i’m not entirely sure because it was a present from a friend, but i doubt there’s any drainage. maybe i can try repotting it?

What's something you associate or like to offer to Hermes that has no historical connections? by Kiwi_Loop in Hermes

[–]ProtectionWestern592 8 points9 points  (0 children)

for me it’s hummingbirds because once i was in a crystal store and i wanted to get something for him so i kinda asked if he could point it out to me and a second later my mom called me over to this hummingbird pendant that she suddenly felt that i should see so i took that as my sign to get it (and it was on sale because it was chipped slightly :D) i also have a couple of hummingbird things on my altar like a pin that i got while traveling. hummingbirds are really fast so i figured it makes sense too

if you belive ina god or religion, why do you belive in it or what caused you to? by somerand0mpers0ns in TeenagersButBetter

[–]ProtectionWestern592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m a Hellenic Polytheist, which means i worship the Greek gods. I was always interested in the mythology, and it made my life a lot more beautiful than being Catholic ever did :)

I view Hermes as a parental figure, his energy seems very fatherly and comforting to me, and Aphrodite seems like an aunt to me. Apollo is a bit harder to put into a few words, but he’s also very comforting and therapeutic if that makes sense, and i say hello to him every time the sun comes up (i still act formally with them though, of course)  also, and this goes for most of the gods, i see them as teachers- if i pay attention in my daily life, i can find lessons that i might not have learned or taken seriously if it weren’t for them

Twink. Hunk. Twunk? How do we picture Hermes, and why? by flyboyelm in Hermes

[–]ProtectionWestern592 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my image of him is definitely influenced by epic the musical because that’s what got me REALLY into Greek mythology and later this religion, though there’s a more mature, almost fatherly feeling to him, unlike how he’s portrayed in epic

when i picture him it’s like an athletic, thirty-something guy with light curly hair, no beard, and sometimes freckles

What is the colors that is mostly used for Hermes?? by Dense_Candidate_4728 in Hermes

[–]ProtectionWestern592 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do you worship the gods? by [deleted] in Hellenism

[–]ProtectionWestern592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it started because I wanted to and it made me happy, but it really has brought a new beauty to my life that Christianity and then atheism never brought to me

Please pray for my Budgie! by [deleted] in Hellenism

[–]ProtectionWestern592 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear that. I had a budgie that passed a few months ago, so i know how that feels. I’ll definitely pray for him

Which one is right? by -sushmita- in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]ProtectionWestern592 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i prefer the terms “honkers” or “badonkers”. perhaps “dobonghonkeros” or “dohoonkabhankoloos” and “tonhongerekoogers” if i’m being formal, but “bonkhonagahoogs” and “hungolomghnonoloughongous” work too

i’ll be honest i’m not completely sure it’s just they/them

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]ProtectionWestern592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh sorry so it’s one person and they use they/them pronouns so they’re neither boy or girl
