Hello worshippers!
Hello worshippers !
Now that my crisis is far away (I hope), I am determined to decorate my bedroom with objects which remembered the gods (I don't know if it's clear).
SO I already have statuettes of the Olympians and Hades, Persephone and Hestia.
I have searched on the internet some stuff and I have found thoses:
Do you have any recommendations?
May the Gods be with you!
Mon envie de mourir était tellement puissante hier, j'ai peur que ça recommence aujourd'hui.
My desire to die was so hard yesterday, I am afraid for today.
Hymn to Poseidon
Dark-bearded sovereign of the waves, Poseidon Pelegaios abides in the deep water. Lances of sunlight scatter into gold that gleams in his horses’ manes and along the friezes of his palace. In the wake of his chariot, the waters still; sinuous monsters frolic alongside, aphotic pale and ghastly. The tempestuous lord, sea-green and furious with the sea’s rage when his pride is crossed, roars with the thunder of hooves; Ennosigaios strikes the earth. Beneath the butt of his trident, the ground convulses; the tormented surf churns. At his command, the waters rise, the cliffs shudder; at his command, they subside again. Mighty god who raises colossal walls, overshadows coastal cities and wraps them in his protection, and bridles wild-charging horses, Asphalios cherishes harbors and drapes them in imported linens and finespun wools. He adorns his cities in the treasures of trading ships and the ocean depths. Fearsome warrior, father of heroes, mounted on dolphins and seahorses, the god of the oceans surges like the tides, ferocious and merry and bright and fierce. None holds my heart, compels my every love, like the silver, turquoise, dark son of Kronos, lord of all the waters on the earth. —– (If you’d like a poem or hymn customized to your own practice, I offer poetry commissions!)
Ok so I have this headcanon that while Athena is the patron god of war heroes and soldiers, protecting those on the battlefield, Ares is the one who cares for the innocent civilians, the ones who have nothing to do with the war yet constitute 90% of its casualties
Ares who would stand in front of the orphan and the widow, who would break the chains of the war slaves, who would give water and food to the starving refugees, who would whisper a safe place to hide for genocide victims, who would carry to the medics crippled children. Ares who has no mercy for those who pillage and rape, switching sides constantly to help as many bystanders as possible
coz he believes oh so firmly that only those who shoots should be shot at and because you wouldn’t be the god of war without something to fight for, something to protect
To everyone saying in myths “he’s canonically ruthless, into bloodshed, would love to watch Innocents die”:
94% of the actual myths were lost and the rest came from Athens which REALLY HATED Ares and would write him this way because he believed in women’s rights and Ancient Athens didn’t.
And then Christian monks perpetuated this image of him to equate him with Satan because Ares turned Mars was the father of Rome and Christianity wanted to vilify him.
As an actual pagan who works with Ares I agree with the main post.
I grew up in a warzone and befriended Ares, who came to me, when I was little. I thought he was just an imaginary friend until I started working with gods and realized I’ve learned to defend myself and survive because he helped.
Yes Ares is the god of war but he’s also the god of civil order, revolution, fighting injustice like racism, sexism, etc, rape victims and protector of the innocent.
Hello worshipers
I would like to know if the Gods will be mad at me if I killed myself. I'm in a crisis period and I don't know what to do. I'm going to see my therapist, take my medicines... but it's hard.
With which God can I speak about that ? Maybe Dionysus ?
It's full moon tonight I think, maybe Artemis ?
My patron is Poseidon but I don't want to bother him with that, neither the others Gods.
Thank you so much for your messages! I'm feeling so much better. Maybe because I've receive this today :
I think the Gods are with me, like they are with all of you.
Again thank you !

Worship Etiquette:
As with all chthonic deities, offerings are usually poured down. Offerings that float up (such as incense) are less common, but can be used.
Food offerings are usually buried instead of eaten. However, if need be, you may eat them.
Offerings are often buried, poured down the drain, or into the trash. This is done to ‘complete’ the offering.
This is very traditional, but I want to include it for extra information. In a temple with a roof, offerings would often be left by His feet all day and then during at night. Also, since the Mycenaean period, priests of Άδης would rhythmically pound their hands on the ground whilst praying to Him. I will sometimes tap (not pound) my head to the floor while praying in honor of this tradition.
As always, be polite. Hades will forgive any mistakes with a forgiveness offerings and continued respect.
Ideas for Active Worship:
Saving money, and spending it wisely
Cleaning litter from cemeteries, and tending to old graves
Offerings to the dead, as well as money to the spirits of the dead to let them pass on, and donating the physical change
Collecting crystals and stones
Making an altar to tend dead spirits
Studying other cultures’ burial methods and cemetery rites
Donating to burial, mortuary or funeral services
If you communicate to spirits, treat them kindly and help them move on
Ancestral worship
Praying
Devotional poems and artwork
Dedicating items to Him, such as jewelry, a wand, or a specific bone
Working with death energy and dying plants during autumn and winter
Caring for dogs kindly
Reflecting on your thoughts and emotions on death
Helping others who have experienced loss

Bonjour/Hello !
J’aimerai savoir s’il existait une association/rencontre/lieu de culte pour les helléniques polythéiste quelque part en France ? ou alors un site internet fiable où je pourrais devenir membre ?
I would like to know if there is an association/meeting/place of worship somewhere in France ? Or a site web where I can become a member ?

OH MY GODS I WANT TO CRY THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL
Watch what I have received in my other blog !
Aux helleniques polythéistes francophones !!!
J’étais en train d’écrire un message aux Dieux quand j’ai décidé de “parler” seulement à Poséidon. C’est là que je me suis demandée: vous tutoyez les Dieux (tout en restant polie bien sûr) ou vous les vouvoyez ?
Personnellement j’aurai tendance à tutoyer mais je voudrais avoir votre avis...
Gloire aux Dieux !
