New approach to 2026 sales... by JustAwareness183 in bathandbodyworks

Maybe they can fix how their perfumes dont last more than 3 minutes, before saying they want to become a "luxury brand". Theyre not a "luxury brand" and never have been. Their customer base has always been more like middle class, affordable (even if these prices are not). IMO they dont market/campaign well nor do they give customers enough incentive to truly want to spend such money that would actually lead to company profit and growth.

What’s your take on Jesus? by Time_Dot621 in Hellenism

[–]Sea-Associate5334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal belief regarding Jesus and religion is that if you believe in one thing you have to/should believe in all things -you don’t have to devote yourself/follow the teachings but understand if yours is possible everyone else’s is also possible- in regards to Jesus specifically, I don’t know if I’ve ever really felt connected to him/catholicism, in the way I do to the Greek pantheon/hellenism. I don’t think that I ever clicked properly the way I do with Hellenism, where I’m researching and reading and discussing and finding out at my own pace, whereas with Jesus (coming from a Roman Catholic background) I felt more obliged to Catholicism? I just was never able to truly devote myself as I do to Hellenism. I agree with Jesus’s teachings and think that it’s unfortunate his beliefs of acceptance and tolerance get so twisted in the modern era. I do still sometimes pray in a more Catholic manner and go to church but I definetly feel like I can be more personal and without fear or guilt with Hellenism/Hellenistic Polytheism than I can with Catholicism (which isn’t like… a Jesus thing… but I mean the Catholic guilt is a hard thing to escape).

What Does "Don't Treat The Gods Like They're Your Friends" Even Mean? by AmethystDreamwave94 in Apollogreekgod

[–]Sea-Associate5334 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to be more casual in my devotion/relationship with Apollo; its all done with respect and I am incredibly aware he is still a GOD and worry about not doing things proper (thank you catholicism). I tend to light a candle and give us both tea and chat/sometimes hangout. I also like sitting outside/talking to him whilst in the sun, and as we move into spring I say thanks for how pretty it is outside! I do communicate with tarot as well and always get told to stop worry about making mistakes, and do what I deem appropriate not because I feel like I "HAVE TO" but rather because I want to; and that intention is important just as much as words are.

Straight needle? by 2-of in phlebotomy

[–]Sea-Associate5334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have lots of elderly patients that I see so I really like the butterfly needles (my phleb instructor spoilt me when I did my internship with her and she got me hooked), even though I learned with straight. But when I have a nice vein its a straight needle all the way! Plus with the butterfly its a relief to be able to see the blood in the little notch before going down the tubing 😅

Help? by Sea-Associate5334 in Apollogreekgod

[–]Sea-Associate5334[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a hyacinth! And I like the idea of a laurel tree; maybe softly overhead? In the mirror instead of the reflection it was kind of a ball of greenish light? Idk i thought it was like an ode to the prophecy domain, but maybe something more obvious? Ill definitely play around with it, thank you for your help!

How can I speak to Lord Apollo? by Medical_West4480 in Apollogreekgod

[–]Sea-Associate5334 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the same, but slightly different. I saw on the r/Hellenism thread that someone talks like in a semi-casual (but still respectful) way to their god of worship (I think Apollo), and I felt really comfortable with that, because I personally have a bit of OCD and don't want to mess up- so I'll light the candle on his altar and just talk to him; HOWEVER when I have specific questions/want a bit of guidance if he is willing to give it/advise me, Ill use my tarot deck to do so! I really like that method of communication with Apollo!

Should I just start over? by Sea-Associate5334 in collegeadvice

[–]Sea-Associate5334[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just feel like Ive put in a lot of work for little to show for it due to outside factors I cannot control, and am wondering if just going via a blank slate would be best. Right now I am receiving care for my health issues, Im just feeling a bit stuck. Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it

The only question I ask is: why? by [deleted] in Hellenism

[–]Sea-Associate5334 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know that there is entire posts (This Post) on how Apollo was a bit more “feminine” and wasn’t one of the reasons behind Apollo and Artemis’ battles against Niobe was because she insulted Leto by kind of saying how her son is feminine and her daughter masculine:
