Devotional acts? Nah bro, im doing emotional acts.
Crying over how much I love my gf as an emotional act to Aphrodite
Rapid messaging my friends about my many interests as an emotional act to Hermes
Letting myself laugh a little when I’m singing as an emotional act to Apollon

Yesterday my roommate and I were at a local metaphysical store, and I wanted to get crystals to use as stones for my altar to Hermes Propylaios and Apollon Agyeius we keep by the door. I found a sunstone, but it didn’t feel right. I really wanted something in an obelisk shape, similar to the shape of stones dedicated to Apollon Agyeius in ancient times. I picked up a pretty orange obelisk that I felt drawn to; imagine my surprise when the store owner said, “That’s Golden Healer.” Y’all. Apollo picked his own rock.

I begin to sing of Pallas Athena, the glorious goddess, bright-eyed, inventive, unbending of heart, pure virgin, saviour of cities, courageous, Tritogeneia.
Homeric hympn to Athena.

I finally put up my art print of Aristaios (god of beekeeping, but also SO MANY other "rural arts") and I feel so much peace looking at it 🥺 I love him a lot, he deserves this incredible art ^-^

officially my birthday and just wanted to express my gratitude for this little community ❤️
I absolutely love the kindness and support here, and the sharing of knowledge that happens here. Hellenic polytheism is one of the greatest gifts in my life.
I love being able to worship Lord Apollo, Lady Athena, and Lady Aphrodite 🫶 Here’s to 22!

i know this is such a personal thing and it’s very dependent on your relationship with your deities and spirits but i never worry about whether an offering i’ve left has gone cold (specifically coffee or tea) because whenever i make some just for myself and it goes cold, im never upset because like, i LOVE iced coffee and i like my coffee even when its gone cold because i love iced coffee, and the same with tea (im from the south so im used to having cold sweet tea all the time). sometimes ill make myself a coffee in the morning and forget to take it with me to class and i come home and im like sweet some iced coffee that isnt watered down by ice, im glad past me made this for me! i like to think my gods have the same reaction

I can't do this so someone else needs to (please @ me if you do)
Laminate your tarot/oracle cards so you can use them in water as an act of devotion to water deities
Also it would make for really pretty photos. Beautiful tarot cards floating in the water? Yes please

I just want to preface this by saying I know that there are issues surrounding some of these terms, but I also know some people use them
This poll is also mainly for those that worship the Greek pantheon but others are welcome to vote as well!

I’ve seen a lot of people post about going to the gym/work out as a devotional act to ares, but I think it’s also fair to point out that Hermes’ domain includes sport and athletics, so I propose an addition;
Working out / training as a devotional act to Hermes

Casual ways to connect with your deities
-Pray to them or just just talk with them and tell them about your day
-Light a candle and say your thanks
-Offer your meal/snack to them or bake/cook with them or for them
-Watch a movie in their honor
-Offer your morning drink to them or make a cup for them
-Assign them a plant and take care of it as a devotion to them
-Listen to music that reminds you of them
-Say good morning/good night
-Thank them for the things you see that you consider beautiful

I’m so grateful for my beautiful altar space, but I’m missing my first altar something fierce today. It was just a cereal bowl and a candle, but it was where I met the gods for the first time.

Low Energy Devotional Activities and Ways to Connect with the Gods
Let's be honest, religion and consistent practice can be HARD, especially when you're chronically ill, disabled, mentally ill or neurodivergent. This is a list of lower energy practices you can do to connect with your Gods when you're having a rough day.
Pray. You don't have to say the prayer. You don't have to do the full cleansing and offering. Just think about the prayer. It could be as simple as "'Deity Name', thank you. I'm thinking of you and appreciate you."
Dedicate any self care you do to the Gods. You've got to take meds? awesome. it's now a devotional activity.
If you can, light a tea light candle. You can think about who you're dedicating it to as you're lighting it.
Tell them about your day. Have a simple conversation with them (again, this can be in your head if needed).
Offer some water! Water is a great offering if you don’t have the energy to cook, collect or buy something.
Incense is also a great offering because you can light it then forget about it and your house won’t burn down (if you follow regular safety measures). 
Resting. Your deities want you to be okay. Dedicating your rest to your deities is especially great if you feel guilty for allowing yourself time to heal.
Turn on a video of someone reading mythos! 
Put on a deity playlist. There are plenty of pre-made ones on Spotify. 
Veil or bind your hair! Whenever I’m low energy I’ll throw my hair in a ponytail and bind it that way. It doesn’t have to be extravagant. 
Make a Pinterest board for them!
Post on a digital altar! There are plenty of discord servers that have digital altars and temples. You could also make a devotional Tumblr blog. 
Change your phone lock/home screen to something that reminds you of your Deity.
I hope this is helpful to anyone who needs it! Take care of yourself first and foremost. If you don't think you can manage something on this list then thats perfectly fine too! you're not a bad person for not being able to do something spiritual or religious. Ultimately, these things are not a necessity. Don't stress :)

I'll never get over that person who insisted that you shouldn't offer sex/orgasms to Aphrodite bc it's is miasmic. I hope you also don't involve Artemis with childbirth, Hera and Zeus with weddings, or pray to Hermes to help the dead pass over, bc I have some bad news for you...
