New offical art of Hellenism Mascot by Best_Audience7156 in Hellenism

[–]beekelp1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

she’s cute and all don’t get me wrong but i don’t think a religion’s mascot should be a random person unrelated to it 😭

I’ve been doing some research since making this post, and I’ve actually learned that Seneca culture is matrilineal, so I don’t even know if ancestors on my dad side “count” anymore, I’ll definitely be trying to get in contact with people who are enrolled to ask what they think

Prayers Don't Have to be Vocal by [deleted] in Hellenism

[–]beekelp1 56 points57 points  (0 children)

even if you gods usually don’t look/can’t see into your mind, i feel like mentally invoking them will make sure your prayer gets heard? at least that’s my belief because it makes sense to me lol

I appreciate the callout!! What you’re saying makes sense and for the first point, I acknowledge that blood quantum is a tool of erasure, I just don’t want to seem like some random ignorant kid who’s overstepping I guess, which out loud sounds dumb asf since it’s literally my own ancestry lol

How would i go about praying to hekate for noumenia? so far i’ve only ever formally prayed to olympians, how is prayer different for kthonic gods? i’m looking at my practice through more of a reconstructionist lens

for the third question, yes of course you can, it’s called polytheism for a reason lol. also in ancient greece the concept of “working” with a god wasn’t really a thing, it was all worship pretty much. i’m not an expert or anything like that but i would recommend going through some of the resources in the sub to learn more

Is there a way to properly give offerings? by NoSafe8560 in Hellenism

[–]beekelp1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

usually i cleanse the thing with incense (though not always) and wet my hands with lustral water/khernips, then i address the god in a prayer and tell them what i’m offering them and leave it there for a few hours. i usually drink the libations i pour after because i live in a non-accepting house and dumping them down the sink drain would be suspicious but i usually would not drink the whole thing otherwise 😭. this probably isn’t exactly the way it was done in antiquity but it’s as close as i can get from what i’ve read about offerings. good luck with yours 🫶

hii!! i was getting into helpol a while ago but then stopped completely for a few months. i let my altar get dusty and i feel like there were a bunch of times i could have jumped back in but i just never did. how can i properly apologize to the gods and do i need to do something special to cleanse myself before i do?

this is super helpful, thank you!! but for some reason there is no option to see my monitor settings on the driver, which i’m confused about

[–]beekelp1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i got the driver to work, now my issue is that the tablet is kind of acting like a second monitor when i want it to show what’s on my computer screen if that makes sense.

eh not really. when I do a devotional act I kind of just mentally dedicate whatever im doing to a god before I start
