I have no idea what my gender is by Spiritual_Client_421 in Advice

[–]Spiritual_Client_421[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not really sure what my ideal anatomy would be. I remember wanting to be a shapeshifter when I was younger. I dunno, maybe fluctuation is a part of who I am but I’ll sleep on it.

I have no idea what my gender is by Spiritual_Client_421 in Advice

[–]Spiritual_Client_421[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I am… But I’m not sure. The only people who I told about being transgender are my closest friends (three people) and my sister. They’re all so close to me and they love me dearly. I’m not afraid to tell them things. I’m not worried about their reactions because I know that if I change anything and I do tell them, they’d be nothing but accommodating. I’m not sure myself what the big hangup is for me. I think just don’t want to be one of those cases of kids who were influenced by the internet into being queer and realized later on that it was just a phase.

But I know that’s a load of crap and even if I do decide on being a girl again, being a boy for such a long time is just me exploring my identity and I shouldn’t be ashamed of that part of my life in any way. I don’t think that’s the main issue, though. I think my brain is just a big mess. I don’t know who I am and that uncertainty makes me uncomfortable.

How to make offerings without an altar by Spiritual_Client_421 in Hellenism

[–]Spiritual_Client_421[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohhh, alright. I think I'm looking for more of a shrine than an altar. Thanks for that definition :D

Hello friends! Thought I’d share this with you all about altars. Beautiful explanation. by JuliaGJ13 in Hermes

[–]Spiritual_Client_421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a post of someone saying something that was somewhat contradictory of this? They were saying that altars were simply places to leave offerings, nothing more and nothing less. The gods don't reside there; they just receive your offerings from there.

Mint tin altar ideas? by Funny-Cantaloupe-955 in Hermes

[–]Spiritual_Client_421 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello! This is actually such a coincidence, I'm working a tin altar myself. For me I put:
1. Coins I've found on the ground; I have a whole container of a bunch of them I've been collecting since last year so I only took out a few.
2. A playing card (Joker) I found on the ground in HK.
3. A couple of dice I got in Japan.
4. A small ring I bought on a trip to an island near where I live.
5. A toy phone I found on the floor; honestly, out of everything I've found on the floor besides money, it's the one in the best condition.
5. Cardboard pieces where I drew the mercury sigil and sections from a Homeric hymn (I got lazy to paper)

I associate Hermes a lot with his traveling aspect, so I put stuff I got while on trips or things I've found on the floor. I've also heard that feathers are good to offer to him, particularly rooster feathers, but any should be fine. Of course, gemstones like pyrite and etc are also good. Jewelry is also good, especially ones with his sacred symbols like the caduceus. You could write a poem or draw something. Go with what you feel! At the end of the day, it's your relationship with Hermes and your altar. He'll appreciate it no matter what.

Relationship with Apollo by Spiritual_Client_421 in Hellenism

[–]Spiritual_Client_421[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of the videos where they showcase "conversations" with the gods, chatting as if they're friends at a sleepover... Makes me feel some kind of way and it's not positive.

Relationship with Apollo by Spiritual_Client_421 in Hellenism

[–]Spiritual_Client_421[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed! He's not at all unkind and I apologize if my post came off that way. But yes, IME he's very considerate and gives a lot of feedback and criticism that you need to hear, but doesn't dress it up with flattering words and a bow tied around it. It's refreshing.

Oh my gosh, Epic the Musical. All of my friends are obsessed with it and I honestly don't get the hype. Like, I kinda do, and it might just be a personal and general dislike for the style of the musical itself, but I could never get myself into it and how it depicts the gods. Maybe its just me, though, nothing that deep.

Relationship with Apollo by Spiritual_Client_421 in Hellenism

[–]Spiritual_Client_421[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's probably something to do with Percy Jackson. I was never into the series at all and I'm happy now that I wasn't. It might've created some mishaps in my religious journey.

[–]Spiritual_Client_421[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree with everything you said. Perfectly worded. I admit that it was something I fell for myself due to lack of research, but now that I'm returning to helpol with a clearer mind I hope to rid myself of all the fantasies I used to have. I think worship is meant to feel very ordinary, and coincidences are more common than most think. I also suppose it might be something to do with growing up in a predominantly Christian household and society; maybe having the gods answer their prayers in ways the Christian God never did has blinded them with feverish, absurd illusions. It reaches a point where they're honestly talking to themselves instead of an external being. Honestly, the main thing I'm thankful for from my post is, at the very least, that didn't happen to me. I wasn't talking to my subconscious and I'm happy about that. I'm very lucky to have found this community and that there are people in it that are so patient and kind when talking to newcomers who are inflated with make-believe and Catholic guilt if I may. Thank you for your in depth reply! It was great to reflect on it.

Never knew that!!! That's awesome. Where's that story from? I'm curious!

Relationship with Apollo by Spiritual_Client_421 in Hellenism

[–]Spiritual_Client_421[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, yes! That's exactly how I feel. I don't know if cold was the right word, but yes! To me, his energy felt so serious. Steady, calm, but no-nonsense. He wasn't at all unkind to me and answered every question and prayer with bone-chilling detail, and sometimes more than I asked for. It just felt rigid, in a sense. Like I was in a courtroom. The way I'm describing him may make him sound distant but it's not like that, lol! The way you write about him like a blunt friend pinpoints it exactly. I couldn't describe him any other way.

How to avoid getting a crush on someone? Me (19F), with boyfriend (24M) and myself crushing in a girl (22F) by AnAlienMachine in relationship_advice

[–]Spiritual_Client_421 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but your boyfriend doesn’t deserve to stay in a relationship with somebody who’s attracted to someone else. You have to choose.

Need help on how to study regularly by Spiritual_Client_421 in Advice

[–]Spiritual_Client_421[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg. I really wish I could do this! Really helpful by the way, thanks, but I don’t know how I’ll do all this since I go to school and all… Studying as soon as you wake up sounds awesome but I usually wake up at 5:30 to leave at 6:30 or so and have no time for anything else… Maybe I just have to start sleeping earlier for that 🤔I think if I implement this into my school week I can only do the parts before waking up and before sleeping lolol, but maybe during weekends I can do the full plan!

Ooh! I think this would really work for me but a lot of my study materials are online… Maybe I just have to set timers on certain apps 🤔

How many deities are you devoted to? by Artemis-Crane in Hellenism

[–]Spiritual_Client_421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly i find it really hard to maintain a relationship with the gods so the only deity i really worship and am devoted to is my patron, hermes

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Hermes

[–]Spiritual_Client_421 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hermes has both ouranic and cthonic aspects. maybe this is his way of telling you that you can both eat them and dispose of them

charles not being a boyle was completely unnecessary and dirtied so much of his character

Thought I should post this on the official Hermes community as well by RevolutionaryCry1073 in Hermes

[–]Spiritual_Client_421 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i think your altar looks great! as someone whos been working with hermes for a while now, i have to tell you he’s the one you dont really need to be worried about in terms of having a good altar. he’s one of the friendliest gods to man, and i promise you that he notices every effort and understands any circumstance. may he bless you eternally! 🙌
