So like weird question but.. who can you worship Greek gods and the Christian God or Jesus and Yarylo?? It makes no sense to be honest. Those gods are from completely DIFFERENT religions.

Hi there, sunshine! ☀️

To answer your question in its simplest form, I believe it's because I do not and never have gone to church. I combine pagan practices with Folk Catholicism, in which the centre of the faith is based around the home and hearth instead of the church.

Personally, I find the concepts and philosophies of paganism and Catholicism very compatible and easy to blend. As Catholicism is the earliest form of Christianity (and I believe the truest), I believe it has pagan roots. It grew directly out of the pagan era. Taking the church out out of the practice makes those origins more apparent, to me at least.

Not that I'm saying Catholicism is a pagan faith, simply that it is the closest branch of Christianity to paganism, both in practice and chronology. This helps bridge the divide that has grown between the faiths over the millennia.

Deities also fill different roles depending on their domains. Yarylo, for example, is a domestic deity. I pray to him for matters regarding my home, family, and the prosperity and protection of my household. Jesus, on the other hand, fills the role of a teacher in my practice. He is my saviour and covers me with his Blood, and I tend to pray to him for guidance through life.

As for the practical considerations, I simply incorporate elements of worship from both paganism and Catholicism. For example, I might do a pagan style ritual at my altar with incense, offerings, etc, and say a traditionally Catholic prayer. I base a lot of what I do in historically accurate practice (mostly Hellenic) and traditional Catholic practice, and take what I like from each, creating a sort of hybrid.

I hope I've covered some of the basics here and answered your question well. Thank you for asking! Feel free to send more asks my way if you would like.

Khaire! ☀️

''The first of the gods to notice Jarilo's return to the living world was Morana, a goddess of death and nature. The two of them would fall in love and court each other through a series of traditional, established rituals, imitated in various Slavic courting or wedding customs. The divine wedding between brother and sister, two children of the supreme god, was celebrated in a festival of summer solstice. This sacred union of Jarilo and Morana, deities of vegetation and of nature, assured abundance, fertility and blessing to the earth, and also brought temporary peace between two major Slavic gods. However, since Jarilo's life was ultimately tied to the vegetative cycle of the cereals, after the harvest (which was ritually seen as a murder of crops), Jarilo also met his death. Without her husband, however, Morana turns into a frustrated old hag, a terrible and dangerous goddess of death, frost and upcoming winter.''

Vasant: Nothing feels better than winning Monopoly. Not love, not sex, not free pizza, nothing!

Vesna: I’m sorry, have you tried pizza?

Vasant: Yes, and it doesn’t compare to owning half the board and watching the light die from your friend’s eyes as you take their money and feel your friendship slowly deteriorate.

Yarilo: I like you.
