanwhile Poseidon is just standing off to the side like “how on earth did I dodge THAT bullet”
