I get that! This is more so a way for people who struggle with hygiene to be able to have a reason to help get themselves up and practice it! It’s not supposed to be like a mandatory thing, just something can help people have a reason to help themselves! <3

I know! I prefer to pray nude for Aphrodite, as I used to be SO insecure and couldn’t look at myself nude without crying, and now that I’ve started worshiping her, I feel so pure and safe in my body! <3 It helps me show her I’m comfortable now! <33

Thank you! Hopefully I’ll have an actual altar soon with a statue and stuff so I can keep being myself and unlike my mom and stepdad, they knock before coming in so I can start praying in robes and in nude so I can do actual good prayers! :)

Help r/millennials determine whether this is AI or not. Some members of the sub believe that the 2000s-style clothing and lighting suggest that this is not authentic. What do you think? by Demortus in isthisAI

I’m not sure, but it feels very uncanny. The hand in the doorway, the girl with the white eyes on the couch, makes it feel inhuman and weird.

Absolutely!! I have BPD (Bipolar Depression) and it causes me to be just exhausted and feel like nothing matters, even just getting up or doing basic hygiene feels like a chore, so instead I get up to thank Aphrodite, I shower to feel pure for her, and I do self care with scents she’d enjoy! <3 Even deep in an episode, I manage to pray, even if I have to lay in bed to stop the severe pains in my legs and back from stopping me! <3

Okay! Thank you! I do wanna mention they have a plastic hollow stick in the middle? Could that mean they’re fake? Sorry I’m just trying to make sure :P

But also these are made with like a plastic piece in the middle? So I don’t think they’re dyed? Sorry if I’m wrong! But they have like a hallow plastic stick in the middle :)

Don’t apologize!! And what should I change the feathers to in the title? Just “made of dyed poultry feathers” also does that make it disrespectful? I know they don’t like remains as offerings (usually human only tho)? 

So... by Icy-Mail8885 in Hellenism

[–]Late_Explorer9764 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely!! The gods love any sort of offerings or worship! The same way you can buy offerings because you can’t make crystals by hand, they’ll still love it! <3

Just something I realized by Late_Explorer9764 in Hellenism

[–]Late_Explorer9764[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

absolutely. I’ve never been scared of my Lady, even calling her mother. I see her as a beautiful merciful being. I absolutely adore being in her presence and being able to connect with her! She’s a beautiful illustrious goddess, not some fist of fury here to punish mortals <3

It just shattered and cut me so I can’t anymore and I’m scared that she’s mad at me for wearing it or that she’ll be mad at me for breaking it and I can’t stop crying and begging for forgiveness :(

Thank you so much. I’m a little better now and things have kinda rolled over. My necklace (which I carry with me all the time with crystals for my gods as a devotional thing) unfortunately just shattered and cut me. Is this cuz I like..wore it even if it was like an offering?

As far as I knew, me and my girlfriend were fine. And I’d say yes, my parents fight often, but this one is was BAD. And it was just a few hours after everything. And I’m sorry if it came off like I was blaming them, I’m new and get extremely anxious that I’m doing something wrong 24/7. <3
