we need to talk about the word “tolerant” because i fuckin hate this word lmfao

an open, accepting, free society should not be “tolerant”

the idea of “tolerance” comes from a worldview of hatred. it comes from a cultural zeitgeist that held hatred for marginalized groups. the two sides of that dichotomy are the crusades, or “hey, maybe we should pretend NOT to want to kill all these people we disagree with”

WE ARE PAST THAT ERA

WE CAN MOVE ONTO

“WHAT THE FUCK, WHY DO YOU WANT TO KILL PEOPLE??”

So, little story, this past weekend I was doing some homework when I heard out of nowhere in my mind the phrase "not everything is going to be the way you want it to be" (I don't remember the exact phrase but it was something along those lines), when I asked myself who had said that, Apollon's name immediately came to my mind and right after that, as funny as it is, Apollon's part in the song "Gods Game" from Epic The Musical in the part his name is spoken played in my mind. I just thought it was so funny. I, at first, thought it was general advice, that I need to embrace unpredictability since it is sometimes difficult for me because I am autistic, but it ended up being a bit of a prediction, after all, I am suffering and will still suffer some changes in my routine and life these times.

Shoutout to the Helpols with disabilities.

Those of us who have anxiety, depression, other mental disabilities and physical disabilities. You guys are absolutely fabulous.

Even with the pain and struggles you work through daily, you still find time to worship. And even on the days you can’t you’re still doing enough. The things you go through is awful some days and yet you guys are still so dedicated and you deserve so much rest and recognition.

The gods will never be mad at you for the days where you’re in so much pain mentally or physically that you can’t worship, or offer things at their altar. They’re proud of you for still being here and working through it all despite the pain it can bring sometimes.

Keep doing you, and remember to take breaks and rest when you need it.

Love you disabled Hellenic polytheists.

Hellenic Polytheist Challenge: Listen to Greek people when we say Hellene is an ethnonym for Greeks, Hellenism and Hellenismos are not names for the Hellenic Polytheist religion and have more meaning beyond that.

Level: Impossible.

[approaching-the-scrungularity-d]

I would first like to spread this around, it seems like important info; but secondly, in all good faith, I would like to ask OP or others who share their opinion --what would be a more respectful term? I understand the harm in flooding out actual Hellene with ethnically non-Greek polytheists, but does the same problem not apply with "Hellenic Polytheist"? Is Hellenic regional, while Hellene/Hellenism/Hellenismos is not? What about Hellenist? Conversely, is Greek polytheist a safer bet, or would it cause confusion around ethnically vs. regionally Greek?

[sag-dab-sar]

Hello, thank you very much for asking!!

It can be hard sometimes to translate between languages but when speaking in English I see "Hellenic" being an adjective that modifies the noun "Polytheism." So a type of polytheism that is Greek in nature.

Most Greeks who are fluent in their language seem to agree that Hellenic Polytheist is indeed the best option. I am not fluent in the language (I'm still confined to the bits I used as a kid) so here are better resources:

Various Definitions — This is a good post to explain the various "hellenic" words we commonly see. Probably the best post I've seen on it.

Two additional posts that would be good reads are this one Link, and also the replies to this one Link

"Greek Polytheist" is a bit tricky because in English Greek is both the word for people "I'm Greek" and the word for things related to Greekness "the Greek bakery." For me, as a Greek American, if you said "I'm a Greek polytheist," I genuinely wouldn't know if you were a Greek person practicing polytheism or practicing polytheism that is of the Greek variety. I've only seen it used as a religious self-identification once, so it's uncommon.

I just wanted to remind everyone:

THE MYTH OF MEDUSA IS A ROMAN MYTH.

In Greek mythology, Medusa was born a gorgon. Poseidon did not do anything to her, neither did Athena.

Please keep that in mind.

Hermes Khthonios guiding lost souls...I like to think it would be comforting to see him help you on your way to the other side.

Artemis who doesn’t hunt animals anymore (humans do it enough) She now walks in clubs looking to hunt the real animal

Athena who donates hundreds of books to local libraries and schools

Apollo who watches all street musicians hoping their talents can get them a little money (He gives more than a little)

Dionysus who watches over everyone’s drinks at the bar making sure they stay safe

Zeus who makes it rain for the couples that just want to frolic and dance and kiss in the rain

Hera who donates to woman’s and SA survivors shelters

Ares who is at the forefront of every protest because those are battles too

Hestia who holds and keeps thousands of secrets so the ones who whispered them into flame don’t have to

Hades who let’s families get one last goodbye to a loved one before they die

Persephone who personally makes sure that the ones taken too early feel safe and secure in the Underworld

Demeter who gives Her best crops to food banks and homeless shelters

Hecate who is a street magician and does actual magical for the kids

Poseidon who finds the best seashells and leaves them on the beach for someone to find and treasure

the Gods aren’t gone they ARE the little things in life

Hi Hi! I'm into manifestation and I'm starting to worship a few of the Greek gods such as Aphrodite, Apollo, and a few others. I was just wondering if I could ask Aphrodite to help me find a partner despite only just starting to work with her? I don't have a dedicated space to her or anything, just a bracelet, an oil, and a journal (I'm living with my dad currently and his family are Christians so I'm trying to be discreet.)

hiyaaa anon !!!

asking Her to help find a partner ? 100% you can ! that's Her entire domain ! it doesn't matter how close your bond with Her is , you're allowed to ask for things so long as you give something in return !

you don't need a dedicated space , don't worry ^_^ i've asked queen hera for a huge favour before and i don't have any space for Her either ! as long as you give offerings , you'll be good . you don't need a space to give those either .

you could dedicate daily journal entries or letters to lady aphrodite ! i'm sure She'd love to hear about your manifestation progress ! hellenism is a religion of kharis , that give-and-take reciprocity bond . anything can be an offering . a prayer , a food , a bracelet , a journal entry , even acts can be offerings ! you could do acts of self love for Her , put on some makeup if that's your thing , take a shower for Her , etc !

i'm living with my muslim family so don't worry i understand the need to be discreet . to be discreet , i'd suggest devotional acts the most ! here's one list of devotional acts for Her , aside from the ones i've already mentioned !

i hope this helps , good luck !!
