#what about the rest of you
Hey, Hellenic polytheists!
It’s always been in the back of my mind that I want to be buried with a coin under my tongue so I can have passage to the Underworld. I’ve been wondering what other Hellenic polytheists thought about that issue? What do you want to have happen? I realise that death is kind of a touchy subject, but if you’re willing to share your two cents, I’m all ears.
Ha, two centsPersonally, I’d like the whole ordeal to more or less follow the old traditions when I die. Depending on the circumstances, that may or may not actually happen, but thats a whole other Thing that we don’t really have the time to get into
Honestly, since my parents and most of my friends and family are Catholic all I thought that I might be able to get away with is to be cremated and have some of my jewellery mixed with my ashes. If I’m old enough to be open about my paganism and have the means to get myself buried the way I want, then having a pyre with a coin under my tongue and two coins on my eyes and my favourite knife (weapon) with traditional prayers is the way I want to go, with my ashes then spread in the forest.
