#he's the one god out of the entire pantheon that I've been consciously avoiding and trying not to be noticed by due to that past trauma

I'm terrible at remembering Hellenic holidays and legit didn't even realize Theogamia was coming up until today, which honestly explains so much
#hellenic polytheism#Zeus is one of the few deities I really haven't had much interaction with and tbh one of the reasons#is because I still have some lingering religious trauma that is too personal to talk about here#tbf Zeus himself never did anything to me. it's actually much more strongly related to some followers of his from my later childhood#from back when I was just starting out. so I've kept up a bit of an emotional barrier between us this whole time#and finally broke it down this week after he reached out to me#I feel a tad guilty now that I decided to start my Theoi plush line with Artemis since I already had most of the supplies#but I plan on covering all of the gods including Zeus#I just can't afford to make ALL of them right now#I wish people in the pagan community didn't interpret myths so literally and come away from them with the absolute worst interpretations#of the gods. I guess this falls into UPG territory but Zeus is actually really patient and chill#he's the one god out of the entire pantheon that I've been consciously avoiding and trying not to be noticed by due to that past trauma#and he's actually been extremely understanding and forgiving of me for that
