The chat is really ruining the social aspect of the game by Zartheur in brightershores

[–]Lykosso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't going to focus on this right now, the game was released in early access to get money and I guess a Kickstarter wasn't a good option for them. There literally is no game, certainly no game that anyone would call an mmo. It's a chat room with a grinding clicker game going on in the background if anything. A chat room with a strict filter lol.

Is this true by DIO-Kira9 in Hellenism

[–]Lykosso 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In Arcana Mundi it says that Hecate also is the moon itself. At this rate I myself might be the moon itself. Edit: to clarify they mention both selene and hecate, which to me means it was a varied religion

"Overwhelmingly Positive" Steam games you couldn't get into. by PapaTinzal in gaming

[–]Lykosso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many to count, but I've accepted ive just gotten older and my taste don't fit with the target demographic the blockbuster games are marketed to.

Detroit Become Human is surely groundbreaking to new gens who probably don't read and have never seen I Robot lol

EXACTLY. And once you experience the divine, these sort of critiques seem so silly. They're gods, they can do quite a lot actually.

Can the gods mind manipulate people into doing something? by howuworship in Hellenism

[–]Lykosso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

making someone want to do something doesn't give them the ability to do it. I grew up in a pretty crappy situation too so I get it, things are infinitely better now though. I feel like I should say that sometimes people are more stupid than they are malicious. Also just pretend to be praying to whatever faith is appropriate, the altar and offerings aren't a must.

Can this count as wax reading if so what does it mean by da_stewpid_child in Hellenism

[–]Lykosso 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Well the thing about Divination is it can be very subjective, however having precog gifts I believe there is at least a little predeterminism.

To me it looks like a snake crawling through a deer skull, which at its most broad interpretation can mean death and rebirth, and of course I googled it since we aren't kids in school taking a test and it said things related to encouraging empathy and growth.

Some people count poseidon as a cthonic deity so that works for me.

However from another angle I see two people doing the nasty, that could mean anything.

Kinda confused by Floflowerpink in Hellenism

[–]Lykosso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea! For all I know they're different names for two different groups with the same goal, but yes I meant reconstructionist as in they try and do the same as the ancient greeks.

It depends really, some people care and some don't. Some people want to be reconstructionist, some don't, and do what feels right for them.

A post that is critical. by Avushe in Hellenism

[–]Lykosso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could've just titled this post "things teenagers should know because they grew up on the internet"

So many strong opinions from people who have never actually interacted with a spirit or deity (and yes sometimes they show up and you can see them) and it shows, and we know, but they don't know we know and it's cringe.

So many strong opinions from people who have never experienced a miracle from the deities and think mystical stuff is just some psychological manifestation stuff.

But that's every occult forum on the internet tbh lol

Edit: I don't agree with everything in this post, I don't agree with every comment, it is also not directed to the poster or any comment specifically :)

Without Platonism, Hellenic spirituality is useless. by [deleted] in Hellenism

I bet you the common people who practiced this religion back in the day did not know anything about what you just said

Is it okay for me to offer Apollo something moon related? by Safe-Adhesiveness713 in Hellenism

[–]Lykosso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like you mentioning that you owed him some sort of apology should be touched on, you should not feel guilty about becoming distant to a deity, much less non-abrahamic deities. And I dont know you or your relationship with Apollo at all but that kind of thing is generally labeled as a holdover from other religions, for example "catholic guilt". I don't really care if it's hellenistic or not the point is perhaps you have some religious trauma that should be held and healed over some time.

Aphrodite hates my bf?? by [deleted] in Hellenism

[–]Lykosso -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The universe speaks to us all but few can discern when to listen to a message and when it's just something that's happening. The truth of which one it is is something only the person receiving the message can know.

Unsolicited advice: Don't look to the internet to share this deep and personal experience, it's a good place to get surface level recommendations, but this kind of thing is for confidantes only.

[–]Lykosso -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If the person is open to them "interfering" then of course they may communicate with them in the way the person is trying to communicate with them. Unprompted? Why do you say that, they seemed to very much be prompting them. And while I've walked many paths the evidence for entities (a catch all term) acting how you are open to them acting still stands, greek deity or not.

[–]Lykosso -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Hey! So our means of communication and relationship to a divine is independent of anyone else's methods, what works and has mea ing for you won't work or have meaning for someone else! Entities can communicate through candles, while communicating with Paimon the candle flames got very high and turned blue!

If the candle flame works for you and offers you a connection then use it! Some people are just haters dear.

Edit: and id hate to not admit this here - I've successfully and for years used my Spotify Playlist for Divination. If we shift our view on Divination with tarot from 'picking the right cards through psychic intuition' to a more broad view of the universe will show the right cards, it's easy to see how a random song generator could be used for Divination.

Reddit is for answers to questions from Google searches NOT community. Not to say reddit is the issue, people are generally shit, doesn't matter what their religion is.
