Hey yall just a reminder Ecosia exists and has an app and plants trees from people using it. I’m currently using the app to look up stuff related to Hellenic mythology. Idk I personally feel it’s like a little extra help for the earth and in that way a part of my practice to use my learning to help the planet.
You ever just asked a god to chill with you and hang out while you do something? To share in your coffee or tea? Or try whatever drink concoction you made this time with you? To game with you? To just enjoy your energy while you do something?
It’s nice to just chill with the gods sometimes, I’m not much of a worship and praise constantly person, but a treat them like wiser more powerful people who might be interested to hear your thoughts while you do something and may enjoy learning that perspective. Sometimes I’ll verbally talk to them while going about my day.
I’ve been following a more earth and universe centered path since I was 14, I have felt calls to work with deities from different pantheons at different points in my practice. I’ve got a bunch of books on mythology and folklore from different regions on kindle that my mom got me, but I’ll be honest the main books that help in my practice have been herbal remedies books, the Crystal Bible books, stuff about the natural world and how we can help the planet.
I respect all paths and am currently starting my research into the Helpol community as that’s where I’m drawn and have been for a while. If anyone has any recommendations for books I should get please feel free to pop them in the replies, I’m most drawn to Lord Hades and Lady Persephone and have been for a while. I do already know that theoi.com is a common reference in Helpol posts, I haven’t seen hellenicfath.com mentioned as of yet but that’s one I’ve found and have open on Ecosia right now.
So obviously I can (and likely will if it bothers me long enough) look into the lore and reasonings for this to the best of my ability but I just randomly thought of Heracles or Herakles and I have some questions.
1) who decided it was a good idea for the affair child to have a name honoring the wife of the man/god you’re having an affair child with?
2) what on Gaia’s green earth made them think that was a smart idea?
Like oh yea I just had this kid with a god, better name the kid after the Goddess Wife™ of same god, who is also the goddess of marriage. That’s a brilliant idea 🤦🏼♀️ no wonder Herc went through so much. But answers, thoughts, comments, opinions welcome below!
So I’ve been grieving for the last month and been floating in my depression. I think of my depression like an ocean so the fact it’s been just floating instead of sinking or falling into the abyss is a win for me.
Today I was able to shower, reset my altar space, pray to Hades and Persephone, and clean some of my depression space in my living room.
It’s small progress but it’s still progress.
I know I should talk to Lord Hades and Lady Persephone about what I’m going through. The feelings heavy on my heart. I know I’ll feel better when I do, they feel like parental figures for me. I know I’ll be comforted. I’m just not ready to face it like that yet.
Just a reminder y’all know you don’t only have to give traditional offerings right? Sometimes the gods like trying new flavors and the modern world has given us many ways to do that. I like giving offerings of my favorite snacks and wines I’m trying that may be unusual or something the ancient world/region didn’t have. Sometimes they like it, sometimes they don’t, but either way they seem to appreciate the intention most of all.
Idk I’ve lately been going to sleep mentally talking to lord Hypnos about what I can remember from my dreams and certain dream themes I’ve been having lately and my thoughts on them. Not asking for anything usually except last night I asked that he wait a while before including splicers into any of my nightmares because right now they’re pissing me the fuck off in bioshock.
