What to put in your hellenic journal and why it helps

Building a kharis with gods using a religious journal is really helpful. It helped me keep my information and my thoughts related to the Gods organized. It can also help beginners if they are uncomfortable reciting hymns out loud.

What could be put inside it:

Every day write one delphic maxim and write how you interpret it or what you think about it

Make a shopping list for your altar and offerings

Compose prayers

Hymns/ prayers to your patrons and Hestia, Nyx, Helios, Hypnos

Write something as if you are conversating with the Gods.

Important information on deities

Favorite offerings, incenses, and libations of the Gods

Important Callendar events, festivals, and key info on celebration

Quotes from the most famous books of Gods that you relate to or want to remember

Instructions on composing prayers

What afterlife means in Hellenismos

What defines hubris, agos and miasma

7 pillars of Hellenismos and their meaning

Do some drawings for the Gods as a devotional act

Include your personal experiences with the divine and how it affected you

Write down the signs you saw during the week

You can also decorate it with the images of Gods

Delphic Maxims:

Just to clarify, if anyone who follows this blog doesn’t stand with Palestine, you aren’t welcome here. This isn’t a political blog, but this isn’t a politic issue. It’s a human rights issue. Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸

May Loki watch over the children of Palestine, and the young college kids who had the strength and the guts to speak on what's right. If you can't save them... bring them comfort.

May Apollo aid the ill and injured, may he guide the medics trying with every fiber of their being to save lives.

May Artemis hear the cries of a mother or daughter and give them the inner strength to keep on going.

Hellenism has certainly improved my life I can thank the theoi for improving my life and making me more productive with the fact that Hermes is helping me write, Dio is helping me at work, Aristaeus is helping me learn more about bees, and Athena is helping me learn.

They also have been improving my mental health as I don’t think I have been in a good plan mentally for a lot of my life, but as they bring so much joy to my life they have certainly been the light in dark times.

They have also been making me a better person. I am not saying I was a terrible person but they have helped me smooth out my rough edges, so I have much to thank for them.

The theoi are amazing and I love them all. May the gods be with you all. I still get down times but that is just life. Since I began as a Hellenist I can say my life has improved in many ways.

those tiny harmless lies to narrowly escape getting into trouble with your parents or anyone else and then apologizing to the gods for being a bit untruthful but knowing that sometimes, Lord Hermes secretly condones it and is proud of how cheeky you are... yeah <3

Ok but my worship is very lazy.

Don’t think you need to have a massive altar or a million offerings to be a ‘good’ devotee. Just do your best, do what you can, it’s the thought and thanks that counts.

I’m a very routine stuck person (thanks autism), so I can’t change my routines without immense stress. If I want to go out of my way to do a big offering or something alike, I need to plan and prepare for weeks and have it scheduled and be mentally prepared for my routine to change even if it’s only for an hour or two. So my worship is mainly documenting my dreams when I remember them, going to bed on time and keeping good sleep hygiene, making sure the altar is clean and lighting the candles and incense when I remember. Talking to him, quick and easy prayers, things I can do before bed really.

Would it be super fun to have like a whole festival sleepover party? Absolutely. But I couldn’t do it 24/7.

Just do what you can, what your mind and body allows. If you’re chronically ill or neurodiverce etc, don’t push yourself too hard. Again, it’s the thought that counts. Do what you can and make sure you say thank you when you can. And to be fair, Hypnos is the perfect deity for the always tired and forgetful gang.
