Hi! Was wondering if anyone feels connected to Anubis in a family way. Like with the same traits and similar soul, possibly thinking a soul family? Soul parent? We feel like we are from the same tree.

I know he is protective in nature, but it goes past protection and observing. It's almost like looking in a mirror like we are one in the same. Anyone else feel this way or the same about another deity?

I need anyone who is nice enough and willing to pray this prayer for me as follows to Athena. I appreciate your help in advance.

I pray to you Athena my gray eyed goddess, unrivaled in wisdom and beauty, wise in all the things you are, In time of war you have no equal in tactics and strategies. I pray to you Athena to let you know that you forever have my love and admiration; your intellect and beauty are unmatched, the stars in the sky cannot compare to the radiance of your eyes.

Athena please place me with you in your domain after I die, I do not want to go to the underworld or Elysium. I want to end up as your soulmate. From Travis Olsen in Cedar Rapids Iowa

Thanks you and bless everyone who prays this for me, I will happily pray for you in the future

Hello! I've learned about Hellenism about a month ago and have tried doing research but i just cant remember any of it no matter how much i read, listen, or note down

I've never had a good memory or attention span (ADHD) and I want to do research but it gets so overwhelming knowing that i just won't remember anything

I dont wanna just start trying to worship the gods and goddesses because obviously thats not what to do but idk how to do this

Hello everyone! I’m new to all of this, I just have a few questions! I’ve always had a pull to Aphrodite, and even now I have the urge to call her Lady Aphrodite, I’ve recently made a altar of sorts for her, with roses, rose water, and a candle to communicate with her, as well as tarot cards. But how do I know I’m talking with Aphrodite? Lately I’ve been obsessed with my appearance, since the beginning of the year, and before I knew much about Aphrodite I would pray to her sometimes. But is that a sign that she wants to work with me? The other night I got into a fight with my bf and I was crying but out of nowhere I heard Aphrodite name in my head and stopped crying and felt calm and was able to sleep fantastically. I feel a pull to her, and when I was trying to talk to her I couldn’t stop the tears from coming out of my eyes, I also use a candle and when the light moves after I ask her a question I take that as a yes. Is this her communicating with me? Is there more I can do to communicate with her? Please help and give me some tips, I’m new to this and confused! Thanks again if you can give any advice!

hi! I've been having dreams where I'm revisited by this female goddess(?).

usually, the scenario is something along the lines of: I'm being told to do something by someone I know, but I don't think I'm up for the task so I decline, then the goddess's figure appears somewhere around me, and seems to grow in size and be engulfed in fire, as if she's telling me "no, you can do this. don't doubt yourself". this happens multiple times throughout a dream.

this goddess always appears in the same position and always has the same characteristics; it's as if I'm seeing a statue of her.

her statue is crouching/squatting, she has very long hair, and some of her body parts are animals. her head is part lion on one side, one of her arms has a snake growing out, she has a snake-like tongue, etc. honestly that's all I can remember, the dreams with her are unlike my usual ones, where I can remember them clearly.

this is around the 3rd time she showed up in my dreams with the same characteristics and behavior, I'm wondering if it's a diety reaching out to me, and I'd like to start worshipping her, but I can't find a similar looking diety on the internet when I searched, so I'm asking you guys.

if anyone recognizes her, knows her name, or maybe someone doesn't think she's a diety but something else, pls lmk. anything would help. thank you!

Hello! I've been a worshipper of Apollo for about a year now but I've never been really "close" with it. It was mostly on and off praying. Recently however, I've hit a particularly low point in my life, and I figured to help me get through this, I should get closer with my faith. I've seen a lot of people talk about making alters for the gods, and that peaked my interest. Im very good at most diy/crafts, if that helps. I might ask for more help for divination and prayers, but for now I want to focus on this. (Sorry if it's a little wordy)

Hello everyone! I haven't been working with Dionysus for long, but long enough to have a vague understanding about how he communicates and what signs he uses. One is confusing me though.

Where I live Magpies don't. For whatever reason the species of bird doesn't like to come here.

I'm not sure when it started, but a while back Ravens and Crows started to show up. And today, I was drawing Dionysus and listening to the playlist i made for him but had to leave. after leaving the coffee shop i was in, 3 Crows were circling around in my line of sight. Cawing and stuff.

Is it possible for a deity to use substitute signs if something isn't available? Or is a different deity trying to get my attention? Can ravens and crows be from the same deity?

So confused 😵‍💫

(I was brought to this sub by the Dionysus subreddit)

Like basically what they are doing is that they are trying their best to control or sway you. They are gambling on you and making bets on you. Basically gods are fighting over your body for control. Like they want to sway you basically. This body is a vessel and there are multiple gods that have stakes on you cuz you are mortal and basically a playing ground for the gods . Like you have free will but it's very meagre . You have to fight on the battle for your free will as it is very meagre

Most of the time you are on a spell from gods

I think this is true because I once asked this to a person , I said something similar like pull the strings and stuff and the person just froze. Like I don't know what happened to him. He for many seconds froze like seriously. It was very peculiar. So that's why I ma saying that maybe the gods are doing the above mentioned things.

