Devotional acts? Nah bro, im doing emotional acts.
Crying over how much I love my gf as an emotional act to Aphrodite
Rapid messaging my friends about my many interests as an emotional act to Hermes
Letting myself laugh a little when I’m singing as an emotional act to Apollon

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.

A reminder that feeling compelled to begin worshipping/researching a god is also a sign and you don’t need to see some major sign in order to begin worshipping!
I began worshipping Lord Apollon because I was interested in him for some reason, and that’s led me to many years of researching/worshipping him! He never came to me through animal symbolism or anything major/visible but my worship of him is something that feels so right, even when I have a drought and struggle to actively worship, I never feel too worried or uncomfortable to return to normal because he is my god and I felt and still feel like I was meant to worship him
The idea that you need to see physical signs in order to begin worshipping/building a relationship with a god is ridiculous and should never stop you! Think about all the other gods you don’t feel compelled to worship and compare it to those that you do, and if you want to begin worshipping loads of gods, then go for it! There’s no right or wrong way to begin worship and only you know what’s the right thing for yourself

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.

even if you can't feel your deities, they are still here, and they still love you.

Take things with humor, and do so genuinely.
You're allowed to drop things while handling your altar. It's okay if your throat makes that weird air sound in the middle of your silent meditation. You're allowed to do that one step in your ritual you keep nearly forgetting a little out of order.
No one is going to come scold you because it went a little wrong. Smile about it. Maybe imagine someone on the receiving end smiling a little bit, too.

Things I Started Seeing Differently After Becoming A Hellenic Polytheist
Ants: instead of getting itchy from the insects, I smile and call them Myrmidons.
Spiders: still not a huge fan of creepy-crawlies, but at least I know it's just Arachne's kin.
Nudity: I've always been comfortable with it, but it's simply the true figure and form. all bodies are beautiful.
Kindness: closest thing to complete godliness as can be done.
Rain: Zeus' blessing upon our flora and fauna.
Trees: before pulling twigs off to use, I thank the dryads for their care.
