Shout out to my friend who I told I was polyamourous and they said, 'yeah I know, you told me you were polythiestic last year'
Not quite the same, but I applaud your support.

"Of Kythereia, born in Kypros, I will sing. She gives kindly gifts to men: smiles are ever on her lovely face, and lovely is the brightness that plays over it. Hail, goddess, queen of well-built Salamis and sea-girt Kypros; grant me a cheerful song. And now I will remember you and another song also."
-Homeric Hymn 10 to Aphrodite

Me, first approaching the gods: “Hi, I have a fountain of issues that will constantly make things difficult, I’ve got this 50 cent candle and my undying love for you. 👉🏻👈🏻🥺”
The gods: “Hell yeah.”

There's nothing more romantic to me than Hera and Zeus in Their celestial aspects. She's the Goddess of the Sky and Stars. He's the God of the Sky and Storms. I bet They just dance around in the aether making pretty colors sometimes.

Hail Apollo;
God before whom princes and poets kneel.
I have no words to describe how beautiful you are and how beautiful my life is because of you. Every day, I am blessed by you. Thank you for gifting me with your patronage and your love, and I pray that my love for you is known in return.

A reminder that feeling compelled to begin worshipping/researching a god is also a sign and you don’t need to see some major sign in order to begin worshipping!
I began worshipping Lord Apollon because I was interested in him for some reason, and that’s led me to many years of researching/worshipping him! He never came to me through animal symbolism or anything major/visible but my worship of him is something that feels so right, even when I have a drought and struggle to actively worship, I never feel too worried or uncomfortable to return to normal because he is my god and I felt and still feel like I was meant to worship him
The idea that you need to see physical signs in order to begin worshipping/building a relationship with a god is ridiculous and should never stop you! Think about all the other gods you don’t feel compelled to worship and compare it to those that you do, and if you want to begin worshipping loads of gods, then go for it! There’s no right or wrong way to begin worship and only you know what’s the right thing for yourself

less positive post, but as a cult survivor, I need some of y'all in pagan spaces to start being a lot more careful with the things you believe and do.
you need to check to see if what people say is actually backed up by sources. you need to do your own research. you need to learn to recognize 'new age' ideas and practices and avoid them. you need to be aware of when you're being drawn into a very insular or high control group.
you are not exempt from cults. you're not exempt from being drawn into cult like beliefs and practices. I've spent a lot of time learning to recognize cults and deconstruct and even if you've never been in one, you need to learn too.
lots of love <3

If you’re finding it difficult to carve out a practice for yourself, you’re just having a normal response. We were never supposed to do this. Polytheism is not an orthodoxy that we can divert to based on dogma and texts. It’s an orthopraxy, the likes of which were always intended to be practiced by the community, the polis, with the guidance of elders and experts. Because of the march of time bringing forced Christianization, colonization, and capitalism enforcing rugged individualism, we’ve been left with little choice but to carve a tiny piece for ourselves.
We’re doing fantastic, considering we’re rebuilding from the scraps and ruins of long gone empires.
