The closest thing I could get to depicting Aphrodite. Not 100% accurate. Maybe 97%.


Oh and


…. Her. Aidoneus’ Bride. Scary lady. Minus the white stuff on the veil.

Starting a new writing project regarding hellenism and my practice. once i get a decent way into it, im considering putting them out for people to see. got two options:

publish them on this blog just as a regularly scheduled post series

record them and post them on a hellenism YouTube channel (just in the vein of video essays or audio podcast stuff)


if you have an opinion on it, let me know. like, reblog, message, tag, whatever you want to let me know what you think i should do. or if you think i should keep it to myself, go ahead and say that

cheers

when i die

burn my body to ash

so that my spirit is freed

a plain terra cotta amphora

to hold whats left if me

put two coins in the ash

the highest value you can find

and bury my on a hillside

with a birch planted, reaching for the sky

and when you think of me

find an asphodel flower

so when you pick one for you

you can think of where i will wander

at peace and knowing

you’re doing okay

and on the Fields of Hades

we might meet one day

Hermes 

Swift-Footed and Luck Maker

I offer these things, my time and my car

Let the tires that roll on the ground 

Be a set of spinning prayer wheels 

Gathering energy going round and round

Take the steering wheel concerts

And speakers blasting loud

Cleanse the space with joyous, raucous sound

Every tank of gas, ever oil change

Every swipe of the wiper bladesIs a libation to you, dedicated to your name

My signals and distraction free time

Is a gift to you of mine

To remind me of the safety you invite

Every mile I drive, every trip to and from home

Is dedicated time to the god of the road

Take this prayer and dedication earnest and true

For it is you Hermes, that I give it to

“good practice” isn’t just formal rituals and tons of offerings


“good practice” isn’t observing every holiday with a feast and celebration with a large party and hundreds of dollars in decor

“good practice” isn’t praying every day.

it can be laying on your bed or couch with your headphones in listening to a playlist or audiobook.

it can be cooking or baking something


it can be lighting a candle to clear up that weird smell in your room but also because the candle scent reminds you of something


it can be wearing a necklace or ring everyday without any second thought to it except when you need to shower


it can be picking up every piece of change off the ground because it feels like finding a little treasure


it can be vibing in a dark room lit only by some candles and doing nothing for five minutes


it can be working on that project you needed to get done anyway


it can be picking up that instrument you barely touch anymore because you feel like playing a couple songs before putting it back again


it can be watching that one channel on YouTube that gives you some good vibes


it can be hanging that pendant off your rear view mirror


it can be anything. The gods aren’t limited to your altar. The gods aren‘t neglected just because your offering plate gets dusty. The gods aren’t demanding.

the gods are everywhere and in everything in your life. It’s taking the time to recognize them and remind yourself of them every day.


”good practice“ is whatever you’re able to do

Remember, even the smallest altar tucked in a corner hidden from view will still make the Gods happy and gives you a place to worship them.

And if you can’t have a physical altar, one drawn in a journal or saved on a computer is just as good. Hell, an imaginary altar that you have in your head is good enough! They understand, and see you trying, and are happy with you.
