helpol little lesbian | 27

[melinoestale]

Χαίρε!

I'm Gala, she/her, a 27 y/o Mediterranean lesbian who is dedicating her life to death. I'm helpol since 2019 !

I worship mainly Melinoe, Hades, Persephone, Hermes and Aphrodite 🪽

I'm a medium! I communicate with the dead, I'm a mortician and a thanatologist as I study death in all its fields.

This is a personal blog about my religious practices, so please respect or leave me alone !

DNI list!

• Minors: you can follow me as I won't post anything problematic really, I'm pretty chill. Please don't DM me or expect me to follow you back. I can reply to comments or answer questions, but that's it! Understand that I'm an adult and talking to kids / teen on the internet is not something I really want to do :s

• Anti queer: fuck off.

• TERFs: anti queer so fuck off.

• Nazis, zionists, racists, misogynists and basically anyone who thinks they have the right to oppress others: FUCK OFF

• People who hate Hades: don't come near me or stay close to me if you want to see how cool he actually is!

• People who treat the gods like this is a fandom: I'm not a Greek mythology fan, even though I enjoy content about it like Hades game or Hadestown, this is not a fan account. Again, this is a religious space, so stay away from me if you don't understand this simple statement.

About death

I'll talk freely about it, always using a TW!

My relationship with death comes from the heart, from love. Being able to help people when they lose a loved one is what I was born for.

My intention with these kinds of posts is to help others understand death more and hopefully change the perspective of it.

This is totally linked to my religious practices, as I mostly worship the Underworld gods and actually work with Hades and Melinoe about death!

About the gods

I won't share my practice and work with Melinoe here or anywhere else as she made me clear to keep it for us. This doesn't mean that I won't talk about her or even create a blog for her as a digital altar! I'm looking forward to it, hehe. But in general terms I won't share anything or maybe just a few simple things if I'm able to.

As I said before, I work with Hades too and maybe I can share some things. I'd rather keep most of the work in private, but I like to share experiences if I can help others!

I also work with Hermes right now and for sure I'll share about it. He's motivating me to have a positive presence online and find a good community, so I'll probably talk about him a lot!!

About Persephone and Aphrodite, I'll I have to say is that they're amazing. I love them both so much!! I'm glad to be able to worship them as best as I can <3

As helpol, I obviously pray and do offerings to other gods aside from the five I mentioned, but I don't keep a constant practice with them! I only have kharis with these five :]

I would probably do the digital altars for them, I'm so excited to be here and be able to do it!!

About me

I speak Spanish too!

I'm trying to learn modern Greek (pls help omgs) by myself, but don't ask me to say anything, παρακαλώ :p

I'm actually a bit goofy, I like to joke around, but I take my practice seriously.

I'm the worst person in the world to reply to DMs, so please think twice before sending me a message!! I might reply with my mind and proceed to forget about it until it's too late and I feel embarrassed :(

I'm an artist, currently learning digital art so maybe (if I like it and I'm allowed) I'll post devotional drawings! I also write a lot (like a lot lot) and that's the best offering I can give to Hermes truly :]

I do everything from love, not for love!

Even though I have this relationship with death, I'm actually a pretty normal person! I'm running away from twitter's negativity and I'm not taking any here. I want to have a nice community and discuss things without arguing, share my experience with other helpols and maybe I can help someone too, hehe

I hope this is long enough for Hermes' approval and I wish you all a lovely week! May the gods bless you all<3

Hades Εὐβούλευς

When I call Hades Eubouleus, I am naming him not only as King of the Underworld, but as the Wise Counselor who sees far beyond mortal sight. This title reminds me that his realm is not chaos, but order. In his stillness lies guidance, in his silence lies truth.

As Eubouleus, Hades offers counsel that is firm, steady, and unshakable. His wisdom does not flatter or soften, it cuts through illusions and leads me to what is essential. Death itself is his counsel: a stripping away of what is false, a reminder of what endures.

In moments of uncertainty, I look to Hades as Eubouleus. He shows me that endings are not empty, but purposeful. He whispers of the hidden order woven into loss, of the balance that runs beneath all things. To walk with him in this aspect is to learn trust in the cycles of descent and return, knowing that even the darkest passage is part of a greater rhythm.

