Calling yourself a revivalist does not mean you are exempt from doing historical research!!!

If you want to worship the gods of ancient Greece you need to research about ancient Greece 😱. If you want to worship the pop culture deities of Percy Jackson or Epic The Musical or whatever else then do that but don’t call yourself a HelPol please!

(This post isn’t to discourage anyone and again there are very easy ways of doing research especially now with so many resources free to access on the internet)

You should all probably know that Netanyahu is in Athens right now.

Claims Israel is attempting to strengthen their "Hellenic Alliance" between Greece, Israel and Cyprus.

Pray to your gods, this is not Hellenism.

I am so normal about Hypnos and Thantatos.

I am so normal about them being intrinsically linked not just by being twins but by their roles in the universe. Sleep is the closest one can get to death without actually dying, and death is just an eternal slumber.

I am so normal about them being two sides of the same coin, not just connected by their DNA and their jobs. Needing each other to operate, needing the mortal dying of old age to be put to sleep before their soul can be reaped.

I am so normal about Hypnos having multiple lovers and children while Thanatos stays alone, content with being uncle death to his twins kids.

I am so normal about them needing each other to work efficiently. Helping each other carry bodies off the battlefield, lulling the dying to rest before they take their last breath, back winged Thanatos holding up his twin whoes head wings aren't as big and don't hold as much weight.

I am so normal about them being the light twin and the dark twin, the gentle twin and the 'scary' twin, the loved twin and the feared twin. No one truly understands them like they do each other.

I am so normal about godling death knowing he'll get the best rest possible if he just climbs into bed next to his sleepy twin and the two resting together with no stress.

I am so normal about the cthonic twins I promise.

Happy pride month to everyone!

If you're trans/queer, Dionysos is here to protect you.

If you're intersex, Hermaphroditus is keeping you safe.

If you're gay/bisexual, Apollo wants you to keep shining.

If you're lesbian, Aphrodite is guiding you.

If you're aro/ace, Artemis is helping you stand your ground.

PLEASE DO NOT USE TIKTOK AS A RESOURCE FOR HELLENIC POLYTHEISM

Tiktok is probably one of THE WORST places to learn about REAL hellenic polytheism because it is rampant with misinformation and most creators are only interested in views and parroting misinformation THEY heard. Yes there are some great and informative creators on there to learn about the hellenic gods but they are far and few in-between.

INSTEAD if you're new to the religion and have no clue where to start researching/learning, here are a few phenomenal creators on here with wonderful and informative posts!

@wisdom-devotee has an amazing guide for starting out in hellenic polytheism

@seasaltdevotion also recently made a fantastic post on resources for starting out

@crazycatsiren has a SUPER long list of resources and research material

@khaire-traveler has possibly the greatest list on subtle deity worship for just about every god

Please actually learn from those of us that truly love and covet this religion and spread information that will truly benefit you.

Xenia means you help your neighbours escape immigration police

Xenia means you feed, house, and respect the homeless, regardless of what got them there

Xenia means you do the work to unlearn racism, misogyny, homophobia, ableism and transphobia

Xenia means (with obvious exceptions) you treat criminals and felons as human beings worthy of dignity and respect

Xenia means you make your environments less overstimulating if you know you’ll be with an autistic person

Xenia means Fuck the police

Xenia means you talk to the elderly neighbour who’s living on their own, and has nobody in their life

Xenia means respecting your trans friends identity even when they’re not present

"Hermes is the god of thieves so he's fine with art theft!" No.

"Dionysos wouldn't mind it he's chaotic!" No.

"Hephaistos is a machinery god and AI is machinery so it's okay!" No.

"The gods wouldn't even care they just want offerings!" No.

There is not, and never has been, a reason to offer the gods AI art. It requires absolutely no effort or thought on your part as a worshipper, which defeats the purpose of an offering.

Do not support the use of AI art at ALL, much less as something given to Them.

"But it's all I can give!" Water. The Theoi fully accept a glass of water.

Sing.

Do a craft.

Write a letter.

Draw.

Dedicate a task.

Please do not offer those you worship something so lackluster and thoughtless as a computer generated image that destroys our environment and piggybacks off the works of others.

Repeat after me, folks!!

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be pro-Zionist.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be anti-Semitic.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be homophobic.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be transphobic.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and hate on other minorities/religions.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be racist.

You can't be a Hellenic pagan and be an asshole.

Xenia is such a crucial part of Hellenic paganism. Anyone who disagrees with any of these points can kindly fuck off my blog.

[iwearsunglassesatnight]

[iwearsunglassesatnight]

as an ex catholic i feel such a need to convince the gods i’m perfect and do everything i can to make the other people in my community (tumblr) not judge me

[iwearsunglassesatnight]

i feel like being photophobic and an apollo devotee is so ironic

i worship the god of light and healing when light gives me migraines…