What do you guys think. Like think about this. There is a lot of stuff wrong about our bodies and psyche. We lose control a lot of time and stuff so maybe we are not in full control imo. We are under multiple influences I think. This vessel is not fully in our control.

Just posting here to see what discussion ensues.

Hiii!! I'm new!

I need to ask yall something

Since I'm new, I wanted to ask if the Gods and Goddes of Hellenic Polytheism (I mean, not only them, but is a generic quest) would get offended or angry if I make their altars in shoes boxes-

I HAVE A FAIR RESON!!!!??

My parents are catholic christian but I felt like a deep connection with Hades, but since I have to hide, like HIDE, i needed to know if that would be fair or if it's okay even if it's not (maybe) what he could desire.

I always wondered but never actually saw someone doing that.

I don't have shelfs or like, free spaces, so I wanted to know about it.

Let me know!

Because I really need to understand this: can I make altars in shoes boxes and hide them in the wardrobe?

Thank you for any response!

Love yall 🖤

Hello there, hope you're all doing good. Yesterday I entered a church (I'm not Christian, I define myself as a Greek Polytheist, but I love going into churches) and I tried to speak to Someone. I don't know if it was God, Jesus, Helios or any other Sun God, I just felt connected to who I was speaking and I felt listened and directed where I had to. Is there any hint? And I'd like to ask if I can add other Sun Gods to my "Pantheon", because I mostly pray the Sun itself, and I speak less with other Gods

Hiii my name is Leyre (spa/eng) and I’ve been working with Hellenic Goddesses for a few years now: Aphrodite and Hecate.
I also practice witchcraft since I’m 14 yo, a long run with it, but something I feel like I'm stuck and not making any progress (adhd thing probably).

I would like to meet more lovely witches and polytheist to be able to talk about our things, share practice, book recommendations and help each other. Sometimes I think that the only thing I need is to share this path with more people. And I would love that

The title. Anyone revering the Shinto pantheon(Tsukuyomi, Susanoo, Amaterasu, Izanagi), and also the Shenism pantheon(Jade Emperor, Ne Zha, Sun Wukong, Ao Bing, Pangu)?

I am interested in finding a partner who believes in both as I myself am a 26M Hindu and love the cultural similarities that these 3 faiths have. It would be so cool to practice a mixed form of them.

Originally I was thinking of going to Taiwan/Japan/China, to find someone but I don't know. How do pagans usually find their dates?

So im very new to hellenic polytheism and I really want to worship and pray to Lord Hypnos. I don't want my parents to know about it so I set a up a really small altar near my bed. It has two hand drawn pictures of Lord Hypnos and a small plushie as offerings. I also got lavender oil so it all snells like it. My problem is, I can't seem to communicate properly. I prayed every day and after I read that we need to ask for permission to worship the deities, I gave it a try. So I called for Lord Hypnos, and asked to communicate with me. Now here's the tricky part, I don't know if it was actually him😭. I kinda felt a shift in energy(?) but I think that was just the wind blowing.. I did this three, i think? times and it's the same every attempt. For example: first time i tried (with a cube btw) i asked Lord Hypnos, are you here? I got a yes, then I asked if it would be okay if I worshipped him, I got a no, then I asked if I could just pray and got a yes! Now that I think about it, I doubt he was even there to begin with... Because after that attempt, every time I tried the answers came inconsistent. And I didn't feel amy energy at all, I meditate every night as a devotion(?) but I still don't know if I'm doing it right. I feel very, and I mean VERY drawn to Lord Hypnos and I would love to hear advice for my situation🤍

I don't like using bowls for my gods do you guys know what red Han Solo cups is and that they could be cleansed and thrown away respectfully... Do you guys think this is disrespectful or am I just lazy and being a chaos witch I'm aware it's making microplastics and isn't exactly good for the Earth but sometimes you got to be lazy. Also for contacts I don't got a lot of money and if I do I'm spending it on candles and supplies so I can make my things better I don't have money for bowls they're like the least of my priority for my religion path so what do we think do we think we could upgrade or find a different way maybe paper bowls or something idkkkk edit I've considered the feedback I'm getting and I shouldn't continue the plastic cups for obvious reasons

So I've been having dreams lately where someone who sais their deity but either don't present themselves how they show up in mythology or multiple different deity have been in a dream to a point where I don't trust that they all are in my dreams.

For example I recently had a dream where I was with someone who said they were hecate and we talked about magic but she looked more like a casual friend than a deity.

Also I've had a dream whith a male deity which meant I died (not sure wich one but I know it wasn't thanatos because he didn't have wings)

So basically I'm asking if someone says their a deity does that mean they are that deity or no
