Echoes Of Olympus @echoesofolympus - Tumblr Blog

Hello. This will act as both my introduction and master list of my posts.

My now main blog is @templeof-thetheoi , but I am forced to follow and like from this account

Hello, everyone. My name is Echo. I am a Hellenic polytheist and strive to teach people on Hellenic polytheism in hopes of catching a few people’s eyes. I am open to questions, and you can ask them via the comments or my q&a button thing on my profile. I am also on TikTok with the label ‘echoes_of_olympus_’

I use He/Him pronouns, and have been a Hellenic polytheist for almost a year now.

I currently worship ; Apollo, Aphrodite, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Gaea, Selene, Helios, Morpheus, Zeus, Hera, Amphitrite, Poseidon, Hermes, Dionysus, Hestia, and a few others.

I am a Hypnos devotee and currently working to become a Dionysus devotee.

I am also looking into worshipping Persephone.

Sometimes offerings can look like devoting acts to the gods

Sometimes offerings can look like just giving the gods a simple glass of water

Sometimes offerings can look like making things in honour of the gods

Sometimes offerings can look like giving the gods cool rocks you find

Offerings don’t have to be big or expensive to be good offerings, it’s the thought that is most important

Why I hate the ‘keyboard method’; A rant

I am going to start this by saying I do not hate anyone who does use this method, this is just my opinion.

There is something so beautiful about having altars in your home, especially in your room. There is something so lovely about coming home after a long day and going to my room and being able to spend time with Aphrodite and the other deities that I worship. There is something so lovingly about having lady Aphrodite be the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing I see at night.

A hymn to lord Dionysus

Homeric Hymn 26 to Dionysus :

"I begin to sing of Dionysos ivy-crowned (kissokomes) the loud-crying (eribromos), splendid son of Zeus and glorious Semele. The rich-haired Nymphai (Nymphs) received him in their bosoms from the lord his father and fostered and nurtured him carefully in the dells of Nysa, where by the will of his father he grew up in a sweet-smelling cave, being reckoned among the immortals. But when the goddesses had brought him up, a god oft hymned, then began he to wander continually through the woody coombes, thickly wreathed with ivy and laurel. And the Nymphai followed in his train with him for their leader; and the boundless forest was filled with their outcry. And so hail to you, Dionysos god of abundant clusters (polystaphylos)! Grant that we may come again rejoicing to this season, and from that season onwards for many a year."

A Hymn to lady Aphrodite

Homeric Hymn 6 to Aphrodite :

"I will sing of stately Aphrodite, gold-crowned and beautiful, whose dominion is the walled cities of all sea-set Kypros (Cyprus). There the moist breath of Zephyros the western wind wafted her over the waves of the loud-moaning sea in soft foam, ad there the gold-filleted Horai (Horae, Seasons) welcomed her joyously. [The story of the birth of Aphrodite follows.] . . .

Hail, sweetly-winning, coy-eyed goddess! Grant that I may gain the victory in this contest, and order you my song. And now I will remember you and another song also."

A message to newer Hellenic polytheists;

The gods do not hate you.

They are not going to hate you if you can’t pray every day.

They are not going to hate you if you can’t make offerings every day.

They are not going to hate you if you can’t make an altar for them.

They are not going to hate you if you do not dedicate every single thing you do to them.

They are not going to hate you if you do not light their candles every day.

They are not going to hate you if you step away from your practice for whatever reason.

You can breathe, the gods do not and will not hate you for being human.

The gods are everywhere;
