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

I begin to sing of Pallas Athena, the glorious goddess, bright-eyed, inventive, unbending of heart, pure virgin, saviour of cities, courageous, Tritogeneia.

Homeric hympn to Athena.

🌸 Things to put on your Deities Altar 🌸

Adhara's introduction of the post: Hii, lovebugs! This post is mainly to help those who don't know what to put on their Deities Altar, but just to be clear that there isn't a rule of how you create your Deities Altar, okay? Do what makes you feel more comfortable and that you think your Deities will like!

🪻Crystals:

Putting crystals on the altar is a good start! You can put protection crystals; cleansing crystals, and the crystals dedicated to your Deities! I like to put the crystals next to their candles, so it's easier for me to know which crystals belong to who!

🪻Poems:

The Gods love poems! But if you think you aren't good making poems, you can simply write a letter thanking them or just praising them ^^

🪻Books:

You can put your spellbooks, books that are about Greece, or just books that you love reading in honor of your Deities!

🪻Flowers:

You can't go wrong with flowers! Be it their correspondent flower or just flower with the color they're associated with. Besides, you can use dried petals as an offering for them!!

🪻Feathers:

A lot of the Gods are related to birds, like Apollo; Aphrodite; Hera; etc. So that is something that you can put in their altars as well!!

🪻Your tarot:

Quite obvious, I know, but it's good to let your tarot on your altar so it's safe and you can also use whenever you need it, while also making the Gods get more used to this object. (Still, I recommend you to do a cleansing on your tarot, I prefer doing with incense, but do whatever you feel more comfortable, lovebug!).

🪻Things that bring you comfort:

Lastly, anything that brings you comfort and that you like, an Altar is something personal and uniquely yours, sure, everyone wants a pretty Altar, but there's beauty in the chaotic, in the simple and in the messy Altars too. Don't feel pressured and the Gods will like whatever you put in your Altar for them (as long as it's not disrespectful, of course).

Hope that you liked it, lovebugs! And I'm planning to make even more helpful posts like this! But I'm always open to new ideas, so don't feel shy to reach out to me ^^ bye byee~

If you ever see a veteran, especially an unhoused veteran, asking for money, a subtle way to respect both them and their service, and the gods of war, like Ares, Aphrodite, Athena, ECT, is to go ahead and drop a dollar or so towards them. Veterans, especially in America, are often abandoned by the military industrial complex after their service, and many are forced to suffer through their PTSD and emotional distress afterwards on their own as a result. Make ares proud, warm aphrodites heart, by making sure they have a few dollars for a warm drink, or something to eat. ❤️

Tarot with Lady Athena today :) she's made me feel way better about something going on in my life...im so thankful for her

[adharaantheia]

I never thought that working with the Gods meant that I'll receive things too, not only give them offerings and devotionals posts, wear jewelry for them and say about my days.

No, they want to gift me things too. Isn't this surprising?

I'm in the process of working with Lady Aphrodite again, and before I light up a candle or make a playlist as my first offering to her. She simply gives me a new friend???? Like??? Ma'am I didn't do anything to deserve this but I'll cherish it dearly.

Lord Apollo also gifted me a wonderful friend and I'm forever grateful to him for this. I love my friend as if she was a sister to me.

Lord Eros is a sweetheart that always made sure to make me feel comfortable about my silly crushes and my desire to be loved by a guy.

I love the Deities, they protects us and gift us even when we think that we don't deserve it.

All they ask back is respect, is to receive our devotion and that we give them things that come from our heart, it doesn't matter if it's just a silly poem (something that I love to gift them), because it's the intention that matters.

The Gods love us, if you needed a signal that they love you, here it is: they love you. They love you because you are you and that's what matter.
