Intro post!

Hi ! I'm Lunar !! I'm a Hellenic Polytheist and artist!!

here's my strawpage my dni is in here!!

this is a religious blog

I don't post a lot but I am nice and like talking, I swear!!! I'm 17 and my pronouns are she/her/they/them

please be aware that my daily activity may vary due to my circadian rhythm disorder and hypersomnia.

please don't tag me in chain posts or in comments with links unless it is on topic w my blog !

I started my religious practice on Nov 7th 2024 and have been learning and connecting more since! My patron is Apollon ! He was the first God I started worshipping and he is who I'm closest to!! I also worship Aphrodite, Selene, Hermes, and Dionysus !

here are my devotional playlists! (all YouTube music) Apollon Aphrodite Selene Hermes Dionysus Ares

I love music !!!! it's what keeps me sane /silly. I write poetry (& prayers) from time to time and every once in a while I'll spit out a painting lol

I LOVE making collages. you'll see a decent amount of those from me.

Reposting of my art, poetry, or prayers is prohibited. you may not feed any of my work into AI. My work is my work alone, nobody elses. you may use my prayers with respect and good intention. please ask permission before using any of my collages.

I play a few games such as, Cookie Run: Kingdom, Tears of Themis, Honkai: Star Rail, and Pressure (Roblox)! #hyperfixations

feel free to ask me anything about...well... anything!! I'll try my best to answer :D

That's all I can think about for now, have a blessed day/night!!!!

Don't be afraid to create for Apollon. Write that poem. Make that drawing. Sing that song. It doesn't matter how good or bad you think it is. He'll enjoy it regardless. The art has come from you. That's what is important to Him. He will cherish it because it came from your heart.

All of the Prehistoric Pride guys in one collective post to celebrate pride month. Choose your fighter and have an awesome time :D

More suggestions are always welcome, I sadly was not able to cover everyone, but I will do more of these in the future!

I am going to add more and more to the collection as I get them done :D

[rose-by-the-sea]

I reblog a lot of art and aesthetic stuff on this, but it's not for the reason of "I think Aphrodite is this coquette girly doll :3". I think that these things I find cute and beautiful are Aphrodite.

As in, whenever I see people supporting each other, or someone calling themselves beautiful, or enjoying art that depicts themselves wholly by any means, those things are Aphrodite blessing them with the ability to see that beauty, and feel that love for one another, and themselves. Aphrodite is that love, and She is the personification of that love.

The things I reblog are offerings.

piggybacking!

when you see a drawing of Apollon, no matter what form the artist drew Him in you are looking directly at Apollon. He is art. He IS creativity, inspiration, and head of the Muses! i love Apollon and Aphrodite!!!

Lord Apollon

Another digital offering for Apollon as thanks for His guidance lately 💛🧡

[devoted-to-the-gods]

Please hear me radiant Apollo Paean.

Bless me with your touch

Please heal me of the pain that aches in my bones and muscles

Even if just for a day, beautiful god of healing

Shine your light into my soul

Allow me to feel the warmth of your strength

And admire your mastery of easing the suffering of the chronically ill

Praise be to the tenderhearted Apollo

Shrine vs. Altar vs. Alter

This post is meant to inform, not shame.

I’ve noticed a lot of people confusing these three terms, so I wanted to try and help show the differences between them.

Shrine: A place where you’d leave idols, flowers, and decor. When people use the term “altar” in modern practice, they most often (but not always) refer to a shrine.

Altar: There were typically two types of altars in ancient Greece. One is a home altar, an area where offerings were burnt (also known as the Hearth), and the other was a public space used for ritual sacrifice.

Alter: To make different; to modify; a change in character. This term has no connection to Hellenic Polytheism.

There are also specific terms to refer to types of altars, however I’m not going to go over them in this post.

A lot of religions use the term shrine/altar interchangeably, leading a lot of people to not realize the differences they have in Hellenic Polytheism. While you don’t need to use the term shrine/altar separately if you don’t wish to (after all, I’m not the HelPol police), it’s still important to understand the differences, especially when reading about ancient Greek religion since that’s when these distinctions are most important.
