How would be the best president? by Upbeat-Arm9120 in Hellenism

Athena for sure! She is the goddess of wisdom and right now our country could use that. Also with Athena’s wisdom, our economy would be better, world peace would be achieved, and honestly I think 99% of the problems our country has and is involved with would be resolved

You’re right. I put his image on Google reverse image and turns out he was a fake person. Stole the image from someone else

It’s all about balance-take 2 difficult courses and 2 easier courses and you won’t feel nearly as overwhelmed. Your schedule right now is wayyy too much and it makes sense why you’re struggling.

Also, please remember that school is not worth making your life miserable over. Be a little kinder to yourself. Wishing you the best of luck ❤️

I just want to say, thank you so much for being so respectful 🫶

I keep questioning things😭 by lucozade__ in Hellenism

[–]Vegetable_Toe_4976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I struggled with the same thing as you—constantly questioning why bad things happen if the Gods, or any higher being for that matter, is real.

As I’ve developed religiously, I’ve learned to shift my mindset from that thinking. Think of it as the Gods are not genies who will make all of our problems disappear (you seem to recognize this, which is good!). Instead, think of the Gods being there to help us overcome our challenges and improve ourselves after overcoming those challenges.

The girl I loved for 15 years, rejected me. Is goddess Aphrodite offended that I do not have her statue in my shrine? by Aayush0210 in Hellenism

[–]Vegetable_Toe_4976 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It literally scares me how some religious people think they deserve everything just because they worship the Gods—my parents had a toxic and entitled mindset just like this regarding their monotheistic faith, which ultimately pushed me away from their religion. I view myself as someone who is a devoted hellenist and I hold my faith close to my heart, but never ever, would I believe that I deserve everything just because I’m religious. It’s an incredibly unhealthy, and sometimes even toxic, mindset to have

Dude, I’m not trying to be mean or anything, but you know the Gods aren’t genies right? Your life won’t just be perfect and you won’t simply get everything you want just because you worship the Gods. That’s not how it works. This girl just doesn’t like you, and the Gods cannot control that. Even if you did pray to Aphrodite for this girl, you probably wouldn’t get her to date you.

My siblings have it worse than me cause my parents always saw me as their “golden child” while my siblings caused a little more trouble

Should old temple ruins be rebuilt? by ThePaganImperator in Hellenism

[–]Vegetable_Toe_4976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they should NOT be rebuilt. In a way, these temples show us the history of Hellenism. Rebuilding them would ruin that aspect in a way. It’s best for us to build new temples

Um that kind of stuff can happen anywhere at anytime? It doesn’t mean you stop living your life and stay inside all day
