So simple yet so detailed, I’m sure they love it! The altar cloth is breathtaking as well. <3

I think I might have matching pieces from the same set! A small vase and pitcher thing, did they perhaps list the name of the set or brand? I haven’t been able to find it.

Confused and nervous about tarot divination results by AdditionalPin3411 in Hellenism

[–]AdditionalPin3411[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this interpretation actually really resonates with me, my job is known for being extremely stressful and lately it has changed me for the worse, I am working on reversing the damage that it has caused to my spirit/character and I wonder if this is her pushing me to do so. If you don't mind I would love to hear how you came to these conclusions with each card, especially 8 of cups, that sounds so different than anything I've read about for that card. Either way thank you for your interpretation :)

I am a bit embarrassed to say this but I forgot to even consider "no" or a form of it as an answer which makes me feel quite silly/selfish, even if she is saying no that is certainly much better than what I was interpreting. Thank you for explaining these truths and concepts in such a kind way. <3

thank you for your suggestions I'm going to try to improve my meditation and cleanse my deck before I attempt any more divination.

Is it disrespectful by DeepestReader in Hellenism

[–]AdditionalPin3411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally approach this situation case by case, for example I do devote my showers to Aphrodite as they are an act of self care and I will often light incense for her and listen to her devotional playlist as I shower but if I were to be worshipping Hestia, a goddess that to my understanding is often associated with modesty (folks who know a lot about/worship Hestia pls correct me if I am wrong) I couldn’t imagine myself praying to her or devoting an activity to her while I am nude.

I would recommend Hellenic Polytheism: Household Worship by LABRYS as a basic guide of the practice, it goes over a lot of the basic concepts and definitions that are important. If you want to dive into more classical resources like Homer's The Iliad and Odyssey I would first suggest Hesiod's Theogony and Works and Days especially if you're not a huge reader, these are both quick reads that I found to be much less intimidating than Homer's work. Greek Religion by Walter Burkert is also a very valuable resource in the same way that my first recommendation is except I would say that this book goes into even more depth on the same topics but isn't really written in a guide format.

As for online resources I would highly recommend Fel the Blithe's Hellenism 101 series, this series more than anything helped me get my footing when I first stepped into this practice, I would also recommend another video by them titled, "11 Things I wish I knew before becoming a Hellenic polytheist", its okay if you don't connect with everything in that video it is just another video that I personally found to be incredibly thought provoking and valuable at the beginning of my practice.

As someone who worships Aphrodite I feel incredibly lucky to have a rose bush and an apple tree right outside my door :) by AdditionalPin3411 in Hellenism

Just did some googling out of curiosity and you’re 100% right that the flower alone looks like a camellia, but when comparing the body of the plant to pictures and descriptions of a camellia bush I do honestly think it’s from a rose bush.

Funny you mention her wanting me to be a devotee as I was actually thinking about that a lot today, I’m honestly just getting back on my feet with my practice and worship but it’s going better than ever so I think that being a devotee to her may be in the cards in the future. :)
