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.

Apollo

[callimara]

He is beauty, he is death, he is healing, he is plague.

A commission of Apollo I got from my bestie @myrthena ! ❤️

Had a dream where there was a museum right beside my house with a giant Apollo statue and I was making plans to go daily. Woke up and was like :(

Whenever I give my gods little random offerings, I feel like a crow bringing something shiny and interesting back to the ones who feed me

As I struggle with my identity, I oftentimes feel like I’m “being a fake” in front of my gods—like I’m not being authentic enough for them when I’m confused. But today I heard lord Apollon say this:

“What makes you think we don’t see you the way that you want us to?”

I adore cleaning my altar and reorganizing it :)

Me, fucking around with dice divination, suddenly getting a feeling: "Am I talking with someone right now?" "Yes" "Am I talking with a deity?" "Yes" "Is it someone in my worship?" "No" "Is it someone I've interacted with?" "Yes" "Can I guess who I'm talking with?" "Yes" "Am I talking to Hermes?" "Yes"

So I switched to tarot because i got another nagging feeling Hermes had something to say outside of yes/no questions. And well He did. So that's fun. Time to figure things out again.

Apollo, oil on canvas (1874) Briton Rivière (British, 1840–1920) debuted this work at the Royal Academy in 1874. The scene illustrates a passage from Euripides describing the Greek god Apollo as a shepherd in the halls of Admetus, where his music draws predators and prey together in peace.

As a specialist in animal painting, Rivière used the mythological narrative to explore the power of art over nature. The composition aligns with the late 19th-century academic tradition, combining naturalistic animal studies with the idealized human form. Loc. Bury Art Museum, United Kingdom. Dim. 113 cm H x 184 cm W (44 1/2 x 72 7/16 in.).

Does anyone have a specific book of Homeric hymns that they would recommend? I’m looking at getting one, but I’m not sure which translation/publisher would be best.

I don’t want to settle for the most popular option if it’s not necessarily the best in terms of translation. Perhaps you know of a version that has more than just Homer’s hymns as well? Please let me know :) ☀️💛

Working outside in the garden, in the sunlight, really does set things right, huh?
