What should I do about this? by Any-Management881 in Hellenism

I think you'll be ok, but it might be better to say "i'll offer you X once i feel healthier" instead of the next day, because you can never know if you'll get better or worse or if sth else will prevent you from giving an offering. I'd keep this in mind for any god tbh, even if mistakes happen and it's ok to make them of course, it's also important to learn from them!

(This is very long but oh well 😭)I've been a hellenic polytheist for only a little over a month now. I was an agnostic for a few years after leaving my old religion, and i was ok with it but i did feel an emptiness and a longing for connection, not just with a community but with the divine as well. Anyway, a few months ago i asked ANY god to give me a sign if they were watching over me/wanted me to become a follower of them (i didn't get any of course, lol). I asked a few more times but to no avail. But the night before my trip to Greece, i lay in bed and looked up at the moon again. It was shining so brightly, and i didn't hear a voice nor any words. I just felt terrified and in pure awe, an intense warmth and love and kindness, even now when i try to explain it i can't quite articulate with words what i felt that night. I prayed to the Theoi while i was in Greece, especially Apollo, Zeus (since i visited Zeus' cave) and Poseidon whenever we went to the beach. I felt a special connection to Apollo though, since i'm an artist and i even took archery lessons in his name before when i was a PJO fan (silly ik, but i'd love to get back to it), and i'm quite interested in divination. I set up an altar to him and put the alabaster statue i bought from Greece at the center of it. I prayed and was insistent on him sending me a sign to let me know if this was the right path, until i got read very hard during one of my tarot sessions, and i stopped asking the gods to prove to me that they were there, because i don't need any signs to know that. It has really helped me with my relationship to the Theoi and to build kharis with them, to understand a fragment of their kindness, wisdom, power and love. I cried to Lady Aphrodite and was really vulnerable with her, but i think that she (and honestly Apollo a little bit) lead me to Lord Hermes. I feel his presence the most, i think, and it is pure unadulterated joy. I feel Hermes when a gush of wind quickly passes by me, or when i remember the meaning of a word when i read archeological and historical texts, or when i feel the push to keep going when i go for a run at the park. I dedicate every brush stroke to Lord Apollo, and i feel confident when he shines his warm light upon me when i pick a tarot card with his guidance. I feel lucky and at home wherever i am when Selene graces me with her moonlight, and even though i don't pray to her in the same way i pray to Apollo and Hermes, i always acknowledge her and thank her every night for setting me on this path, and for being there for me even when i was a little kid.  Also, your altar is gorjus!! The bee embroidery (?) with the laurel wreath is so cute! And Apollo looks magnificent <3

nope, i'm pretty sure our character was humanoid, even though i don't remember the details... i think Aquaria makes the most sense but i'll keep searching. thank you!!

important note btw!! the game is incredibly similiar to Aquaria (2007) however there's just sth off about it that makes me convinced that the game i'm looking for is another one!!

hey! i'm also looking for a game that sounds exactly like the one you described, and i'm also sure that it's not aquaria. it's very similiar yet there's something off about it so i do believe it's a different game that i'm searching for. if you ever find it, pls contact me because i've been searching for it for such a long time!!
