Prayer to Aphrodite:

You rise from the ocean

Salty foam drips from your hair

Longer than the sea

Brighter than the stars

You of beauty

You of love

Mother of harmony

Daughter of water

Hear my prayer

Grant me love and beauty

Grace and courage

And be with me

As a guide

A healer

A mother

Now and always

I ask this of you

Amen

On Balance

Today I was studying some general Hellenic concepts and I came across something that made something click in my head.

Firstly, the concept of arrêt / arete - the idea of excellence and virtue in all you do. The means of achieving this being the practitioner being not only present in their own life, but active. Being active in your own life is a concept that, to be honest, has blown me away. It's something I've been actively focusing on lately, taking the reigns and steering yourself towards whatever you desire. It's beautiful, and it's something the Theoi encourage. I love this.

Secondly, the importance of balance. I have realised that achieving arete is made far more possible if there is a sense of balance in both the spiritual and the mundane. There are many many Gods, each with their own domains and ways of being helpful to humanity, previously I might have said that I didn't understand why the ancient Greeks worshipped all twelve Olympians, or why people nowadays choose to work with a variety of deities. Today, I finally began to understand just how important that is. Building kharis with each of the Gods is a means to achieve good spiritual balance. It's enriching and expands your practice along with your life.

It seems like by combining balance and drive, striving for arete will become second nature.

gang can we please normalize not doing massive things as worship, good for you: you can do massive fesitvals, cook great meals for your gods, devote days and days to them. im sorry i literally cant do that i get tired from simple readings and i barely manage to play music for apollo on a good day how about i take a deep breath for my gods instead, drink a juice for them (because if i put it on my alter TRUST i will forget), find quotes on Pinterest instead of making poetry for my gods because i silently cringe while making them and say the quotes like a prayer. if its humane, you can do it for your gods regardless on extravagance. if they accept you they accept your actions too

So, I do glamour magic in honor of working with Aphrodite. In the week that I started, I have not only been complimented on my lip shape, but also been told I smell like chocolate. And all I do is state affirmations while bathing and putting on lotion.

Don’t sleep on glamour magic.

Trojan War - the Trojans

The sister piece to my chart on the Achaeans. Out of the two, this is my favourite. I spent so many hours on Helen and I'm so proud of how she turned out.

🤍 Intro Post 🤍

This is a Religious Blog!

I’m Mells and I use they/them pronouns! I’m aroace and 18, and have been a Hellenic Polytheist since 2022.

For any new Hellenic Polytheists, here is my beginner’s guide

Here is my 31 days of helpol event that I do in December! Feel free to join in

At the moment, I am devoted to Athena. I worship Ares, Aphrodite, and Melinoë, as well as the heroes Odysseus, Penelope, Helen and Tiresias. In the past I have worshipped Nemesis and Philotes. Of course it goes without saying that I respect all the other Gods.

I’m happy to talk about anything relating to the Theoi. I’m no expert and I don’t consider myself very good at it a lot of the time, but I’d like to share my experiences here! Feel free to ask me questions, but again, I am not an expert.

My main is @navy-nyoom and I follow from there. I also have @epic-odyssey which I use to talk about EPIC: the Musical, the Iliad and the Odyssey.

I’d love to make some friends!

Apollo Noumios

Apollo as a Protector of Pastures and Shepherds

Finally finished this piece! I was hoping to do a little more with it, but sadly, I didn't have that much time and was extremely tired at the time. This one goes primarily for my university assignment :)

i was feeling a little silly (*ˊᗜˋ*)

This was inspired by one of @hermes-the-god 's posts ୧((〃•̀ꇴ•〃))૭⁺✧ (I like your stuff btw :3)

This makes me kinda sad

Like imagine a lover garden

siting on a bench talking to your favorite plants honoring them in this garden full of beautiful flowers

(this stems from the fact that Apollo also kinda turned one of his lovers into a plant)

Just a thought a sad one (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)
