Sometimes I just have to think about how wild deity work/worship really is. Like what do you mean it’s 10pm and I’m sat on my bed in my pyjamas with a biscuit and a fluffy blanket while also talking to a divine being???

My prayers are still just "O [deity name + translated epithets], i'm gonna pray for you...ok, so, you're pretty, i love you, thank you for being there, i think you did that or at least it's cool that you maybe did that, thank you. Khaire [deity name]." And I feel good each time because I struggle with prayers.

the past few days have been really, really tough. I’ve tried my best to keep Hades in mind, and somewhere deep down I know that he appreciates it (and me), but it’s hard to not feel like I’m not good enough when my mental health and disabilities interfere with my practice.

even if you can't feel your deities, they are still here, and they still love you.

Listen. Abandoning the idea of what a proper pagan is was the most rewarding experience. Your intuition is stronger than you think.

This isn't a science. You don't have to treat it like one. Go with your heart, go with your intuition. It will help you grow more than you've ever dreamed of.

hypnos is the comforting bliss that surrounds you on fall afternoon, a summer evening, a spring morning, a winter night. he is the comfort of bed and home, the space between consciousness and blissful sleep. he is everything, everywhere, loving living ebbing and flowing. hypnos is the guide on the blackest of nights, the rest found in the darkness. he is beloved. my god.

another shoutout to people who's neurodivergency interacts with their worship. people with deity introjects. people who struggle to differentiate between spirit interactions and psychosis. people who have been a victim of gaslighting who repeatedly second-guess their signs. those with ptsd who can't pinpoint the intention of their gods. those with adhd or autism who struggle to find a routine in their worship, or over-routine their worship.

this isn't even the beginning of what can happen, but just know i'm proud of you.

Shout out to Athena

I’m still new to Hellenism, I’m sure it has its rough spots, but within the communities I’ve found and interacted with I’ve felt nothing but welcome.

Even as a beginner. I’ve felt so safe and heard by other Hellenists. To be in a religious community like this without feeling judged is amazing, and I want to thank everyone of you who I’ve talked to or have interacted with my posts.

You all mean the world to me and I’m so happy to share this space with you!!
