Oikos - (Family) respecting one's parents and ancestors
With hands that pour and hearts that hold, We honor those who make us bold. To parents wise, respect we bring, Their love the roots from which we spring. To Gods above, our reverence true, In rites of old, their light renew. For harvest's bounty, battles won, Their favor sought, by all that's done.

🌙 Subtle Artemis Worship 🦌
Spend time out in nature (e.g. go on a hike, take a walk outside, visit a nature preserve, etc.)
Dancing, especially at night and to music that makes you feel wild and free
Playing an instrument (although this is more for Apollo, I believe it also works as a form of Artemis worship)
Wearing jewelry that reminds you of her
Having imagery of deer, horses, or dogs around
Having literally any sort of animal symbolism around (she is a Goddess of Animals)
Investing in nature/animal conservation efforts (can simply be spreading the word if you can't afford to donate or volunteer)
Creating art of your favorite flower, plant, or animal
Keeping a picture of her in your wallet
Taking a walk outside during the crescent or full moon (only if it is safe in your area to do so)
Learning about self-defense (I feel dedicating a pocket knife, if legal, to her is a great idea)
Learning archery
Befriending neighborhood animals, such as cats, birds, or dogs; leaving food out for them
Lighting a bonfire with friends and having a good time together; dancing around it is especially great (please be safe about doing so; I don't recommend drinking first)
Star-gazing and moon-gazing
Showing compassion to others, such as through volunteer work or holding doors
Taking a warm bath at night
Having a candle that reminds you of her (no altar needed)
Wearing animal-inspired outfits or doing animal-inspired makeup
Visiting a local zoo, aquarium, or butterfly pavilion; taking the time to learn about new creatures
Watching nature documentaries or movies about animals (it can be movies/shows starring anthropomorphic animals)
Being curious about local fauna and flora
Learning how to safely forage for food, such as picking berries or mushrooms
Meditating in the dark of the night, especially on a crescent or full moon
Making a list of your goals; focus on completing these one step at a time
Taking new risks, especially ones that give you a sense of thrill and excitement
Sending kind messages to loved ones, especially those having a difficult time
Learning to prioritize your own well-being; taking care of yourself first and foremost
-
May add to this later! For now, this is my list of discreet ways to worship Artemis. I hope someone finds it helpful. Take care, everyone! 💚

ARTEMIS AND APOLLON
Digital
I have a lot going on. I'm moving and I have to get a job (it's seriously not easy). So I haven't had much time to do anything, but here's a quick drawing of the Divine Twins!

eeee I love just doing small things for the gods in my practice!!!!
Thinking of Eros whenever I talk about the people I love
Whispering a small thank you to Hermes when I make my bus on time
Saying something for Asklepios whenever I take meds
Thinking of Dionysus while partying with friends, or while I stare into the ivy and grapevines that cover my childhood home
Dedicating a drawing in class, or a workday on a project to Apollon,
saying a prayer to Hypnos while I make a tea blend for sleep,
cheering for Hephaestus when I make a mechanic right in a project
thinking of Athena while I'm hunched over my computer at 3am researching for no purpose other than the pursuit of knowledge
There are so many more examples, but the point is, that the gods are everywhere. Even if you can't do big devotional acts because of time or energy, just remember that they're also there for you in the small, mundane moments of life.

the absolute funniest thing is me worrying if i'm too much regarding how much i love my deities and meanwhile the deities i worship are like
hey i'm giving you a sign that i'm thinking about you
i'm also giving you a sign that i love you and i'm around you
i'm also giving you some of my energy to sit with because it makes you happy
i'm listening to every word you say in your prayers to me
i'm reminding you to take care of yourself because i care about you
i'm a spirit that's as old as time itself and i still find time to spend with you because you're important to me
and that doesn't even cover the blessings
