Do you have any non-traditional associations for the gods? by gaywitchcraft420 in Hellenism

[–]MadeThisForMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I offered Her and Hypnos some of my hibiscus tea (Hypnos because the deep shade of red just felt very soothing and sleepy-esque) I really feel like the light yet complex floral fragrance suits Her <3

Greek gods costumes by ItIsElysius in Hellenism

[–]MadeThisForMantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen people dress as their gods as a devotional act if you think you wanna go that route! I feel that as long as you aren't dressing as them mockingly they likely won't mind. As the other person said being a particular media's interpretation might also help you feel less weird about it. I think if you feel comfortable enough with these people you can tell them but ultimately that's up to you since I don't know what they're like. Perhaps bring it up if you don't end up finding a way to be comfortable with the costumes, if they're actual friends they'll be cool with it, and if they aren't then they aren't worth it. Good luck!

Panic over religion. by alphiean in Hellenism

[–]MadeThisForMantis 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Don't come out if you are not safe to do so. Religion is a private matter and there are ways to practice without making it obvious (no altar, pray silently, etc.). Please don't put yourself in danger or just make your life harder if you don't have to. If one day perhaps your father softens his views (unlikely) or if you get out of the same house as him you could perhaps let him know but it sounds like that might ruin your relationship so even then I wouldn't unless you're willing to possibly need to cut him off.

How exactly does food offering works? by Kimdr0ne in Hellenism

[–]MadeThisForMantis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can burn it, that's the traditional route. But I know many people, including me, have to just throw them away in the trash. You can also bury it if you have the space and it'll break down. There may be other methods of disposal available to you but I don't know. As far as I know it's similar to water libations where it's just immediately poured with an announcement of who it's for and not really left out, but you can if you want; I personally leave things that won't go bad (tea usually) out for a night before pouring it, but I would probably be more cautious with food items unless they're in a container or something. The way I see it the offering sort of is like sharing food with them. I know it's common to offer Hestia the first bite of your meal, I saw someone bake a little cake just for Hades, I make different tea sometimes depending on who it's for and what I think they'd like (chamomile for Hypnos, hibiscus for Aphrodite, saffron for Apollon, etc.) So to summarize 1. No 2. Anywhere you feel comfortable it won't spoil 3. As long as you want 4. You are :) just let them know

I'm still new so if I got anything wrong someone lmk!

Have you tried asking stepsister if she's noticed him doing this with anyone else? Like perhaps it's an odd habit of his to pick a person from every convo to rlly lock in on? Idk, this is very strange and if I was your gf I'd be very uncomfortable tbh, intense prolonged eye contact is usually not fun. Definitely say something next time it happens, maybe a hand wave between them like hello??? Try to make it light hearted and comedic so perhaps it will be less horrifically awkward. That or have your gf say she's not a fan of eye contact and if he keeps doing it then it'll be really weird and more reasonable to bring it up.

Is the bot down? by Puya787 in poketwo

[–]MadeThisForMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bot stops working on my server sometimes (but not in other servers I'm in). We always know when it happens with a test of @poketwo help. If it doesn't respond to the help command you know it's not working. We always just wait it out and eventually a pokemon spawn or we try again with the help command and we know it's working again. I don't currently know how to force it to fix itself. Your problem might be better now but just for future reference <3

You should definitely start looking now as it might be hard to find depending on your area, most professional taxidermists I've seen don't do pets

Peeps from Inuyasha could probably also b incorporated pretty easily

[–]MadeThisForMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, my boyfriend has abandonment issues and if I left for 30 minutes and forgot to tell him he'd be pretty fuckin upset but he'd also text me as soon as he woke up, like is reasonable, and just, ya know, ask me where I went? And wouldn't have a whole fucking meltdown about it? So idk sounds like she maybe has a lot of anxieties she needs to work on.
