7 Virtues of Hellenism.

Xenia - This is the pillar that signifies hospitality, generosity and reciprocity. It's typically demonstrated in a guest/host dynamic.

Kharis - This is the pillar that signifies appreciation and gratitude. It entails giving to the gods and and expressing gratitude when you receive something from them.

Eusebia - This is the pillar that signifies reverence and veneration towards the gods. It can be translated to 'piety' or 'reverant conduct' meaning that you show respect for them.

Hagneia - This is the pillar that signifies purifying yourself. It entails having moral, perhaps physical too, purity and avoiding miasma where possible.

Arete - This is the pillar that signifies excellence and brilliance. It entails trying to reach your highest potential and this can be in any field.

Sophia - This is the pillar that signifies the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom.

Sophrosyne - This is the pillar that signifies self-control and prudence. It involves being of sound mind and remaining balanced, which can further lead to other positive qualities to have.

I hope these are right and that I didn't misunderstand their meanings! Hopefully this is useful to anyone, I certainly enjoyed making the post!

Queen Hera, thank you for leading me to your husband. I set up a small altar for them both so they can be next to each other, I think he likes it! Here are some cloud pictures that I took yesterday that made me think of him.

Thank you King Zeus for all of your support recently 💙

In the sky's canvas, the sun and stars play,

Their distant glow, a captivating display.

From afar, I watch, in silent awe,

A humble observer of nature's grand law.

This is so cool omfg!! Keep it up <3

Some lyrics to a song Im working on from scratch! I may try to start throwing it together soon. ID LIKE OPINIONS WITCHES ✨️✨️✨️🗣

Tengri in Texas

Mongols in Texas, it cant be true

Im not from the east but I love the full moon

I used to like the snow, now Im just fine

I kinda like the steppe it eases my mind

Now all of my friends, we sit outside

And play country music in the Spring time

Blue skies are mentioned in every tune

Reminding me of Tengri in night and noon

Where the blue sky is, I wIll go

Crazy thing is he's always at home

Moscow to Mexico I will roam

And tell the stories of a friend I know

*whistle tone*

Some drink whiskey or bourbon

But when it comes to me Im a vodka man

One for the sky and one for the ground

And one for my soul as I come through town

I got a metal horse it takes gasoline too

Chasing eternal blue sky, Im coming on through!

The limit is 70 on this route

But I wont lie I went 92

And where the blue sky is, I wIll go

Crazy thing is he's always at home

Mongolia to El Paso I will roam

And tell the stories of a friend I know

*throat singing*

Tengri is deep like that blue sky

Take an airplane find out sometime!

Even cowboys say theyre lost in the blues

Hey ole rider, I love Tengri too!

And where the blue sky is, I will go

Crazy thing is he's always at home

Richmond to Belarus I will roam

And tell the stories of a friend I know (slow last bit)

My Lord Apollon

God of archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the Sun and light, poetry and Leader of the Muses I would like to apologise to my Lord for the past few days for missing my usual worship. I hope he will accept my apology.

If there are any other devotees of my Lord, I would love to connect

JK Rowling being a Holocaust denier wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card but in hindsight it probably should have been.

At this point I don’t care how much Harry Potter means to you, I don’t care if it saved your life, if you think having some dumb fucking House scarf from a made up fantasy series is more important than calling out a white supremacist, transphobic, ableist hag then YOU are part of the problem and you are just as bad as she is.

☀️ Subtle Apollo Worship 🏹

Singing/listening to your favorite songs; this applies to any music, though

Listening to music while studying

Playing any instrument

Dedicating a journal to writing poetry or stories

Reading poetry books; reading ancient poetry/stories (especially ancient Greek poetry/stories)

Dancing to any music of your choice

Setting reminders to take medication on time; taking your medication in general

Taking care of your body physically, such as brushing one's teeth or taking a shower

Taking a walk on a sunny day; basking in the warmth of the light

Keeping a pic of him in your wallet

Wearing jewelry that reminds you of him

Keeping imagery of swans, cranes, or ravens around (swans and cranes might be a safer bet if in an evangelical household; ravens may be seen as "too dark")

Having sun imagery around (although he is not the Greek god of the sun, many associate him with the sun these days; he is officially a god of light, however)

Getting a wolf or dolphin stuffed animal (sacred animals of his)

Anything to do with positive and healthy self-wellness

Learning archery

Learning to do divination outside of the obvious (the obvious being tarot, runes, and pendulums, for example; not obvious would be cartomancy, pyromancy, carromancy, shufflomancy, etc.)

Doing homework (yes, really)

Being kind to yourself when you're having a difficult time

Placing positive affirmations on somewhere you'd see them everyday, especially ones about things you're proud of

Checking in with yourself emotionally throughout the day; how are you feeling? What are some good things that have happened so far? What are some not so good things?

Learning about philosophy and taking note of your thoughts on the topic

Learning more about yourself (e.g. make a list of things you enjoy, try new hobbies, experiment with new outfits, etc.)

Expressing yourself through art of any kind

Having a candle that reminds you of him (no altar needed)

-

May add more later! For now, this is my list of discreet ways to worship Apollo. I hope it helps someone, and take care, y'all! 🧡
