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.

✨Incorrect Greek Mythology Quotes✨

[god-blog]

I’m starting a tag game!

People are always saying they need more witchy/pagan mutuals so I thought this would be a fun way to find them while getting to talk about your practice!

Who, if anyone, was the first deity(s) you worked with?

Hermes was the first deity that I made the conscious decision to worship though I had always been drawn to paganism. I made a tiny altar, devotional drawings, playlists, and a journal to him. I quickly added Athena and Apollo after that, but it became too overwhelming, and I got burnt out. I stopped practicing for about four years until I started again this year.

Who, if anyone, is the deity(s) you’re working with now?

Artemis was the one who reached out to me this time. She had been sending me a bunch of incredibly obvious signs that took me abt six months to finally notice (my bad lol) but I'm very happy with her now. Athena has also been more present, whereas she was more in the background the first time I tried Hellenism, and now she sits with me at work. Hermes dips in and out and Apollo's the one who's been more in the background. I would like to strengthen my relationship with them because I miss them.

What’s your favorite aspect of your practice? (Ex: doing tarot, celebrating holidays, casting spells, etc)

I like getting things for my altar. It makes me so happy knowing that my gods will like whatever I'm getting; I love getting presents for ppl I care abt. I haven't collected everything into one central altar yet but I'm very excited for when I do.

What’s something you want to get better at?

I want to get better at tarot. I've been doing it for a few years now but I'm still 100% reliant on the guidebook the cards came with and am not very good at making my own interpretations. I'm hoping I'll get better at it with time but it has been quite a while...

my altar to Athena - 22.07.24

Lady Athena

Lady Pallas Athena, goddess of war, good counsel, and wisdom, protector of cities

[citrineandrosmarin]

Interesting how Athena was a goddess of cunning/practical intelligence and skill, but in modern times she's viewed as a goddess of knowledge with a more scholarly kind of intelligence, which was more Apollon's thing.

I begin to sing of Pallas Athena, the glorious goddess, bright-eyed, inventive, unbending of heart, pure virgin, saviour of cities, courageous, Tritogeneia. Wise Zeus himself bare her [5] from his awful head, arrayed in warlike arms of flashing gold, and awe seized all the gods as they gazed. But Athena sprang quickly from the immortal head and stood before Zeus who holds the aegis, shaking a sharp spear: great Olympus began to reel horribly [10] at the might of the bright-eyed goddess, and earth round about cried fearfully, and the sea was moved and tossed with dark waves, while foam burst forth suddenly: the bright Son of Hyperion stopped his swift-footed horses a long while, until the maiden Pallas Athena [15] had stripped the heavenly armour from her immortal shoulders. And wise Zeus was glad.

And so hail to you, daughter of Zeus who holds the aegis! Now I will remember you and another song as well.

La Danse Triomphale de Pallas Athénée

Statue of Athena in Paris. She is also supposed to be holding a spear in her hands

[yanny09]

recently learning to embrace some negative traits (TO A HEALTHY LEVEL OKAY??? IVE BEEN REPRESSING MYSELF IN ORDER TO BECOME "GOOD" AND ITS TIME WE ACCEPT OUR FLAWS SO HERES MINE) through the gods. ps this is academically focused because yes athena: not everyone is good stop idolizing people. they will make mistakes and if they do and if they hurt you dont hesitate to leave, one day youll see them for what they really are and are you willing to devote yourself to someone on the same level as you? no, no one will be. not when that person is sick of you and only hurts you. Ares: be mad, be jealous sometimes you cant get what you want. thats fine. sometimes the bar is too high to reach when your competing against others in a field you dont know anything about and its okay to quit and want what they have, to want to embrace their humanity. but you cant, you arent them. use every single skill you have in your artillery till your score is higher Artemis: its okay to be head in hands sometimes people are stupid, sometimes people ignore others humanity, sometimes people are inconsiderate. its all okay. its okay to be frustrated at others when they have blatant wrong views because you have wrong views too. who will you be if you were perfect? hades: its okay to be exhausted let your shoulders drop, your tired and you dont know why. you dont have to keep focus and aware of every small and little detail, your home and your safe. you werent made to focus all your life you were made to enjoy every lasting second of it, the focused and the confused. let yourself be.
