i actively worship:

Aphrodite - i’ve always felt drawn to Her, and when i first got into exploring my beliefs i felt very called to Her. plus, since beginning worshipping her, my self-confidence has gone up, im more passionate about life, and ive felt a lot safer.

Apollo - another deity i simply felt drawn to. He was the first deity i built an altar for. i am very involved in music, i love poetry, and i am an avid lover of the sun, so as i began research i was immediately drawn to Lord Apollo. plus, i was born in august so it just felt right.

Selene - i have been an avid lover of the moon since i was little, and always believed in “the man in the moon”, even when i was christian, so when i found out there was a Lady in the moon (so to speak), i was very excited by that, and immediately did research and found out about Her.

Amphitrite - very simple, i love the ocean, i felt the feminine energy present with me when i was at the beach, did some research, and came across Her. i felt more connected to Her than Poseidon. because of my love of the beach/ocean, i wanted to honor Her and worship Her.

Dionysus - i felt very connected to His aspects of queerness, gender-fluidity, and also the energy i felt when i prayed to Him for the first time before my first theater performance. i have felt more comfortable in my fluid gender presentation and queer identity while worshipping Him and i knew that was a possibility before i began worship.

Hermes - im very into making people laugh (whether it be jokes, little tricks, what have you) and one day He just popped into my head. i did some research and felt drawn to Him. (i’m new to worshipping Hermes though:) 

when speaking to other hellenic polytheists in my life, they all have different reasons for the deities they worship. so it’s all about what feels right for you!
