taking an anthrolopology of world religions class this semester and since i told my professor i am a pagan he always asks me about wicca whenever it comes up😭 like girl that is NOT my flavor of witchcraft at allll
i don’t know who needs to hear this, but here it goes: you don’t have to repeatedly and harshly punish yourself for every little thing you think you do wrong. you don’t have to diminish or eliminate your worth and dignity in order to become a better person and acknowledge your mistakes. please forgive yourself, please keep going and please, be flawed! perfection is unattainable.
Re: omens in nature. I've had to leave the witchcraft community on Reddit because of the dozens of weekly posts asking about interpreting natural omens. OMG, a crow has been calling near my house? I found a coyote skull in my yard? What does it MEAN?
It means that animals live and die in nature. Shocker, I know. Not everything is about you.
I don't mind people who see things as personal omens. My spouse's family interprets every Snap-On Tools truck as a hello from his dad, who passed five years ago. We send pictures saying "Dad says hello".
But let's be clear - if it's a personal omen, you'll know what it means.
If you don't know what it means, it's probably just a butterfly.
"If it's a personal omen, you'll know what it means. If you don't know what it means, it's probably just a butterfly." That single sentence has basically fixed the way I view signs and omens, thank you so much 🙏

Something about Aphrodite walking out of the sea for the first time being a metaphor for stepping into womanhood and going through puberty.
Lived for so long weightless and carefree and naked in the sea, and now theres suddenly the crushing weight of gravity, you have to carry your own weight with no help. Everyone is looking at you, at your body, you're so exposed. You're being seen, percived. But by more than just fish and nymphs, by everyone, even those with bad intentions. Judged and lusted over at the same time, when you're still so young and learning to walk on land without stumbling, the water hasn't even dried on your skin yet and already theres expectations to meet.
First and foremost, community is not a place, a building, or an organization; nor is it an exchange of information over the Internet. Community is both a feeling and a set of relationships among people. People form and maintain communities to meet common needs.
Members of a community have a sense of trust, belonging, safety, and caring for each other. They have an individual and collective sense that they can, as part of that community, influence their environments and each other.
David M. Chavis & Kien Lee
Honestly, when I stop thinking of HelPol Tumblr as a community, the space becomes a lot more tolerable.
It's definitely possible to have a community of like-minded individuals within the Tumblr space, but I know I personally don't feel much of a sense of belonging here as a whole. I am like a pendulum, swinging constantly between loving and hating this space. Sometimes, people create really amazing content, and other times, vitriol and hate run rampant.
I could go on and on about the things I don't like about the space, but then I remember it's not a community to me anymore, and then it all becomes easier. To circle back to your original question: why do I think our community is stretched so thin?
It's because there's really no sense of trust, belonging, safety and caring for each other—the very definition of community.
I wanted to bring this back to the forefront, because I feel like this is probably the single most important thing I've said on this account, but it was very quickly buried in the mess of everything at the time.
Recently, I've been feeling a bit lost in what to do with myself online. While I still want to post content about Hellenic Polytheism, and share aspects of my practice, it just feels hard. I've had some people tell me that I should just move onto other communities and focus there, but I don't want a different community.
I want HelPol Tumblr, and I want it to be great.
Last night, I spent a bit of time with Hermes just trying to work out my feelings. There are so many people who are trying to bring some positivity back into the community, and I by no means want to squander their efforts or anything. That said, so much of the push for 'positive vibes' feels rooted in trying to prove that they are better than others. I want to emphasis the word feel, because I know that probably isn't anyone's intention.
It just feels like rather than building a community for the sake of togetherness, people are trying to force it down mid to prove themselves as superior in some way. To feel as if they've won over their opposition. Rather than being a community built in spite of hate, it feels like the community is ran by it.
For the sake of looking like a 'positive' community, any kind of conversation has been killed.
I look at the HelPol tag and people have stopped interacting with each other. There are no more long, well-researched deep-dives, or beginners asking questions. Instead, I see a group of individuals posting short tidbits about their private practice. It's wonderful to see that, but it is undeniable that something is missing now.
I know that so many people complained about the "drama", and the hot-takes, and the everything else but the community never felt alive. Or at least, it felt like people cared enough to speak out.
I look around and I cannot help but wonder if this is the 'community' everyone wanted. One where people feel like they cannot speak out, built on appearing better than your opposition, and showing fake kind faces. I don't think so, but sometimes it feels like it is.
I've been thinking of what I can do to somehow make the space better, but I don't know. I can run as many mini-events as I want and post as much informational stuff as I can find, but that won't ever address the core issue. I don't want to be some sort of pillar of authority, and I don't want to be a leader. I really don't think that's what the space needs right now. But it's like, what else is there?
If you've made it this far into this post, I assume you feel similarly, and I'd love to hear your perspective too. I want to have an open conversation, one without vague posting or disrespect. It can be in my inboxs, on or off anon, or in the reblogs. I just want to know that someone else cares and/or feels the same way I do.
We long for community, but often aren't ready to be productive members of one. Help beginners; we all start somewhere. Listen to the perspectives of others; you may find that you can grow from it. There are so many ways to practice hellenic polytheism, and there are so many perspectives we can learn from, as long as we are willing to put in the work, be kind, and listen to each other.
You aren't the first person to point out that we aren't really learning from each other in this space. I think a lot of this feeling of division without the space comes from people feeling like they aren't being heard or understood, if that makes sense? It's one of those issues that's hard to fully tackle, but I agree that if people are willing to put in the work, then it is totally possible to build a safe space for everyone.

if you take witchcraft advice from a beginner or anyone under the age of 18, please keep me updated. I love watching videos of car crashes but I'm running out of content.
Oh, how I sing of Kypris!
She born of the sea foam
She who wields a spear
Patroness of Kypros
Of fertility, of sex
Of war, of state
Of sailing, of sea
Of metallurgy, of wealth
Protectress, guardian of Kypros
How I praise you, well-crowned goddess
And hope you may receive my prayer
inspired by reading about aphrodite's worship in cyprus, and by a figurine of her in a helmet, holding a spear. 🩷⚔️
