Books are expensive, Hermes thinks learning about your religion should be free.
They're just the basics and only a few, but feel free to ask me to add anything and I'll try my best!

When you step into sunlight, you honor Apollo. When you admire the moon, you honor Artemis. When you admire cloud shapes, you honor Hera. When you smell petrichor, you honor Zeus. When you laugh at a joke, you honor Hermes. When your body twitches to dance at a particularly upbeat music, you honor Dinoysus. When you enjoy the first bite of your breakfast, you honor Demeter. When you choose your peace over any conflict, you honor Athena. When you warm yourself up by sheltering yourself in blanket, you honor Hestia. When you listen to Ocean sounds, you honor Poseidon. When you smell flowers, you honor Persephone. When you admire the coolness of first day of Autumn, you honor Hades. When you wear your favourite jewellery, you honor Hephaestus. When you smile, you honor Aphrodite. When you exercise, you honor Ares. When you light a torch in a dark room, you honor Hekate.
Your body is a shrine to Gods, your being an act of devotion for them. You, by yourself, are enough for them.

May Hermes guide those fleeing war, abuse, domestic violence, and any other horrible situation to places of safety and refuge.
May Apollo help with the healing that follows.

I've seen this saying being passed around a few times. Not sure where it is from, but I love it:
If you don't know who to pray to, then pray to Hermes. Even if he cannot help you, he knows someone who can.

something i find amazing is the way devoting yourself to the gods and goddesses can be so integral with everyday life- i can just be studying or reading and be worshipping Athena, i can be doing makeup and skincare and be worshipping Aphrodite, I can be drawing and making art and be worshipping Apollon, i can be learning greek and studying and be worshipping Hermes- i can simply just take a walk in the woods and be worshipping Artemis in the process, it's just so beautiful to me that it's that simple...
you don't have to do so much to worship the gods, you don't have to have big fancy altars, they're happy with you just for simply praying and doing small things in devotion...there's just something so wonderful about that

Hey you. Yeah, you.
The polytheist. You're probably a Hellenic polytheist if you're reading this. Maybe you're not a Hellenic polytheist, but you follow another pantheon. This is for you, too.
You're out here on the internet. You're looking for communities, you think you found one, then one day you find that you're comparing what you're doing to what everyone else is doing. Things that made you feel confident and connected are suddenly making you feel like you're not doing enough, or you're not doing it right.
Maybe you added a bunch of things to your practice because it's what you saw other people doing, and maybe you were told that's how it's done, but it's not making you feel right. What used to be profound moments, or at least peaceful ones, have turned to obligation and you feel like something is wrong with you because you're not getting the results that you expected.
Breathe.
Don't get lost in what everyone else is doing. Do your research. Find your way. Practice lots of discernment. Pace yourself. Be humble. Be ethical. Be patient. Hold yourself to your own high standards, not every random polytheist on the internet.
Everyone has a different opinion on how to do things. Look at all the options, but don't try to please everyone.
You'll get where you need to be.
