Reminds Me Of The Time When I Studied For A Full Week In Honor Of Athena And Was Jokingly Like, "I Should

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 🕯️🌖!

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?

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.

If somebody is crazy enough to do it:here are some Greek statues Papercraft!

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?

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)

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

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!

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 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
