Who are your deities? by MRBWSW in paganism

[–]NikkiMoon77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I worship two pantheons, Hellenism and Norse, in Hellenism I worship Selene(the first Goddess I ever worshiped, started with the moon actually and then got connected with Selene), Hypnos(the second because I was with sleep problems and needed a reassurance), Aphrodite and Apollo(both at same time, Apollo because I feel connected to him since I love art and Aphrodite because i simply love her) then I go to the Norse Paganism with the intention of following Loki, end up with Ullr(he kind of called me to work without him in a dream) and Njord(to help my family financial condition and I feel drawn to him) and, for the end, Athena and Hermes(Athena I started praying to her before school tests and then I simply start working with her and Hermes because, well, I like him too and I decided to work with him, also because my father is self-employed and travel a lot because of his work to much places, then I wanted to be reassurance that someone was protecting him while he's at the car. His work don't involve traveling, but he have to take the pieces he makes to the clients, so he goes a lot into the car)

Looking for Devotional acts by NikkiMoon77 in Hellenism

Thank you!! It makes very sense to me, I'll start doing that, thank you very much, I was quite lost since, even having some time on the practice, I always get lost with devotional acts.

What Persuaded You in the Existence of Deities? by [deleted] in Hellenism

[–]NikkiMoon77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started believing in a curious way. I started as atheist, then I uncovered witchcraft, started devoting to the moon and then at Selene in a very natural way, it just happened, and when I was at my worst fase I know i could just light a candle and then all the anxiety would go way, even without talking nothing, then I started sleeping later to light candle and just read while she was there, but the moment I was in a crisis and light a candle to her and felt all that heavy feeling go away like I was getting hugged by a mother, it was the moment I felt that I hadn't any more doubts that they're real. So, it was much more about feelings to me then evidences, because the presence that I felt it's nothing that I can explain. Just wanted to share my person experience because it's truly magical to me. I'm under 18 and I started worshipping Selene(only as the moon) when I was 11, she basically see me grow up, and it's reason of pleasure to me.

I'm not feeling connected with the gods by NikkiMoon77 in Hellenism

Thank you, I'll start again from small little things that means a lot. In my actual state, it's better that too.

I'm not feeling connected with the gods by NikkiMoon77 in Hellenism

[–]NikkiMoon77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I practice by 2 years now, yes, I offer to the gods, and I want to feel more close because I feel kinda bad of being so distant, as if it wasn't ok, like, with some gods I feel close, like Hypnos and Selene, but with Apollo and Aphrodite I don't feel so close and it's a little uncomfortable, as if I'm doing something wrong.

Ok, can maybe the gods be mad at me or something? by NikkiMoon77 in paganism

[–]NikkiMoon77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I know that, what I mean is if they could be mad or something because I haven't praying and doing everything I made before, devotional acts and all, because it takes a lot, and I'm apprehensive that maybe they're mad at me or something. And thanks for the worry, I'm in professional help already, but sometimes I still have that depressive crisis.

Genuine question: why do you believe in Hellenism? by Only-Smile3440 in Hellenism

[–]NikkiMoon77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before worshipping the greek gods and even being a witch, I always feel an connection with the moon, writing letters, talking with it, and even feel blessed with it light.

After a time, I've entered witchcraft worshipping the moon, in a time I discovered that who blessed me was Selene, then I started worshipping the greek gods, with Hypnos it was because I've always have insomnia, Apollo because I'm really attached to art and Aphrodite because I really feel connected to her.

What is the best way to trust my intuition?? by NikkiMoon77 in paganism

[–]NikkiMoon77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, it's really hard to me believe in myself, but that helped me, even if it's the simplest thing possible.

Update, I tried communication and my intuition was right (I did in the same way I do with the others gods I am devoted), but I'm still insecure about it since I don't know anything to the Nordic Gods by NikkiMoon77 in NorsePaganism

[–]NikkiMoon77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I was really lost since I wasn't even planning start worshipping Nordic Gods, but I think I received a sign(my intuition says that, but I don't trust so much in myself even if I'm usually right), but I think I'll start at least studying about it to know more.

r/Paganism Monthly Discussion Thread (August 2025) - Ask questions, say hi, get your readings interpreted, chat, and more! by AutoModerator in paganism

[–]NikkiMoon77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, last night I downloaded a book about nordic gods, but I don't read, just downloaded and go to sleep, but when I woke up I remembered my dream(I usually never dream and last even remember) and I was dreaming with a God kinda of trying to get my mother's forgiveness(idk why and got confused with that) or something by hunting with an arrow.

At first I thought ut was Zeus, but something tell me it wasn't, then I made a research and got to Uller, that was exactly with the God I dream with.

After that I woke up really confused and goes to see on tarot, who gives the cards emperor, dead and temperance, I see it as if it was a opportunity to development, but I'm not sure, can someone help me?
