So I Made A Post About My Favorite Song About Lady Selene And How The Lyrics Resonate With Me Because

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.

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 (｡>﹏<) ♡

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

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)

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?

Me when I see something related to my deities in public

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 🕯️🌖!

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)

Me and my deities

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
