Sundrop Lyre

He/Him, 20 Hellenic Pagan! I love to learn, and I mostly post reblogs. Devoted to Pan + Selene + Helios + Apollo

Hello, I am Milo, and this is my religious blog!

Hellenic Polytheist focused, although I do get a little bit more general. I tend to reblog more on deities i'm more dedicated too, but I do branch out occasionally.

Enjoy!

The sea is a temple. The woods are a temple. Your own bedroom is a temple. The world is imbued with the spiritual. Worship is an act, not a place, and it can happen spontaneously, in reaction to the beauty of a moment.

Friendly reminder that spirituality isn't a replacement for science, technology, and modern medicine but something that coexist with it in beautiful ways.

psst... it's okay to call yourself religious if you're pagan. there's a lot of people who prefer spiritual over religious in this community, and that's okay! but if you want to call paganism a religion, you have every right to, and anyone attacking you for that is weird

Genuinely, I think pagans would benefit from researching the religion & culture their deities come from. Only reading books about Aphrodite is a good start, but you need that sweet, sweet cultural context.

I have such a problem with those witchcraft books who use a "deity soup" approach--they just list a bunch of deities for you to work with in spellwork, instead of encouraging you to foster connections with a handful. A blót for Thor is not going to be the same as a libation for Zeus. Sure your spell may fall under that god's domain, but does it follow Their cultural values?

Do your research and find out.

spirits don't have to be your friend. the rock in your backyard doesn't have to behave like a human or be useful to you to deserve respect. there is inherent value in loving the web of spirits that surrounds us without asking what they can do for us.

Two 1,600-year-old lead curse tablets in the Museo Archeologico Civico di Bologna were recently deciphered, and one of them turns out to be the first known surviving curse directed at a Roman senator.

It starts with a dramatic drawing of a snake-headed deity, possibly Hekate, underworld goddess of crossroads, sorcery and necromancy (among other things), with her arms crossed and a star carved over her groin. Although her name is not mentioned, the phrasing of the invocation is similar to other curses that enlist Hekate to their dark cause. The crossed arms symbolize the binding of the deity to the curse. The goddess will remain bound until its terms are fulfilled.

“May Fistus dilute, languish, sink and may all his limbs dissolve …”

A bracelet that I made to be used as pocket prayer beads.

They're not traditional when it comes to Hellenic Polytheism, but they make it easier for me to focus on my prayer.

Witchcraft and paganism can seem so complicated but genuinely most of it is just this

[carissimuspuer]

Spent some time this morning preparing an offering in thanks as I asked Hermes, Apollon, and Athena to help me with writing an essay I had due. It's been a long time since I've done that - with food offerings at least - and I forgot how nice it is.

[community-gardenss]

they still say your name.

It is raining at the moment. Ignore my poor yellow flowers it is very temporary.
