Science is spiritual!

Learning how the world works doesn’t strip it of magic, it reveals even more of it. The more I understand the universe, the more sacred it feels.

[benedictusadiis]

I love being Hellenic polytheist like anything is devotional act if you try hard enough

Cooking? Hestia

Go a walk? Hermes

Stop for a bit in nature? Demeter AND Artemis, double worship

Open the curtains and let some sun into your room? Apollo

Read a book/study? Athena

Work out? Ares

Do your makeup/hair? Aphrodite

Have a good time with friends? Dionysus

Spend time with family? Hera

You can worship the gods by doing everyday tasks and just looking after yourself, all they want is to see you happy.

Y’all I’m being so serious when I say this: go to the library for witchcraft reasons.

You can usually find books on witchcraft, yes, but there’s also field guides on local foraging and wildlife, cookbooks, books that teach you how to craft and DIY, books about environmental protection and stewardship, books on how to use herbs medicinally, books about other religions, cultures, and spiritual practices. My favorite local library even has a seed swapping program and fantastic resources to research your own family history!

Go to the library for witchcraft. Please. :) <3

This is your annual reminder that “The 7 Pillars of Hellenic Polytheism” were not made in antiquity. They hold no true binding to Hellenic Polytheism as a religion as these Pillars were not followed in Ancient Greece—Or at any time until the last decade or so

They are, of course, nice to have in mind, and everyone should be kind and humble when necessary, but I’m honestly kind of tired of hearing that these Pillars are “foundational” to the religion or included in “Helpol basics” posts

A man named Timothy Jay Alexander initially created these Pillars, and while he took inspiration from Ancient Greek philosophers, he very much was not one himself

He’s known to be intolerant of Revivalist views of Hellenic Polytheism, and because of his strict Recon perspective, believes that queer, ill and disabled people cannot or should not be allowed to hold the title of Priestx (link)

You are allowed to hold yourself to standards like the Pillars, but acting as though they are actual rules of Hellenic Polytheism, or, Gods forbid, pushing them on others, is so disheartening to see

Just because something has a Greek name, doesn’t automatically make it authentically Helpol or from antiquity

The closest thing from antiquity that we have like the Pillars are the Delphic Maxims, honestly

Anyway. Do you what you like, but this is just some information for those of you who are unaware

A Prayer to Zeus-Ktesios

I greet you, highest of gods Who we call the averter of evil, strength bringing watcher Zeus Ktesios, and all your titles beside that name you as a god of the people Meilichios, Herkeios You who is honored often as leader, protector, king Who knows well the troubles of mankind And gives good guidance and aid to your faithful It is in your name that I make offerings for the wellkeeping of my house For the protection of all that belongs to me For the promise of future fortunes You whose name I pray from the front of my house to the back Who I call to over the food in my pantry, over the place where I rest Hear me and place your grace on me Keep safe all that is mine and may be mine Let the smoke I burn to you carry my petitions Find them with pleasure, and ask of me more that I may give

[bodhi-devotee]

the greatest among the gods, the fulfiller who whispers words of wisdom! praise Zeus, “who knows well the troubles of mankind.”
