Hellenic blog

26 y.o. They/She Discord: afieromenos

Finally going to get around to an introduction post!

My name’s Red, and I am 25 years old. I’ve been practicing some sort of witchcraft/paganism/spiritualism for about 6 years now?(i genuinely have no clue) But within the past 4 years, and more so within the past year, I’ve been researching and practicing Hellenic Polytheism.

I love Dungeons and Dragons, playing way too much Sims 4, and Stardew Valley. I have 3 cats, and an amazing partner who Ive been with for almost 6 years.

This blog is a personal blog, though my practice is a large part of my life so a lot of posts will be in regard to the Hellenic gods and my practice and experience with them.

bingewatching will never come close to bingereading. there is nothing like blocking out the entire Earth for ten hours to read a book in one sitting no food no water no shower no bra and emerging at the end with no idea what time it is or where you are, a dried-up prune that's sensitive to light and loud noises because you've been in your room in the dark reading by the glow of a single LED. it's like coming back after a three-month vacation in another dimension and now you have to go downstairs and make dinner. absolutely transcendental

Some ya’ll who are younger need to google Frank Serpico and read about his time in the NYPD and what the cops did to him and attempted to do to him up until the late 90′s. He literally had to go into hiding in Italy and Switzerland and multiple times people tried to kill him. He only came back to America after the mafia (who hated the NYPD a lot, obviously) said “you’re under our protection.”

[seriously-though-wtf]

Damn, NYPD is so bad, Mafia started protecting good cops

Confessions of a Former Bastard Cop

I was a police officer for nearly ten years and I was a bastard. We all were.

👆Really really good article by the way. Feels like a good piece to show to folks you know who are still on the fence about things like police or prison abolition. Plus the pseudonym the author uses is hysterical, and he's really quite a good writer.

[subsequentlysilly]

extremely good article, please read it. at the very least read the "how to be a bastard" section, it outlines a lot of the ways cops will try to trick you

being the last one to send a message before the chat falls into sudden silence always feels like u just made the worst faux pas of your life and you go sorry guys was that weird and they're all like no sorry I was just looking at a leaf on tbe ground leaf.jpg like oh ok

[syn4k]

i like the phrases "it's not for me," "it's not my thing," and "i'm not the target audience" because they're the most concise way to express "this thing that you enjoy has merits but idgaf about it" without being aggressive

at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.

[evergreen-femme]

this post is apparently going around terf circles now so i feel like i should let y'all know that you are agreeing with a transsexual lesbian who fucks nasty. get the fuck off my post and also your "feminism" is anything but.

[evergreen-femme]

8 hour round trip to come to the beach for the day. Had an amazing time. Read hymns to the sounds of the crashing waves to Gaia, Poseidon, and Aphrodite.

[rafeandonlyrafe]

well 🧍‍♀️ as a reminder this blog is NOT a safe space for trump supporters but it IS a safe place for women, queers, trans ppl, people of color, undocumented people, and any marginalized group.

Today has truly been so amazing. I went thrifting to find things for my altars (specifically ups for libations) and not only did I find 4 cups (I need more cups but I’m so picky) AND I found a bread machine for $20!!!! I’m so thrilled to make fresh bread!!

[kindliess]

First time in a long time I’ve done any kind of spell work. Just a simple prosperity bowl with the goal of having more fun life experiences.

It’s super simple but I feel like it holds more power this time and more energy.

[kindliess]

Entering my research era. May Athena be with me and help me learn all there is about the Gods.
