I am a Hellenic Polytheist, and this blog was created as a space where I can post my moodboards and interact with other helpols!
Moodboards may be requested, but must include a transliteration (ex. Μητηρ (Mater)) even if you want the title in greek (which I will happily do!). Self-made epithets can be requested, but a translation in english is needed.

(including what I am comfortable/uncomfortable with people asking me)

I mainly worship Athena, Hermes, Hekate, Selene, Tyche, and Aphrodite, though I have set up small spaces for various other greek deities as well, them being Demeter, Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Hestia, Dionysus, Ares, Apollo, Eurus, and Kirke.
As of this post, I have been a helpol for about 3 years!

Key tags (some posts may be missing tags that they should have, given the below description. This is because I forget things.)
Hound Speaks
- any posts with actual text in them other than the usual moodboard descriptors, like responding to questions. Sometimes included if I'm yapping in the tags.
- any posts mentioning deities or my practice, including text posts.
*deity name* ex: Persephone
- any posts referencing the deity, most commonly moodboards but could include a post if I'm answering questions about them in some way.

What if I don't know if you're okay with answering my question?
Ask anyway! Worst come to worst I will simply delete your ask. No harm done.
Do you use AI?
no.
Can I request a moodboard of a greek deity?
Absolutely! I'd prefer if you included some kind of epithet, but it isnt a requirement. :)
Can I request a moodboard of a deity that isnt greek?
no.
Can I request a moodboard of a nymph/hero/royal/other from greek mythology?
yea, If theyre featured in at least one greek myth, it's likely i'll do a moodboard for them. I may decline if theres not much info on them, or if i just don't feel comfortable with the request. I will do moodbaords for anyone if it's a joint moodboard with a deity, though. (ex: Athena + Odysseus, Apollo + Hyancinthus, etc.)
Can I ask you about recommendations or info about Hellenic Polytheism?
It depends. I won't answer broad questions like "who is ___" or "what does ___ mean". Stuff you can search up on a dime. I will answer questions like "where did you find ___" or "do you know any deities associated with ___" or "do any other deities share the ___ epithet?" Stuff that might take a bit more time to answer.
Can I ask you about your practice?
yes, though I may not answer if it happens to be something I don't want to share. :)
Can I ask you about controversies or your stance on certain topics?
no.
Can I ask you about topics unrelated to Hellenic Polytheism?
no.
Will you ever create a masterpost for your moodboards, answers to asks, etc?
probably not. It's just not feasible. I've made so many lol.
do you think your could do an oceanic aphrodite moodboard with motifs of pearls, seafoam, and shells? (and maybe-if its not to much to ask: with a lightly blue, coral and white color pallet?)
