Khaire!

My name is Dyas, and welcome to my humble abode! I converted from atheism to hellenic polytheism last year - I'll be sharing my experiences with the gods here and reblogging anything I think is interesting or helpful :)

Please keep in mind that this is a religious blog, not RP or fandom!

• Twenties, they/them

• I'm a worshipper of Lord Apollo, Lord Hermes, Lord Hypnos, Lady Aphrodite, Lady Artemis and Lady Athena.

• I'm still newish to hellenic polytheism - I started in April 2025! I'm always learning :)

• I'm many things - a reader, writer, car guy, certified nerd, and most of all a history lover - the latter of which being where I discovered this wonderful community, of course

• I like to talk! I'm always open to talking to new people and making some friends :) please remember that I am an adult, and if talking to others I'd prefer you be 18+ please!

maybe this is just coming from me as a storyteller and reader, but nothing moves me more than the sibling relationships amongst the Theoi.

i love Apollo and Artemis. the sun and the moon. the archer and the huntress. the musician and the dancer. a pair where one could never be without the other.

and similarly, i love Hypnos and Thanatos. the brothers of sleep, eternal or otherwise. both there for people resting and at rest, guiding people into that realm beyond consciousness. two sides of the same coin.

i just find these relationships and the ways in which they're intertwined with each other beautiful. may their light shine on us in the times when we need a little bit of both

Prayer to Selene to Greet the Moon

Selene, white-armed mistress of the shining moon, the silver crescent crowns your ebon hair; cloaked in darkness you cross the cold night sky, O goddess. To you, O Selene, I offer my greeting, my praise, and my thanks for your many gifts.

Not everyone knows about my GDrive with 100+ PDFs about ancient Greek Religion, but now you do. I hope it's helpful!

Hermes offering, because I am stuck somewhere, and have no way of getting home.

Translation of the Hymn:

Listen to me, O, Hermes, of Zeus a messenger and son of Maia; for you are victorious and president of the games of men.

Gracious minister, and astute killer of Argus, with your winged sandals, from the gods you prophesize to us.

He who loves exercises, trickery, and schemes, interpret of all, source of profit and relief.

He who holds in his palms the weapon of peace and in luck's transit.

Fortunate Corinthian and supplier of discourse, who helps mortals that worship Him in need, terrible weapon of tongue and Guide of our paths, listen to my prayer and concede a noble and good ending to life, in chosen words, and memorable workings.

a reminder from an Aphrodite devotee ♡

you do not have to be ‘beautiful’ to deserve love.

you do not have to be healed to deserve love.

you do not have to be productive to deserve love.

you do not have to be successful to deserve love.

you do not have to become someone else before you are worthy of love.

you do not have to earn kindness or care.

you are already worthy of those things.

you always have been. ♡

Hiking with Gaia 🌿

I'm on vacation with family, and we went to a state park. A few of us went on a hike through the woods, and I trailed a little behind in the back so I could offer my respects and admirations to Gaia and the nymphs inhabiting said forest

I poured a couple libations from my water bottle out for Gaia and the nymphs and said some quiet prayers

Happy 🌈PRIDE🌈 to these two and their bullshit

Small-batch Deity Ointments

Hello!! I make small-batch deity ointments which can be used for ritual, trance, daily connection (like applying a devotional perfume), and anointing the self, candles, and other ritual items. I currently have stock of my Ointment of Bast and Hekate's Ointment.

Ointment of Bast contains calendula, blue lotus, jojoba oil, frankincense, and beeswax. Ideal for those curious about or worshipping Bast, and for Kemetic pagans / polytheists who are drawn to this scent profile! I made this after Bast because of my devotional relationship with her but also because she is a Lady of Perfumes and Ointments. In Ancient Egypt, oils and ointments were often used for hygiene, beauty, and religious purposes.

Hekate's Ointment contains hyssop, mugwort, eyebright, rosemary, jojoba oil, and beeswax. Ideal for those curious or worshipping Hekate, and any witches as well! Hekate is a goddess I serve in devotion and service and I think ointments fit her perfectly as a goddess of pharmakeia.

I like using ointments over oils as ointments are easier to store, apply, and are typically described as being more sensory friendly!

You can find these ointments at my Etsy or Kofi! DM me if you have any questions!

I think I've found myself a neat little trick for low level worship :)

I've had it a few times now where I feel very spiritual. But I think I have some flavour of executive dysfunction because, like many things in my life, I find it very difficult to act upon it. Even if I do manage to get up and do something about it, I never know what to do. Do I pray? Who am I meant to pray to when the spiritual feeling is so general?

Funnily enough, this worked for me last night when I was feeling quite the opposite. I'd been feeling disconnected from the theoi, and I was looking for something to do that could reopen that connection a little bit. I remembered someone saying they did a lot of research, and I figured well, I've been neglecting it a bit so let's do that.

And it worked??? I did some research on Lady Aphrodite for almost an hour and that was enough to not feel so far from the gods anymore?? It was so nice to have that little bit of connection reinstated, and to get something done that I knew I needed to anyway.

So yeah. Research if you don't know what to do. Sometimes it seems like that's enough :)

praise apollo, patron of arts. praise apollo font of inspiration. praise apollo the healer, for the act of artistic creation is soothing and healing.

praise athena and hephaestus of skillful hands. praise you gods of hand-crafted art, of raw materials taking shape. praise you steadfast gods, who bring focus, who see each project to its end.

praise you gods who shape offerings; without you there would be no hymns sung or votives given.

[carissimuspuer]

Happy pride month and remember that the Gods don't love you 'in spite' of your queerness, but that they love you wholly, including it.

Don't give up and keep fighting - however that looks like to you - we need to fight for ourselves and others more than ever. I love you all <3

The sea is a temple. The woods are a temple. Your own bedroom is a temple. The world is imbued with the spiritual. Worship is an act, not a place, and it can happen spontaneously, in reaction to the beauty of a moment.

[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.
