˚˖𓍢ִ໋🌿•̩̩͙⁺゜About me

Hello, you can call me Thyme! I’m a 21 year old witch (?) from the Netherlands! I use she/they/he pronouns, genuinely go wild with them, none feel right anyways.

Capricorn ☉, Sagittarius ☽, Virgo↑

🖋️ @letterconfetti is my main blog, I like and follow from there!

You can always ask me for one free tarot reading! Other asks are always welcome!

˚˖𓍢ִ໋🌿•̩̩͙⁺゜Spiritual info

My spiritual path has been very chaotic (to say the VERY least). I used to be a Helpol, but was told by the god that that path wasn’t for me, after a spiritual awakening. So now, I’m just floating around again, not sure where to go to next.

I have faith though! I’m certain I’ll end up where I’m supposed to be.

➤ Focus: tarot + meditation

Last updated: 18 May. 2025

Don’t get me wrong, I will always believe in and respect the Greek gods, but I won’t be working with/worship them any longer.

I won’t go into detail what happened exactly; I’ll just say it was a spiritual experience/awakening that changed a lot of things. For everyone’s good, the gods have told me that it would be better to no longer work with them directly. They are not mad at me or anything; this conversation was very civil and very kind.

It came as a surprise and I’m quite sad about it, but I know it’s for the better. While I loved this path and was convinced I’d follow it for a long long time, deep inside I knew something would happen that would change this.

I had the pleasure of communicating with many, many gods and it was absolutely wonderful. I learned a lot of things, I had many beautiful experiences and met some lovely people through this journey.

This blog will stay in existence for witchy/magical/tarot stuff, but no longer for Helpol related content. If you followed me for this specifically, feel very free to unfollow me or stick around if you wish!

My other blog, @skele-thymes, will be deleted, as it was specifically focused on my journey with the Chthonic gods.

DAY 13: Do you write your own prayers?

DAY 12: Do you do food offerings or libations? What do you do with the food/drink after you’ve offered it?

I barely do any food offerings as I find it difficult to justify for my unknowing parents or to throw perfectly fine food away. I do sometimes make a cup of tea or water as an offering!

Also, when I can’t finish my food, I throw it away with an attempt and the intention to offer it to a certain god! The gods seemed appreciative!

DAY 11: What is the clearest sign you’ve received from a deity?

A LOT of signs in a row from Aphrodite! When she first reached out to me, I was BOMBARDED with signs, which I compiled.

• I asked her to send a rose as a sign, and then my mom asked me to watch a dating show together with, of course, was filled with roses.

• I thought about her while on a boat, then a swallow flew over and around our boat for a little bit.

• I saw around 6 hares, in 10 minutes, while thinking about her.

• I also saw around white dove IN THE WILD how often do you see one??

And all this within two days! It may have been more signs, but this is what I remember right now.

DAY 9: Is there a practice that’s common among other Hellenic Polytheists that you’re skeptical about?

Candle divination. Maybe it’s just because it doesn’t work for me, but I just find a candle WAY too easily manipulated to be reliable on.

I suppose you could say the same about a pendulum, which would be true, but the thing is: people who use a pendulum are AWARE of this and are more skeptical of it, while people who use candles are usually the younger, new Hellenic polytheists without other tools, who take this little flame as a 100% fact.

DAY 10: What’s something you’ve learned about Hellenic Polytheism that you wish you knew sooner?

As long as you’re not being disrespectful on purpose and not breaking any promises, the gods are extremely forgiving (in my own experience).

I’m horrible with food offerings and NONE of the gods have ever minded that. I was terrified of doing things wrong (still am tbh) but they are always so reassuring that it’s all ok.

DAY 8: Do you have altar(s)? If you do, how do you use it? If you don’t have one, do you want one? Why/why not?

I have one big altar for all Chthonic gods together, but themed after Hades and Persephone. Futhermore I have smaller “altars” (a little space themed after the god, basically, more so a shrine) for Hypnos on my night stand and one for Hermes and Demeter (they share one, because it’s themed yellow help) on a shelf!

DAY 7: Are you openly a Hellenic Polytheist offline? How does being open/not being open effect your worship?

If someone would ask, I’d probably answer honestly, based on how well I know the person and based on knowing how they’ll react.

I’ll probably bring it up carefully, like saying I believe in all gods and religions and that I personally choose to work with the Greek gods!

DAY 6: What’s one way you incorporate Hellenic Polytheism into your routine (daily, weekly, monthly, etc?)

I try to pray to the Chthonic gods in general every morning and evening, but don’t always succeed. I also just think of the gods when seeing the beauty of nature. I thank Nyx when I get to bike home underneath her beautiful night sky, I thank Zeus whenever it rains and I get to enjoy it cozily inside and I thank Hermes when I was able to travel safely when taking the train. I also like to listen to music that reminds me of the gods!

DAY 5: How much have you bonded with your deities?

With some very much! Gods like Hermes and Hypnos I’ve already spoken to and bonded with a lot. Hades I have spoken to often, but for some reason, I don’t quite feel a strong bond.

Hecate, Persephone and Demeter were hanging around at the start of my journey, but I haven’t been seeing them much now.

DAY 4: Are there any deities you don’t currently worship but want to learn about?

I technically worship all Chthonic gods, but I’m not close to them all, which means I don’t actively worship them all at the same time.

I’m starting off strong with this challenge by forgetting the first three days, whoops.

Let me catch up!

I can’t link the post for some reason, but if you look up “31 days of helpol” you’ll find it easily!

DAY 1: Who was the first deity you began worshipping? Do you still worship them now?

I first started worshipping either Apollon or Hermes, I can’t really remember. However, I was only 14 years old and had horrible mental health, so I couldn’t keep it up.

When I was 20, however, I was reached out to by Aphrodite! She was the first goddess I ever worshipped, and the first deity I worked with since restarting my path in august of 2024!

I stopped worshipping Apollon and Aphrodite, but I do work with Hermes again!

DAY 2: Which deity did you most recently start worshipping? Were you called to them or did you reach out first? Do you think there were specific reasons behind why you were drawn to them?

Most recently, I started working with all Chthonic gods. It’s a long story, but I’ll try to keep it short!

I was working with Dionysos, Hephaestus, Poseidon and Athena when suddenly all contact with them stopped and they never responded. Hermes then told me there was a new path set out with me, which ended up being with the Chthonic gods.

Of course, it’s quite hard to work in equal intensity with ALL Chthonic gods, so I kinda just work with whoever wants to help me at that moment! Currently, this has mostly been with Hades, Hermes and Hypnos! The three H’s!

DAY 3: How long ago did you start Hellenic Polytheism?

I attempted this path when I was around 14, but I failed miserably. My mental health was painfully horrible, so I couldn’t keep it up.

IT’S MY BIRTH MONTH!! 🎉
