Love the hellenion calendar if nothing else so check the website out regardless

You know how there are universities where you can learn to be a pastor then go work for churches for a living? I wish you could do that in Hellenic Polytheism. What I wouldn't give to be able to dedicate my life to the gods in such a way while still earning an income for it. To learn under someone who has spent their own life researching worship, learning about the mysteries, hosting festivals in a temple, etc. But noOOooOOoo, the closest you could probably get is learning about classics, history, and the like. Boooo to the system, boooo. 🍅 🍅 🍅

The siblings of sin avoid the ghouls as much as possible.

The clergy doesn't like it when the ghouls attack humans, but it does happen from time to time. (And to be honest - nobody cares if a sister of sin is missing...)

That's why it's common for the siblings to always have a spray bottle of holy water with them. As hellish creatures, the ghouls do not like anything blessed. The holy water burns on their skin like hell.

To keep Dewdrop or Swiss at a distance, the siblings of sin sometimes have to spray an entire bottle empty. Aether, Cumulus or Mountain keep their distance on their own, but they are so polite that the siblings don't see them as a threat anyway.

Rain is normally not a threat but he is really, REALLY curious about human things and and therefore sometimes tries to get a little closer. If he gets a little too close, the siblings scare him away with clapping or loud noises.

This only works badly if Dewdrop is nearby and hears his beloved water ghoul being scared away by the noise. Then the siblings of sin definitely need more than one bottle of holy water to save themselves...
