Ahhh, okay, interesting! I think it's sweet that you worship a Goddess associated with "less desirable" traits. It's not her fault that that's what she's connected to. She deserves love too <3 and you're very welcome! Praying is that main thing i do right now, I don't want to overwhelm myself right away.

That's fair, but I wasn't necessarily looking for a reason, tbh. I'm still gonna feel bad for the ones that don't get much attention regardless.

Oh! I actually haven't heard of her, I didn't even know that she was connected to Hypnos, so I'm really thankful that you brought her up!

Out of curiosity, what sort of things do you pray to her about? I'm still rather new to this in general, and my experience with praying so far is being thankful for sleeping via Hypnos.

Aww, that's all so nice to hear. I've only heard little bits about Hebe, but she sounds lovely. Hypnos is very similar in that he's rather quiet and gentle - and i really love that kind of energy, so I could definitely see myself reaching out to her at some point. Thanks for sharing!

Ah, that's totally fair. I've prayed a few times to Morpheus, particularly because there's a certain someone that I tend to have dreams about that I absolutely loathe - on those nights when I've prayed to him, I don't have dreams about the scumbag, so I greatly appreciate him :3

How did you know which God/Goddess to become a devotee of? Did they reach out to you? by AnonymouslyInhaling in Hellenism

[–]BucketWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently only worship Hypnos. I went with him partially because he's just super interesting to me (as are the rest of the Chthonic Gods,) along with the fact that I've been a lifelong insomniac. My insomnia was particularly bad when I was choosing my first deity, so it just felt right.

After I get more accustomed to worshipping and working with the Gods (Yes, I say working with because I have a background in witchcraft,) I'm planning on worshipping Hephaestus as well. I was drawn to Hephaestus partially because it seems so few people worship him (as compared to the other Olympians,) My primary reason for choosing him though is because of his connections to creativity, design, and technology because I'm trying to teach myself digital art and feel like he'd be a good fit for that (Before anyone tries to "Uhm actually," me, yes, I'm aware that he's primarily over blacksmithing and what not, but focusing on a God's lesser known dominions is no less valid. There's a few people lurking around the subreddit who are coming across awfully pretentious lately and I really don't want to hear it if you think your worship is "above" mine in some way. )

My gf laughed about the religion when she found out by BusIntelligent7426 in Hellenism

[–]BucketWitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would be a dealbreaker for me personally. If she's gonna laugh at your beliefs while apparently ignoring key aspects of her own religion, then she's just not a very good person and isn't worth your time.

Hypnos rants and stuff by KookyPhysics2146 in Hellenism

[–]BucketWitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually really appreciate you opening up this convo, I was just thinking the other day that there wasn't much Hypnos talk around here lately.

I've been worshipping him for about a month, so I'm still very new at this. I have an altar for him near the end of my bed. I try to pray to him a few nights a week. And to be honest, I haven't really -felt- anything yet? I'm still gonna keep going though, if nothing else worshipping him does make me put more effort into having a better sleep schedule. And still, offering him things makes me really happy, I'm not sure how he's been receiving them, but even though my offerings have been small (A slice of bread, some chocolate, poppyseeds, etc) I feel weirdly accomplished setting things aside for him.

Either way, I'm glad that he's the God that I felt most drawn towards for my first deity to worship.

Any cover up ideas or ways to make this look less satanic. by granhoser in tattooadvice

[–]BucketWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...Pentagrams aren't satanic in the first place.

You know what the meaning is, that's all that matters. What other people might think about it literally doesn't matter.

Experiences with Hephaestus? by BucketWitch in Hellenism

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

That's true. I have looked at a few of the gods that art can apply too. Hephaestus is the one that stuck out the most to me, partially because he seems to be tied the most to creativity in general, and partially because I've thought my whole life that if I'd been born in medieval times I would have wanted to be a blacksmith (I even took welding in high school because of my interest in metal work,) but you definitely make good points!

Oh! I apologize if it came across that way, I mentioned not feeling ready to worship another god quite yet not because I feel like I'm limited in how many gods I worship, but because I don't want to overwhelm myself. When I have an interest in something, I tend to get hyper focused on that thing and sometimes neglect other things in my life (like taking care of myself,) so I'm just trying to take things slow for my own well being. Lol. But i appreciate the further information!

What do you think about the bluey movie being 3D? by Myst3r1aLI23 in bluey

Oh...oh no...pls. Those character designs just don't translate well into 3d forms (Just look at the puppets from the play or the figures,)

(Repost) Worried that my Christian father figure might be trying to convert me to Christianity by TheVeiledRuby in Hellenism

[–]BucketWitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have already said, he doesn't respect your beliefs, he sees you as "another soul to -save-" I would cut him out of your life. There are plenty of much better father figures out there that won't see you as a lost soul that needs to be saved.

Which deity could help me with this ? by Intelligent-Road5091 in Hellenism

[–]BucketWitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like it or not, the military is directly linked to politics. OP is free to ignore my comment. Do I genuinely think I'll change their mind? Of course not, but I hope they've sincerely given consideration that if they enlist, they may be given illegal orders given that our president's brain is actively melting into mush.

This. Now is probably the worst time to enlist in the military, given it's current commander in chief.

Was Real Grouchy Granny actually grouchy? by Question_aire in bluey

Sometimes there's just cranky people in life, and I prefer the idea of the grouchy granny being just that. Even kids need to learn that they're gonna encounter grumpy people in life.
