I’m thankful for Hermes and travel, and I feel him when I drive, or am at the farmers market.

I’m grateful for Apollo and music, philosophy and how he shines through each rhythm and beat in the music I listen to.

I’m appreciative of Artemis and the independence she brings me, strength and the courage that passes through when standing up for what I believe in. The connection with wildlife and instincts, the empowerment I feel from her as a woman, all of it I owe to her.

The Gods look at us worshippers and smile, knowing they are treasured.

~ 🌷 Positive Affirmations and Reminders! 🌷 ~

- Your craft is on your schedule! You do not have to do things in a specific amount of time. Something that took someone else a week to learn, may take you longer and that is okay!

- Your deities will remain patient and understanding with you as long as you are communicating with them! If you need a break, Tell them. If you do not want to do something or speak to someone, Tell them. Just be respectful and communicate!

- You do not have to do fancy ass rituals every week or whatever. If doing something really simple and basic works for you, Just do it! Rituals can honestly be so draining and tedious!

- You do not have to practice every day! Sometimes life happens and for one reason or another, We can’t/don’t practice every day!

- Trial and error! If something does not work or does not go the way you would like it to, Don’t give up. Figure out what you could change, Apply that knowledge and understanding the next time you do it then see what the results are! Rinse and repeat as many times as you need to!

- Our companions (dogs, cats etc) moods can be affected by energy that is present in our space or by our own energy. If you are having a bad day or something goes wrong in your craft, Be mindful about how it affects your companions. Give them a lot of love and protect them (spiritually) if needed! Our companions can also help with meditation so go to them for extra support if needed! My dog helps me relax and stay positive which helps me meditate because then I can clear my thoughts quicker/easier!

- Take everything you see on TikTok, Discord, Tumblr etc with a pinch of salt. Always fact check and cross reference any information you find on these platforms! Not all creators are harmful but I have seen a fair few promoting things that belong to closed practices, spreading false information, getting their supporters to do spell work/manifestations without consent of others (love spells for example) etc!

- Do not feel bad about not working with entities or deities! For some people, It doesn’t work out for one reason or another and that is nothing to be ashamed of! Do not beat yourself up over it!

~ Thank you for reading ~

A little appreciation for the domains of a deity that don't get much attention/recognition. I'm making this because I do think it would be lovely if the aspects mentioned below got more attention, and additions not mentioned are welcome so long as it's an obscure part of them. This was going to be just a few and then I got carried away and did the main Twelve Olympians

A little love for:

Apollon as the God of Foreigners (the Arcadian friendship's harmony with Hermes being the god of travelers/way-god couldn't be any louder)

Aphrodite as a Goddess of the Arts (anything love-themed falls to her by default)

Ares of Civil Order, Defender, and Of Courage

Artemis as the Goddess of Dancing and equal Leader of the Mousai

Athene as the Goddess of Carpentry, Metalwork, and Sculpting

Demeter as Friend of Peace and Law-Giver

Hephaistos as the one with a delicate touch that creates beautiful works of art (It isn't so much unknown but honestly the thing I love most and not the first thing one thinks of with his talents/image)

Hera as the Skillful Bender of Language, Bender of Oaths and Promises

Hermes, God of Peace/Diplomacy, Divine Protector of All, as well as a God of Poetry and Knowledge (rightfully the other half to Athene)

Hestia of the Earth, Earth Dwelling and Delighting in the Works of Man, The One That Made Buildings

Poseidon of Fertility, the Plant Nurturer, and Holder of the Earth

Zeus of the People, Gracious and Merciful, Of Refuge, Counsellor

Me, first approaching the gods: “Hi, I have a fountain of issues that will constantly make things difficult, I’ve got this 50 cent candle and my undying love for you. 👉🏻👈🏻🥺”

The gods: “Hell yeah.”

#I can’t believe it sometimes #like how are you just a full ass deity and you’re doing your deity thing and then suddenly this little creature comes before you #with a silly trinket and a disastrous complexion and went #👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻#that’s the one #I love them so much and will to the day I die #pagan #paganism #hellenic deities #hellenic devotion #hellenic pagan #hellenism #hellenic polythiest #hellenic community #hellenic gods

You do not need a sign.

For the love of the gods, just pray. You do not need to be called. You do not need to be contacted. Just pray.

Offerings don’t need to be expensive or bought

I’ve noticed throughout the pagan community that there’s a compulsion to associate offerings and their value, with monetary value. Even though so many people on so many platforms have tried their best to bring this to light, I still even find myself questioning if my hymns and natural offerings are enough.

I truly believe that in between religious corruption and capitalism, pagan spaces have been heavily influenced by consumerism: a value that’s so far removed from the origins of our practice. Most of the worshippers in Hellenic polytheism, (and many other pagan practices) are low income! As someone who works two jobs, lives with their working boyfriend AND lives without certain utilities (I have water powered housing), the cost of living is still way too high for the average person.

With limited time, money, and patience, sometimes I just say thank you. Sometimes I just spend some time outside, or find cool leaves and those offerings go to my deities. Pinecones, bottle caps, cute flowers. All of these are real examples of offerings I’ve made.

Using affordable materials has drastically changed my relationship with the Gods… it’s improved by so much! I feel closer, down to earth with these beings, and I’m able to afford my groceries doing so. I sing a hymn in the car or say thank you, and though it doesn’t require much, they appreciate it the same (if not more so)!

May the Gods look down and smile at their worshippers, especially the ones who need them the most.

i think the fastest and most effective prayer to any God in an emergency is just "[insert name], please help me". specifics are good in like, formal situations, but let me tell you: i parked my car in mud which froze overnight (temps in my area dropped from 50 degrees fahrenheit down to about 10 degrees with windchill), and after trying for almost a full hour to get my car unstuck from the mud, i just stared vacantly to the sky and said "Hermes, please help." and wouldn't you know it, about three minutes later my car's wheels somehow managed to gain traction and the frozen mud around them loosened enough to actually allow me to back out.

i have more thoughts on this whole (very good) incident namely involving a tiktok by olympianbutch on invocations (not tagging him because i'm not writing that essay yet), the power of the names of the Gods, and how the Gods are very, very, very good. but it's almost 3am and my brain is potatoes, so we'll post that all some other time :)

for now, i'll give a simple thank You Hermes for getting me unstuck from the mud <3

If you ever feel unsure in your practice, remember that you are keeping Hellenism alive. You. You are. You’re a driving force, and you’re important.

You matter, whether or not you stick with it.

Sometimes I approach my shrines and just sort of stand there. Like, I don't pray, make offerings, or anything. I'll just stand there and look at it. Or sit next to it.

For a while, this made me feel strange and a little guilty, even. But now I look to how I do similarly with my parents. I'll just go and sit quietly with them, or go lean on them. Just take comfort in their presence.

The Gods ARE our divine parents, after all.
