For the past few years I've gotten off track with my faith. The world ending was a pretty big, disheartening, distraction.

But I've felt the need to come back, and I'm basically starting from scratch. I've missed the gods, I've missed seeing the divine in all things, I've missed being a better person.

So, back to basics.

Would anyone be interested if I made a discord server for Hellenic Polytheists? Like, just so we can hang out and vibe, and maybe organize some activities for different festivals/holidays/etc? I know there's already a couple out there, but most of the ones I've seen aren't super active.

I also think it would be cool to have resources for new worshippers, and for them to have a place to go to to ask questions and get quick answers.

I don't know, its something that's been on my mind.

Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.

Praise the Theoi by showing your friends and family how much you love them. The Theoi show you love now return the favor by showing that love to the world.
