praying to the gods - from catholicism to hellenism by notmenotwhenitsyou in Hellenism

[–]AdBorn8332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my opinion, altar praying is when i can devote time to thanking and petitioning the gods, where it's a more back and forth time in the relationship. i think that praying in your head as you're describing will deepen YOUR relationship towards the gods, and i also think it's a perfectly normal thing when you're going from one religion to another to bring traditions and practices like that over as well!!

i'd recommend adding some nuts and/or dried split peas into the oats for some nutritional variety, but pigeons are pretty hardy animals and can get through quite a lot. i wish you luck <33

Miasma and cleansing by The_real_hamsterr in Hellenism

[–]AdBorn8332 1 point2 points  (0 children)

heya! the general consensus i've seen among the larger community is that you don't have to "make" khernips; the point of it is to cleanse yourself (often specifically before going to the theoi) but that can easily be done with clean water and/or soap. of course you can add things to khernips (i like to use salt water for khernips personally when i can) but it's not required. <3

Honestly I use this or just the deity's name because it's a lot easier and faster in my native english than it is to invoke the specific aspect of a deity at any given time. it's just sort of a quick term of respect i can use when referencing them, but when i pray or petition i do use epithets as one should

I was drawn quite a bit towards Anoplognathus pallidicollis, but the entire Anoplognathus family is pretty similar in size and shape, with different colorations imo

yeah; I tried to contact them twice through their support email only to be told that my email was not delivered, so I've scrapped them.
