my altar is a place of sanctuary. honoring my god, praying and tuning in with his presence and giving over my love, my soul and all of which shows my appreciation to him fills me with even more love to share. i feel safe and protected under dionysus, god of the wild and free.
under him i can feel the full potential of my soul and under his guidance i can make it far. my altar is my sanctuary, the place where i can freely love and feel. the place my soul feels at home 🍇☀️
lo euoi!
A drawing I did in honor of this Spring Equinox 💐☀️ Eostre bless us this year 🙏
welcome spring and may eostre bless us not only today but througout the whole year with new beginnings and happiness 💐💐
heres my little altar and a few glimpses on how i celebrate this festivity ☀️ praise to persephone, demeter and eos for bringing us the growing flowers, the sunny days and lovely warmth
Hey obviously if you don't want to answer questions that's understandable but I'm somewhat new to Helenism and trying to learn all the festivals would you mind explaining a little bit what Anthesteria is?
Of course! Essentially it's a three day festival, roughly meaning "the flower festival". It's supposed to celebrate the beginning of spring and jar-opening of the old fermented wines back then. Each day is reserved for a different activity.
If you want check out these sources, they'll tell you more about these activities etc. Hope I could help!
The first day of Anthesteria 💐 how I love this festival. I wish you all a well one!
work has been DRAINING me and I haven't had the chance to picture my yule altar or post my yearly celebration post 🧐 instead of that, have what I've been working on the last days.
as someone who loves collecting bones and using them in their craft, i've figured i should create a holder in a way, therefore this, which simultaneously works as a jewelry holder
(while it does look like something more out of a horror movie, I like it lousy and creepy 🗣)
belated samhain 💀🖤 i wish for you to have lovely festivities and a protected time with your ancestors, blessed be

I love the joy I experience in my religion.
I love looking at my altar and seeing depictions and associations to my gods.
I love lighting candles in honor of them, watching the flames jump, while my adoration for them spikes.
I love seeing something outside and being reminded of them.
I love doing rituals and activities to honor their presence and help.
I love having someone to express my gratitude, my adoration and love towards to.
I love knowing the gods and goddesses are watching over me, are protecting me.
Sometimes my love is all-consuming and it makes me cry in awe by the beauty of my faith. I think it's a shame that any religions gets critized as it's whole, even though the much bigger problem is the way religion get utilized, rather than the idea in itself. How can any religion at it's core, without societal influence, be something bad?
I hope this joy I find in the mundane things in my everyday life in association to my faith, won't leave me in the future. And even if, I'll remember that the gods and goddesses will always be there for me. And I think that's enough to know that there's hidden beauty in religion. 🌙
