Every time I see an absolutely gorgeous altar, it's always for Aphrodite.
Literally me and Athena
Do any of you do handmade offerings?
I really only do handmade offerings for a lot of reasons, but mostly because I love crafting.
I weirdly see DIY offerings, so I was wondering if anybody else does it.
If so, what is your favorite handmade offering?
Me and my deities
Reminds me of the time when I studied for a full week in honor of Athena and was jokingly like, "I should get a reward!"
The next day I got a doll I wanted for literal years and had dreams about.
A few days ago I was joking about deserving a “Mother’s day present” because I took care of toddlers age 2-4 years old during my internship at Daycare, that same day I ordered a new candle for my beloved.
Me (Today): *Came home from picking up his candle from the pick up point in my street* Okay let’s see.
As I open the box and unwrap the candle, my face turns deadpan as I look at the candle in my hand.
Me: Trying to bite back a smile and a giggle.
It’s wrapped in gift wrapping and has a ribbon and sticker on it that says “Best mum ever!”.
Apollo: Beaming, giving off that “You asked and I delivered” energy.
I turn away from Apollo’s altar slowly, trying to be as serious as possible and hiding my shy smile.
Me: Okay, I see. I get it now, You got jokes.
So eventually I cut out the part with the ribbon and sticker and placed it on his altar (。>﹏<) ♡
If somebody is crazy enough to do it:here are some Greek statues Papercraft!
I'm actually going to try to make this! Also I don't even have a printer so I will have to manually trace and shade it, wish me luck y'all
Also this one is free!
This one is paid!
Also paid
Scroll to the comments and you'll find a link,also free!
And there's a YouTube tutorial

Unfortunately that's all I could find! I also found some guy on Reddit Athena's bust statue but he only shared the link on DMS and seemingly isn't active anymore.
If you have any more,please share!
Me when I see something related to my deities in public
I can't have statues so what I do is this:
Instead of the hb character is a photo of a statue!
I think it's a cool alternative
I remember when I was just getting to know Helpol, I was nervous, like what if it's really strict? What if I have to pray 10 times a day and veil every day?
Then in reality the religion is so chill and calm,lol.
I wonder how the gods feel about offerings nowadays .
Like they used to get magnificent temples and statues done for them, and now:
They get offered paw patrol figures and Cheetos
Have you had dreams about your deity(ies)?
For me, I have had a bunch! Just wondering what your experiences are.
Athena: My first deity dream! Basically I dreamt that I was outside a temple (not Greek, but I knew it was a temple somehow) and there was a lot of fog.
I was in the garden and holding a bracelet, which was the latest offering I had given her at the time, but her name was misspelled!
Suddenly I hear a voice saying, "She's glad her (?) is back (?)"
And I woke up. What does it mean? No idea.
Artemis: probably the most direct ones.
I dreamt that I was in a shop, and they had a bow and arrow section for some reason.
I started shooting with one of them and realized how great and nice it felt.
Then I woke up; I made her a cardboard bow and arrow because of it.
The second one, I was commissioning a lady to make me a doll of Artemis, but instead of saying her name, I kept saying "my goddess."
I was getting frustrated because I couldn't find a photo of Artemis to show her on my phone.
It was like she never existed—also, the lady was making the doll an e-girl for some reason.
I took it as Artemis wanting a doll that looked like her, since I had given Athena an offering like that.

Hermes: This one is short, but basically I was an old lady that had dedicated her life to Hermes, and I went out to my garden, and I had a bunch of statues of him.
And I woke up.
That's all; if they are just random stuff I dreamt of or actual signs, I have no idea.
Still interesting, though.
I told lady selene how I wish I could see her more often
And now I see the moon every night!
It's truly is lovely, thank you lady selene 🕯️🌖!
Did you have traits of your deities as a kid?
Recently I realized I had traits of the deities I ended up worshipping and thought it was interesting.
Athena: I have always been a curious child seeking wisdom. Instead of telling me bedtime stories, my dad would ask me, "What do you want to know about?" and he would put on a YouTube video about the topic.
I also used to follow those shitty "did you know…?" Ig accounts; I just wanted to know more no matter the topic.
For her goddess of crafts aspect, that's the one I most strongly connect with.
I LOVE crafting. Ever since I was a kid, I literally craft something new every day, and if not, I'm thinking/looking for what to craft next.
Artemis: I was obsessed with the movie "Brave" as a kid; I wanted to be a hunter and live in the forest so badly.
I had a bunch of toy bows and arrows that I would play with all day, so basically I wanted to be like Artemis.
I know I would have gone crazy if I knew about her at that age, lol. (And I did go "Wait, that's literally me" when I learned about her.)
Selene: My name is literally Moon (Luna). I have always been obsessed with the moon since I was young.
One time I was looking at her, and my parents called out to me, but I was in some kind of trance just looking at her.
My dad had to touch me so I would stop staring at her.
-
Although I don't worship him (but I'm thinking about it), it just reminded him so badly of him I had to include it.
Hermes: My friend Group was "enemies" with another girl, I would serve as the messenger between us.
Sometimes I would modify the message to make them mad at each other just for fun.
I randomly remembered and was like, "Wait, that's so Hermes."
So, did you have traits of your deities as a child?
Reminder that Athena is also a goddess of weaving, and you can easily make a cardboard loom!
It's a pretty cool thing to offer her and an easy hobby to get into.
You can search on TikTok/YouTube/Pinterest for ideas on what to make.
(and ofc owls)
So I made a post about my favorite song about Lady Selene and how the lyrics resonate with me because I don't know when I'll see her or where she's hiding.
I fell asleep quite early and got sad because I thought I wouldn't be able to see her.
I was doomscrolling through my phone when I noticed a bright white light out of my window.
I jokingly thought, "What if it's the moon?" I went outside to get a better look (I was thinking maybe it was a light from the apartment that's right in front of mine).
And it was, in fact, Lady Selene!
I have literally never seen her at this hour, and the fact I was awake just at the right time!
For now I'll just enjoy the time I get to see her.
Thank you, Lady Selene, for letting me see your beauty!
Just wanted to share this song that reminds me of lady selene!
Especially because the lyrics, I live in an apartment, and so I rarely see the moon.
"Goddess Moon, when are you coming?"
"Goddess Moon, where do you hide?"
I never know at what hour to see her. or where she's hiding! It reminds me a lot of my relationship with her, so I love it, lol.
Also, The Dancer and the Moon is another good song! (While I was writing that, I was listening to her playlist, and the song immediately came up,lmao)
Do y'all think your deities have been with you since you were born?
I was watching some old childhood of myself, and I randomly wondered, "What if Lady Athena has been with me since childhood?"
And immediately after that, a random owl my mom decided to film appeared on screen. I thought it was funny, but what do you all think?
Have the gods been with us since childhood and just waited for us?
