Madi

Hi! I’m Madi, I’m 17, and I currently live in London. I shifted to this reality 2 years ago <3

[madiness-shifting]

Good afternoon! A “boring” post today, this is all about politics in my or!

Agaaain hello, I’m madi, and I shift to *this* reality!

My country runs off of both a monarchy and a government. The monarchy has the “king/queen” as all of our gods. Everyone turns to them for questions regarding the country/world (see my post on religion if you wanna :D), though the government mostly ask for their opinions. The government has most physical control over the country though.

There’s no set singular leader; it’s more so a group of like 10-15 “top” people (they’re called κλίκα) who come to their own decisions between themselves, with the rest of the party being able to contribute their opinions, and the community get a say also.

Our political spectrum is different; our liberals are your labour in terms of ideas and promises. We have elections every 15 years, which gets voted from regions and totalled up, with the gods having their say as well.

In order if “importance” of who makes decisions, it goes Gods > κλίκα > lower gov party > community! Though we get a huge say in stuff in comparison to most places.

I forgot I had this app….

Again a reminder if I’m new on your pageeee! I’m madi and I shifted here!

Two points today: language, and time!

Language-

In my OR, there are 5 main languages; English, Greek, Māori, Russian, and Spanish. English and Greek are the most widespread. Māori is mostly spoken in some parts of Africa and south east aus, Russia and Spanish are only really seen in European countries. In America there’s a few smaller languages but I don’t know them. I speak all of them except Spanish! (Though my Russian is very bad,,,)

Time-

Our years are almost half as long as yours. We have 3 less months (missing January, July, October), each month having 20 days; June has 21. (181 days in a year!). In terms of days, my current year is equivalent to 1007 (thank you to Nyxie for the mathematics), though something like the 1700s seems about right for other aspects of life. We write the date as year.month.day, and the calendar year begins in may! So, today’s date is 281.2.10 :D. As a result humans technically live until 200 (ish), I’ll be mentioning this in more detail soon !!!

I can’t believe I’ve got 45 followers in less than a week, where did you all come from?!

Hi! I’m Madi and I shifted to this reality :D

Today’s post is about differences in religion!

Firstly, about 96% of my world is Hellenic Pagan (polytheism taking a large majority). The other 4% is made up of judaism and a teeny tiny group of people have their own religion. Judaism is mostly seen up north, but it is dying. Same with the micro-religions, they’re mostly north east, and hardly talked about. Christianity doesn’t exist and never has, neither have any other religions that you have here. For those that don’t know, Hellenistic polytheism is the worship of Greek gods, and we worship multiple gods most of the time. (Poly = many. We aren’t forced to worship more than one god, it is just more common. People reach out to other gods without worshipping them specifically also)

The gods are much more vocal than people tend to mention about here, and they often directly speak to their followers, the gods actively assist anyone and everything, and always reply to offerings, worship, and assistance, even if not a lot. Though, signs are less common than direct replies. We don’t have churches, only many temples often dedicated to one single god, with a couple in my country not set to one god for those who can’t access a specific shrine.

My family work with Artemis, and occasionally Apollo as well (though he is the one who reaches out more). Though personally I also worship Hermes.

To keep this post from not being extremely long, I won’t be delving into my experiences working with the gods today, but it will come within the next week or so!

It’s a shame that helpol is very scarce here, with so little statues and in-tact temples to the gods, but I understand that very few openly worship the gods here.

How did 96% of the world being HelPol happen? Genuinely curious because those are crazy statistics. What must the history behind this religion propagating be? My first guest would be intensive conquest and forced conversion (The very small percentages of the other religions and them slowly dying out affect my assumption. If there was conquest of this extent, then there's a very clear cultural and social power imbalance, which would make the non-dominant religions dying out way easier, faster and more likely and would also explain why the microreligions aren't talked about). Here Christianity and Islam did intensive conquest and forced conversions and not even those religions (added up together!) make up more than 55% of the world's religions. But I might be wrong, so that's why I'm asking, because I'm curious. Also, do you have no atheism?

[madiness-shifting]

Im not too sure if this goes onto my page, but if so consider this a tiny bit of history!

