some of you haven’t listened to youth by daughter in a while and it shows.
'And if you’re in love, then you are the lucky one 'cause most of us are bitter over someone setting fire to our insides for fun to distract our hearts from ever missing them. But I’m forever missing him.'
Too traditional for the liberals? Too charitable for the conservatives? You just might be a Catholic!
"not all men" you're right. Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the son of God, would never treat me like this
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate here’s what I received this year! So happy to finally have a statue for the Queen herself, Persephone! 👑🖤💀
Hi! I wanted to ask how you figured everything out at the age of 19? I am a bit older yet feel so lost like I’m missing something, how did you figure out Hellenism is right for you? Thank you! Much love :)
Aw this is so sweet omg 🥹 well, if I'm honest, I still feel pretty lost myself half the time haha!
I think firstly, I'm inclined to look for signs/patterns from the gods and hidden meanings in everything. It's a natural habit of mine I guess lmao. Through my constant sign-seeking, I found myself being drawn to Dionysus more and more, and eventually I was finding his symbolism EVERYWHERE. I just had the feeling it was time to reach out to him, and though at this time I didn't know how to conduct a proper offering to a god, I decided it was better to try my best with what little knowledge I had of Hellenism, than to keep ignoring my gut feeling and the signs I was receiving. So I just lit a purple candle I had, made a libation of cheap merlot, and said 'hey, I hear your call Dionysus. I'm grateful for the signs you've given me. You're welcome in this space, if you'd like to be here'. Nothing super ritualistic, I just wanted to be kind. and I still have no clue *why* this pantheon of gods called to me honestly, this has all been super recent. I always knew the Greek myths, but I never had such a thirst for knowledge of these gods till I met Dionysus. But, in short, Hellenism was right for me because it just came into my life lol. I'm not complaining! This is the happiest I've been in a few years. I'm seeing things shift and synchronicities are happening before my eyes in a way that I've never experienced before in my spiritual journey.
Really, I'm just listening all the time. Paying attention to coincidences. And always searching for gnosis! Noticing how certain myths and dreams make me feel, keeping a dream journal, and jotting down little symbols I notice every day on my notes app have been super helpful.
I really don't believe there's a wrong way to do it. If you feel you're missing something, you should search for what it is. I used to spend a lot of time trying to be perfect at the Whole Spirituality Thing- memorizing tarot cards, spending a ton on things I didn't know how to use, etc... and it didn't help me. I think, it's useful to figure out what it is YOU want out of your practice, and stick to your own needs, because that will make a blueprint of what you prioritize and search for on your journey. Or, if you're in similar shoes as me, sometimes you have to sit back and let the practice speak for itself (lmao)! You don't have to have an answer or belief for everything. It's okay if your answer to some of your own questions is 'I don't know yet.' To me, the unknown is what it's all about. I'm just trying to better understand my own gifts cuz I want to serve my purpose to the fullest :)
Thank you for this question, I hope this helps! Sorry it's so long though!
i love Aphrodite so much. she is so healing to worship, her shrine is my pride and joy!!!! i love to pray to her and honor her, she is truly the best!!!!
I think that Lady Artemis is sending me signs that She wants me to work with Her. I keep seeing moons and I've found myself suddenly attracted to moons and archery. For example, a necklace that I've had for a while that has a moon on it has suddenly felt much more powerful and I've felt drawn to it more than I did before. I think that I will reach out to Lady Artemis and then I will take it from there.
I WISH more people noted the similarities between lord Dionysus and Lady Persephone. They're both gods of death and rebirth (Dionysus was born twice/thrice depending on the tradition; Persephone symbolically dies alongside the plants when she descends into Hades) and they're also gods of fertility and prosperity
Οὐδέ τίς ἐστιν αὐδὴ οὔδ' ἐνοπὴ οὐδὲ κτύπος οὐδὲ μὲν ὄσσα, ἣ λήθει Διὸς οὖας ὑπερμενέος Κρονίωνος
And there is no voice or shout or noise or sound that escapes the notice of the ears of Zeus the very mighty son of Kronos

"join a cult! its fun!!" i just chugged half a bottle of expired wine and then realised what i did. dont fucking do that.
Introduction To Me!
My name is Quill Oliver (Quill is my first name, Oliver is my middle names and I go by Quill or Ollie. I'm agender/transmasc and use he/it/ze pronouns. I am a veiling pagan and wear himation (Headscarf) and tegidion (headscarf and faceveil). Anyone can wear a veil in my religion. I am a fanfic writer for Young Justice and The Magnus Archives. My AO3 is I_Can_Hear_You_Glaring. I do not want to reveal my specific age, but I am a minor.
so i was working out and i lit ares' candle bcuz I like working out as an activity to connect with him, and when i was done and blew out the candle the smoke LITERALLY MADE A HEART
I do think that some ‘cutesy’ UPGs are totally fine and not offensive to the Theoi. Yes, I agree, Hera would absolutely wear Valentino. Of course Apollo would drive a Jeep. Hestia does probably enjoy some spanakopita.
These things are different from the “fanfiction” version of the Theoi, and many of these UPGs are based well in Greek tradition. If evaluating which type of car you think each Olympian would drive gives you a greater understanding of Them, I say go for it.
Eternally grateful for Aphrodite for giving me the ability to absolutely burst at the seams with such unbridled joy and happiness, for blessing me with such beautiful people to share my life and all the love and adoration in very my soul with
Every moment I think about my wife and my crushes and my friends and found family, I'm just overcome and overwhelmed with emotion. Love is such a beautiful feeling and I am so grateful to have such a force like Aphrodite in my life just as much as I'm grateful she's given me so many important people in my life 💗
Veiling Struggles and Overcoming Them
There have been many times, especially recently, where I've thought to myself, "Life would be so much easier for me if I just took off my veil" and the way that I work through that thought is reminding myself of why I chose veiling in the first place and why I continue to do it. Veiling makes me feel powerful and in control of my mind and my body. It is a constant reminder of Lady Hestia, who watches me with pride as I continue to veil through my hardships. It has stuck with me as a reminder of my faith and love of my religion. So to any veiling person of any religion that is struggling, think through why you do it. Blessed be you :)
