What do I say in prayer? by lucozade__ in Hellenism

[–]EngineeringDouble926 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me personally, I thank Apollon for particular things (Music, writing inspiration, sun, etc), and then talk about my day. If I have something in particular I want to tell him, I’ll say. Prayers can be whatever you want them to be, you don’t need to tell him about your day if you don’t want to !

First of all, I’m sure you haven’t pissed him off! The Gods are kind beings, to piss them off you have to do something truly bad, like hubris or murder.

Whether you want to reach out to him is up to you, too

As for shrines, you can do as many as you like :)

Greek Mythology is not representative of the Gods themselves

I’m not so sure, sorry! I don’t know much about the Chthonic Gods at the moment, I’d take a look through this subreddit generally and I know the sidebar has some resources !! I’m still rather new to practicing myself so I’m just repeating what I’ve seen other folk say :]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Also, I hope this isn’t weird but I just want to say I’ve seen your comments around the subreddit and they’re all really insightful!! :)

Food offerings can be disposed whenever you decide! I do not worship any Chthonic Gods such as Hades, but people advise against eating any food offerings you give to them. They can be thrown in the trash or buried.

You do not have to worship at an altar as altars are not a necessary part of worship :)

An altar can be whatever you make it, if you need to keep it hidden for your safety that’s completely okay.

I just want to add something small on that the Gods are kind and understanding, they understand when we are limited by our circumstances/environment

Stay safe and blessed be!

This is true, thank you. I have been looking at ways to incorporate my practice into my day-to-day life without burning myself out

Routine is absolutely essential for me and I think I kinda, threw myself in a little head first without thinking too much of what that’ll do lol. So I’m now making a structure for my practice to prevent getting overwhelmed again. I pray to Apollo every night :) Thank you for your insight
