#hellenic titans

[theoi-of-olympus]

Never take a Hellenic polytheist to a museum, they’ll spend all their time staring at the Greek statues…

So here are some pictures I took at the V&A today!

Temple of Bacchus, I was staring at this for a good 5 minutes

The 3 graces, they didn’t have the large one but I still loved seeing these (I actually got a pin and postcard of the usual statue that I love)

The sitting Venus, love love love it I wanted to just sit in front of it for hours

Eros and Psyche

Psyche by herself

Diana, missing her bow sadly

Zephyr and Flora, for the few Zephyr worshippers I see here

Apollo flaying Marsyas

Thetis dipping Achilles in the river Styx

The best photo I took today, it had depictions of Apollon, Zeus and some other gods around the room and was lovely

A quick picture of Lady Asteria’s section on my altar. It’s not massive but I love it and I think she does too <3

I finally found a statue I like for lady Mnemosyne, so here’s her little area

hey! i stumbled upon your blog looking at the hellenism tag :]

i’ve always felt a connection to hellenism for years and truly is the only thing that feels right and constant to me, but i have no idea where i can start a practice/incorporate it into my life. i want to read and learn more about personal practice, but i feel really lost!

sorry if this is a bother!!

Hi there! It’s no bother!

I’d start by looking into each of the gods, theoi.com is a great starting point and has the majority of historical myths on it (it also has titans, heroes and other Ancient Greek related info). This is mainly just to get a bit of starting knowledge in a simple way, other wise it can be a bit overwhelming with all the different gods. This might also lead you to any gods you particularly want to focus on (not devote or anything in the beginning, but maybe you’re a student so lady Athena or Mnemosyne are important to you or it can be totally random, for me it’s lord Apollon and lady Asteria).

After this you can decide how you want your worship to go, and it’s going to be trial and error in the beginning so don’t worry! You might want to start with small devotional acts or offerings (like a portion of your dinner or going for a walk). Who you devote/offer these too is personal. I try to do a range (study related things to Athena or Mnemosyne, health to Apollon or Asclepius, etc) but it’s taken me a while to get to this point (I mainly just devoted things to Apollon in the beginning).

Lots of people post prayers they’ve written but there’s also historical ones you may like to look at (e.g. Orphic hymns) I’ve found this prayer structure/schedule good, but it might be a bit overwhelming (and I’m not great at following it myself)

Resources you might want relating to worship or just original sources will usually have free pdf’s online, but they can be a bit difficult to find. I’m in a few discord groups that have channels for pdfs (hearthfire house & the Raven Masters keep I’m not sure how good/active these links are so message me if you want them and they don’t work) and are also good for talking to other worshippers.

I’m not sure how useful this will be to you, but I hope it helps a bit! If you have any other questions feel free to ask!

I love worshipping the titans so much but I hate how few statues there are, I like to find their representations through other statues but I always feel bad whenever I’m using a one of another god…

I need to find more pagan/polytheistic small businesses in the UK, I’ve been trying to find some but they’re all in the USA

May Lady Hekate guide us through death with her flaming torches

Buying myself a silly little treat (a new deity statue) for being the bravest soldier (I have a little cold)