Hades as Eubouleus teaches that true guidance is not loud or demanding it is quiet, constant, and deeply rooted. When I call on him by this name, I open myself to his steadying presence, to counsel that flows not from human fear, but from the deep wisdom of the earth and the underworld itself.

Prayer to Hades Eubouleus

Hades Eubouleus, Good Counselor, whose wisdom is steady as the earth, guide me through the shadows with clear sight.

Strip away illusion, and grant me the strength to face truth without fear.

Teach me to trust in endings as beginnings,in silence as counsel,in death as the root of life.

I honor you, Wise One, and open my heart to your hidden wisdom.

anyone else finds their relationship with Lord Hermes as an indulgent older brother who is helping you and guiding you? Like, instead of presenting himself as a God, his connection often feels a lot more like... fond? like he's ruffling my hair and calling me kiddo and indulging me while still guiding me to the right path.

I find myself very loved and safe in his presence, and unconsciously lean into my inner child more internally instead of masking it and being overly 'mature' in his presence. It embarrasses me a bit when I reflect after, but at the same time feels less burdensome and more refreshing.

Praise Lord Hermes.

is there any group chat / discord server for Hades or chthonic gods worshipers? and if there isn't, is anyone interested in joining one? :')

I could create a discord server so we can share our experiences in private and help each other out when it's needed !

A couple of paragraphs I loved from Mara Lynn Keller: The Eleusinian Mysteries of Demeter and Persephone: Fertility, Sexuality and Rebirth; in Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion

Helpols, There's actually MANY (thousands and thousands) of FREE historical and archeological sources online on Google Scholar, Persée, Academia, googlebooks etc,... Not having money is actually not an excuse to not do ACTUAL research on your RELIGION. Cause like i said, there's thousands and thousands of free books and PDF written by historians and archeologists... And just wondering, How can you belong to a religion you don't know anything about? That's a real question with no animosity. I just don't get it.

[melinoestale]

Since I invited the gods back to my life I've been trying my best to choose love. I know love exists because of them.

They had helped me out in many ways, but especially with loving myself and appreciating life. I used to despise basically everything, now my point of view is totally different.

I couldn't be more grateful to the gods for teaching me, for allowing me to see the beauty of the world. Also, for reminding me constantly that I'm alive and that I'm not going to stay alive forever!

Let's have fun while we can, let's love with all our hearts and choose kindness<3

[melinoestale]

I'm seeing people with similar experiences with the gods and it makes me so so so happy. they're alive and around us, showing us things to share with the world :')

I'm talking about silly little details like Hades not liking sweet foods 😭 totally opposite to Hermes in my experience haha

[whim513]

i made a silly thing for father hades : )

[melinoestale]

I just saw a post about finding out who your gods are, involving witchcraft, which is fine if you're looking through all pantheons but for hellenism, just ask Hestia

I think new helpol people are way too influenced by social media. Chat, ask Hestia and she'll tell you who they are, it's the first step in hellenism ://

Don't trust sources from here, tiktok or any social media because literally ANYONE can write any shit. Read the ancient cults!!! I'm begging :')

[error404-witch-not-found]

I’m so glad this religion exists and isn’t lost to time. I listened to a hymn to Hermes today and I’m just so overcome with emotions. We worship beautiful gods. Kind gods. Gods who care about us and want us to succeed. I’ve seen so much proof that this religion is real. It blows my mind every time. I adore the gods I worship. I live for them. And I would die for them. This religion is so much more than I could ever ask for. It’s such a great honor to worship the gods.

[melinoestale]

I'm begging with my knees on the ground STOP THINKING THE GODS AS THEY'RE IN THEIR MYTHS

[whatrealbeautylookslike]

hera still loves polyamorus people

aphrodite still loves aroace people

zeus still loves people who are scared of thunder

poseidon still loves people who can't swim

apollo still loves people who aren't musical

helios still loves people who sunburn easily

artemis still loves people who aren't virgins

persephone still loves people who are allergic to pollen

hades still loves people who are afraid of death

athena still loves people who aren't academic

ares still loves people who don't like to be angry

hephaestus still loves people who can't craft things

being who you are is not offensive to the gods. they still love you.

[melinoestale]

not shade or hate to OP, but this is what I'm talking about when I say that people only see queen Persephone as a flower girl. study her, understand her, open your eyes to her nature to find out she is in fact a dreadful goddess of change.
