-- About Me --

Hiii!! I just wanted to make this since I just started my account! This is going to be my little journal about my experiences since I have to keep my religion a secret.. sorry about the spam 😭🙏

-- basic info --

Name: Lia

Pronouns: she/her/hers

Age: 19 years old.

Zodiac: aquarius

Personality Type: INFJ-T

Ethnicity: Latina & white

- currently a college film student !

- I have anxiety & I'm not the best with social cues!! So please understand if I respond oddly 🙏😭

-- My past within polytheism --

- I have worshipped Greek / Norse deities on and off for a year.. struggled with religious guilty for a while. However, I feel more free from said guilt. I won't say I am completely free as Christianity has been drilled into my brain from a very young age.

- started out with Aphrodite late 2023.. took a break.. then began to worship Loki & Freyja in February 2024 on & off. Again guilt. However, I will say I was unable to do much research due to fear & lack of ability to do so (school stuff). So I won't say that those are good examples of experience.

- however, I felt Apollo calling to me (no not TikTok fyp), so it has drawn me to FINALLY truly allow myself to dive within the religion that I have felt super drawn to.. bear with me, it still feels incredibly new and fresh.

- I still live with my religious family so I am forced to worship in secret. My altars are hidden to prevent them from getting found. 💔

~~ random fun facts ~~

- I am a super nerd. Like I LOVE marvel, comic books, anime, manga, kpop, etc..

- my favorite marvel characters are Loki, Wanda, Deadpool, wolverine.. and MANY more.

- I'm a major 'The Simpsons' fan! My favorite character is Lisa & Krusty the clown.

- I actually make edits on TikTok! Mainly marvel stuff!

- I play video games (fortnite, sims 4, etc) quite often, so if you have recommendations in relation to the deities, lmk!!

- ironically enough, growing up Greek mythology & the Hercules Disney movie was everything for me. I was OBSESSED. Pegasus & Meg were my favorite characters.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I need some friends who are also within this religion, so pleaseeee dm me if you're around my age!! I'd love to chat!

(? I'm not sure if that's how this app works.. I'm still new. sorry 😭).

I'm so confused rn. Ever since I became very spiritual, I started having very vivid premonition dreams. I've always had vivid dreams and I used to have a dream journal.

I've had instances where I could tell my sister EXACTLY what she was going to tell me and how she is currently thinking about grabbing my guitar.. WHICH she never does. I only knew because she grabbed it in the dream. She said that I was freaking her out and was concerned.

My dream will match the moment perfectly down to the conversation. It's wild.

Idk if this is correlated but this all started more frequently after I saw a dark haired woman spirit (felt very goddess-like) appear late one night.

I tried researching it but everything was like "oh you're just gaslighting yourself"... Which I know I'm not because my dreams are very vivid and I constantly talk about them to others.

Any advice? Could this be deity-related?

⚠️ hellenic polytheists and espically zeus devotees, please beware of this organization and site. they used to go by "joy of satan", and they are a neo-nazi, racist, fascist, antisemitic group who now "worship zeus", which they believe to be another name of satan.

please don't rely on any information you get from them and refrain from using their sites or forums.

Wait omg. Is it normal for an ex situationship to come back to your life after you mentioned finding a lover to Aphrodite and freyja?? I mean, a type of guy that hasn't messaged me once and never spoke to me since kind of guy so that's why I'm so confused.

I told Aphrodite TODAY that I trust her judgement in attracting the proper attention from people that would be good for me romantically. I also mentioned some romantic relationships to freyja a week ago (can't remember exactly)....

Mind you, they both warned me against him when I was into him then... So I'm confused why he suddenly came back so fast..? If I sound stupid, lmk cuz I am unaware if Aphrodite would stick her nose into this like that.

The whole rapture thing killed me. It was so scary to see people so deep in this madness of the rumor of it happening but such a funny thing to witness unfold on tiktok. Now can you imagine pagans spreading that Loki was attacking Asgard and that's why everything was going to shit. Also that soon everything will die? Literally what happened before last Tuesday but *Christian version*

Life is so silly.

"I asked chatGPT" "I asked Grok" Have you tried asking Lady Athena, Goddess of wisdom? I'm sure she'd give you a better answer than AI ever will.

Happy Friday!!! 🐈💖💘

I have been getting a lot of signs from Freyja & Aphrodite. Like, oddly, I have seen a lot more hawks than normal. A lot more.

I hope she's approving of the guy im talking to🙏🙏

[vanillashay]

Happy Friday!! 💘💖💌

I recently got a mini Venus de Milo statue and she's so beautiful on my shelf!! Honestly, I was getting a lot of signs from Aphrodite... Like ladybugs and others symbolism... Let's hope it's her approving of the guy I'm talking to. 🙏🫶

You can’t be anti immigrant and worship Zeus

Louder.

In my art history class, we are finally focusing on Greek art. There's a whole section in our book about the temple for Apollo in Delphi. I love it. It's so much fun learning about them in class.

Happy Valentine's Day 💌

Happy Valentine's Day! Happy Friday! Happy Venus day! I decided to make a cute little Valentine's themed collage for Aphrodite & Freyja! I've been waiting for Valentine's Day solely to celebrate Aphrodite and Freyja.

Digital Offering to Apollo(n)

Made this as I would greatly appreciate Apollo's assistance in helping my dog heal as she is very sick right now.

Also, recently I got a bunch of sun earrings, rings, and other things as little devotional objects to lord Apollo 🙏🏻

Happy Freyja Day 🐈🩷

For my birthday, I got a necklace with the tree of Yggdrasil as a way for the Norse gods I worship to be with me symbolically, especially Freyja & Loki!! I love it.

[vanillashay]

Happy Aphrodite Day 💖

Decided to make this while doing some art history work. I cannot wait till I get my painting of Aphrodite and ares!! The amount of excitement I have over this painting is insane.

[vanillashay]

Omggg so tomorrow is my birthday!!!! And I'm getting a print of this painting for my room, I even picked out a very pretty frame for it! I'm very excited!!!!

I'm going to do some tarot tonight and pray to the gods as well as do some celebratory stuff! Then this weekend, I'm going to a nearby museum to some replica Greek statues!!

[vanillashay]

Happy Apollo Day!!! 🌻🌞

I recently was able to paint whatever I wanted, so obviously I painted for Apollo and I made a painting of the sun with a wreath on it... To show resemblance to Lord Apollo, it's similar to the one in the center image of the collage.

🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆

origin:

apollo's name is likely not greek, the origins are hard to find because the earliest evidence of apollo we have is in the iliad, which is written after the greek dark ages. however, his name might have come from the luwian word Apaliunas, meaning hunter, this ties him to artemis!

this also means he came from another region, like his myth, where he joined olympus from somewhere else

🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆

appearance:

according to orpheus, he has golden hair.

often shown with dark skin, as shown by this image from pompeii, 1st century AD

fate of niobe, where artemis and apollo killed niobe's children for her act of hubris.

building the walls of troy with poseidon.

trojan war, read the iliad.

(notable) lovers:

something to note before i say more, apollo does not have a 'sad love life', he is unmarried on his own choice. carry on.
