The time will pass and the Gods will stay by your side.

[theoitheoitheoi]

Find the Gods in the beauty of the world around you. From lush rolling hills to endless concrete with weeds cracking through the sidewalk. They are with us always

[theoitheoitheoi]

May the Gods assist you through obstacles, hardships, and winding roads of uncertainty. You are safe, you are forgiven, and you are loved.

[theoitheoitheoi]

You are precious to the Gods, they love you dearly.

[theoitheoitheoi]

You are loved by the Gods. Every part of you is loved and will always be, no matter what you do.

[theoitheoitheoi]

Always remember the doors that the Fates open for you can't be shut by mankind. You're on the path, keep walking.

[theoitheoitheoi]

You can always reinvent yourself, you can always learn to love yourself. The Gods know what path your headed down and they know that things get better.

The seeds that you plant today will ripen in another season, water them often.

I was wondering how to start/get into worshiping the gods? i want to but i don’t know how to.

Hello, thank you for messaging!

Worshipping the Gods can take time.

If you've come from any previous religious background, take things you enjoyed and alter them to fit the Gods.

Prayer can be written, spoken, or simply thought. There may be some God you feel drawn too, so reaching out and praying to them makes sense. If not, praying to the Gods as a whole is effective.

I make personal prayers for each God I worship, with gratitude for the coming day and a request for them to be more intertwined in my life. They're typically one to three sentences so they're easy to memorize.

Devoting things in your daily routine to a God can be immensely helpful if you're still uncomfortable in prayer and more typical forms of worship. Brushing your teeth, making your bed, and stopping to smell cedar trees can all be dedicated to a God of your choice.

Worshipping could mean you create an altar, but that may not be the case. You do not need to have an alter to worship the Gods, you have all the tools you need inside yourself already.

I would recommend finding one thing you want to do for the Gods and do that for a few weeks. There's a lot of beautiful things on altars and that people have crafted, but there's no competition.

We're all worshipping the same Gods in our own ways, may you find yours in time.

Blessed be.

To those of you who worship obscure divinities: there are no rule that bind you except your own. Go worship that obscure deity. Go invent that festival from scratch. Go make that offering even if it’s unusual. Go write that prayer even if you’re the only one who gets it. Go play around with your freedom as a practitioner and explore! Even in a spiritual context, creativity is a gift.

[theoitheoitheoi]

When you feel out of control, take deep breaths. The Gods will take care of you. Scary moments won't last forever, you're safe in this present moment.

[theoitheoitheoi]

Thank you so much! I just want to get an idea of things people may be interested in. Asks are always open if you want to leave ideas as well.

[theoitheoitheoi]

October will bring growth, peace, beauty. You can find the Gods everywhere, if you know where to look.

May October be blessed for you! 🩵

[theoitheoitheoi]

Just because you cannot see the strings the Fates weave doesn't mean you should stress. The future may be terrifying, but the Gods work to forge us into the people we're meant to be.

You will be okay when the time passes.

[theoitheoitheoi]

May Aphrodite take care of you in the darkest times, may she be a hand to grasp in the darkness.

You're stronger than you know.

Aphrodite will support you on your journey to know yourself, to heal what has been hurt.

Low Energy Devotional Activities and Ways to Connect with the Gods

Let's be honest, religion and consistent practice can be HARD, especially when you're chronically ill, disabled, mentally ill or neurodivergent. This is a list of lower energy practices you can do to connect with your Gods when you're having a rough day.

Pray. You don't have to say the prayer. You don't have to do the full cleansing and offering. Just think about the prayer. It could be as simple as "'Deity Name', thank you. I'm thinking of you and appreciate you."

Dedicate any self care you do to the Gods. You've got to take meds? awesome. it's now a devotional activity.

If you can, light a tea light candle. You can think about who you're dedicating it to as you're lighting it.

Tell them about your day. Have a simple conversation with them (again, this can be in your head if needed).

Offer some water! Water is a great offering if you don’t have the energy to cook, collect or buy something.

Incense is also a great offering because you can light it then forget about it and your house won’t burn down (if you follow regular safety measures). 

Resting. Your deities want you to be okay. Dedicating your rest to your deities is especially great if you feel guilty for allowing yourself time to heal.

Turn on a video of someone reading mythos! 

Put on a deity playlist. There are plenty of pre-made ones on Spotify. 

Veil or bind your hair! Whenever I’m low energy I’ll throw my hair in a ponytail and bind it that way. It doesn’t have to be extravagant. 

Make a Pinterest board for them!

Post on a digital altar! There are plenty of discord servers that have digital altars and temples. You could also make a devotional Tumblr blog. 

Change your phone lock/home screen to something that reminds you of your Deity.

I hope this is helpful to anyone who needs it! Take care of yourself first and foremost. If you don't think you can manage something on this list then thats perfectly fine too! you're not a bad person for not being able to do something spiritual or religious. Ultimately, these things are not a necessity. Don't stress :)

I hope you see the little joys of rain pattering on tree leaves, the smell of cedar and rosemary. I hope you take the time to slow down and enjoy the little things 💖

Let the Gods anchor you in times of crisis, be your pillar to explore the world in a safe way.

They want nothing more than to watch you grow and keep you safe, no matter how 'close' your relationship is. You are enough.

Failing is apart of learning, they won't abandon you for being human.
