"I sing of golden-throned Hera whom Rhea bare. Queen of the immortals is she, surpassing all in beauty: she is the sister and wife of loud-thundering Zeus, -- the glorious one whom all the blessed throughout high Olympus reverence and honour even as Zeus who delights in thunder."
Homeric Hymn 12, to Hera
Happy Theogamia!

Truly I am becoming so sick of people treating my religion like a fun quirky irl Percy Jackson. (I've ALWAYS been sick of it but oh my gods)
This is a REAL AND ANCIENT RELIGION. These are GODS. Not your silly best friends that are just constantly chilling around you. The lack of respect towards their divinity and weird mortalization of them I've seen in some spaces (not as much on Tumblr but tiktok and SEVERAL discord servers I'm in) is so uncomfortable and angering.
The prevalence of "deity identification spreads" as if they're trying to figure out their godly parent in PJO, the constant "what god is reaching out to me?" questions I see from beginners who barely even KNOW hellenic polytheism, and the constant treatment of the Theoi as fun friends that just sit around on altars at someone's every beck and call. It's so upsetting? It's so uncomfortable?
Yes, the gods love us. Of course, they care for us. But where is the respect? Where is your kharis? How can they love you when they don't even know you? And how can you claim to love Them when you hardly know Them?
You MUST research in this religion. There are no cutting corners. You must must MUST learn. Because without understanding how sacred the practices are and their significance of them to their time and who these gods truly were, you run DANGEROUSLY close to religious and cultural appropriation.

Theogamia / Hieros Gamos - Helpol Festival
~ About it and how to celebrate it ~
Hieros Gamos, meaning sacred wedding, is the festival celebrating the marriage of Zeus and Hera on Gamelion 27 and, this year, on January 27th.
The Hieros Gamos is the celebration of Zeus and Hera's marriage and the celebration of marriage itself. They're honored as Zeus Teleios or Zeus of marriage rites and Hera Teleia or Hera as the married woman. Little to no details of the original festival remain, beyond the possible reenactments of Hera and Zeus' marriage at Knossos.
Good ways to celebrate the Hieros Gamos include giving offerings to Hera and Zeus, honoring or giving offerings to other married deities, feasting, and reciting the Orphic Hymns 15 and 16 and Homeric Hymn 12. You can also honor current or past relationships and the marriages of people around you.
