My name is Cari, welcome to my tumblr! I'm 27, use she/her pronouns, an Apollo devotee, and practice Hellenism. The last two make up the majority of what is posted here, and the rest are other lovely things <3

About Hellenism
This is the religion of the ancient greek gods, such as Zeus and Aphrodite, and many others. There are a few things worth mentioning about the subject on this tumblr:
• The discussion of hellenism on here is strictly religious, not fandom
• This tumblr is godspouse friendly
• This is the tumblr of a religious person, not a religion focused tumblr (though religion is 80% of the content)
I am happy to discuss the religion and my experiences with any adult who desires to do so! I'm not shy, and I'll message first if you have on your tumblr that you want to make friends in the hellenic polytheist community (:
Before You Follow
There will be adult content on here, generally in the form of artistic graphic content, mainly nudity, and heavy discussion topics. Please keep this in mind and make your choices wisely <3
Welcome!
If you made it here, welcome to my tumblr! This is a place that is welcoming to all who want to be here. Please know that I care deeply about you feeling safe here, in the hellenic polytheist community, or as a person who likes being on tumblr. Any sort of bigotry is not tolerated and will result in being blocked and reported.

“The Greek-Egyptian god Serapis likewise was thought to afford protection. On one side of a gem functioning as an amulet, the figure of Zeus Serapis is displayed, with the inscription on the reverse reading nika ho Serapis ton phthonon (“Serapis conquers envy/the Evil Eye”). Another glass amulet is inscribed with words, Me[g] a to onoma Sarapis (“Great is the name of Serapis”). The inscription, Eis Zeus Serapis, Baskanosdarêsetô (“Zeus Serapis is unique, let the Evil Eye be flayed”) protected a house. A similar inscription affixed to a house read, Eis Zeus Serapis, Baskanoslakêsetô (“Zeus Serapis is unique, let the Evil Eye be banished”). The gods provided charis, “generous benefaction,” which was the opposite of baskania and phthonos. Charis originally meant “emanation from God, human, or animal bearing blessing” which was the antithesis of an Evil Eye and envy. The gods effected good fortune through their blessing glance of charis. The eyes of Zeus, Apollo, and the Muses brought light and blessing. Minerva in particular, was considered the goddess of the blessing look, which baskania could not endure.”

hey everyone, i’m here to announce that bronze ingot commissions are now CLOSED. i was dicking around in my forge the other day and found something way cooler & cheaper. more to come soon!!!
Happy pride month to the heathens, the maenads, the men with fingers suited to a lyre, the women who find themselves carrying Sappho’s legacy, the children of Bacchus who need no definition, the androgynous & the Achillian, the followers of Hermaphroditus. May you breathe easily.
🌊 My piece for Volume 3 of Sing, O Muse! Across Wine Dark Seas, which covers scenes from the Trojan War and its aftermath. The zine will be available in July and I highly recommend keeping an eye on the account in readiness for its release. There is SO MUCH gorgeous art inside!
I chose to draw the goddess Thetis beseeching Hephaestus to forge armour for her son Achilles. I think the bond between these two is quite lovely, with Hephaestus feeling indebted to Thetis for helping him in his hour of need, and willingly returning the favour.
