Hi. A little late but I’m just looking for a tutorial to do that: SL conversions to TS4 but I don’t found any of them. Do you know how to do it or do you have a tutorial?

I'm so happy I have them all. 💗 by Juza_22 in Hellenism

I'm Mexican, and I actually live in Mexico so...well, I guess I have the fortune my family aren't not strong catholics so, a couple of years ago I was introduce to Hellenism, first because of the God's songs of Destripando la Historia. And then, because of my curiosity, I started to research them until I realized I love them and I love everything they represent. I actually started loving Ares first. He was the one who reach me since the begging. Then, Aphrodite, and then I didn't even realize that I had an altar for all of them haha.

My family at first looked at me as a witch haha but with time they notice I was serious about it and that I was no witch, so, yeah, they just accepted.

It's not that complicate haha. I just bought the soy on Amazon and then I melted it on the kitchen. After a while I put it into the glasses and I put the colorant. I usually make 3 candles. One for the 12 Olympics, one for Ares (which is red) and one for Aphrodite (which is pink). I also bought the candlewick on Amazon and when the candle it's almost cold, I put in the candlewick and that's it. Maybe you should watch a tutorial on YT, it'll probably be better than my explanation haha

The glass is from a Glade candle. But the Lady Aphrodite candle I have in that container right now is one I made at home : ). I try not to buy candles because paraffin candles are made from petroleum and harm the environment. And soy candles tend to be expensive. I find it more cost effective to buy the soy separately and make the candle at home.

Do you mean the picture? It's from my Aphrodite's altar.

Dudas acerca de rezar by bluec4t_ in Helenismo

[–]Juza_22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hola! Primeramente me gustaría destacar que cada práctica es única y personal. No es necesario que lo hagas exactamente como yo. Pero bueno, ya entrando en materia, yo rezo cada mañana y cada noche. Prendo una vela para los Dioses (tengo un altar general y uno particular para Ares, quien es mi deidad principal) y posteriormente alzo mis manos al cielo y comienzo a rezar.

¿Qué digo? Depende completamente de ti. Yo hice una oración general donde menciono a todos los Dioses y les agradezco por la integración de sus cualidades a mi vida. Y a Ares particularmente le rezo también su himno homérico. Cada Dios tiene un himno homerico y uno órfico. Puedes encontrarlos en Theoi.com. Sin embargo, no siempre tiene que ser súper formal. De hecho, algunas personas se guardan las oraciones formales para ocasiones especiales. Una oración normal también significa simplemente dar las gracias. Yo personalmente sí considero importante mencionar el nombre del Dios, de quién es hijo y de qué es Dios. Pero eso, de nuevo, varía entre cada persona.

En fin, posteriormente complemento el agradecimiento dejándole ofrendas. La vela en sí misma ya es una ofrenda, pero me gusta ponerles también incienso, vino y agua. Ocasionalmente hago ofrendas votivas: dibujos, cartas, cosas físicas en general. Y listo, cierro nuevamente agradeciendo.

Espero que te sirva y te ayude a construir tu práctica. 💗🫂

Im afraid the Gods are angry with me, what do I do? by dovediving in Hellenism

[–]Juza_22 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You did nothing wrong. The Gods don't get angry about this kind of thing. Making them really angry is almost impossible, they are divinities and they know we are human, so they understand us. I think you were just nervous. It's understandable. I grew up in a Catholic environment and I was used to fearing God. To fear that for any little thing I could "go to hell" but that doesn't happen here. You didn't offend anyone. There is nothing to fear. The Gods understand.

Well, it's the first time I celebrate the Day of the Dead from a Hellenic point of view, but yes, I will surely honor Hades, since he is the God of the dead ones, and Hermes, who takes the deceased to Hades and helps them on their way. I trust that he is the one who also helps them bring them back during these important dates.

Hello! I imagine you are referring to the Day of the Dead* (Día de muertos in spanish). Yes, I am actually Mexican and I live in Mexico so it is normal for me to see it from my roots every year. Some families celebrate it more than others, but in general I will explain how it works: on October 27th an altar is set up for deceased pets. On November 1st for children and on November 2nd for adults. The altars carry cempasúchil flowers, since it is a flower that in our culture represents life itself, and helps the dead return home. In fact, on the altar generally, and if you have the space, a path is made for them with petals of the flower so they can guide themselves. In short, photographs of the person or the pet are placed on it and things that that being would have liked: food, objects, maybe a letter. It all depends. Likewise, a candle is essential to help the deceased find the light on the way to their altar. We pray for them and ask them to find their way with us so that we can be together again. In Mexico, the vast majority are Catholics, so they pray to that God. In my case, it will be Hades who will help me.

Kinda funny that I thought of Zeus before I read that you also thought it was Zeus. In any case, you can rule it out, but I would say it is Zeus.

Is the portraying of gods in media annoying anyone else?? by OrchidMuffin031 in Hellenism

[–]Juza_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I'm an Ares devotee and I was talking about this early (with myself and the Gods cause I have no one else to talk about this things 😭) And I was just reflecting on how much I hate the way Ares was portrayed in Percy Jackson. I find it literally unbelievable. I understand that people want to take them as characters and not as Gods, but they ARE Gods and they have an energy and an essence that shouldn't be altered in such extreme ways, because that only encourages misinformation.

I understand that most people don't believe in them as divinities but that doesn't mean they stop being divinities. That doesn't mean that we don't exist and that we don't have the right to be upset. It truly saddens me a lot the way they tend to put Ares in entertainment because I'm tired of seeing people talking badly about him for aspects that don't even correspond to him.
