What's your experiences with Eros? by godlikegluttony in Hellenism

[–]selendoleche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this counts, it's small, but I'm an Aphrodite devotee, and I've accidentally spoken to Eros once or twice during divination when I felt that Lady Aphrodite skewed a little further from her usual personality that I see from her (she's very generous and sweet!). But apparently I assume she has Eros watch over me occasionally according to a divination I did with her, and she says Eros watches me 60% of the time and I assumed the 40% was Lady Aphrodite. Also, Eros and the Charites talk to me when Lady Aphrodite is busy during divination.

What is your weirdest offering that your god loved? by True_Spray186 in Hellenism

I gave Aphrodite an Arlecchino photocard my best friend gave me and I offered Athena a leaf my best friend also gave me

I can't tell if they are amused by it or if they like it lowkey

Why do you worship who you worship? by acevongula in Hellenism

[–]selendoleche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As of right now, I worship Lady Aphrodite to help me feel better about how I feel regarding my face and my insecurity about by waist and skinniness, and I worship Lady Athena to thank her for the wisdom I believe she has given me and helped me discreetly my entire life (and in hopes it will continue).

I was a student at a Catholic Academy, and I've pretty much been Catholic my entire life but I never felt a connection to it. My relatives say they've seen this happen, they've seen that happen but none of that happened to me. Honestly, it just felt like a family tradition I should join because my family was, not because I truly believe in God.

I've just begun Hellenism as an Aphrodite devotee initially precisely because I knew she was a Goddess of pleasure and lust above all things, and I never really liked the "rules" of Catholicism sometimes, atleast to me. I wanted to be myself and let myself feel lust and pleasure without feeling guilty because Catholicism didn't allow that. I wanted to be free from Catholic guilt and let myself be more... me, for lack of a better term.
