in reverence of the Theoi and the Buddha Dharma — meet Wolfe !
|| they/them || 23 || grecobuddhist ||
this blog exists because i enjoy sharing my practice and find interacting with others to be enriching! i worship many divinities, though i consider myself a full-fledged devotee to Zeus-Helios, Apollon, Selene, and Guan Yin. above all, my practice is centered on Siddhartha Buddha’s Dharma. if you’re intrigued, i explain/explore this syncretism more on my blog! all those who come in good faith are welcome. Namo Buddhaya 💞

i’m a lay buddhist and hellenic polytheist (bodhi-devotee! get it?), aka grecobuddhist! to me, that means viewing the gods as powerful & ancient forces that can be worshipped and called upon, but cannot fully liberate us from suffering. my true refuge is the buddha and dharma, and my salvation is the middle way. the Theoi aid in and enrich my life, but not like the teachings of the Buddha do.
i utilize this blog as a journal (with the perk of community!) i mainly post/reblog musings about my faiths, altar & offering pictures, UPG + historical facts surrounding hellenic polytheism and greco buddhism, and related art! i love having discussions. you can filter through my blog with my tag guide below :)
religion aside, i have an AMAZING wife who i live in awe of every day! i work as a massage therapist. my favorite hobby is weightlifting/powerlifting followed by writing. my unironic gender identity is dyke, but you can reference me as butch or masc if that’s more comfortable! (it can’t be understated that the term ‘dyke’ was coined and championed by the black american community, as is the case for many pivotal aspects of queer culture. any racism is intolerable, but anti-blackness in the queer community in light of this fact is especially heinous. unpack it and put it to rest.) i have a crested gecko named banana bread, poodle named bee, and a fursona named neptune - @starseeker-neptune

Hello! I was wondering, do you have any other Buddhist blogs on here that'd you recommend? a weird amount of the Buddhist blogs here seem either very secular Buddhist leaning or just spread a lot of misinformation ):
you're right, there are not a lot of buddhists on here! this site is western dominated (which i am part of), and the western view of buddhism often veers secular + can tend to dismiss the ‘mystical’ aspects. i only have a handful of blogs to give you, and i'm not sure if this is what youre looking for.
apologies to anyone who doesn't like being tagged! @under-olympos-bodhi-tree @buddhadharmastudyandpractice (theres also a tumblr community with the same name) @mandyluvsu @commonplacebuddhism @officialbuddhistposts @meanbuddhist
aha this is really random but your bird post got me thinking about crows and ravens and how they form reciprocal relationships with humans. That got me thinking, isn’t that kinda like kharis lol. Are we just crows giving the gods shiny things we find in exchange? XD
this is literally so adorable to think about. in the grand scheme of things we are all just spirits of various bodies (or lack-thereof) bonding with each other. every interaction reflects the universe loving and getting to know itself 💞
i had the strong urge to check the mail before my wife left for work, and there were TWO newborn baby birds in the driveway. they didn’t even have feathers yet! so so young. they were both uninjured. we found the nest and put them back in. i suspect mama rejected them and placed them outside of the nest, based on how far they were from it. i’ve been praying to Artemis that she watches over the babies and that mama doesn’t reject them again. please Artemis, may mama take care of those babies! and praise Apollon for the insight to go outside and see them before my wife left for work.
i’ll check the nest after work and we’ll find them and take them to a rescue if mama removes them again. :))) wish the birdies luck!
MAMA WAS SEEN FEEDING HER BABIES! we got home from work and checked to see all three little ones (the two we found + one that never left the nest) safe and sound. yay!!! here’s some pictures we took of the feathered hooligans before we put them back in their nest
it’s up to nature to handle the rest! (we will be keeping an eye out for if they prematurely leave the nest again but hopefully they’ll stay put). praise to Artemis Soteria, guardian of mothers, mother of the wilderness! may you guide mama bird to take great care of her little ones. i gotta offer something to her for sure.
i really appreciate the work you put into all these awesome moodboards ☺️ can i request an apollo moodboard about creativity please! and thank you very much

Hey, I'd really like to see a Hestia moodboard, she was my first goddess and is the one who I have the most connection with, still it's very hard to find anything about her
I really love Hestia and much appreciate her as a goddess
Anyway, thanks for reading and for what you already have been doing, I really like your work and it's honestly beautiful
When you step into sunlight, you honor Apollo. When you admire the moon, you honor Artemis. When you admire cloud shapes, you honor Hera. When you smell petrichor, you honor Zeus. When you laugh at a joke, you honor Hermes. When your body twitches to dance at a particularly upbeat music, you honor Dinoysus. When you enjoy the first bite of your breakfast, you honor Demeter. When you choose your peace over any conflict, you honor Athena. When you warm yourself up by sheltering yourself in blanket, you honor Hestia. When you listen to Ocean sounds, you honor Poseidon. When you smell flowers, you honor Persephone. When you admire the coolness of first day of Autumn, you honor Hades. When you wear your favourite jewellery, you honor Hephaestus. When you smile, you honor Aphrodite. When you exercise, you honor Ares. When you light a torch in a dark room, you honor Hekate.
Your body is a shrine to Gods, your being an act of devotion for them. You, by yourself, are enough for them.
o muse, i sing of the son of cronos, almighty king zeus,
husband of white armed queen hera, bearer of the aegis,
gracious host and king of xenia, hear my praise and prayer!
jovial king, you grace the earth with your storms,
each crack of thunder one of your hearty laughs,
each bolt of lightning thrown by your strong arms.
you protect the polis and the household from evil,
wise and powerful, you drive away hurt and harm.
you, friendly king, remind me to be humble and kind,
warm and welcome to strangers, be graceful to others,
just as you are to mortals and immortals alike.
almighty zeus, i ask of you to grant me strength,
kindness, and wisdom to help myself and others.
i ask of you to watch over me and keep me safe,
protect me and keep away pain and misery.
king zeus, almighty lord and husband of lovely hera,
thank you for hearing my praise and prayer!
until i sing of you again another time!
