Create your own mythology

No seriously

The poets of our mythology worshipped these deities too, if they create it why can't you?

Recognize the symbolism of the gods, recognize the symbolism of these tales. I consider my play of my dnd character Saix to be a devotional act to Hypnos, as he was a cleric to Remnus(God of Sleep), and ended up taking the role of sleep god for Himself. Do not be too strict, for the symbols of the Gods are fluid in their interpretation.

They will love what you do to literature that features them, even if it may put them in an "evil" light, in hellenism there isn't pure good or evil, only balance

Yesterday my roommate and I were at a local metaphysical store, and I wanted to get crystals to use as stones for my altar to Hermes Propylaios and Apollon Agyeius we keep by the door. I found a sunstone, but it didn’t feel right. I really wanted something in an obelisk shape, similar to the shape of stones dedicated to Apollon Agyeius in ancient times. I picked up a pretty orange obelisk that I felt drawn to; imagine my surprise when the store owner said, “That’s Golden Healer.” Y’all. Apollo picked his own rock.

I begin to sing of Pallas Athena, the glorious goddess, bright-eyed, inventive, unbending of heart, pure virgin, saviour of cities, courageous, Tritogeneia.

Homeric hympn to Athena.

I finally put up my art print of Aristaios (god of beekeeping, but also SO MANY other "rural arts") and I feel so much peace looking at it 🥺 I love him a lot, he deserves this incredible art ^-^

A prayer to Romanticize life

Oh heavenly Aphrodite,

You who who oversees the beauty in small things,

Whether in a child's laugh, in a good friend or somewhere in a field of flowers; We can see thy face everywhere.

Oh heavenly Aphrodite,

You who created our bodies along the sweet roses and the tranquility of holy starlight, I praise thee!

May you grant me to see thy beauty not only around me but to see the one you have created within me.

Oh heavenly Aphrodite,

May you grant me to see thy peace and grace in the small things so that I can appreciate the beauty of the deathless Gods.

Prayer to Hypnos for Good Memory

"Oh Bearer of the branch of lethe, God of Illusion and God of Sleep,

May you hear this prayer and answer my cry, for I call to you Hypnos. Lord of the songbirds and lord of the flowers.

Sleep God who rest in Erebos, I worship and devote myself to you.

May you aid my memory, Oh Hypnos

May I remember what is important, and may I remember you. May I sense your presence always, and bless my memory you shall. Thank you Hypnos for listening to my prayer."

Devotional acts? Nah bro, im doing emotional acts.

Crying over how much I love my gf as an emotional act to Aphrodite

Rapid messaging my friends about my many interests as an emotional act to Hermes

Letting myself laugh a little when I’m singing as an emotional act to Apollon

I just did a tarot reading for Lady Hestia to see if she would like to work with me. I asked some basic questions like, what do you think you could help me with, what could I help you with, ect.

When it was finally time to ask her if she would like to work with me the Strength Card flew out and landed perfectly on my lap. I looked at the meaning and was a bit confused, so I shuffled it back in and said "not every card that flies out is applicable"

I pull a different card and suddenly get this feeling to check which cards are associated with Lady Hestia...

Strength is one of her cards -_-

Note to self, don't doubt your readings, check your self and make sure you have all the information before disregarding something
