they/he Hellenic Polytheist

[god-blog]

Hello!

This is a side blog I made dedicated to my adventures in witchcraft and Hellenic Polytheism. My main blog is @little-cereal-draws

I'm still figuring things out so this will probably be a mix of personal posts and devotional/general Greek mythology stuff. I am a baby witch and a baby Hellenist so pls be patient w me.

My current witchcraft situation: somewhere between green witch and secular witch

My current godly situation: I'm working with Artemis but I would also like to work with Hermes, Apollo, and Athena (I know that's a lot but I love them all ok)

ABSOLUTELY NO TERFS

(Also, shameless self-promotion, if you want to read a very queer original comic about ancient Rome and Egypt that I'm making with @the-voice-i-was-given, go check out @ancientcivilizationnonsense!)

The Re-Discovery of Witches exhibition Kickstarter

Hello everyone! We’re only a few short months away from the Museum’s first physical exhibition! I’m so excited and can’t wait to share it with you all!

That being said, I’m still trying to raise the money to afford the gallery rent and a small opening reception. I haven’t been having much luck on GoFundMe so I thought I would try Kickstarter. Some of the rewards I’m thinking of offering are being listed as a donor on the exhibition promotional material, an exhibition poster, and possibly some small prints. Maybe. But first I want to gauge interest.

About the exhibition:

The Re-Discovery of Witches---opening on Beltane, May 1st, 2026---negotiates the identity of modern witches juggling both the commodification of the witch and its heavy historical baggage. Drawing from ancient stereotypes and depictions of witches, The Re-Discovery of Witches celebrates identity and reinterprets the history of European and American witchcraft and the trials women endured.

Would you back a Kickstarter to help the exhibition and get some swag?

Yes

No

Happy Samhain!

I have a terrific announcement! In 2026, The Museum of Witchcraft and Paganism will be hosting our first in-person exhibition! It's called The Re-Discovery of Witches, named after the 1647 pamphlet by "witchfinder general" Matthew Hopkins, and it focuses on the modern reclaiming of the identity "witch."

Featuring five contemporary artists from Savannah, Georgia who identify as practicing witches, it will include works in fibers, ceramics, painting, metal work, woodblock printing, and broom-making. This exhibition explores the identity of modern witches juggling both the modern commodification of the witch and its heavy historical baggage.  

This is where you come in! Unfortunately, we are still struggling to come up with the funds to rent the gallery space and host a small reception. We have started a GoFundMe (link in my pinned post) and any donations, no matter how small, will be a huge help! Thank you all so much and blessed be!

I need pagan-y ideas!

I'm applying to an internship at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the Greek and Roman wing. It's a year-long internship so one of the things I get to do is work on my own research project using the Met's incredibly huge collections. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity!

The idea I have right now is to explore the gender expression of the Gods in art---I have seen statues of Bacchus as a woman, read hymns where Athena is referred to as a man, and know that Artemis was heavily involved in the coming-of-age ceremony of boys---but I'm not sure there will be enough material to sit with it for a whole year.

My question for you is what do you want to know about the Gods? Is there something you feel is under researched? A question you want the answer to? Please let me know!

I lowkey think that we need to write more myths, not to erase the ones that we have and pass them off as ancient, but to continue using storytelling to show our interpretations of the gods and to spark discourse, out in a sociopolitical context and a religious one. The purpose of myth nowadays can not really be the same as it was in the Ancient World since our religion is no longer mainstream, but I think that gives us more leeway to use myth and poetry as a means to create useful discourse among modern polytheists

Note 1: if you’re going to write a myth, please learn about how the gods were perceived in the Ancient world to avoid falling into easy stereotypes and modern flanderisation. Be respectful. Myth is not just fanfiction

Note 2: please do not pass off any of the myths you write as ancient. I know some people will unfortunately try to do so

Note 3: this post is definitely not an excuse for me to eventually post my narrative hymns here, yeah, definitely not…

My favorite ancient hymn has to be the Orphic Rhapsodic Hymn to Zeus. Mostly because it completely flies in the face of most modern perceptions of Zeus and his role in Ancient Greek religion. "haha zeus sky daddy throwing lightning bolts and having affairs"

WRONG. ZEUS ENCOMPASSES THE UNIVERSE ITSELF AND HIS EYES ARE LIKE THE BRILLIANT SUN AND HIS BELLY IS THE COSMOS! HE IS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE FIRST AND LAST OF ALL THINGS, BOTH MALE AND FEMALE!

I think pagans are very strong people. The lack of pagan representation, lack of temples, communities and overall acceptance of our religion hurts deeply. There is a reason why many people, including me, take big breaks from paganism. It is indeed very hard to stay consistent. The amount of doubts all of us are having when doing a certain practices is unimaginable, but we try, sometimes fail and try again. What I wanted to say is that no matter if you step away or feel like you are failing what you are doing is important . It keeps our religions alive and going. No matter how oppressed we are, we will not yield and we will continue to believe.

I love this! It reminds me that it's okay to step away and have doubts, at times. It really is a difficult path but I also wouldn't trade it for anything.
