Hello! I'm Leo, a follower of Apollon, Dionysos, and Hermes! This is my religious blog (though I accidentally reblog non-related things a lot), so enjoy!

If you're curious, the first Deity I worshipped was Lord Apollon, and I feel closest to Him specifically. I'm still trying to build connections with other Deities, though!

My practice is a bit messy right now as I learn how to balance practicing and handling life. My faith isn't dying, though, that's for sure. I know the Gods have my back, no matter what.

Enjoy the blog! Khaire!

In my mind Apollon asked Hades to bring Hyacinthus back and gave him ambrosia at some point after the myth

In my mind Hyacinthus lives with Apollon forever 💜

y'all will circlejerk yourself to the mysticisms of faeries and elves in european countries for centuries and take it as fact but the second native americans ask you to respect our spirituality and culture suddenly you're all aetheists

[colossalfauna-moved-deactivated]

non natives can, should, and will reblog this.

Biggest fuck-up ever is that people have to pay to become doctors

[howmanyholesinswisscheese]

Like unironically we should be subsidising at least 50% of their educations. What do you mean we have a shortage of doctors we should have surplus. What do you mean they’re being overworked they should be treated like royalty, they can fix human bodies

[howmanyholesinswisscheese]

I don’t care if some of them are only doing it for the money. I don’t care if all of them are only doing it for the money. Intentions don’t matter to the stitches in my nana’s leg or the ten billion other lifesaving treatments we all get at a detriment to their finances and mental wellbeing. Entire cities are kept alive by just a couple thousand of them what are we DOINGGGGG

[naamahdarling]

If we had more, maybe it would be easier to get the shitty ones fucking replaced. The board isn't going to do much to the only endocrinologist in the state who takes Medicaid, you know? But if there were more than, idk, maybe 5? Maybe then?

[landunderthewave]

More importantly if you needed less money and less physical stamina to become a doctor, people with less money and less physical stamina could become doctors, which would increase diversity and improve patient care.

Couldn't tell you if i like this or not but whatever,

🌈 Iris concept

[khaire-traveler]

Hellenic Polytheist version of Christmas where Dionysus' birth is celebrated through singing and dancing by firelight. People drink wine, dance in various animal masks crowned with ivy, and shake their thyrsos to the god. To keep warm, they light a bonfire and throw in symbolic items representing their worries/problems, showing them letting the problems go. After three days (representing the three times Dionysus lives) of different forms of celebration pass, everybody spends an evening resting and telling stories about the year - good and bad.

Dionysus rides in a flying chariot with eight leopards, all crowned with ivy (and sometimes a ninth leopard with glowing eyes at the front, depending on what you believe). He gives wine and delicious food to those who were good throughout the year but leaves strangely ominous objects to those who were bad (one half of a pair of scissors, rotten grapes, a disembodied lion head, etc.).

If only my ideas could be brought into reality; it would be so fun. 😮‍💨😔

[laurelsandteacups]

what i'm too young for wine?

[khaire-traveler]

He gives you specially made fruit juice instead. 💜

Pagan writers when talking about female deities: "They're a mother goddess"

Pagan writers when talking about male deities: "Well, their role and function is a lot more complicated and important than just just being a father god, and here's a 10k word essay discussing why they're more than just a father god"

[homewardskies]

OOOOO I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS

This is what originally turned me away from Wicca (among other reasons). So many books, blogs, and other resources seem to have so much built-in misogyny that it boggles my mind.

It's part of why I hate the invention of the "Mother-Maiden-Crone" archetype so much.

No, Hekate is not MMC. She is a powerful force of sorcery and liminality. No, the Morrigan is not MMC. She is a Goddess of bloodshed, mercy, and power.

Reducing such multi-faceted entities, such influential spirits, down to the box that patriarchal systems tried to fit them in is so disrespectful.

Freya, Frigg, Aphrodite, Hekate, Athena, etc. Do many Goddesses have aspects of fertility, nurturing, parenthood? Yeah, they do, just like Zeus, Ares, and Njordr. Is that all they are? Is that even the core of what they influence? Not always.

Immediate red flag if any book you're reading only has Goddesses in the footnotes, as mothers.

[ashleysjourney]

Very well said 🙏

[ruusverd]

I will start taking Maiden-Mother-Crone seriously when male deities start being assigned Boy-Father-Geezer.
