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 ^-^

Khaire, Apollo Musagetes! Patron of the arts, son of the heavenly Zeus and the gentle-natured Leto, with the works of art I have dedicated to you, grant me the inspiration to create more in your name. Guide my hand across the canvas and allow your golden beauty to be reflected in the sight. I pray to you for the gift of the arts to be enjoyed and celebrated, to have my work spoken with reverence. Warm-hearted and gifted Phoebus, hear my prayer and look kindly upon me and know how I praise and honor you so.

Play with your pets; spend time with them

Keep your pet healthy; feed them good food, take them on regular walks/exercise them, keep them up to date on vaccines, etc.

Do something fun and new with your partner (or alone); try something exciting or scary that you've always wanted to try

On paganism and rules

Lately I've been seeing on Tumblr a series of posts that made me realise we're in a much individualistic (and hubris filled) society that I originally thought. These are just my thoughts as someone who sincretises Hellenic and Roman practices, so any debate in the comments is welcome, just as long as you're disrespectful.

I think a lot of people, mostly because of Abrahamic propaganda, think that the pagans religions are rule-less. That we can do whatever we want. I think this is why a lot of people that were raised in very strict Abrahamic households then change to paganism thinking this is the complete opposite and they can do whatever they want.

This is far from the truth. While we may not have a series of commandments or very strict rules, in modern Hellenismos there's a series of pillars we have to follow, one of them being Sophia (seeking wisdom).

Yesterday I saw someone say that you don't need to read the myths, as that's just “UPG from the past”. How do you plan on pursuing wisdom and knowledge when you can't even bring yourself to read the stories of your religious ancestors? How will you get to know the culture your religion comes from? How will you get to know the symbolism associated with each god throughout different territories? What separates you from a Lore Olympus fan?

When I see things like these I can't help but think that they come from people who don't wanna make the effort to learn. I see it as not wanting to step out of your comfort zone. I'm no revivalist, as I believe doing things exactly as they did it 2000 years ago is counterproductive in today's society. But I also see these acts as evidence of this individualistic society we live in and how it's infiltrating religious practices. I'm guilty of this myself too. But I think if we wanna change something in our personal practice or we wanna change a practice to fit into our daily lives, we also need to learn why our religious ancestors did things the way they did it. We need to stop calling everything “valid” because if everything is valid then that validity has no worth.

So in conclusion:

What happens when you have a abusive/toxic ex and bad experiences with a few friends and then youve been really stressed about all the memories youve found on your phone from a not so great time

You ask the gods for help and it goes by super fast and is super painless and easy

Dont forget you can lean on the gods, im stubborn though and often dont realize i can go for help until i am in crisis but TAAAADAAAA✨✨✨✨✨

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!

THIS TEMPLE IS ANTI TERF/RADFEM/GENDER CRITICAL

There is a large TERF issue in hellenism communities, I'm not sure why considering how pro trans hellenism is, but I do want to say that no TERFS are welcome to The Temple of Hypnos. You're telling me Hypnos would support people who deny others their dreams? Hypnos would support terfs who bring harm and stress to trans people like me? Don't make me laugh. You're an insult to all hellenics, may you never rest and may you never dream

Quick reminder for both new pagans and experienced pagans: it's normal to not always feel a deity's presence, and it's normal even if you never feel their presence. You're not doing anything wrong.

🌊 Subtle Charybdis Worship 🕳️

Visit the beach or a body of water

Learn to sail, kayak, or paddle board

Go swimming; go to hot springs

Get a candle that reminds you of him (no altar needed)

Wear jewelry that reminds you of him

Keep a picture of him in your wallet

Collect seashells, dried coral, shark teeth, fish bones, sea glass, etc.

Try to learn how to dive; go diving in the ocean or a nearby body of water

Explore sea caves; explore nearby caves (on land); do this SAFELY!!!!

Have imagery of the ocean, the deep sea, deep sea creatures, ocean creatures, sea storms, sailing boats (especially ancient Greek boats), or massive aquatic animals/dinosaurs around

Have a stuffed animal of him (if you can find one) or a sea creature (deep sea or not)

Engaging in healthy self -reflection; do not dissect your every weakness, focus on your strengths as well

Taking a shower/bath in darkness or lit by candles (SAFELY!!!)

Pick up trash on the beach, in the ocean, or near a body of water

Support environmental or ocean preservation organizations

Learn about the ocean; learn about the deep sea and its creatures

Get comfortable with the concept of uncertainty; learn to release control of the things you cannot control

Face your fears; do something you've been wanting/needing to but have out off due to fear

Drink water regularly; stay hydrated

Play a deep sea exploration video game (Subnautica comes to mind)

Assert your boundaries; make it clear when someone has overstepped them

Release that which no longer serves you, people included

Make a list of all the times you've overcome adversity in your life, big or small; remind yourself of your strength (alternatively, make a list of your strengths)

Make a paper list of all the people or things you wish to overcome; soak the paper, let it crumble; dispose of the remains

Place a cup, jar, bowl, etc. of ocean/salt water on your windowsill at night, especially on a new moon

Once every month (not too often), wash your face and hands with ocean/salt water

Think of outside the box solutions to problems

Work on forgiving yourself of past mistakes; learn from them rather than hold them against yourself

Learn to accept both the dark and light parts of yourself; everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and that's not inherently bad

Keep a diary; express your emotions in it, both positive and negative; keep track of how you're feeling, be sure to take care of yourself

Get some hard work done; things you've been putting off, strenuous tasks you need to do, a hobby that requires some elbow grease, etc.

-

This one was pretty challenging, I won't lie. Charybdis represents adversity - an obstacle Odysseus must face in order to return home to Ithaca. Due to this, I feel worshipping him would involve overcoming adversities and taking pride in how far you've come. I'll likely add more to this list later on as more ideas come to me, but for now, this will be my list of discreet ways to worship the monster Charybdis. Take care, everyone, and may you always find the strength within yourself to keep moving forward. 💜