There was a massive war about 1000 ish years ago, between the Greeks and maori (who previously had most control over countries and culture) of which the Greeks won, and basically forced down all of their ideas, language, religion, etc. Those super north never agreed to it and protested it by just not following, and America has some of the microreligions since not all of it is greek-controlled.

Atheism does exist to an extent, but at this point most people just follow along and pretend they're helpol as it makes life 1000x easier with the amount it influences us!

54 people here just for me :0

Hi, im Madi and i shift here :}

This post might not be too long today, sorry!

I’ll be talking about currency and customs surrounding it!!

Most of my world has one universal currency, κλειδαριές, which I think is somewhat similar to United States cents. This is used in almost every country, the name translates roughly to “locks”. It originated as a Greek currency, and overtook the previous currency we had of Koura (“gold”) after they took over from the Māori. In America in my or, there’s a couple of other smaller sub currencies, but I’m not too knowledgeable on them. From what I’ve been able to assume, it has a similar value to British pence and American cents here. Things in my or are “cheaper” in comparison, but it’s all relational to what we actually earn. An example of this, a steak in England here costs about £5, whereas in my reality it is only 10κλ (just consider this to be about 50c/p, I’ll convert it properly when I am not rushing xD). We pay with coins, which are small and hand-crafted out of some sort of silver metal, but do occasionally trade goods for goods!

21 followers?! Hi!!!!

This post will be about map and country differences!!

Again if you don’t know me, I’m Madi and I shifted here :D

Ive figured out how procreate works,, so you’ll get a (very bad) rendition of the sort of map!

My world is two large landmasses, but there’s lots of lakes in every continent so it isn’t a *full* mass. We have hardly any ocean, and lots of countries are connected because of it. America (n+s) is separate from every other country, and quite hard to get to. There’s about 70 countries (of which are substantially larger), and 4 total continents (Europe is considered Asia). Continents are also different, eg china and Japan are considered part of oceana!

On the east, you can travel literally anywhere on foot if you so pleased. There’s paths from Australia going up through Indonesia to get into Asia, and the connections of Asia to Europe and Africa are larger. Greenland doesn’t exist, nor does the arctic or Antarctic. Most countries are extremely flat, we have no mountain ranges, hardly any large hills as well. Forests are a lot more common than here (most of the large forests in my original reality are deforested here, or didn’t even exist at all).

The biomes of some countries are different, Africa is mostly trees, while up north in north Asia it’s mostly grass plains.

Drawing a map from memory is stupidly difficult so take this with a grain of salt…

Oh my gods 12 followers I feel famous!

My first longer descriptive post, of the differences in technology from here compared to my original reality.

If I’m new on anyone’s feed (is that what it’s called?), hi! I’m Madi, and I shifted to this reality 2 years ago!

I also found out how to use colours so this will look slightly prettier than my other post

For my first (real) post, I’ll be telling you a bit about me and where I’m from!

Firstly, I’m from an equivalent of Australia (it is laid out much differently), but, in this reality I live in south London. I shifted here primarily by accident, and just stayed. I had no idea what shifting was until I woke up one day in a different country; I thought i was going mad since it’s not even something you can research in my reality. I am technically 34 in my reality (our years are half as long, and in turn the human lifespan is about 200 years, so in turn I am the equivalent of a teenager, and here in this reality I am actually 17 as well!). In my original reality, my family consists of me, my older sister, my parents, and our horse. My original reality’s world is younger than here, and the equivalent year in terms of days would be 1007, though 1700s sound more accurate for culture and society. I’ll be posting about general history eventually!

Trying to keep this initial post short, all of these points will be expanded on in due time! <3

Hello!!

This is my first time using this app, so I apologise for mistakes.

I am a reality shifter! I shifted to this reality 2 years ago from a somewhat similar reality. In my original reality, I lived in Australia. I came here mostly seeking travel, but grew attached to this reality and stayed.

I have been shifting consistently almost every night here! I’m happy to answer any and all questions! I’ll be posting a list of all differences soon <3

My posts will be a mix of things from my original reality, the differences, and other random things!

Happy shifting!

<3
