Do Y'all Think Your Deities Have Been With You Since You Were Born?

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 🕯️🌖!

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)

Every time I see an absolutely gorgeous altar, it's always for Aphrodite.

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?

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.

Me and my deities

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)

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!

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 (｡>﹏<) ♡

Literally me and Athena
