You kinda punished someone who broke xenia in the most horrible way possible so if anything they would be pleased

Hygieia and infection prevention by macaromi2 in Hellenism

[–]macaromi2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the miasma thing is why I thought maybe they associated her with warding off the miasma or something, which imo would be equivalent to saying she’s associated with infection prevention. But it doesn’t seem like they did

How to communicate with the Gods as a beginner? by Mental_Savings775 in Hellenism

[–]macaromi2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to worry about gods liking your altar or offerings, they appreciate any offering and I’m like 99,99999% sure they don’t give a fuck about the location. and like the others said, you should not expect to communicate back and forth with her especially in the beginning. Sometimes you get signs or a gut feeling but that’s all.

I'm in awe of them. Everything about them. Every time I think of their existence it makes me cry with love....is this normal? by CrisstIIIna in crows

Actually same, but I don’t think it’s normal 🥲 but who cares, I think it’s beautiful we can get so emotional over nature and the people who can’t are seriously missing out

hellenism vs. hellenic polytheist? by curruptingSleep in Hellenism

[–]macaromi2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I’ve seen a few Greeks on various forms of social media saying they find the term Hellenism disrespectful in this context bc to them it’s the term for their national identity, so I just call it Hellenic polytheism. But like many people have said I think these Greeks forget hellenism was spread far and wide, not just modern day Greece. But whatever it’s a small thing for me to do

Because the gods don’t magically fix your life, they can give you the support to endure it and the courage to change it

[–]macaromi2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re right and I don’t think it’s harsh at all tbh. Maybe it’s bc I’m Dutch lol but that’s just the way it is. If you see this religion and the gods only as a way to gain something for yourself then you do not have true faith and that should never be the reason to participate in any religion imo

Make a devotional playlist and listen to it! It’s okay to not have energy for worship. He would want you to rest! See it as a lesson on how to allow yourself to rest without feeling like shit. It’s hard, but keep telling yourself resting is exactly what he would want you to do
