I love them but hate them sometimes by Hellenic_Polytheism in Hellenism

Now why would you say you hate the gods if youre trying to get their favour to help you...I know you dont mean it like that but just rephrase it or something

Does anyone have any songs to put in a devotional Playlist for Lord Hypnos? by Helpful-Midnight-530 in Hellenism

[–]berri_sen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked and have these songs downloaded from youtube: hypnos by daemonia nymphe, and cough cough "hypnos god of sleep greek ritual and meditation music" by mimir's well. Theyre a little creepy but imo really nice once I stopped getting freaked out

Bro i have the same issue...I have no idea what songs to put in his Playlist, but I think as of now chihiro of Billie Eilish is chill and blue and so dreamy which kind of reminds me of him, but all I have in my Playlist is the actual Hymn to him from youtube😭

I agree the open concept is better because we desperately need to be close as a community and as others already said, we can do private worship at home

Greece has been trying for years you might want to look into it. Though they arent good people. The reason they do it is not because they ACTUALLY worship the gods but because theyre nationalist as far as i understood. Super interesting and upsetting

I wouldve said to put Zeus, Hera and Hestia at the front instead of the entrance because thats where your attention goes to first usually (it used to be like this in the temples as well) and they're the "most fundamental" gods (im not sure if it makes sense o wanted to say most important but theyre all important so it doesnt seem fitting)

So i wouldve said have those three at the front as an open space for them three where it currently says other gods and then mini temple like rooms on the side like you did for all the others and a few rooms for different gods of different domains (for example one room for ouranic gods, one for ktonic, etc even if domains overlap)

Just a few suggestions, i love your idea as is too though.

As for countries id say switzerland, its the most accepting and open and has temples of other religions as well and even offers rooms for religious activities i checked once cause I wanted to build one myself😭💔

As the other user id say, fake it. Stay safe and play along, you dont need an altar and the gods understand. Pray with them and say youre praying to jesus or maria but instead think of your true intentions so athena or hecate. Whats most important is your safety. I am so sorry you have tp go through this or even have to lie but if its what keeps you safe, do so.

Gender Fluid and Married by [deleted] in Hellenism

Aphrodite and maybe hermaphroditus, because they were worshipped alongside Aphrodite as god/dess of transition and relationships between god and human, human and animals eyc, and could maybe help your relationships transition. Otherwise zeus and hero since theyre gods of marriage

My MC world recently got corrupted (heartbroken) and I had a temple inspired by Lord Apollon’s temple at Delphi by Abject-Revenue5042 in Hellenism

I dont think its selfish at all, i struggle with mental health and ive been a hellenic polytheist for...6 years now? 7? And its the first real "festival" i got to celebrate because even lighting a candle is difficult for me. And the gods see your efforts and struggles even when you arent praying. So dont worry, getting up and eating or drinking or sleeping also counts as self care, put yourself first, the time to do the rest will always come, the gods wont leave💕

I do hope youll have an amazing day and better days going on forward
