A short one off comic starring everyone’s favorite agent of chaos. I may have been inspired slightly by recent drama (I have it on good authority that Set enjoys a good drama)

“How did you say the slash mark with your mouth like that”- A/pep probably.

Valentine’s offering to Queen Mother Hera 💛💚🤍

Praise be to you, Queen of the gods! Mother Hera, I love you so, so much. Thank you for watching over me and those I love. To live in the presence of such a regal goddess is truly a gift. You are forever great and life giving, the creator of our galaxy. Khaîre!

I'll preface this by saying that I'm not being mean to anyone (sorry if it comes off like that)

It's written as ALTAR with an A. Writing it as ALTER is not the correct spelling even though they're pronounced the same

An alter (with an e) from what I've heard is an other name for headmates in people with DID while an altar (with an a) is where offerings and prayers are given to the gods

It’s a common mistake that I’ve seen floating around, especially on TikTok and Discord, and it’s lowkey making me tweak out

Again, sorry if this comes off as mean; this is just a pet peeve of mine

What is one thing that you think more helpols should know about???

It's impossible to pick one thing, but I have had Nature on the brain a lot lately.

Many modern people (myself included) are completely disconnected from our local environments, and so the majority of us don't know anything about Nature as the ancient Greeks saw/experienced it.

This is obvious enough when we look at popular classical reception.

How many Zeuses have you seen depicted in modern art with American Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) when his sacred bird is actually the Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos)?

To give an example specific to Helpols, have you ever seen people associate Hermes with the strawberry fruit (Fragaria × ananassa)? The funny thing is, the strawberry fruit wasn't bred until the 18th century (c. 1750).

When classical sources describe Hermes's sacred plant as being the strawberry, they're referring to the strawberry tree (Arbutus andrachne), not the modern fruit.

These cases of "mistaken identity" are ultimately informed by general ignorance about Nature, which must be overcome with learning. (I'm in the process of this right now.)

It's imperative that Helpols learn about our Earth (both modern and ancient) since she's literally a goddess, and she contains multitudes of other gods and goddesses within her in the form of natural features.

annoyed about people thinking is Leto goddess of modesty ? Elaborate please (personally given how complex and fluid Ancient Greek cults are I wonder if we should retire “the god/goddess of “construct given how reductive it can be sometimes)

Well, what does goddess of modesty actually mean? What would be the functions of a goddess of modesty in the first place? What makes Leto specifically the goddess of modesty?

I think the "god/goddess of ..." thing should be simply conceptualized something like: a god can do pretty much anything he/she wants, but they tend to have a handful of functions they specialize in and are generally worshipped for by most people. They aren't limited to those functions, however, and depending on place they could take over functions more commonly associated with other gods. For example at Lokroi Epizephyrioi Persephone (rather than Hera) seems to have been the main goddess concerned with marriage. Many of these so-called domains also can and do overlap frequently, which is another reason why this formula can be misleading; often we are talking about "a god of..." rather than "the god of...".

So in short yeah, it's very reductive. How often is Artemis called simply the goddess of the hunt? I find this excerpt from Robert Parker's "On Greek Religion" a very good summary of her mode of activity, but it would be hard to get a straightforward "the goddess of" from it: "... she is not, as has been often supposed, the “goddess of the outside” or “of the wild” but rather the goddess who presides over those contexts in human life where the civilized and the wild, culture and nature or culture and the human potential for bestiality, come into contact. The hunt is an obvious point of encounter between the two spheres; so too in a different way is childbirth, a violent and dangerous irruption of the merely physical within the human world; so too are those rituals of transition by which Artemis “acculturates” the young. As for warfare, Artemis is no warrior, but she receives offerings immediately before battle begins, the point at which violence, controlled or bestial, is about to break out. She also intervenes in battles as a savior at moments when the annihilation of one side, the destruction of a city and thus the negation of order, are in danger of occurring. “The hunt, the care of the young, childbirth, war, and battle—Artemis always operates as a divinity of the margins with the twofold power of managing the necessary passages between savagery and civilization and of strictly maintaining the boundaries at the very moment they have been crossed.”" Artemis is even more than this, though, as Stephen Scully points out in "The Nature of the Gods in Early Greek Poetry": "But Greek religion further complicates our understanding of this goddess, as of all other gods, by attributing to her roles quite different from her "canonical" ones. So at Iasos in Caria, she is protectress of the city (Artemis Astias), and at Olympia, she is Artemis of the Market Place (Artemis Agoraia). Such is the Artemis in Sophocles' Oedipus Tyrannos (161-62) who "sits on her round, and far-famed, throne in the agora" at Thebes."

musk is going to die in a Tesla explosion in 6 months after sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and we will never get a conclusive answer on whether it was a CIA car bomb or just a normal Tesla malfunction

[thequeer07puss]

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

[thequeer07puss]

HAPPY THEOGAMIA EVERYONE!!!

Nazis will never be welcome in paganism. They have no space in our communities, we will have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to nazis. You have no right to the cultures, gods and religions you hijack to spread your disgusting ideologies. You will find no refuge or comraderie amongst pagans.

Reblog to let nazis know they’re not welcome here.

No hate to PJO (except when I do) but yeah some individuals treat this religion like the extension of a fandom

I have nothing against PJO fans but like...Stop 😐. THIS RELIGION IS NOT BASED ON THE PJO SERIES OR PERCY JACKSON IN GENERAL. It's literally a real religion. Also, no the whole camp thing isn't fully accurate to Greek mythology/Hellenic polytheism. Stop.

[thequeer07puss]

just wanna say rq that i despise ai "art" and it especially has no place within religion. using ai to create images of deities and religious figures is gross, lazy, and offensive. not to mention the "art" it generates is horrifically ugly and devoid of soul.

I’m a Hera devotee, of course I will tell you to break up with your boyfriend the moment I don’t like his vibes (and help you plan your breakup if need be)

I'm a Zeus devotee, of course in addition to his hymn, I have Hera, Hestia, and Poseidons memorized😭

A small comic about Palestine I created to appeal to more passive family and friends

Anyways if you have the money I urge you to donate to Ibraheem Hadi, a Palestinian who contacted me and whom I promised to highlight in relation to this comic:

Otherwise there is always a need for eSims to keep Gazans connected
