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
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)
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.
Me when I see something related to my deities in public
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)
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 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 🕯️🌖!
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
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!
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?
Every time I see an absolutely gorgeous altar, it's always for Aphrodite.
