Hymn to Janus-Zeus and Hekate attributed to Proclus Diadochus

Hail, many-named Mother of the Gods, whose children are fair

Hail, mighty Hekate of the Threshold

And hail to you also Forefather Janus, Imperishable Zeus

Hail to you Zeus most high.

Shape the course of my life with luminous Light

And make it laden with good things,

Drive sickness and evil from my limbs.

And when my soul rages about worldly things,

Deliver me purified by your soul-stirring rituals.

Yes, lend me your hand I pray

And reveal to me the pathways of divine guidance that I long for,

Then shall I gaze upon that precious Light

Whence I can flee the evil of our dark origin.

Yes, lend me your hand I pray,

And when I am weary bring me to the haven of piety with your winds.

Hail, many-named mother of the Gods, whose children are fair

Hail, mighty Hekate of the Threshold

And hail to you also Forefather Janus, Imperishable Zeus,

Hail to you Zeus most high.

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

Great Ares, lord of the battlefield, I stand before you, faithful and true, In this moment of uncertainty and fear, I call upon your might to see me through.

With each breath, I summon your power, Filling my heart with the fire of your will, Guide me as I prepare for the fight, Equip me with courage, resolve, and skill.

Hear my call in this hour of need, Guide my steps with wisdom, and plant the seed. In the chaos of conflict, let clarity reign, Help me discern the path through the pain.

O Mighty Ares, guardian fierce and bold, In the shadows of battle, your courage unfolds. Shield us with strength, through trials we face, With your relentless spirit, grant us your grace.

When danger encircles, may your power ignite, Guide our hands, and bless our fight. With your sword held high, let fear take flight, Wrap us in valor, O God of Might.

With the fires of passion, direct my intent, Teach me to wield both strength and consent. Show me the balance of fury and peace, In your presence, may my fears cease.

In your honor, I vow to be brave, With your eternal strength, my path I will find. So mote it be.

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.

🤍 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!

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.

Lord Apollon is giving me sings and I don't know how to understand them

Since I still don't know a way to comunicate with the gods I have an special way to comunicate with Lord Apollon, I ask him a question and he like sends to my head a part of a song I know with the answer, sometimes there's no need to ask a question he sends me the song to my head because he wants and I start singing it randomly. So today I was in my room doing some homework and studying when a childish spanish song came to my head just because, the song said “Pick, pick, chick, pick your shell, come and eat wheat, come and sunbathe” and I was like what?
